Daddy's Blessing

Ruth Leah was blessed March 21, 2010 by her Daddy. It was a beautiful Father's blessing. She was blessed to choose the right, obey her parents. She was blessed to know that her family loves her very much. Daddy blessed us to teach her and guide her. He blessed her to marry well. He blessed her to be healthy. He thanked our Heavenly Father for her.

How grateful I am for my amazing husband that he has the priesthood. I gave a lesson to my Mia Maids on this same Sunday and my lesson was on the Priesthood. What a blessing it was to have prepared for this lesson and have Ruth blessed on this same day. One particular part of the lesson said this; "The Priesthood is a power great enough to control worlds, yet gentle enough to bless a newborn baby."

Below is a picture of Ruth in her lace tights. My Mother in law bought her beautiful dress and these tights were for Dan, so he had something to hold on to, LOL!

Isn't she so pretty?! I love it!

Guilty Pleasures

I have a weakness....

I'm sure you're dying to know what it is...

Teenager Music.....GURL!

I can't help but just LOVE Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and the like. I have the radio stations plugged into my stereo in the car and on my ipod. "Party in the USA" is seriously, like totally my absolutely fav song right now. How can you not just put your hands up, nod your head, and move your hips to this song?! I can't. Like my brother Shawn says, you have to have some guilty pleasures in life, teeny bopper songs are mine. WURD.

Do you have guilty pleasures when it comes to music? Come on, tell me you love the Backstreet Boys, John Denver, Neil Diamond, or Bruce Springsteen...you know you do.

Roo

Ruth is sprouting before my eyes! This just isn't fair. I can't get the 9 months she's inside me to go fast enough and now I can't get time to slow down. What a sweet, angelic baby! She has been so much fun for all of us! In just the last week, she has offered us a few of her sweet smiles. She smiles the most when she's taking a bath. She loves baths! She opens and shuts her hands, holds her head up, and follows us with her beautiful blue eyes. She is getting used to sleeping in her bed. The last couple of nights, I'm proud to say half of the night she isn't with me, which is wonderful. I love sleeping on my flat (no baby inside, but plenty of chub left) tummy. It's heaven! I love snuggling with my man without a baby between us. It's bliss!

The girls just went back to school after being off track for three weeks and Joe is spoiled being able to hold her all the time. He is such a good big brother and takes such good care of Roo. I'm so blessed!

Our First Date

March 1st, 1997 Dan and I had our first date. He pulled up in an uber hawt Acura (his room mates) and took me out to Dos Seranos (sp?) for dinner, an organ concert on temple square. He was killing two birds with one stone...taken out a hottie and accomplishing a little music appreciation for college credit...lawl. We then drove around the avenues for an hour talking. He is so easy to talk to. We then played miniature golf with an 8 year old who decided he wanted to hang out with us that night. We had no idea who he was. It was funny. It was the best date ever! Obviously :)

To that boy in my Old Testament Class 13 years ago. I'm so glad you asked me out! I love you!
