Forget Not...



This is from President Uchtdorf's talk. I loved it and I can't wait for general conference this weekend!

General RS meeting was awesome!

The general RS meeting was so great. Jared was so nice to watch Drew so I could go and listen to the talks. It's so crazy because I spend every minute with Drew so you'd think I'd be glad to get away but I missed him even though I was only away for 2 hours. It was nice to really be able to listen though and I loved all the talks and as always I really loved President Dieter F. Uchtdorf's talk. I have such a strong testimony that Heavenly Father loves all his children individually and it was so nice to hear him talk about how precious we are in God's eyes. We are never forgotten and even things that we do that might not be that important in the worlds eyes are important to Heavenly Father. I loved how he talked about being patient with yourself. I feel like it is much easier to be patient with others and then be hard on yourself for every little thing. It's something I need to work on and I was glad he talked about that. There were so many wonderful parts to his talk. I really wish that every woman could watch it because I wish that everyone could know how much God loves and values them. We are never forgotten in God's eyes.

I love being a mom:)

I really love being a mom. I was a little worried about how it would be to be home all the time and to be a mom before I had Drew. It's so crazy how everyone tells you you'll love your baby so much and I never really understood that till I had my own. It's sounds cheesy but you really do love them more and more everyday. Every little thing they do is so precious you just can't get enough. I love just having one baby because I can just laying around and take naps with him and cuddle. I'm really trying to enjoy this time because I know when I have more kid's it will not be so easy to rest and sleep. Drew is such a good baby and even though he still nurses at night I think it is so special and I love that he holds my hand when he's nursing. Those little moments are precious to me. I love his little smile when he looks up at me in the morning. I'm so excited for Drew to grow and be able to do more but I also just want him to stay little so I can keep cuddling with him. Being a mom is much better than expected and I can imagine as I have more kids that my love is just going to grow even more.

On a roll!



At a little over 4 1/2 months Drew started rolling over. He's been almost doing it for a few weeks but just recently started really rolling. He rolls from his back to his tummy and the first day he started doing it he looked surprised and very pleased with himself! Now every time I put him down he rolls and is almost rolling in both directions. It's kinda funny that he rolls from his back to his tummy because he doesn't like being on his tummy and gets made when he can't roll back! It's been so fun to watch him get stronger and do more but I'm a little scared for when he can really move. It seems like once he learns a new thing he doesn't stop. I'm so sad that the second picture is to dark but I didn't have my camera on the right settings. I love the picture anyway because he is doing his "i'm so proud of myself smile."

Beautiful blankets




Drew was very lucky to have friends and family make beautiful blankets for him. His great grandma nelson and a good friend from church made these.

more awesome beach days




We have been having so much fun every week with our beach friends Sara and Ryan. We went to Zuma beach and hiked to the top of point dume with our babies in their ergos. It's so nice hiking in the morning because it's cool and refreshing at the beach and we have it all to ourselves. Drew seems to really like it and falls asleep most of the time on our hikes.
