Thankful

I am thankful for so many things and I could go on and on about them but I will say the three that I am most grateful for right now. First I am so thankful for this wonderful husband that I have. He is my best friend and such a wonderful daddy! He is my everything! Of course I am grateful for this little angle that is mine (this picture melts me). I am grateful for all this little guy is teaching me and for all the joy he brings into my life! AND I am SO grateful that he slept through the night last night (from 10 pm - 6 am! It was amazing!!)!!!!!!

Most of all this year I think I am grateful for my mom! When ever I am feeling less than patient or very tired, when I am having a hard day, I just think of her. It keeps me going to think of all that she did for me and helps me remember that I can do the same for my sweet little boy. How I love my mama!

I am thankful for all of you and hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Chubbers

Want to see how chubby I really am? Two chins (I know there is a neck in there somewhere...)

Big belly :)

Strong arms

Looks like I have an elastic around my wrist but I don't :)

Rolls on my legs!

p.s.s to my last post...

Did I tell you that my 2 1/2 month old is in size 3 diapers...the box the diapers came in have this big baby that is crawling all over...I know what you are going to say...he is a healthy baby...just say it! He is CHUBBY to the max!

p.s. to my last post...

I just found out that if you use my referral code you can get $10 off your first order at diapers.com but you have to order before Dec 2nd. the referral code is LATE2419 OR my e-mail address (latergirl@gmail.com)...happy shopping!

Diapers.com

Well, for the first time since Spencer was born we had to get some diapers. Up until now we have been using the diapers I got for gifts and such. For a while I was thinking, "Wow we have not had to get diapers all this time..." and then I realized that although it feels like an eternity since Spencer was born he is just over 2 1/2 months! So we have almost gone through this whole stack.

Anyways...on with my point. I ordered diapers yesterday from diapers.com and they got here today! Before lunch time even! Now that is service! And I hear they are the best price around. Just thought you should know :)

p.s. Does the number of diapers you use a day ever slow down?

The truth shall set you free!

If you are pregnant, have a baby or know anyone that has a baby you have got to check this out! Here is the story...This summer when Nate and I were at our city fair, we saw a lady with a both selling swaddling blankets for $30. Yes they were very nice blankets but I am such a penny pincher that there was no way I was going to pay $30 for a blanket even if it did come with a free DVD to teach you how to help your baby sleep better...if I could just go back and know how much I would regret that!! For some reason I kept the business card just in case! Well the other day I was feeling so tired of being tired and not knowing how to help my baby sleep better so I just decided I would give her a call. I went over on Tuesday night and got the blanket and DVD (she lives pretty close to me). I LOVE the blanket but the DVD is GOLDEN! I watched the DVD right away and I will never be the same! I learned I was doing a lot of things wrong! How many of you have been told that you need to keep your baby awake in the day so they will sleep at night? I was told that by lots of people and I thought it made sense too!! How wrong I was! By watching this DVD I have come to understand that my baby needs sleep! Lots of it and the more he sleeps...the more he will sleep! I also learned HOW to put my baby to sleep! The night I got the DVD I was able to put Spencer to be in 13 minutes!! Before it was sometimes taking me an hour or more. I would say good night to Nate and then go down stairs with Spencer and know it would be a long time before I would be able to go to bed too! NOT ANY MORE! I can get him to sleep SO fast! It has been amazing! I am no longer stressing about getting him to sleep...or about keeping him awake! I know HOW and WHEN to get him to sleep and I know that I don't have to wake him up so he will "sleep better at night". I can't tell you how much this "truth has set me free!" The lady that owns this company has a %100 success rate. That is pretty darn good, don't you think? I would highly recommend checking this web site out and ordering her products! I would pay a lot more that $30 for a good night sleep, wouldn't you? Here it is: http://www.bbsleepsolutions.com/

Spencer's Blessing

We blessed Spencer yesterday here in our ward. Nate did a great job and Spencer didn't even cry during the blessing. Our families were able to come over after church for lunch. We had a great time. Spencer is so lucky to have so many people who love him! Could I love any two people more? Good thing I didn't put him in the little white tux I borrowed from a friend...he pooped all over this black outfit before Sacrament meeting was even over. (plus he was too chubby to fit in the white tux :(

He melts me! This is my parents 13th grandchild! I love my boy SO much!

Happy Halloween!

Well I am a few days late but better late than never. We had a really fun Halloween with my family. Spencer was the cutest monkey you ever saw! Three little kittens...

Carving pumpkins for family night!

This was my Halloween craft that I have been working on for...oh about a year! I finally finished!

This has nothing to do with Halloween but it is a very special picture of 4 generations!
