I read this blog on a very good friend of my sister. You must read the whole thing to get the important point of it all!! But please read!! I am setting a goal to utilize these thoughts in my own life.

Here is my 18 month old little gal. She is growing up so quickly and running has been her main speed since 9 months old. I was always so excited to have children of my own because I enjoy my nieces and nephews so much. But I never knew that I would LOVE it and I mean LOVE being a mom. Some days are tough but I wouldn't change it for the world. She is AMAZING! I know I have said this before but I am in aw of her on a daily basis. She really is a sponge and just soaks in everything around her. I have enjoyed reading to her and sometimes I wonder if she understands what I am reading. However, if you ask her a question of what is on the page or what is going on she fires off the right answer. I will also ask her to go do something, like get her coat or shoes, to test her development and off she goes. I could go on and on.
The gist is I have been blessed beyond measure with this sweet spirit and I have enjoyed my 18 month old daughter immensely and look forward to many a more day with her.
Chocolate is one of my best friends and as you can see one of Isabella's favorites as well!!
We had the awesome priviledge thanks to Quinn and Stephanie to be treated to a weekend in SLC for Sophia Ann DeMordaunt's baptism. It was a celebration from the get go!! We got to enjoy the company with lots of visiting, INCREDIBLE food from sun up to sun down, swimming, and of course the main event the special baptism. It was so invogorating to be a part of a baptism. Not only to support her on this new step in her life but also as a reminder of the commitment I made so many years ago and that I renew each week. She was so excited and the program was touching. Sophia has wonderful parents and siblings that love and encourage her so much. We are so grateful for the opportunity we had to share this with them. Congratulations Sophia!! and Thank you!! Thank you!!
Isabella loves the bath and loved her hair in this picture. So, I thought I would share it with you.
