takin' care of business...

this is how i get things done around the house. jentri rarely takes long naps. she just takes little 30-45 minute ones...so i don't get a lot done while she sleeps. she is getting to the point where she likes to be sitting up and doing something all the time and have our constant attention. so this is how i get stuff done--the frontpack--it is great! she loves it too! cody always laughs when he comes home and she is just hanging there doing stuff with me.

♥ my valentine ♥...

MELT MY ♥...

since valentine's day is in just a few days i thought i would talk a little bit about "my valentine". wow...i am one lucky girl. cody was a great catch. i must admit, i am a very lucky lady! cody has always been so great to me. i don't know if you know "our love story"...but i will tell you a little about it...

it all began at our old stomping ground...teton high school. well, my junior year i was at a homecoming dance and i was walking to the edge of the cafeteria (yeah...our dances were held in the cafeteria) anyway... as i was walking someone said "who's hooker boots are those on the ground?" cody said, "i think they're jessie beard's." which they were not. yeah...quite the romantic beginning... ha ha! but it worked...we danced the rest of the night and have pretty much been together ever since.

cody and i had so much fun when we were dating. we always did crazy things. cody never failed to keep me laughing and loving him! now that we are married it is just the same way only better. as we move forward with our life i only love him more. having jentri really made me feel so much love for him. having a family means so much. cody takes such good care of us. everyday i look at him and wonder how i have gotten so lucky...

I Love You So...

"I Love You So..." By Marianne Richmond

For anyone out there who loves to read to their kids...this is a great book! I read to Jentri on a daily basis. This book is my favorite of all...so we read it A LOT! The first time I read it to her I got all teary eyed. It is a great book that talks about the unconditional love you can have for a child. I would highly recommend it!

Debbie...

When I was in St. George I was blessed with an amazing opportunity. I worked for a group home called Danville Services. One of my clients was Debbie. She was such an amazing person. I became very close with her. She always made me laugh. I didn't take care of Debbie...she took care of me. I was often homesick being so far away from home alone. She was always so kind to me. She was not just my client, she was my friend. The first time I moved home for the summer her and I were both sobbing. We knew we were really going to miss eachother. Today I found out she passed away. I just wanted to take a minute and reflect on the great times I had with her and how blessed I was to be a part of her life. I love you Debbie!
