One month old

I cant believe I have been a mom of 2 for a month now, wow it has flown bye. Sadie has been like Ethan pretty calm and just so sweet, but she is finding her lungs it seems she doesn't have a fancy for her car-seat. Ethan loved being in it, but with Ethan I was working and so he was in it a lot more then Sadie, who I do tend to hold all day. She is growing fast. I think she may be the size Ethan was when he was born, which was 8'3 so it has been so nice to have a little girl, who is very girlie hence the bow in every picture! She is my little princess and I am loving every minute of it! She went to her first girlfriends party last night and she had a blast sleeping and getting rockabyed by Emily!

Girlfriend Party

Tonight I went to a girlfriend party and it was soooo fun! This is what I took to it, they turned out okay, but I think more fun for Ethan then for a girlfriend party. Everyone else's were so pretty! This is what I got, it is extremely cute candy cane serving plate with the best rice crispy's I have ever had, I stole one from the top. I will be adding some more pictures of the night when I get some, but it was soooo much fun! We got there played a game, had appatizers, dinner, did the dessert exchange, and then did our supper sweet craft! Emily is the same friend that I made the Halloween picture frame with, which was another party that I just loved! Okay, so here is what I made... these way cute ornaments, they were so fun to do. I will definitely have pictures of everything, the dinner, and everything was so nice very pretty. It really just made me feel so special, every mom needs to feel that way at least once during the holidays. After the craft we had a desert which just melted in my mouth, it was this moose chocolate thing..ummmm!
It worked out so well because Erik is in his last 2 days of finals so he has been at school studying like crazy the last few weeks, so it was really nice to get out and have a great girlfriend party!! You know that you have been to an amazing party when you come home and tell your husband all about it and then jump on your blog. Also you know that your having a good party when your there until almost midnight! Well I am up again until 2 so I better go to bed.

Mothers

Mother, who willingly made that personal journey into the valley of the shadow of death to give us birth, deserves our undying gratitude. One writer summed up our love for mother when he declared, 'God could not be everywhere, and so He gave us mothers.

"While on the cruel cross of Calvary, suffering intense pain and anguish, Jesus 'saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother!' (John 19:26-27.) What a divine example of gratitude and love!"

I LOVE YOU MOM!

LOST DOG!!

So we lost our dog!!! We dont know what happend to her if she got stolen, hit, or is just lost. It has been 6 days now so it has been sad around here. We were talking about selling her because we dont show her the love that we use to and I don't want her inside with the babe, but having her gone is sad because we didnt say good bye or anything!! :(

Party Party!

I am going to a Friends Party where we bring a dessert on a cute tray, with help from a very creative Rachel, I have come up with this! So I am going to test them out tomorrow because I thought it would be fun for Kylie the girl I babysit to have fun with, and give me a chance to test them out!! So stay tuned to see how it goes!

Sadie's Special Day

Sunday was Sadie's Blessing day. It was great, I love to hear the blessing of our kids, Erik always says some very special things! She looked like a princess, the neat thing was that she was wearing my blessing dress, so it made it very special!

These, Our Little Ones

E. T. Sullivan once wrote these interesting words: “When God wants a great work done in the world or a great wrong righted, he goes about it in a very unusual way. He doesn’t stir up his earthquakes or send forth his thunderbolts. Instead, he has a helpless baby born, perhaps in a simple home and of some obscure mother. And then God puts the idea into the mother’s heart, and she puts it into the baby’s mind. And then God waits. The greatest forces in the world are not the earthquakes and the thunderbolts. The greatest forces in the world are babies.”

And those babies, I should like to add, will become forces for good or ill, depending in large measure on how they are reared. The Lord, without equivocation, has declared, “I have commanded you to bring up your children in light and truth” (D&C 93:40). By President Gordon B. Hinckley

Let it snow, let it snow!!

Crazy! That means no driving for us, because the word here is people drive crazy because they don't know how to drive in the snow!! So good Erik cant go to school today... Thats sad, I am happy its snowing just because it means we all stay home!!!

T*H*A*N*K * Y*O*U !!!!

Since I have moved here in Aug there have been a few people that have really made me feel welcome. I have been invited to a Halloween Party and a few other get-together s by one friend and my other friend has been soooo nice in helping with things that I need like a baby shower and coming to the hospital to see Sadie, and now this look at all these cloths she knew that I didn't have anything and so here she comes with all this after she has gotten me two other gifts! Thank You Sarah, and thank you Emily you guys have made me feel like I have friends here!

Ethan's Birthday Party

Ethan and Kylie had fun making the deco for the party, so we have airplanes and choo-choo's flying around!! I had fun making a choo-choo train cake, it was tricky but I think I pulled it off! He loved all his presents, when they are cars and trains who wouldn't! I wanted to invite all Ethans friends from church but I didn't want Sadie around a lot of people so Ethan just had Kylie over, the girl I baby-sit. But it was a fun family party anyways!!
