Just for you!

I know I haven't updated in a while I'll be better I promise :) Easton just had a little message for you nik and mandi. Can't wait to see you guys.

Not so little anymore. . .

To my sweet Easton,

You are getting so big! I feel like it was just yesterday I was in the hospital waiting for your arrival. You were so beautiful. You came out looking big and chubby with some of the biggest hands I have ever seen! I have never felt so much love. You were all mine and I knew I wouldn't be the same. Becoming your mommy changed me. Instead of thinking about myself, you consume all of my thoughts. I would do anything for you. You are my whole world. How did I ever live without you? Your first few months of your life were spent on our couch, in my arms asleep. I would just stare at you for hours in amazement, that you were part of me, I help make you. The most beautiful baby I had ever seen! Words cannot even begin to describe the joy you bring me everyday! Just when I think you can't get any cuter, you prove me wrong. I think that I can't love you more, you prove me wrong. You melt my heart with your sweet kisses that I don't even have to ask you for! You give them to me all on your own. I know our spirits are in tune, you can tell when mommy is having a bad day, you are extra sweet. You are the funniest boy I have ever known. You love to make people laugh and have some of the sweetest dance moves I have ever seen! All my life I dreamed my baby would love to sing and dance. You are even more than I could have ever imagined! You were my buddy from the start! You think your mommy is pretty funny! And it makes me feel so good! You see, I think I'm pretty funny and sometimes I'm the only one. So we were destined for each other. A match made in heaven! And I thank my father in heaven every day for trusting me with your sweet spirit. I hope that I can be the mother you deserve. A mother to teach you to live up to your full potential. And to return with honor to live with your father in heaven. We are a family forever. You will always be apart of me. That is the greatest gift I could ever receive. You are getting too big! I didn't say you could grow up. One day you'll go to school, date girls and not think your mom is too funny anymore. Then you'll leave me and go on a mission. Then find a girl to take to the temple and start an eternal family of your own. ( please promise me this is very very far far away!) But we will always be connected. You may never fully know how much I truly love you. You will become a daddy some day and maybe get a glimpse of how much your mom loves you. But a mother's love is indescribable. I promise you my sweet Easton, I will always love you no matter what. No matter what life may throw at you to knock you down I will always be there to lift you back up. You will make mistakes but I will be here to help you fix them. Like I said before I would do anything for you! Those days will come sooner than I'm ready for, so for now I will cherish our sweet moments together. You aren't so little anymore. But you make me the happiest girl in the world. I am proud to be your mommy! Love you to the sky and back, infinity!



Love,

Your mommy

To clean or not clean. . .

That is the question!

Its Monday, the weekend is over and Sheldon in back to work (in tucson boo!!) I thought spring break is supposed to be celebrated with vacation? Oh well, we will vacation in good ol tucson for a few days. :) But today I am left with the dilemma to clean my house or not. You see I have never been great at this whole "cleaning thing" I mean I love to come home to nice clean house, but I'm not so much a fan making it a nice clean house. I am very easily distracted to something that could take only a few hours takes me a whole day!! don't even get me started on SVU marathon days! But that's a whole other story for a different day. Cleaning can be quite discouraging when you have a little tornado of a son behind you messing up everything you just picked up. So if and when I do clean my house it only last for a few minutes.

Exhibit A:

Eastons toys that I just picked up two minutes before.

But picking up is the least of my worries. Laundry is going to be the death of me!! I'm not kidding, I HATE doing laundry! I love the smell of nice clean clothes. But I hate folding and putting them away. Laundry is a never ending battle for me. I think the whole time Sheldon and I have been married I have been caught up on laundry once. Yes only once in almost 3 years. Pathetic I know. My angel of a mother always did our laundry growing up and she was amazing at it! I always had fresh clean clothes nicely folded on my bed waiting to be put away. Did I always put them away? NO. But they were clean. If I can't keep up now, what am I going to do when I have more kids and more clothes to wash? Maybe I'll make my kids do their own laundry. :) Does that make me a mean mom? A two year old can learn quickly right? Ok I wont make Easton do his own laundry. . . .YET! But until he can I guess I'll have to work on being a little better.

Exhibit B:

Probably 4 loads of clean clothes just waiting to be folded and put away. It will happen some day. But maybe that isn't today. Anyone want to go to lunch? :)

Pick Me! Pick Me!
