Landon my mitchell, my mitchell, my boy

First of all I am so happy Danya posted on her blog I love to read what she has to say, it always puts a smile on my face!

Landon has been cracking me up lately with his ideas. For example every time I cook he wants to help me, usually tell him no. In my head it's just too much stress for me to have him help because he slows me down and I just want to hurry up and finish! He has come up with a new plan to get me to let him help out. He now offers me a treat. He says "mom if you let me help then I will give you a treat. ummm I will make you hot chocolate!" How can I say no? He knows bribes work for me to get him to do things, so they must work on me too! I have to say it did work, it made me laugh and give in, and he did make me hot chocolate later that night. What a sweet kid!

Jogging Stroller

I am so happy i finally i have Double Jogging Stroller! I went and looked on Criag's list and got one for $50! I've used it a couple times already and I love it! It's a BeBeLove USA Evolution DS! The previous owner barely used it so it's like new...i'm so so happy about this!

Carson's Baby Blessing

Carson was blessed on Sunday and it was so wonderful because my two older sister were able to come! This was the first time anyone from my family was able to attend a baby blessing for one of my children. Carson wore Landon's blessing outfit...when Landon wore that outfit it swallowed him, but of course since Carson is such a chuck I could barely snap the snaps around his chunky thighs! He looked absolutely adorable in my opinion. :D I love baby blessings I love to hear how special each baby is and how much our Heavenly Father loves them. It was a good blessing and Carson didn't even give a peep he slept the whole time. I love Carson so much I am so blessed to have him in my life. :)

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!
