Down to the last month!!!!!

Alright....so this is going to be the last pic of me being pregnant...I am down to my last month!!!! And I can not wait until the day is here to have this baby girl..I am all set and ready for her to come and anxiously waiting for it...I am slowing do in speed because of all the fun pain that comes with the last month and getting quite tired.....I am really wishing to have here Easter weekend but knowing my luck it will keep on going right past...but I kinda need her to come soon...Jesse is going to be doing a down here this month starting the third week in April and so I would like him to be available so we are both wishing for Easter weekend. The girls and Logan are getting so excited for her to come...mercedi' is like yeah it's April well speaking of as tomorrow and she knows that Melanie will be coming this month and she can't wait to see her as well as the other kids. So thanks for all your fun comments on this whole pregnancy and helping me to keep my hopes up and just have fun...I will be for sure to add the pics of the little bundle of joy when she arrives...So you all should be wishing on a star that she will come early for me. So until then take care.

I'm a big boy now !!!!!!

So This is logan and he is 2 1/2 and he just decided one day to start going poop in the potty in stead of his diaper and at first I was like no were not going to do this yet because I don't want to have a set back when the new baby comes...but he has be persistent on this and so we went a head and just started practicing with him using pull ups and then he was doing really good so we went and bought some underwear for him and he picked them out and he loves to wear them!!!!!!



So here he is in both picture showing them off....as you can tell he is very excited about them....he chose spider man and transformers....and they glow in the dark at night so he couldn't be more happy.......Sometimes he has some dribble in his underwear as he is trying to make it to the bathroom on time.



I am glad in a way that he has been so easy to potty train and is doing so well for now.....but it could change but I am hoping for the better....He is doing as well as mercedi did with the potty training so that is a relief to me....so the baby can come in April and I will only have to buy one set of diapers again....yeah for me!!!!

Rexburg Temple Day

So A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to go and visit the Rexburg temple...On this special trip.....I was able to see my little sister Annselena and her husband jose and kids get sealed together for all time and eternity...It was a beautiful session and it was like wow....How we kinda thought that this day would never come....but Jose and Annselena both worked at this for two years and accomplished it and are so very happy that they did this and made this choice in there lives. I almost wasn't able to attend....I had a dream that I went to the rexburg temple to see them and handed my temple recommend to the front desk person and he said it was expired and I couldn't attend and I was very sad..so the next day which was Thursday...I remembered my dream and thought you know I should check that out and sure enough it was expired so I called my bishop and stake president and got it arranged to meet them in there home and get a new recommend....I was so very thankful that they did this for me...because I was leaving the next day and needed it very quickly....It is just a neat thing how heavenly father helps prompt us of things that need to be taken care of so you can be there for others as well.




So after wards we all decided to go to big judd's to eat out and so me and my sister's and grandma all went her to eat and Jose and Ryan and there friend all chose to eat the biggest hamburger!!!!!!!!



So here are some pic of that event and to compare to the regular hamburger this is quite huge and to top it all off they finished there hamburger and some fries. Crazy huh!!!!!!!!! Any how my husband was a trooper for me....He stayed in Island park and watched the kids for me so that I could attend this special event and so that I didn't have to wake up so early to go with the pregnancy and all....So I am very appreciated of his service for me to be able to do this. Thanks honey~ And way to go to annselena and Jose for making it to the temple and sealing your family for all time and eternity!!!!!!!

8 months down

Well here I am again, I am so excited that the months are counting down, and I can say that I am due next month, that seems like a huge milestone to me,so thanks for all who are cheering me on. So for this months dialog on mothering or having babies, I thought I would quote some quotes that Elder Neal a. Maxwell has said or quoted from many books.


"We salute you, sisters, for the joy that is yours as you rejoice in a baby's first smile and as you listen with eager ear to a child's first day at school which bespeaks a special selflessness. Women, more quickly than others, will understand the possible dangers when the word self is militantly placed before other words like fulfillment. You rock a sobbing child without wondering if today's world is passing you by, because you know you hold tomorrow tightly in your arms. (Ensign, May 1978)

"The devoted wife and mother who is a quiet but effective neighbor but whose obituary is noticed by a comparative few may well have laid up precious little here in the current coin~of~the~realm, recognition, yet rising with her in the resurrection will be relevant attributes and skills honed and refined in family and neighborhood life. ( Grounded, Rooted,Established, and settled,")

"God trusts women so much that he lets them bear and care for His spirit Children." Ensign, May 1978)


These are some of the quotes that I found some great incite to and thought wow, I hope that I am just as wonderful as those mothers are that he is talking about. I find great peace in being a mother even though it has it's challenging days, I would never give it up for a second. I am very grateful to be a mother and look forward to the many days ahead of being called mom.
