New but Old Pictures of Katelyn

Here are some pictures of Katelyn and I with my Grandma Davis. This was actually taken at Easter, so it's not a new picture. But I thought I better post it. And the first picture of Katelyn is around when she first started smiling a lot or maybe giggling at that point- on Easter also. She is growing up way too fast. Her newest thing is to use my hair to hold on--she doesn't trust her mom. And she is sleeping in her own room. Not a big deal for me and DJ--she slept great before in her bassinet. She is also eating her toes which are a real delicacy. She is 5 months tomorrow.

Our Girl

Here are some pics of our baby girl. She was born February 13th and came fast and furious. I missed the epidural but at least we made it to the hospital and both of us are doing well. She was our biggest baby weighing in at 9 pounds. Big chunk of burning love. She's adorable and it was all worth it. Her big brothers and daddy love her too.

Our Newest Addition to the Family

What a Great Man

One of my favorite General Conference talks this last October was Elder Wirthlins talk about learning to laugh, seeking for the eternities, and the rule of compensation. He stated "The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude." I really enjoyed this talk and am sad to see Elder Wirthlin pass away, but I know he is with his wife in a grand place. May his family be blessed.

I Know a Few Languages

The other day when I was on the phone with my mom, my wonderful son JT was driving me crazy. I'm sure I'm not the only mom that this happens to, but every time I get on the phone my children either suddenly need me or they want to make loud noises to annoy me. Well, JT comes over and turns this loud toy on right by my other ear. I got annoyed and said "Don't do that." It was then that I realized that all I had been saying all afternoon is "Don't do that", "Stop that," "No," or "Not now." I proceeded to tell my mom that this is the only language I know anymore. My son who was listening pipes in-- "Mom, you know a little bit of Spanish. Tell me if you know what I'm saying. I want some agua." My mom and I were laughing so hard. Even if I was annoyed --he sure makes me laugh at times.

Our Recent Purchase

So heres our most recent purchase--well, besides a home and all the other stuff that goes with that. My boys got to watch our new piano delivered to our home yesterday. They were so excited and played their own little songs. I'm finding out that I'm going to need some furniture in that room very soon-so the sound doesn't echo so much.
