Good Morning

This morning the sun woke me up. I felt so rested had to think of where I was and re track the night to see if I had just slept through my son's cries or if he had just slept the whole night. There was no bottle by the bed which meant I hadn't gotten up. This is a very bitter sweet feeling for me like YES I slept through the night! Boo is he okay? I got up and went to check on him he was laying very quietly in some deep thought. He looked up and smiled really big up at me. My day was made right then. Its 7:30am there is opportunity to have everything go wrong and none of it will surpass my awesome moment I had with Carson. I love that.... A little catch up on the past week...... Lacey turned 12 hip hip! Carson swam in the pool and loved it! Clint took me to Donovan's SO GOOD! I started being a hard core coupon cutter! meow! And I plan on sewing A LOT! lol

Father's Day Weekend

Our weekend was really good. We took my dad to dinner on Saturday to the seafood market...yum! Clint had his day on Sunday, the Red Soxs were on, Lace and I made salsa for him and he opened his presents. We spent the rest of the afternoon reading scriptures and hanging out together. Sweet and simple.

some of my favorites

Sunflowers

My sunflowers are coming in! We feed the birds out side I know, I know crazy bird lady.... but you should see the different kinds that come in. I have roadrunners and quail and woodpeckers ect, ect. I even make a special recipe for my humming birds! Anyways a couple months back I told Clint that I really wanted sunflowers in the back. He said he wasn't that into them, thought they kinda looked like weeds... I said, boo but that was fine. We chose a bunch of other flowers and planted them around the house. The birds have been coming and going and we are constantly filling up our feeders. I started noticing a plant growing at the bottom of the feeder. We were both like no idea what that is. So we let it grow and grow and grow and looks like I got my wish! The messy birds that would drop the seeds on the floor were actually unknowingly helping us plant.... sunflowers! I smile really big at Clint when ever I catch him looking at them. I think its way exciting. I possibly need more of a life but gardening is one of my things so... to anyone else who shares my green thumb I'm sure they can relate. Ü Its funny because when I first moved in with Clint you could say the back yard wasn't really up to par. But now its looking awesome. I thought when we made it one of our projects it was something that he felt he had to do. But come to find out that's exactly the opposite. With his green green grass (except where the slip n slide was...oops) and his tomato and pepper garden he's totally into it. Even Lacey is wanting her own section of the back yard. I guess they just needed a little help letting that green thumb show.

Blogging

My friends have been begging me to get one of these things for I don't know how long . I have declined, declined, declined but once I found out that Christine Green had one of these I was in.... ;) ha ha. Lets see... I seriously cannot believe that it is JUNE!!!! I'm losing time I have been thinking its been march for the past three months! Carson is hitting 4 months and Lacey is going to be 12! Carson is so big! I love it, chubby and happy are always fun! He is all smiles now. I will admit it he has me wrapped around his little finger. I'm trying to savor him like this. I don't want to wake up and see him going on his mission and feel like I wasn't paying attention. Lacey has grown up so much in the year and half that I have known her. Doesn't seem like only a year and half though. I feel so blessed with this life that Heavenly Father has given me. I couldn't ask for more. I have a handsomely charming husband who grants my every wish. A son who I wake up for (literally Ü) and a step daughter who has been nothing but a sweetheart to me. This life is good. Carson found his thumb and big toe today he cracks me up. He wants both in his mouth. Its crazy how I was told I would never have him. I'm grateful my cancer is gone. It wouldn't be this way with out the Gospel in my life. The blessings that I have received have all helped me in more ways than one.
