Truly Blessed

Josh and Taytum after church



I am so truly blessed to have such a wonderful family. After I had such a hard day yesterday with a very cranky baby and a trip to walmart. I realize this morning that I am truly blessed. Blessed with a husband who does his very best to be understanding and helpful when I am in such a bad mood.Blessed that he leads our family with the priesthood. Blessed that he loves me unconditionally for who I am and lets me know that he loves me everyday. I hope that he knows how grateful I am for him and all he does for me and for Taytum. Blessed with the wonderful opportunity to be a mother, and blessed with the best little girl that Heavenly Father could have sent me. Blessed that Josh is so dedicated to his education and to his future as a chiropractor. Grateful for how the knowledge he obtains at school has helped our family become better (even though I don't always take my fish oils). Grateful for student loans, I know that is weird to be grateful for but without them I would not be able to stay home with Taytum. I am blessed to come from such a wonderful family. I have the best parents in the world and realized this week how much I take them for granted. I am blessed to have the gospel in my life and for the testimony I have of its truth. I am blessed to know that I am a daughter of my Heavenly Father, this truth has made such a difference in my life and I hope that I can teach my daughter just how much her Heavenly Father loves her too. I guess that the hymn is true when it says 'count your many blessings name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done'.

Sleeping Beauty

So I realized that this will probably end up biting me in the butt in a few months but Taytum loves to sleep on our bed. In the morning when I am done feeding her I just lay her in bed next to me instead of getting up to put her in her bassinet. She sleeps so much better on my bed. I am guilty of even letting her sleep there through out the day instead of in her crib where she should be. It is just so nice to be able to see her when I am working on the computer or getting dressed. She sleeps great in her crib but I love laying her in my bed with me because I don't have to worry about waking her up in transition. I took these pictures to scrapbook and because she looked so dang cute, this tiny little baby girl in this big queen size bed with lots of blankets. She is just so dang cute!



Out like a light.

Serious Smiles ; )

Josh was playing with Taytum this morning and she was so excited that he was home early from school. She just smiled and smiled and smiled at him. I think she really likes her daddy.



I bought a bow from kid to kid and was so excited when it stayed in her hair. It was so cute even Josh thought she looked adorable in it (He is not a fan of bows)
