Lovin' Life!

I just had an awesome visit with my sister, Andrea!!! It left me feeling way more positive and up beat than I have been feeling for a while. I feel more confident in my mothering skills. Reflecting on it, I'm doing a pretty good job with my boy, I mean I play with him and read to him and say prayers with him. I try to feed him good food, and I sing to him and tell him I love him, so just cause I have some weaknesses doesn't mean I'm not a good mommy! As long as I try my hardest, right? I've also been feeling really stupid because I'm not in school right now and sometimes didn't do so great when I was in school, but, just because I'm not continuing my education right now, doesn't mean I can't do it at some point! It's never too late! I'm thinking about going to the skin institute down here, it's expensive, but when I help people like that I feel really good about myself! Like, I gave my mom a pedicure and waxed her eyebrows when I was up there, and I loved doing it!
I love feeling hopeful. Besides being inspired by eachother we had a way fun time this weekend! We laughed so much, and I felt like my old self! We watched New Moon and mostly made fun of it- we gave the characters weird voices and made up our own dialogue (Bella was a valley girl, Edward was a creepy old british man, and Jacob was a surfer) it was really late at night, so it seemed really REALLY funny to us! Good times! We also got some really funny pics (mostly on her camera- boo!) One of them is of K.J. looking like he was doing the sprinkler dance, it's hilarious!
So, in conclusion I'm really happy right now! Hooray!
Side note: I love Krista and Phil!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am so freakin happy for you guys!

Kurtis!


I'm so excited today, because I'm an aunty again! I'm happy K.J. will have a little boy cousin so close to his age to play with, a little over a year apart! I think K.J. knew what was going on the whole time last night, because he was up like EVERY hour (he's probably cutting more teeth) I like to believe that he remembers Kurtis very well, and his spirit knew he was coming! Maybe that's bull crap, I don't know, but with babies, I don't think heaven is ever far, I think the veil is thin for them. This morning when I showed K.J. pictures of the baby, he didn't seem to show any signs of recognizing him or anything, I tried to teach him to say "baby" all he said was "doh!" I'm very excited for him to meet his cousin in real life! I am also very proud of my sister in law, Kadie, I know she did a great job, labor is very hard and scary! And word to my brother! He did not throw up or pass out, or do like we predicted and throw up, then pass out and choke, then wake up and have a seizure and choke some more. Good Job, Zack and Kadie, and Welcome, Baby Kurtis!
