Wonderful Man

President Gordon B. Hinckley 1910-2008

I can't begin to explain how blessed I feel to have see and heard forom our wonderful prophet. I know he is probably having a wonderful reunion with his darling wife and his family. His example while here on this earth was just amazing in everything that he did. He will be missed so much but I am lucky to say that he was the prophet when I was growing up and he is someone that will never be forgotten in my thoughts. Thank you President Hinckley for the wonderful man that you were. We love you and miss you-till we meet again!

Great Store

My mom and I went to the greatest store today. If you have kids and like educational toys this is the place to go. It is called Lakeshore Learning. My aunt and my cousin told us about it and this is the first time I have been. It is amazing and they have toys and things for all ages. I am not a teacher but if you are- you must check it out! Anyway that is my latest greatest find!

Sydney's "Fork"

On Saturday- I got out of the shower and I coun't find Ryan and Sydney until I discovered the "fork" That is what Sydney calls it. She loaded all her stuffed animals in and we had a great time playing in there! Thanks Daddy for the fun fort!
That is Buddy her stuffed dog named in honor of her cousin Cameron!

Just messing around

I was just looking on my parents computer and I found all these cute pictures that I have never even seen! So I wan just messing around and decided to post some of them for you all to see! My mom always has these pretzles that Sydney loves. She is holding one in this picture and she always loves to come play with Grandma.
Concentrating so hard on her cartoon while taking a break from her beautiful masterpiece!

Back to normal

My house and my life are finally back to normal after the holidays! Well sort of- Ryan has been installing phone lines and outlets all over the place. I have been so impressed by him and the things that he can do. With not a lot of experience in the electrical field he doesn't let it stop him one bit- he learns how and gets it done! I love you babe! Well we had a pretty quiet new years. We got together with some friends to play a great new game and then came home to put Sydney to bed and then watched a movie! Speaking of Sydney- I am not a very good journal writer but I wanted to record some of the things that she is doing right now because she truly is the light of my life!
* She is such a morning person and is always happy each morning when I go to get her out of her crib and I know it will be a good day when I see a smile on her face.*She loves to sing. We have so many songs that we sing in the car, during dinner just all the time.* She loves to watch Nemo in TV. I love to see how excited she gets over it each and every day!*She is such a little mom. She always says "Two babies mom Two babies" and she pushes them in strollers and feeds them and wants then wrapped in a blanket!-It is amazing to me to watch children grow and learn. I truly know they come from our Heavenly Father with their innocence and love for learning with everything around them. It is a miracle that I marvel at each and every day!
So enough rambling on but as I think about my little one and ones that will come to our family in the future- I am so grateful to have the opportunity to be a mom. We are about to add another neice to the family and I can't wait for her arrival. Even though I won't get to meet her for a while I just can't wait! Kids are just the best!
