A day of fun in the sun!

Today Skyler had a softball tournament down in mesquite so nate and i were on our own for the day. We ended up having a lot of fun.

It all started when nate woke up and was full of smiles (sorry pic is blurry)

Then it was bath time and there were more smiles...

Then it was nap time so i could get ready for the day...

Then we went to the Pasta Factory for lunch with my girlfriends and after we got done we went to the new park on main street and played. It was so fun! We had a blast!
Nate and me playing in the water...it was a little cold so he didnt like it to much
Happy to be back in the stroller
Kiersten and Christopher playing in the water...it was so cute he loved the water!

After we got done playing at the park we were so hot and sweaty i stripped Nate down into his diaper and layed him on the couch to let him cool off. He was smiling and having a great time just relaxing.

Love this picture! Its so funny i cant help but laugh everytime i look at it!
Doing what he does best...spitting up :)
Being the cute boy he is
Then Skyler got home and they started to play together and Skyler told me to look and he was balancing Nate which made me really nervous but Nate was holding himself up really good!
Then Skyler was starving and wanted Pasta Factory, so we went there (yes i went there 2 times in one day :) I told him how we went to the park early that day and he had never been there so after dinner we went to the park and hung out (which we were also at 2 times in one day! It was such a nice night!

Happy Mother's Day!

I received this email from my mother-in-law and i love it so much! It made me cry! I just wanted to post it for all mothers and future mothers to read.

A newborn's conversation with God

A baby asked God, 'They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?' God said, 'Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.' The child further inquired, 'But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.' God said, 'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy.' Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?' God said, 'Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.' 'And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?' God said, 'Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.' 'Who will protect me?' God said, 'Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.' 'But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.' God said, 'Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.' At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, 'God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.' God said, 'You will simply call her, 'Mom.'

Happy Mother's Day!

I love being a mom so much! Nate means more to me than anything in the world! I have the greatest mom and my only wish is that i can be at least half the mom my mother was to me!

Pictures of Nate and I when he was 2 weeks.

One month old!

I was going to post this yesterday, but it was a pretty busy day for me so i didnt end up having time. Nathan turned one month old yesterday! I cant believe it! That is the fastest month i have ever had! He has grown up so much! I took some pictures of him in his cute outfit and as i look at them he looks so much older to me! People always see him and say he is so little and i just want to be like no he isnt he has grown so much and he just needs to slow down! Last night he slept for 5 hours straight and the night before he slept for 6! It was so nice!

One month old pictures

Nathan has been smiling occasionally for a little over a week now and i finally got a picture of a big smile! He is with my friend. It is kinda hard to see because he is turned a little, but you can get an idea of how cute it is :)

A couple more pictures of just nate in his blessing outfit that i didnt get a chance to post...

Just like Dad

Okay so i love my husband so much, but he does have a little farting problem...ok a big one! The funny thing is i didnt realize this until we were married because he really doesnt do it to much until he gets into bed and then they all come out...probably about 10 times throughout the night and lucky me, i always get to wake up to one. However i do have to give him some credit and say they dont smell....thank goodness! Well last night i was feeding Nate before bed and he rips a big one...i mean you could hear it on the other side of the house it was that loud! It was so funny! Then about a minute later he does the same thing! When he was done eating i laid him down between skyler and i on the bed for minute while i adjust myself because he is dead asleep. Now for about the 5th time he farts again, but this time he is out cold and he does not even flinch or wake up! All i can say is he is just like his Dad! I just want to apologize now to Nate's future wife and say i am sorry, but i am afraid there is nothing i can do to fix this problem :)

I am so blessed!

Yesterday was an amazing day for me and my family! Our son Nathan was blessed in our ward by his father. It was such a beautiful blessing! I have been so blessed to have Skyler as my husband! I am so grateful for him and all he does for our family! It is so wonderful to have him by my side every morning when i wake up! He is such a great father and i cant imagine him not being in my life! And Nathan has been one of the biggest blessings of all! He brings such joy into our home and i love to just hold him and stare into his big bright eyes! I cant look at him without smiling and i cant express how much i love him! I am also so blessed to have wonderful parents, siblings, in-laws, and friends! It was great being able to share our special day with them! We thank all of those that were able to come and missed those that couldnt be there! Here are some pictures of our eventful day...there are a ton
