Life's a Journey

The storm has passed and we are back at home, picking up from where we left off. Gunner is 23 weeks old as of today ( 5 months) and he is growing so fast so quick. These days BB Gun has been a jabber mouth and it all started the day i got my teeth pulled ( Jan. 12th)  By the next day, Gunner was saying dada and i have to add he has such a beautiful little voice. Gunner has also been eating big boy food once a day and he is taking to it well. I have to admit in the beginning he did not like it one bit but i do believe he will grow to appreciate all the flavors God has provided us and love the taste of food as much as I do. I love watching my son grow however I just wish he could stay this little forever. –God is good.

Spent the first day of the new year at the Bergs.

 I love visiting grandma and grandpa and seeing the joy that comes over them each time that we do. It makes me so happy seeing the love grandma Berg has for all of her children including her great grandchild Gunner. At times I wish my son was much older and could remember these great moments spent at the Bergs. But for now I will continue to do my part of blessing grandma and grandpa with the best blessing I have ever received.

 Aaron’s dad John is working on a toy chest for Gunner’s first birthday and its turning out awesome.  He made moose heads for the handles and I love it.

Babies first christmas 2011

I couldn’t have had a better Christmas this year. I spent my holiday with friends, family, the man I love, and the little boy who owns my heart. I am so very blessed in many ways and extremely thankful for everything God has done in my life to get me to where I am today. What will take place in my life by this time next year? Only God knows….

Jesus is Speaking…….

God has definitely been talking to me lately and I hear him loud and clear. Ever Since my beautiful angel Gunner, I have been on a mission to better myself, step by step. I finally see the bright light and I never want to turn back. I have the passion inside me to do the right thing and I don’t want to disappoint him.  God has opened my eyes and filled my heart with his love and i am so happy he did so. I love my life,my son, my family and most of all I love God.

Without a higher power, my life is not fulfilled. Every single day, moment, and second is a gift from God and its sad how ones take that for granted. I am eternally grateful for the Holy Spirit that fills my soul. Jesus is the reason for this season and many tend to forget. Christmas is not about the pretty lights lined down the streets or the perfectly wrapped gifts under the tree. It’s not about how much money you spend on others or the amount of gifts you receive.  Christmas is about baby Jesus, and all he has done for each and every one of us. This is the first time in my life I finally understand what this holiday truly means and I am extremely grateful to finally grasp it. With little money this season Life, Health, Family, and Love is what defines my happiness.

For Christmas I have all I could ever ask for. I have Gunner in my life which is the best blessing ever, I also have the gift of God’s love which I will cherish for the rest of my life.

God has changed my world and if you let God in your heart, he will change yours too.

Every day i tell gunner that baby Jesus has blessed us so that we could finally meet each other .My son is my world and being a mommy is what I’m thankful for most. I am thankful for baby Braiden (monkey) in my life. From the moment I held Braiden in my arms I knew I would love Braiden like my own son. I am thankful for my best friend Nicole. I thank god for making me a twin for i don’t know what i would do without my sissy in my life. I’m thankful for my little sister which is growing into such a beautiful inspiring young woman. My little sister Cora recently found her passion in life and I am so proud of her. I will be your cheerleader any day rooting you on little sis. I’m thankful for my parents, for being there and loving me unconditionally. I’m thankful for my grandparents, I’m so happy they’re in my life.  I am thankful for all of my family who loves me and stands by me. I am thankful for my love Aaron. I’m thankful for everything he does for Gunner and me. I love Aaron so much and I am so excited for what our future has in store. More babies perhaps? I think so. I’m thankful for Aarons family who have taking me in as one of their own. I love them all so very much. And most of all I am thankful for God. God is the one in my life that gives me the passion to constantly better myself.  Our God is good and I love him so.  

Thanksgiving is about family and being together. Be thankful for what you have not what you don’t. And remember, the best gift to give is love. Love is what makes the world go round. – Danni

I am a strong individual and I know right from wrong. I love my family, my life and God. Each day I find myself face to face with a challenge. Challenges are not meant to defeat us, we are meant to defeat the challenge. I am so happy I can overcome this one. “I can do everything through him who gives me strength”, Philippians 4:13

I haven’t been on in a while and I apologize for that. So I will just pick up from where I left off. We had a great Halloween with my love Gunner. My sweet angel was a baby cow while his “brotherin” Braiden was a monkey. They were so adorable. We took the boys to my grandparents house (the fletchers) to get the boys ready. It’s always so nice to watch my grandparents eyes light up when we bring the boys over to visit. The plan was to take the boys to the mall, which is super kid friendly. We ended up showing up a little late to the mall and only had a little over an hour to Trick-or-Treat but we had so much fun. By the end of Trick-or-Treating Aaron and I was exhausted and we decided to visit his parents the next day. So Gunner had 2 Halloweens and he loved it! This year Aaron and I didn’t dress up which I regret however just wait until next year. We will be the cutest (hint: green) family ever!

On Wednesday October 19th Mr. BB Gun had his 2 month shots appointment. To start off i am scared to death of needles. I have been working on my phobia, since pregnancy does not care, but I’m not quite there yet. So going into Mr. Gunner’s appointment i was nervous and i knew i needed to put my phobia aside to be strong for my baby. Thank God Aaron was able to go with me for some support. I do have to give a lot of credit to Aaron for being such an involved daddy. Thankfully Aaron is a boss at his job so for the most part he is able to make his own schedule. He has been by my side through all the major appointments for baby and I and some. Gunner and I really appreciate Aaron and all that he does for us. As of the appointment, i am so proud of my little tough guy. Gunner was super strong and only got upset when the fluid was injected ( the 3 shots ) then when Aaron picked him up he was totally fine.  I know there will be many more shot appointments to come but i am glad the first is behind us and we all survived. :)

After the Gunner’s appointment we stopped at my grandparent’s house to introduce Gunner to my Grandpa for the first time. My grandma had already met him a few times but unfortunately my grandpa hasn’t been doing well and doesn’t make it out of the house much. The second my grandpa saw gunner his face lit up and I knew I made his day. I’m glad I have my grandparents in my life again because the family feud was not worth it and went on way to long. Now that I have a family, I know how much family really means to me. I love my family so much and I’m so blessed for them.     –God is so good    

*Gunner is 8 weeks old here

October 15th 2011: Took the boys to the pumpkin blowout to pick out their first pumpkins. Gunner and Braiden had a fun time and really enjoyed the cows at the farm. Well Braiden liked the cows while Gunner took one look at them, smiled, and  then stared crying.:)         -Gunner at 8 weeks old.
