10lbs


We just went in and weighed the man cub today and he now weighs 10lbs. I can't belive it. He was so small when he started and now he is just getting to big. I have the picture of the creases in his little leg, and it is just getting bigger. I just love his little self. I
also have a picture with him in his favorite basketball players jersey, and his favorite athletic wear. Man he is a cutie.

It's almost the weekend right??

You know how those weekends just slip by a little to quickly? This was certainly one of those kind. I felt like a got a bit done however and that made me feel pretty good. Richard and I were able to go to the temple on Saturday, what a nice place to be. I really just enjoyed the peace of the place. I need to go again. I got a lot of laundry done and even made myself a chore chart that hopefully will be helpful to me. I also got some EXCELLENT fabric to make me some slings for my man cub. You know how sometimes you just want to snuggle, but need to get things done? I have, hopefully, the answer: SLINGS!! Here is hoping that they work. I am so glad that it is a three day weekend coming up too, man what a relief. Hopefully we can get more stuff done. My goal is getting the tree trimmed, start on AIR CONDITIONING and work on the yard, maybe sprinklers or rototilling. Something, anything to feel like we are making progress to moving on to something a little bigger and hopefully better.
I love being a Mom. That little man cub is just so cute. He was so chatty and smily on Saturday. Oh my he is handsome and fun and mostly a wonderful baby. I just LOVE him. I hope that he just loves us back.

Saturday is a special day...

So Saturday was just excellent. Seth gets up around 4:30 am and I bring him into our room and he will usually sleep until 6:00. So instead of going back to bed, since that doesn’t happen ever during the week, we got up and went for a walk. This was Seth’s first “official” walk, in his SWEET stroller that Richard let me have. We took the baby and the dogs and walked for about 30 mins. It was so nice. It wasn’t that cold and we got some exercise which I love to do.

Then we went to my parents to go to free dump day, the highlight of our Saturday. Then the boys went to lunch and Mom and I went to Granny’s to help her with her branches. Her responsibility was to watch the Seth man, and we were trying to get a smile from him, but got a big lip instead.

My first “official” Mother’s Day (I guess the dogs don’t count) was yesterday and I was totally spoiled. Richard got me a sweet laptop, so that I don’t have to share with him. I got a card from both him and Seth and Richard cooked breakfast. Church was good, and we mostly chilled yesterday, which was nice. But it is back to the grind today.
I couldn't resist this hair. I LOVE IT!!!

one little crease

I am so proud of my little man. When we went to the dr. last week for his 2 month appt. and he hadn't gained any weight. So we had to calorie pack the kid and he has gained 12 oz. my little man now has a crease in his leg. I should take a picture because it is so cute. I love him!!

Hmm, today has been great so far. I went to Pilates. I LOVE pilates. I know that I am going to probably be sore tomorrow, but man is it worth it. Richard is working on the roof today. It gets pretty windy here and some of our shingles blow off every year. This last winter has been no exception, so today I think that will be fixed. He is also going to load up our old fence posts so that next week we can take them up to the dump for free dump day. I LOVE free dump day. Seth and I are just chillin in the house. I need to vaccuum and such, and he is just swinging away, happy as a pig in slop. I am so glad it is saturday. I wish it was going to be saturday a few days in a row. Man that would be great. But alas, it is not that way. Looking forward to the day that I can stay home and play all day. Not today but soon, I hope.

I thought that maybe I should have another pic or two. I can't believe it has been 2 months since that marvelous night when our little man arrived.


Blogging away


Well another week is come and almost gone. Another month is here another fallen away. I just can’t believe that it is May. Time is just marching forward. This blog is all about thankfulness. I think I can profess my religious views in my blog, so here I go. I am so grateful to my Father in Heaven who so richly blesses my life. I have a wonderful husband who works so very hard to provide for our little family and wants so much for us and truly works to get us closer to those desires, he is my true love. I am so very grateful for my wonderful son. He is one of the most miraculous things I have ever done. I love him. I am thankful for modern medicine and a physician that cares and wants everything to be okay for us. I love him too :). I can’t really express how much my faith means to me. I am grateful for my faith and the strength that I receive from it. I know that God lives and he knows and loves me. I know Christ is my Savior and Redeemer, without him, I would get nowhere. I am just really thankful for all that I have and know that none of it is possible without my wonderful husband and our faith in Christ and God.
