I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow
The sight is so spectacular, please wip away that tear;
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here
I have no words to tell you the joy their voices bring
For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart
But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart
I cannot tell you of the splendor or the peace inside this place
Can you imagine Christmas with our Savior, face to face
Have a Merry Christmas Mommy and wipe away that tear
Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year
Love,
Angel Kaiya Faith
Roman- There's a guardian angel who watches you from above, who sees eternal glory reflected from God's face, and sends into your little heart a beam of love and grace.
I took this on my Broken Bow trip in the summer. I was on the lake and my friends were talking about Kaiya and asking what a Kaiya Sky was. As I was explaining we looked up and saw this heart!
Let me just say, I cannot BELIEVE how big Roman is and how fast this is going by!!! The first picture you'll see were a mere 3-4 months ago and by the end you won't believe the "little boy" he has become! He is walking and talking like crazy and repeats any word I say. His vocabulary is 20+ words! He has 6 teeth :) He is the funnest, funniest, sweetest little boy ever!
These next series of pictures we took at his 1st trip to Olive Garden where he also had his first taste of bread! Can't beat Olive Garden breadsticks! He was in a different world zoned out while eating them :)
My little lifeguard
My mom got him this football hat
This was taken on Kaiya's Angelversary and my friend Nicole has an app and did this to it and sent it to me!
Sweet cousins waiting for Grady (Haley's C section was the following morning)
My family can appreciate these next pics. This was my shirt when I was a baby!
1st Carasail ride with Daddy!
Boppy and Roman
He even is cute when he blinks at the flash!
His birthday balloon from Papa and Nana!
This was taken right before his 1st ever Carasail ride started
These next series were from our Florida trip taken with my phone that I haven't posted yet.
Do you see a resemblence? Me at two years old and Roman 1 year
I love this picture of Roman and Dustin. Roman already loves the Razorbacks and even does the "Hog Call!"
My nieces Payton and Emerson watched him one day. On Dustin's side of the family its four neices and he is the only boy!
Sweet Nana and Roman
He was doing this at the other team the Cowboys were playing that day! ;)
Roman still always has to have his drumstick! Its his security blanket :) We really think he will be a drummer!
I took these of them napping! Like Father Like Son!
I love this look he does!
Ok, Ok, Ok, these next pictures we were going to Roman's friend Haydens' western birthday party. Dustin hates these wrangler diaper covers but I figured this is probably the only year I can get away with doing this! Isn't he so cute?!
I love love love these next pictures! He's such a pimp baby :)He's saying "What's up girls!?"
He loves to brush his own teeth!
Beautiful baby boy on his way to his 1st airplane ride!
We were at Bone Daddy's and Roman loved our waitress! She asked if she could hold him and look what he did!
1 Year!!
Aaron and Nicole took this of him when they baby sat him for the 1st time!
I bundled him up this morning to go get starbucks. I think he's saying "Starbucks again mommy?"
This was Roman at 4 months with Panda and wearing the exact same pants! (They were just really big on him at 4 months)
A baby holds in its tiny hand a message from above, God's promise for a better world, a world of hope and love.
He loves his glow worm. Didn't you love yours?!
This is my favorite expression of his!
I love this picture :)
I took this of Boppy and Roman in the hammock together. So sweet!
I love his little backside!
Uncle Aaron!
"Super Roman" and Boppy in my late Papa's lawn. The same lawn my dad grew up in and now holding hands with his grandson in it. So special!
Here is is saying "Keep looking up, that's where it all is!"
About a month ago I was singing at church and Dustin was home getting Roman ready to come to church. He sat him in his highchair and forgot to make sure it was locked. He turned his back to throw something away and heard a bang on the floor. His heart dropped and he turned around and Roman had fallen face first onto the kitchen floor from his highchair. He called 911 and when the paramedics got there they said they thought he was ok, but we may want to take him to the hospital for a cat scan to make sure there was no internal bleeding of concussion. Dustin called me and I said Yes take him to cooks! Thank God the catscan was clear. He still even has a little dent in his head where he hit it and I hope it goes away.
This picture was taken at Cooks. He's such a trooper!
Poor baby with big ole' knot!
Sweet Grady! I get to watch him twice a week in December and am LOVING it!
Here he has a look like "I know I'm cute!"
Cheese!
My lil' Stud
My worn out baby
This shows you how long he is now!!! Makes me so sad :(
"I got the keys mom!"
Halloween
This Halloween was so much fun! My mom and dad decorated their trailor and hooked it up to their truck and we went trickor treating in it! Roman was a "Baby Ducky"!
This was the 1st house we went to and he was scared of this witch!
Walking to his 1st trick or treat house!

Pre Christmas
This Christmas we made a "Kaiya Tree" and put all of her ornaments, or ornaments family and friends have given us in her honor on it. The majority of them are Angel trees. Here is Roman hanging his 1st ornament on his twin sisters tree ;)
Roman and Daddy by our big tree! All smiles!
He says "Balls" anytime he sees one!
Baby Santa, Grady
Already playing with tissue paper at my cousin Amber's Christmas party
He loves "blhhhhh" and spitting every where. Check out his right dimple!
Grammy and Elijah

My sisters and I took our kids to get pictures with Santa early this year. They got to bake cookies with him! They were taken at Southern Flair in Arlington on Park Row. They did an awesome job and had an awesome Santa!
"I want more drumsticks for Christmas Santa!"
Roman and Grady
Elijah telling Santa what Aydia wants because she is too shy :)
The babies weren't a fan here!
Landon Day with Day Dream Photography goes to my church and takes awesome sunset pictures. He took some pictures of Roman too since we hadn't got any done since he had turned 1 year. I have always wanted an awesome picture of the sunset with the 3 of us in it, so it would be a true Family portrait, because Kaiya would be with us. I coulndn't have asked for a better Kaiya Sky that night, or a better picture! Breathtaking! I ordered a 20by30 and am going to hang it above my fireplace as our family portrait!
Me and my miracle
Our miracle
I can get lost in his eyes looking at this picture.
Leslie Salas took this. She called and said she was on her way to work and saw the beautiful sky and thought of Kaiya. She stopped her car and got out on the side of the road and took this picture. When she got back to her office and looked at the picture she couldn't believe what showed up in them! She immediatly called me to tell me to check the picture out. I know God place Kaiya on her heart that day, so she could in turn give me a bit of piece.
Sleep in Heavenly Peace Kaiya Faith, Sleep in Heavenly Peace!
Your son is beautiful and such a joy to be around. Your daughter means so much to us and is so special. Your an amazing Mommy. Dustin and you are a great team. I love our Family, the nieces and nephews are so lucky to have each other. 2011 Has been a great year full of memories.
