"Look up, it helps"

It's a new year! Crazy how fast 2013 went by for me. I feel like now that I have a child time goes by 10 times faster. I think because in a small little way you wish that your precious little baby would stay little forever. Forever little, forever in your arms and forever right by your side. 2013 was a good year. I have really enjoyed watching Dawson grow and learn. He is a happy boy that has changed my life forever in a good way. I love him so much. I have also loved watching Jesse be a Dad. It's amazing how much he loves his boy. The other day I went dress shopping with Karen and Jesse had to watch Dawson all day. I asked what they did all day. Jesse said he painted some of the upstairs and I asked him what he did with Dawson and he said that he would hide crackers in Dawson's room and Dawson would go and find them. He loved it! He said he would have 10 crackers in his mouth at once! That just shows that Jesse is a very creative Dad. He is always making me laugh. I also came home that night to a fort built in the family room. These boys had fun while I was gone! The fort had tunnels and a huge blanket. Jesse is such a good Dad.
While my sisters, Mom and I were dress shopping Mel said something that I loved. It is our new quotie! We have an inside joke thing and anyways.....I started to cry and she said, "look up, it helps." Isn't that sooo true!? When we have hard times we need to remember to look up. Our Savior can help us with anything and everything. He is always "UP" there. Although 2013 was wonderful, we are always going to have hard times as well. We are here to learn and grow and go through trials. I hope that this year I remember to always "look up", during the hard and good times.
On New Years Jesse, Dawson and I went sledding by our house. It was so much fun. It is my new favorite family activity. Dawson absolutely loves it! We went down the hill probably 20 times! I feel so blessed. I hope 2014 will be even better! :)

Dawson with a sucker. He was being funny

After this it was bath time....sticky mess! :)

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!
