1.30.10 - Saturday

Fever of 104.5 all day... called the doctor just to make sure we were doing the right things to get the fever down...so there was lots of snuggling and watching movies and taking it easy trying to get little one feeling better.

p.s. we have the coolest doctor who calls us on her cell phone on a Saturday. She Rocks!

1.29.10 - Friday

Today I had a ton of stuff to do but little buddy's had a fever all day and just wanted to be held... so I canceled everything and just cuddled with him on the couch... tonight its snowing (snowing?!?!?) and cold so we just bundled up, ordered pizza, made cookies and are snuggling on the couch... I consider it a PERFECT day (despite the sick baby part)! I love unexpected slow days.

We went out to dinner and a movie for Joy's birthday... we had so much fun! It was a much needed girls night out! I'm grateful for Joy and her family... they've been a blessing to us over the years.

Taking dinner in to the Dulaney's... little Lexi had her tonsils out so lots of popsicles were a must! And its very convenient that they just moved two doors down!

1.24.10 - Sunday

Sometimes (most Sunday's) Angie and I just "happen" to run into each other in the Mother's lounge. And sometimes we just "happen" to have chocolate in our diaper bags. After a few minutes of talking and a few pieces of chocolate we go our separate ways and back to our Sunday responsibilities. I love our Mother lounge meetings... they're a highlight of my Sunday!

1.23.10 - Saturday

We had the best day! We'd play at the waterpark for a couple of hours... come back to the hotel room and eat, take a nap. Repeat all day long.

It's was the PERFECT January getaway!

Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevinve.. complete with a waterpark inside the hotel!

I love spending time away with our little family... a perfect little weekend vacation!

Joy was so nice and wanted to surprise Dori by cleaning her new house before they moved in tomorrow. As Dori's Visiting Teacher I'm so happy that I was invited to help. It was a bit chaotic with all the kids involved... but it was such a nice act of service on Joy's part and I'm so happy I got to be a part of it!

I meant to take a better picture but at 9pm this was the best I could manage :)

1.19.10 - Tuesday

There's always much saddness when its time to go to bed... this is his classic "save me!" look followed by a small amount of tears. I loooove that he has his sippy cup and book clutched in his hands... holding on to them for dear life.

1.18.10 - Monday

An afternoon in the sunshine and rocks in the mouth... he could entertain himself for hours with rocks...
I always want to remember these sweet little moments with my baby boy.

1.17.10 - Sunday

Joey was released today after serving as Young Men's President for the last five year. He's loved being with the boys and will miss working with them... thankfully he's now the 16-17 year old Sunday School teacher so he'll still get to see them every Sunday :)

1.16.09 - Saturday

Joey was working on a paper for school, listening to music and little buddy climbed up wanting to listen to the headphones... he just sits and will listen to music as long as his daddy will let him... I think he's beyond adorable.

1.15.10 - Friday

We took little buddy for a big boy haircut this week... such a sad little boy... he's had his hair cut a couple of times... not sure why this time was so traumatic... but he cried through the whole thing. Cute little thing.

1.14.09 - Thursday

An impromptu girls night out to see Leap Year... a great movie and such a fun night out... much needed!


The nicest old man offered to take our picture when I took the camera out... I love when people offer!  :)

1.13.10 - Wednesday

I got invited to YW's and and do a lesson for the Laurel's... We put together a cool little scrapbook for their senior year... I love these girls so much and miss being with them on a weekly basis... such beautiful girls, inside and out!
