Separation Anxiety

A lady in my ward told me I must do some amazing bonding with my children because it's not normal for my 3 month old baby to be that attached to her mom. Adah just started not letting other people hold her, which makes my life very hard. (She'll let Bret hold her but that's where it ends.) I remember Emmett doing the same thing! We went to Zions with Bret's family when Emmett was 3 months old and he wouldn't let ANYBODY hold him but us. How pathetic! Ohhh and my softball games...Emmett cried for almost 2 hours straight while my mom held him. I hated that season. Adah's much better at the softball games then Emmett was. Speaking of softball, I absolutely love that sport. I love playing with my family, I love getting out of the house, I love exercising, I love when we win, etc...

P.S. I'm having to drop out of the St. George Marathon this year. I just couldn't bounce back fast enough from this c-section. I'm still having problems healing up, but I go back to the doctor tomorrow and I'll see what he says. Jill keeps telling me they left a tool in me, not likely :)

Nice To Meet You

I took the kids to go watch Brinley and Austin (neice and nephew) play soccer tonight and Emmett started waving at this lady. She walked up to me and said, " I must look familiar to him." I told her he sometimes waves to people he doesn't know and then Emmett held out his hand to grab hers and said, "nice to meet you". She shook his hand and said, " Well, it's nice to meet you too," She thought he was the cutest things on this planet, which he is ;)

Old Fashioned Quilts

My mom makes all her grandkids an old fashioned rag quilt. Here are Emmett's and Adah's quilts:

Matilda Jane

I went to a Matilda Jane Trunk Show today and bought Adah this dress for when she's a year old. I absolutely love it! I should learn how to sew this kind of stuff...I think I will!

I also bought her a few bows and me a necklace from Krumpets Design. They have the best jewelry! It's realy nice stuff for a good price. You can find them on facebook.

Check out those eye brows!

Quilt & Babies

My baby was sick today. He slept in until 11:00, which I thought was odd but he has been going to bed late. When he finally woke up he wanted me to hold him for a while and then as I was getting him into the tub he threw up. Poor kid. We spent the day/night watching movies in pajamas. I hate when he's sick but it is the only time that he lets me hold him. I was able to rock him to sleep tonight and that made me really happy.

This is a blanket I made for Adah. Nothing special but fun to do. I'm a happier person when I have some kind of a sewing project to work on.

My niece Hailey was baptised tonight. She looked so cute in her white dress and she seemed really happy about her special day. Unfortunately I didn't get to see her baptised because Adah cried and I had to walk her in the halls of the church. I did catch the end of my mom's talk on the Holy Ghost and that was nice. Wish I had a pic of Hailey..I need to take my camera more often.

New dress! I love having a girl and the clothes that come with!~

Lori gave me one of the center pieces from the dinner tonight. I love gerber daisies. They remind me of Joey. They're his favorite flower and therefore they're my favorite flower too. Thanks Lori for driving down to my house to give them to me.

Adah & Challenge Update

I scored 67/70 points for my first week of my challenge. I'm also down 3lbs now. Only 5 more to go and then I'm at pre-pregnancy weight. It's not all about weight loss though...it's about being healthy. I'm actually trying to eat more but just of the healthy stuff. I lost 1pt from eating dutch oven cobbler...totally worth the point. And then I lost 2 pts for swearing. My personal goal was to not swear...lets just say that isn't my goal this week. It's helped though because I still haven't sworn this week :)

Look at her...just look at her. I'M IN LOVE!
