I FEEL LIKE BLOGGING

Well folks it's your lucky day because I am blogging about nothing today. I've been home alone all week and just felt like posting. I just wanted to post come random cute pictures of my baby because even though she threw up on me so bad to the point where I had to change her, and me, and wash the boppy and wash the chair today, I wouldn't change it for the world! Here is a piece of heaven for you all.



Please don't eat me...



Yikes, who is that other baby!



Daddy?



Just too tired to take a bath.



Having fun in the bumbo chair. Could she be any cuter?



Someday she will hate me for posting all these naked pictures but who doesn't love a naked baby?

WAKING UP TO BRYSTAL

Here is what I get to wake up to in the morning.

THE WAY I AM

Since it was Valentines day I was reminissing the good old days...Our very first Valentines Day together, we had been engaged for about 2 weeks. Nate and a group of his friends who all happened to be dating my friends, had all been to the same mission together. They took us to this old building that used to be a school, but was now being used as a studio in Logan. Someone apparently had the hookups. The guys got all dressed up for us, as did us girls, and they made us a German dinner. I don't remember exactly what we had, just that it was some kind of fried chicken stuff, but it was very delicious, and I was quite impressed with their cooking skills. Oh and I forgot to mention that they totally decorated this place out with twinkly lights and balloons and all. Then to top it off, the music started and we all started to slow dance. It was probably the most romantic date I have ever been on, even though I had to share it with 4 other couples. (by the way those other couples are all now happily married) Anyways, I'll never forget that day.





Thank you Nathan for always staying with me and loving me no matter what. We are perfect for eachother and I can't imagine being with anyone else. I love everyday I have with you. And so I dedicate this song to you, for loving me "The Way I am".

VALENTINES DAY 2008

I must say that this is not really a Valentines Day I will remember. I spent the day alone with Brystal and Sophie since Nate has been out of town the last few weeks. I have a terrible cold, so I just sat around and moped in a pile of wadded up tissues. Not to mention the pounds I just put on from eating a bucket full of Valentine sugar cookies that I apparently made for no one but myself. I am ashamed to even admit how many I've had. But they were just so good....

We went for a nice long walk which was the best part of my day since being outside cleared my sinuses up completely and I was able to breath comfortably for one hour of my whole day. Plus Brystal had a good time and was happy, so that makes me happy.

Later that night we just lounged around watching TV, nothing special. Did hear from Nathan till 1 in the morning because he was working late, but.....

I got these delivered to me, so I know he was thinking of me regardless our situation. I have the best husband in the world. (please pretend like the table doesn't have stuff all over it. I just haven't felt like doing housework lately ok? don't judge me.)

HELLO UTAH

It has been so long since I have posted. I had such a great time in Utah. The flight there was too bad, but it was very long. and very hard to entertain a little baby the whole time. I spent 2 weeks in Utah where Brystal got to meet the family. They loved of course, (who wouldn't) and she was pretty good most of the time. We were always going going going so she did get a little tired of doing so much after a while. It has been nice to get home and get her back into her schedule, but we miss being there already. We saw lots of friends and family, went to lunch (alot) and even went to a movie. Brystal was blessed while we were up there as well. She is growing so much. She is starting to just babble, and has started to laugh outloud now. I can't believe how big she is getting, but she is still so small. I love her guts. Oh and it would not stop snowing the whole time I was there. Oh my heck, this picture doesn't even do justice of what it really looked like there. My front yard had about 4 foot snow banks. SOOOOO much snow. And then I came back home, and today in Houston, it is about 70 degrees and sunny. I went for a walk with Brystal today and didn't even need to put a blanket on her. It was hot. I miss the snow sometimes, but it is nice to be able to go outside and enjoy the weather and walk with the stroller without getting stuck in a snow bank.

BLESSING DAY

Brystal was blessed on February 3rd 2008. We did it in Utah where we have more family available to come. Nate was able to come out that weekend while I was there and bless her. I cannot even describe how happy I am to have such a great man for my husband. He did the best job on that blessing. I've never heard a better one, and I'm not just saying that cause it's my baby. It really was a very very special blessing, and I'm so glad that Nate was able to do it.



I know that Nathan loves his baby girl. I am the luckiest girl in the world right now.

WHITE DRESS #1

What a pretty princess. Her first white dress. Stay tuned over the years for more. She was so pretty and was so good. It was such a long hard day for her and she hardly complained at all. She was so good during the blessing, and when it was done, Nate lifted her up to show her off, and she just opened her big wide eyes for everyone to see how cute she is. I could just squeeze her guts out sometimes.

ONE HAPPY FAMILY

This was a very happy day for me. I just am so overwhelmed with happiness when I think of how lucky we are to have this little baby now, (and to top it off she's cute) But it was such a special day for me, something that I had been waiting for for such a long time. It was such a good blessing, I am just so happy, that's all I can say.

THE MEN

Michael, Clayton, Nathan, John, my Dad
These are the men who were so nice to come and help bless her. We really appreciate it too since it was snowing like crazy that day and some people couldn't come.

WHO WAS ALL THERE

My Parents, Kristie and Clayton, Tyler. And Nathan's two brothers, John and his family and Michael and Cindy. Lots of yummy food, but tons of snow. Some people couldn't make it due to the snow.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING CUTER?

This is the cutest thing I've ever seen. I came home one night and my neighbor had brought by these bunny slippersand hat. I know what your thinking...The bunny suit in "A Christmas Story"
But this is about a Billion times cuter in real life than these pictures. I only wish that I would
have gotten them when I first got there to keep her warm.

JUST THE GIRLS

The day before I left we went to my cousin Skye's baby shower, (hi skye) and before the shower we stopped by Kristie's house and just got to hang out. I thought it was really fun. It was cute to see Kristie as a little housewife, as she is a newly wed. She made us some yummy chicken enchiladas and the Oreo desert which was amazing and I wish I would have eaten more, but was saving room for baby shower food. I would like the recipe for that Kristie by the way.

We are a weird family, and you can't tell this but these pictures were actually taken out of the refrigerator since that was the only thing I could fine to set up the camera on that would get us all in the picture. I love hanging out with my mom and sister. (Oh ya and Brystal, she was sleeping in the other room)
