My little Superboy

After reading Amy's blog about her cute Allie. I wanted to post my cute little bundle of joy too. Christopher Kal-El he is now 4 1/2 mos old and still smaller than Allie but that's ok he is still cute as can be. He was a surprise to us when I found out I was pregnant. I didn't want Danny to know right away so I got the pregnancy test and did it without him knowing and then I went in and told him. We wanted to be sure so I had it done again the next day at a clinic. And here he is. The one thing that I am grateful for is the presence of good doctors. Amy is so right Dr. Peterson is the best. He has been there for me through 2 children. Christopher was an easier c-section than Kara my oldest was. But I knew that no matter what happened I would be ok and Dr. Peterson was there. Being totally numb from the chest down is a very weird feeling.
Holding Christopher for the first time was amazing. Seeing him right after he was delivered and actually being awake is the greatest feeling.
He is becoming the cutest person. He knows that no matter what is wrong I will know what he is trying to tell me. I will ask him a question and he will always tell me the answer. He is definitely Mommy's little boy. I am thankful for his little spirit he helps me see how close we need to be to our Heavenly father.
I am so grateful that he brings cheer and joy to everyone he meets. His Grandma's and Grandpa's love him. His Aunt's and Uncle's fight over who will hold him next. His cousins love to hold him too. Kara just can't get enough of him she will play with him and involve him in whatever she is doing. On Nov. 30, 2006 he rolled over for the first time. They grow way to fast.
I am so grateful for the privledge to be a mother of such wonderful children. To have them to raise and become children of God. Thank you Heavenly Father for giving me this opportunity. Thank you to my mother for showing me your experience and guidance. And to all the many mothers that I know for showing me your example.

Time

Time? What do you think of when you see the word Time? I don't have enough time? Where did all the time go? I think most of us say the first all to often. Tonight I was thinking about my life in the big picture. I feel like all I ever do is Work, eat, and sleep. And maybe get some play time in with the kids. I feel I never see my husband unless he is working, sleeping or being frustrated with anything. All I want is to spend time with him. I am not asking for a lot.
I think that we get stuck in the rut of life and we don't want to change or do anything that my be difficult. Times like this I start to think about why we are here? To be tested. Am I doing all that I can to return to heavenly Father? All of us at one point or another will say NO. This time here on earth is for growing and learning from what we have and how we can make it. With Christmas so close and always remembering Jesus Christ and his birth. But also remembering what he came here to do. Give us a way home. I know I can be better and that I can do what I need to. I just have to try harder. I am the farthest away from perfect and I want to be better. I pray for guidance and help so I can be that better mother, wife and sister.

Charmed

Charmed as you know is one of my favorite shows. I go through phases where I love one show. I really enjoy watching the actors and the stories they tell. As a watched over the course of the show I noticed that as the show matured so did the characters. I came to love the characters more. Alyssa Milano is one actress that I really enjoy watching she was great in Who's the boss and she has been in some movies. I really liked her in Charmed because some times I related to her. No in the physical sense of fighting demons or falling in love. But fighting my own demons of the world. The stories always kept me interested. And helped me see that the opposition that Heavenly Father has given us in very important part of this short time we have on the earth.

Blessing

On Sunday we had the blessing for Christopher. It was also my birthday. Being able to see my son receive his name and blessing was the most enjoyable thing. My birthday has become a memorable occasion for me. I was baptized at 8, I had my mission farewell when I was 21, and now I had my son's blessing when I was 32. It was a very spiritual day for me.
I pondered how grateful I am to have such a wonderful family. One of the most important things in this life is the family. I was grateful to have them all there to be witnesses of such a wonderful occasion. Danny and I were talking about things and I said to him. We need to accept our family the way they are. My parents got divorced and it has been hard on all of us as children. I look at it that this is the way are family is now. So accept it and just make it work. The effort of making it work has to come from all parties. My other siblings have had a harder time dealing with it. But I know in time that they will see that it's not worth it.
One of the most wonderful things about getting married is you get to be a part of a new family. The in-laws. In some cases not every one its happy about that but in my case I don't know what I would do with out my in-laws. My mother-in-law has helped me in so many ways I am grateful that she is so close to me. I have such a wonderful in-law family I am so blessed.

LOVE

So today has been one of fun. I spend my time with 2 wonderful kids. My son brings more happiness to my life. He is helping me with my blog tonight. My daughter is discovering words like crazy. She will repeat most of what I say. If something went wrong its No happed. If we are walking to another room I will tell her let's go and she says Go Go Go. If I am feeding my son she will say boos Cr. if my son is sleeping she will say brother seeping. I am just grateful for my wonderful children and my husband. They bring me all the happiness in the world.
