What baby likes best

Some people think raising a baby's a test

Not so! So long as you do what baby likes best

You must cook, shop and clean all with baby at chest

Always bouncing and patting with nothing but zest

And rocking and cooing in a spit-up proof vest

With puffy eyes looking just beyond stressed

While entertaining guests who should be grateful you're dressed

Forever walking, never sitting at a right angle facing west

While standing on your head with your hair of rat's nest

With life upside down looking like one big hot mess

Yep... that's just how mom does it

'Cuz that's what baby likes best!

Katelyn's baby blessing

Who do I look like?

 Who do you think I look most like?

daddy or mommy?....

 

 

Holiday Fun

Thanksgiving is all about.... 

.... Giving oneself a fu-man-chu....

.... being so sore after a 'friendly' game of family basketball that you only speak in grunts for the next few days.... 

... eating way too much pumpkin pie.... 

And for more than half of us- seeing it a second time just hours later :)

Yay for holidays! 

Super Halloween!

The Vision of the Tree of Life

I didn't feel like writing today, but I still wanted to share some thoughts. So you get to be subjected to my artistic abilities and your own interpretations! I would suggest you read all of 1 Nephi 8 and 11, and then go back through the specific scriptures for each item represented in the picture, starting with black, then red, and finally green. I would love to hear any thoughts, as well as any additional symbols or cross-references that would fit well within the picture. So let me know what you think! 

(Sorry the picture is sideways.... I couldn't figure out how to fix it on the blog!)

Katelyn says hello!

Hi family! I just wanted you to know I'm now 1 lb 5 oz and the doctor says I am super healthy! My favorite things to do are to fold in half and touch my forehead with my toes, kick mommy in the belly, and drink amniotic fluid after mom has a chocolate chip cookie! That's what I am doing in the picture below :) 

I can't wait to meet you! Love you already, 

Katelyn Marie
