Childrens!!

Ok... it has been a very long time since I have posted an update.  FYI - I now have another member of our family joining us named Dawson.  He is the happiest baby that I know.  Back in October, Kim (my sister-in-law) took these awesome pictures of my kids.  Kim is very talented I must say!!!  Just to give you more of an update... I am working full time now until we figure out my husbands migraines and our finances.  I love my little family and enjoy every minute that I have with them every day.  My hands are full with a 2 year old and a 10 month old but it is so worth it!!  We are very glad for all the help we get to watch these two trouble makers while we figure things out.  I will try and post some more pictures and try to catch up on my life :)

Baby Blessing

Last Sunday was Sammie's baby blessing! There were three babies blessed that day and she was the second one blessed. Steve and I were very excited for that day but also very nervous for some reason. Steve did a very nice job. The spirit was very strong!! Steve loves his little baby girl. Yes... Sammie is a daddy's girl!! There is nothing I can do about it. I hadn't bore my testimony in a long time in Sacrament and Stephen had never heard my testimony before. Since all of the family was there and the spirit was so strong... I couldn't resist... so I went up to bear my testimony. When I got the front and sat down behind the pulpit I looked out into the congregation. There were a lot more people out there than I thought... I really wanted to chicken out at that point... but I decided to try and be brave. The day before we decided last minute to bring actual food instead of deserts for after the blessing. So, we hurried to Costco for our supplies! We thought we were going to have too much food but we had just enough. After the blessing Steve's uncle came and told us that Sammie was cooing, smiling, and looking around at everyone in the middle of the blessing :) It was a really good day!!!

Temper Tantrum

Ok... this morning I woke up to Sammie crying because she was hungry which is normal. However, when I pulled her out of the crib I decided to change her diaper first before getting her bottle ready and feeding her. She was not happy... she screamed at the top of her lungs and then all of a sudden she found herself on her belly. She was so upset that she arched her back and rolled herself over onto her stomach. WOW... when she is hungry... watch out :) Well, when she is fed, diaper changed, and content... she can pull out some cute smiles!!!

Bloggin'

I guess today I decided that I would try to start being a blogger. I never thought the day would come since my life has never been super exciting. However... we are quickly realizing that Stephen and I will never have a dull moment again since we now have our precious little girl... Sammie!! She is now one month old and today we got her pictures taken. She was so cute and I had a hard time choosing which poses I liked. She is a natural!! Tomorrow is Cameron and Carrie's wedding reception. We are very excited for them!! A couple days ago we decided that now is the time to grab a hold of the reins and get ourselves out of debt this next year. Well, Sammie is crying because she is hungry so until next time :)
