Tragedy

Sometimes it takes a tragedy to wake you up and make you realize what we take for granted. Recently there has been a tragedy that has occurred to a family close to me and Bret and his family. It has been absolutely heart breaking to watch, the family is doing the best they can considering the situation. The worst part has been to see how it has effected the 16 year old child in the family. I just pray some good comes from this and the family will be comforted. Through all of this it has made me appreciate my family so much more. I am thankful they are all still here on this earth. I love husband and he loves me, even thought we both have faults we can forgive each other and continue to love each other. I am thankful for parents who love each other and for all the love and support they give to me. I am grateful for a having close relationships with my sisters and brothers. Knowing they are there for me when I need them and being able to lean on them and they can lean on me because we love each other. I am also grateful for the gospel and the knowledge, peace, and comfort is gives to me. Also for Jesus Christ and the atonement he made for me, and the knowledge that he knows who I am, what I am going through, and the love he has for me.

Loving to Cook

So while my mom was here she bought me new cookware since mine was horrible. All the non-stick was peeling off and all the lids were broken! She said i couldn't cook with it anymore, so for an early birthday present she bought me Kitchen Aid cookware! I love it! I love the lids, the color, the new non-stick that isn't peeling off, it is just so great!! YAY for mamas!
Oh and Carson had his 2 week old Dr. appt yesterday and he is doing well, nice and healthy 10 lbs 4 oz. baby! He's gained 2 lbs in the last 2 weeks! I can't believe how big he is, it just cracks me up! I love, love ,love this kid he's so cute and chunky!

Ode to mom

So my mama just left to go back to Utah and i am left to start taking over my motherly duties. I am so sad to see her go, I love her so much and she was such a great help to me! Thank heavens for mothers, i don't know what i would have done with out her this past week. She took care of me and my family so well and i don't know how i am going to manage with out her. I will survive and life will move on but i will miss her so, so much!
