Happy 50th Birthday Mama!

Oh man. If only I had the words to describe what a wonderful mother I have. 

She really is the best mom for me. I can't imagine having come to any other. 

For the last 27 3/4 years I have had the privilege to call you mother. You have dried my tears, put bandaids on my owies, brushed my hair, let me sleep with my head in your lap, taught me to do chores and the value of hard work, taught me to love and nurture those around me, taught me what it really means to be a visiting teacher and to minister to those around you. You taught me how to drive, especially to follow the speed limit. You taught me how to use my agency to make correct decisions, how to pray for the spirit to guide me and that studying the scriptures will bring me closer to my Savior. You taught me how to change a diaper and cook. But most of all you taught me the gospel. You led me to my Savior and let me find out for myself what was true. But you helped to facilitate that gospel growth. And for that I am forever grateful! 

Love you Mama! Happy Birthday!

Hello Family and Friends! If you haven't heard yet, our little baby girl Adalyn was born Tuesday, March 15th at about 2pm. She was born by emergency C-section (they knocked Nicole all the way out because there wasn't time for anything else) and was under a lot of distress. After a wonderful blessing from her Grandpa Hicken and Daddy she was life flighted to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden. She is still in the NICU there but is making great strides each and every day.  Her mommy and daddy named her Adalyn Julene Anderson-- after her great grandma Anderson (Julene). She has already blessed their lives immensely and she has benefited so much from prayers and fasts of family and friends. She has a long road ahead of her, but she is a fighter! Her grandpa Hicken calls her his little Millie- because she is a miracle baby and in Spanish, miracle is Milagro. She is a miracle and we are so happy to have her.  Love you all!

Delivery Day

Well folks- it's D-Day! After talking some more and discussing with us- our doctors (a team of OBs and Perinatologists) have decided that it is best for baby boy not to have any risks with the placenta and come today. So- He's going to be very early- they will have completed the steroids though, so that is helpful. But we all feel that this is the very best thing for HIM. I'll have a c-section- hopefully regular this time- this afternoon and we will have a baby boy by this evening. He will go straight to the NICU and we'll just see how he does to know more about how long he will be there. Again, thank you all for your comments, prayers, texts, phone calls. We appreciate all of you and your love and support for us! Love you all- remember we are in His hands. And who's better to be in.
