Updates

So, because the camera is broken I have not wanted to post...lame, I know. Life is good here. We are enjoying the spring weather. Little Dude is enjoying his new tricycle and I am looking into buying him a play house. Rob is working hard still and we are getting ready to go to St. George next weekend with Katie and Adam. Yay! That should be loads of fun! So, nothing super exciting, but no complaints and we are definitely on the countdown to baby girl Emma Grace! 8ish weeks to go!

Its my Party and I'll cry if I want to...

My 26th birthday rolled around on Easter this year. I love birthdays and holidays. This one however I would like to just forget..we were all sick...I mean sick sick with something called Herpangina...it is a throat illness that causes you to get cold sores all up and down your throat...let me say that it was the worst pain I have EVER experienced...I would gladly have a c-section without anesthesia than have this virus again... I am not kidding. Let me know if you've ever had it...you will most definitely agree with me. Not the happiest of blogs but I will post later on when we are healthy again. I have really fun stuff from our trip back to the homeland.

A sweet and cute video!

IT'S A GIRL!!!

Yay! We went this morning and we have a girl! And the best part is that she is a normal size, unlike her big brother that was 6 weeks ahead of schedule the whole time in size!!! So, now we have to narrow down names...we are thinking Emma Grace or Chloe (no middle name yet). So we will see how it goes!

I am working on doing less...

Here is a quote I have grown to love. I am on a quest to simplify my life and I want to start now. I want to enjoy/experience the spiritual benefits of a simplified lifestyle. Enjoy....

Mothers Who Know Do Less

Mothers who know do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world’s goods in order to spend more time with their children—more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all. Their goal is to prepare a rising generation of children who will take the gospel of Jesus Christ into the entire world. Their goal is to prepare future fathers and mothers who will be builders of the Lord’s kingdom for the next 50 years. That is influence; that is power.
