Babies

There is nothing more precious or perfect than a new born baby! Last night my family was blessed with another baby, My brother Cortney and his wife Ashlee had their third little girl Mallory. I am so excited for them, and so excited to meet her!! My mom said that she is absolutely beautiful, lots and lots of black hair which is weird for their kids since their kids usually dont have hair until they are about 2. Ash is a trooper and always does so good with having babies, mom said that rught after Mallory was born she could hear Ashlee in the room giggling! I dont know many women that are laughing or giggling right after they give birth. So I just wanted to say congrats to them and that I cant wait to see her!!

Going Home

Today I am thankful for being able to go home and visit family and friends!! Paityn has told me every day for the last month that her mema and papa miss her and that she missed them and that she needed to go to Bear River to see them!! So today we are going to go to Bear town to see them for a week, Douglas will be there Sunday night since he has to work Saturday and Sunday. He will get to stay until after Thanksgiving dinner and then he will have to come back! It will be so nice for all of us to be able to get out of Wendover for a couple days!!

melissa

Since it has been a couple days since I have posted I thought I would get on here tonight and say that I am thankful today for a person that has always been there for me no matter what, someone who I consider to be one of my very best friends ever!! My beautiful and awesome sister Melissa!!! She is the best sister that anyone could ever ask for!!! She has always been so good to me, no matter what might be going on in her life she has always had an open door and open couch for me!! I cant count all the times that I have had to run away for the weekend or just whenever and she has more than willingly let me come sleep on her couch and eat her food!!! She has always been willing to help me with paityn when I might have needed someone to watch her. She has always been more than willing to pass down Tess's clothes that she grows out of. ( Tess is a very well dressed child and lets just say I have totes and totes full of clothes!!) Melissa is so giving and caring. She helps without expecting anything in return and is honestly the closest thing to a saint that I have ever met!!! I love you Melissa!!! Thank you for not only being my best friend but also the best sister anyone could ever ask for!!!

Blessings

Today I am thankful for the gospel and all of the many blessings that come with it! I am thankful for the knowledge that there is a way for Douglas and I to be sealed in the temple with our little Paityn for eternity! To have the knowledge that I will be able to be with not only my little family but my entire family for forever! They are the best family in the world and I am so greatful that I was sent to them and was blessed with the best parents ever and also the best siblings anyone could ever ask for!! They truely are all amazing and great people!! I love them all more than I can even begin to explain. Im thankful for the peace that comes with saying prayers every night with Paityn before she goes to bed and singing her favorite primary songs!!

We have been married for a month already today!!! Where does the time go?? Its crazy to think about sometimes, I love my little family so very much and am soooo very thankful for them. I also am thankful for Doctors and what they do. I have the worst cold that I have ever had!! Its awful I cant breathe and I can barely talk :( I feel like complete crap!! So I am giving in and going to go to the doctor today in hopes that they might be able to give me something!!

Paityn

Today I must talk about my greatest blessing in life!! Her name is Paityn, She is the best little thing ever. She is wild, and noisy, loud and naughty but I love it all about her. She is stubborn and knows exactly what she wants already at the age of three. I am not always paitent with her like I should be but I have really been working on it. She is my best little friend ever and I owe my life to her!!! She has saved me in so many ways and I feel that I will never be fully able to thank her for what she has brought to my life. A love and joy that I never thought was possible!! She makes me laugh and smile quite like no one else can. I love and adore this little girl more than anything on the earth!! I know that no matter what happens in this life I have her and her unconditional love!! So I want to say thank you Paityn, Thank you for loving me and letting me be your mommy!!! I will do my best to make sure that you always have the things that you need and want in life!! I LOVE YOU baby girl!!!

Douglas

My thankful blog today has to be about my wonderful husband!! I have been sick the last couple days and he has taken on helping me take care of Paityn so much! When I woke up this morning he had gotten her in the shower and had her dressed and had braided her hair!!! She looks like a doll!! I was amazed, at how good he could braid! He is so good to us and I am so thankful for him everyday!! I love him so very much and just wanted to take a min to tell him thank you for all that he does for us!!

The Holidays!!

For my thankful post today I have to say that I am thankful for the holidays and all of the fun and happy feelings that come with it!!! This time of year is by far my favorite time, Everything about it makes me just happy! I love the spirit of it all and all the memories that I have from when I was a little kid and all the traditions we had with my families, They were always fun and I loved being able to get together with my aunts and uncles and being able to play with all of my cousins. Another memory that I have and am so thankful for is the memory of my dad taking my sister and I out to dinner right around christmas and then we would go shopping for our mom and we always just had a good time together!! I hope now that I have my own family that I can continue some of these traditions with Paityn and Douglas!!

Thankful

Since this is my absolute favorite time of year I have decided to be a copycat and follow what my sister is doing on her blog every day of this month and post something that I am thankful for that day. Today I am going to post about my mom and the amazing women that she is. She has always been there for me and supported me in whatever weird or random thing that I was interested in in the moment. I have always been able to talk to her about what was going on in my life at the moment. She helped me more than anyone ever could when I had Paityn, She quit her job to stay home with Paityn while I went to work so that I didnt have to find a babysitter for her. I can never tell her thank her enough for everything that she has done for me in my life!! Mom you are the best mom a girl could ever ask for and I will always be so greatful to you for helping me so much!!! Your the best and I love you!!!
