Melt My Heart

Yesterday I was rocking my little guy trying to get him to sleep for a nap, when he looked up at my face, touched my cheek and said "Mama...Pretty Mama". I don't think I will ever forget that moment. I love my baby.

The Subway

Lunch time, not a bad spot!

Can you guess why it's called the subway?

Last weekend we took a trip to St. George with some of our friends. The main focus of our trip was to hike the Subway... a nine mile hike down a beautiful canyon. The trip was a blast, but the hike I have mixed feelings about. It was so fun at times, and so scary at others. We were hiking through FREEZING cold water almost all day, and at times had to get all the way in!!! Thank goodness for wetsuites! Besides the fact that the runoff water was so high the park workers highly recommended we don't go, and besides the fact my dad almost got stuck in a crack there would be no getting out of (thank goodness he lost 50 pounds!), and besides the fact it started raining in a canyon well known for flash floods, and besides the water was so cold my feet were aching! and besides the fact that it was the hardest hike I have ever done! It really was so much fun, and I am glad I was able to experience it. But I will never go again :)

mothers day

I have never appreciated mothers day as much as I should have until I became one. It is such a neat day, not because my husband spoils me (I love that too), but because it made me realize how blessed I am to be able to be a mom. And not just be any mom, but a mom to my little Carter. I can't even describe how lucky I am to have the little family that I do. I love waking up each morning because I love what I get to do, and who I get to do it with. It is the greatest thing I can possibly imagine to be so needed, loved and depended upon by my little boy. I have never been as happy as being a wife and a mom has made me, and I am so very grateful for that blessing in my life. Thanks Reg and Carter for making my mothers day so very special!

newest hobby

I have discovered a fun and exciting new hobby! Zumba, or as Regan calls it, zoobo, zumababo, etc. I can't get enough of it! I look ridiculous doing it, but it is a blast. I spent so many years learning in dance how to hold it all together, and now I'm learning how to let all go and shake it! You have to try it, but I must warn you, it is addicting!
