Mother

Today I was sitting there thinking.....I am almost a mother. What does that mean to me? It means a lot. When I think of a mother I think of wiping tears away, changing diapers, rocking baby to sleep, singing lullabys, sharing everything, tickling toes, reading the same book over and over again, playing peek a boo, chasing naked bums around the house, and so much more. All of these things are important. Over all though I hope I can be a loving, sharing, caring, good mother. I hope I can love him and give him everything he needs. Teach him to love the Lord and be a good person. I already love this little boy so much. Jesse and I are very excited for this little spirit to enter into our lives. We feel so blessed that the Lord trusts us with this little spirit. I pray we can raise him the way the Lord needs us to.
This precious baby has already taught me so much just being inside of me. Whenever I feel a little kick I remember what is important in life. It isn't about how pretty your hair is, how big your house is or how much money you make. It's so much more and this little boy reminds me of that. Jesse has taught me so much too, he is such a wonderful man. He has taught me to not stress the small stuff, learn to laugh at yourself, don't take everything so serious, never raise your voice, do your best always and just enjoy life :) I love this man. I'm so grateful he picked me to his wife.

I love Jesse

Summer Sun

The Fourth of July was a lot of fun. We went to Laura's house on the 3rd and had a little camp out in the backyard. Steve set up the tv outside and all the kids huddled around to watch a movie while others were inside coloring a huge pioneer poster that Laura bought. I will admit the poster was my favorite part. When Kayla colored a boy with a green face I quickly said, "she ruined our masterpiece!" Someone said that pioneers got sick all the time though and this kid was definitively sick. Ha ha we all laughed. The poster looked great!
Jesse and I even set up our little tent and slept outside. It was fun to sleep outside and hard at the same time, being 8 months pregnant. I woke up about ten times, but it was worth it. In the morning Laura had a yummy breakfast. Including; pancakes, bacon, fruit, egg mcmuffins and eggs. Jesse I think had ten pancakes :) His favorite.
On the fourth Jesse and I went with Chuck, Jacob, Melanie, Jake and Ethan to a little lake in Honeyville. They all skiied as I watched, they all did great! We liked the paddle boat and the ramp. The ramp was fun to slide down on. We did that over and over again. Fun fun day at the lake! When we got back Lori had made a delicious meal. We ate under the fireworks, which was so cool! Then to top off the night Jacob did a great firework show for us out front. Fun day!

I also went to Lagoon this past week. It was fun to watch the kids on the rides. Jade was funny. She hated the rides and would cry on them, then she would want to go again! Ha! I got to ride the merry go round. Whooo hoo. Ha. It was fun.

Also
...... Big news! Jesse and I bought a home! :) We love it so far.

One more pic....me at 36 weeks! We get to meet him soon!

The PJ party

One night in December Amy and I were hanging out and we got a text saying there was a PJ Christmas party at a house nearby. Amy and I decided to go and see if it was any fun. We didn't have time to get into pjs, but we decided to go anyways. When we got inside, we started dancing and having a good time.

Then Amy and I met one of Jesse's friends, he said it would be fun to go dancing sometime with Amy and I. He told me that I should go and convince his friend, Jesse, to come along. So he pointed to a tall, handsome, dark haired man in a blue robe. That is Jesse he said. So I headed over his way. Yes I was the one to go up to him. :) I tapped his shoulder and said, "hey I just met your friend, we should go dancing sometime!" (I know, I know, WAY forward of me! hahaha! ) He said "Sure, I'm part cowboy." I said oh really? ha! Than he went on to tell me that he had ridden a bull about a week ago. He pulled out his phone and showed me a video of him on a huge bull! I was very impressed! Than somehow or another the conversation ended and I didn't talk to him the rest of the night. I honestly thought I'd never see Jesse again. I am so grateful that I did see him again! One thing I remember from that night though is something that Jesse's friend said. We were talking and he pointed to Jesse and said, " It doesn't get better than Jesse, there is no one better." I thought to myself wow he must really be an amazing guy....... well he is amazing and his friend was right. It doesn't get better than Jesse.

Anyways......the story goes on that Jesse asked his friend for my number and Jesse called and asked me out. :) I'm so grateful for him and I love him so much!
