Together for....

Tonight I was blessed to witness one of the most amazing events. My Husband's friend from High School has a 2 year old little girl who has Leukemia. Tonight her family/and friends put together a benefit concert. The theme they have taken on is "Together for Taleah". Tonight that was made clear. So many people came to support. It was such an amazing feeling in the auditorium. I got really moved, when I saw the sweet girl come in with her mom. I do not know her, but I can only put myself in her mom's shoes. It literally makes me sick to think, Sydney or Sadie having Leukemia. I wanted to run up to Taleah's mom and hug her. I wanted to take away her pain. I can only imagine. This concert made me stop and regroup. I looked at this perfect, beautiful, little girl. She is fighting, for her life! Her parents are fighting for their precious, little girl.
Who am I to complain? Who am I to be selfish, and not help those in need. We are all here together, for each other. We can help each other out. I can guarantee that this family went home, with such happy hearts. I am sure their spirits were lifted, and they were ready, for whatever awaits in the future. As a community we did this. We came together to help someone in need. For those two hours we all had something in common. We should take this sweet little girl and set her as an example. We should always be together for everyone. We should lift each other up, and be willing to lighten each others burdens. We are all here for the same thing, to return home to our Heavenly Father. To have our family not only on earth, but in the eternities. We can all help each other. We can conquer this life, we can use each others strengths. I am so grateful for my daughters. I am grateful for their health. I am grateful for my husband, and for the father he is. I have too much to be grateful, and humble for. Who am I not to give? Thank you Taleah, thank you for the courage you have. You have inspired me to be a better person, and I am sure I am not the only one. I challenge myself to live up to this standard, not to judge, and be there for people around me.

Rodeo!

So this was Sydney's second go at the rodeo, and Sadie's first. Jeff was so kind to go early to put blankets down, ahead of time. We had amazing seats! We enjoyed the company of Jenny & Austin, and Lindsy & Nephi. It was such a fun night. We started out at Cafe Rio, and then headed over. The kids loved watching all the fun animals. They would clap, and cheer with everyone. Sydney, and Owen really love each other...even if at times they want NOTHING to do with each other. We got to see one of the sweet moments at the rodeo.

Sadie 3 months

My oh my, where has time gone? my presious little girl is growing WAY too fast. She is such a sweetheart. She is so good at talking to us. We can look at her and start talking, and she will follow right along. She has such a sweet spirit. She loves her sister so much!!










I am so lucky to have been blessed with such a angel. I can feel the love she has for me. This month she realized who I was. She is so much fun.

Funny Things That Happened This Week

*Sydney usually likes to go push Sadie in her swing, but this was a first!
Sydney had crawled into the swing WITH Sadie, and was swinging with her!!


*We went to McDonald's after the splash pad, the plan was just to go home
right after. Since we live right down the street I was not thinking to
bring extra clothes. So Sydney went in her swimsuit. Her favorite thing
is the kids cone from there. She was so determined to eat it that she did
not even care that she was shaking from each bite from being so cold!!
(Jenny took a pic of this so I will get it from her cam and post it)

*This is not super funny, but kinda. Sydney, and I turned the corner to see
Sadie on her side! She was trying so hard to roll over. Sydney thought it was
hilarious!

*Sydney came walking over to me and I just about screamed! She had black ALLL over her face, clothes,everything! I then realized in her hand was my mascara,and in her mouth was the brush!! Time for new mascara!
So I went to take a picture of this and of course my camera died. I need to be more prepared!!

Sadies Blessing ( 2 months)

I love blessing days. They are so special to me. I love to have the opportunity to hear my amazing bless our child. The words in the blessing were so beautiful, and I know Sadie is going to do amazing things. I also love having my family all here. I am so grateful for all of them. We were only missing Jenny and her fam, Jeff and his fam, and Jeff's dad. We sure missed them, but totally understand how hard traveling is! My amazing friend Lindsy helped put rose petals in Sadie's dress. She look darling. The day was so sweet.

Sadie 2 Month

So a lot happened during Sadie's two months, and I want to do post on those. So that is why there is not a whole lot of her two months.

Sadie 1 Month

I love this little girl so much. I never understood, how I could love a baby as much as Sydney. Right when I held Sadie in my arms the love for her was indescribable. She was absolutely perfect. She is my chunky baby, and I am so in love with her. She really only woke up twice for the first 2 weeks. After that she slept through the night. That was so nice, since she was not the easiest baby. Sadly she had tummy issues, but was still so sweet. It is so fun seeing the differences Sydney, and Sadie have. I always knew Sydney loved me, but at times I wondered if she really knew me. Sadie, on the other hand loves me!! I could feel the love she had for me instantly. It is so sweet. She is my sweet little girl.
