Why I Smile....

So I don't think my family realizes how much I really love these 18 faces. They are the reason I have hope, and the reason I know there is still SOOO much to be grateful for. So here is a little something that I will never forget about these kids...


The Newtons
Linden: Where do I start, she is pretty much the little sister I never had. She and I have been connected at the hip for as long as I can remember, since I was 9 when she was born! Nintendo, movies, HARRY POTTER, and so much more I have in common with this girl. I LOVE YOU!

Camryn: This girl has spunk and I love it! She always gives me a hug without fail every time I see her. Every Hammer on I always carry this girl out to her car when its time to go, this has been going on FOREVER and I love it.

Brandon: Every time I am with Brandon the one thing I notice most is how much I LOVE his voice, he has this little voice that melts my heart. Its not even something I can explain, I will just never forget his voice.

Braden: I love when this guy sits by me, he always cuddles up next to me and wraps his arms around mine. He is such a cute little kid and I love him to death!

Ryan: Wow this baby is gorgeous, and she has this amazingly cute thing she does with her nose when she would start laughing (I will post a picture of it soon) it scrunches up and makes me laugh so hard, I love this baby girl!


The Brains

Emma: Growing up too fast, need I say more? Emma has a way of making me smile every time she hugs me. She makes me never want to let go! She is a sweet loving hearted girl that is so talented.

Jake: When I get the chance to talk to this kid I love LOVE it. He can talk to me for hours and I love every second of it. And he is the most creative minded person I know! He can build, create, and make something out of absolutely nothing. It amazes me, I wish I had a mind like that.

Zach: Warm hearted, always wanting to make EVERYONE feel better and loved. He has a way to make anyone smile, no matter what your mood. He has more energy than he knows how to use!

Catherine: She has her own little defiant personality. She is a princess at heart and always will be!! I will never forget her sweet little voice every Sunday when she comes up to me and says, "Codye I want to borrow one of your movies, can I go in your room and get one?"

The Halls

Josh: First of all I love babysitting this kid. He is so crazy and so fun, I love it! We play Lego Star Wars when I am there and he is really good, I have to follow him and have him tell me what to do!

Lauryn: Aside from us looking like road kill in the middle of the intersection after Princesses on Ice I have so many memories with this girl. One of them was one night when I was over they were going to bed and she kept asking me to be the "monster" like dad does and it was the funnest time chasing them around the house, they laughed and screamed and I loved it!

Clara: Little Clara Bean aka "La La" is such a cute little girl! I love that she carrys the Ariel figurine around I gave them from Disneyland, it is soo cute to know how much she loves Ariel. She has the CUTEST laugh in the world I must say

Ethan: Okay this little guy is the most level tempered laid back baby I know. He rarely cries when I am around him and he has these super cute chubby cheeks that you just want to grab! The biggest smile I have seen and a laugh that will melt your heart.

The SL Hammers

Brandt: This kid is so smart, too smart for his own good. He loves Berks and that in my book is very big! He and I played with Berks at the park, with the rest of the clan, tossing the ball for Berk and Brandt was pretty darn good at it! Berkeley loved it and so did I! So fun to play with him!

Hadlee: First off her hair.. OH MY GOSH it is so pretty, I didnt think I could be jealous of a 3 year olds hair but she has perfect hair! Hadlee is another one of those voices I will never forget, she is such a talker and I could just sit and listen to her for hours!

Elsie: This little monkey is so cute, her smile lights up a room. When she was sick a while ago I got to babysit her and she finally snuggled with me. She layed on my chest and stayed so close for almost an hour and if any of you know her you will know she does NOT sit still, I loved that night, even though she was sick, it was amazing having her lay there.

The Layton Hammers

Ayden: I absolutely love dancing around with this little guy. He is such a genuinly good person! Whenever I am around him he wants me to come and see anything he can show me. He is always grabbing my hand saying come here I want to show you something.. So cute, I can't help but smile when I see him

Sophie: This little peanut has her own little way of doing things, usually gives her mom a run for her money. She has a cute little style of dancing and twirling that makes you just smile and love her to death! Ring around the rosies with this little one is one of my favorite memories!

So there you have it, sorry its so long! I just had to post about these kids and what they mean to me!!
