POOTASTROPY!

This ones for you Ali!
So do you remember the tongue twister that has something to do with slitting the sheet but if you say it fast you usually end up saying "Shit the sheet!"? Well that is were my story begins. I finished feeding Bailee her lunch and decided that I'd better go change her before she went down for her nap. Well it started out okay but then I noticed that some of the poo in her diaper fell onto the bed so I cleaned it up and got her cleaned up. At that moment I noticed that she wasn't quite finished with her business. So I hurried and put the diaper back under her so that it wouldn't get on the bed. Then I started to clean her up again all the time she is thinking she is pretty funny and won't hold still for anything. So I took the diaper to the garbage so that she wouldn't want to try and eat it. When I got back she had done some more all over my bed. A big pile of CRAP!!! So nasty! Oh well in the words of my cousin Ali, "it makes a good story though." =)

Helping with the Laundry

I put Bailee on the floor next to the laundry basket full of clean clothes and she decided that she wanted to help fold them. Actually she just took them out of the basket and rolled around for a while.

I need some advice

Recently, I found out that a dear friend of mine who I have known the majority of my life has left the church. This friend served a mission and has been active in the church all my life. I just recently found out that this friend chose to leave the church a little less than a year ago. I am confused as to what I should do. We talked for a long time and I told him/her that I was happy for them if they were happy. Was that wrong to say? I told them that I would be their friend no matter what and that I don't have any room to judge. I am happy for their happiness, but I ache inside knowing that they have no desire to return to the temple one day. I ache to know all the blessings and truths that they gave up to go a different direction in life. I love this friend with all my heart and I don't know how to deal with this news. I haven't really thought of anything else since I found out. Please to anyone out there please give me some advice help me to know what I should do and how to get over this huge boulder in my life. Thank You!

Bailee Bottle Break-Through

Well I gave Bailee a bottle of water yesterday, and she did pretty good with it. So today I thought I would try it again, but put formula in it. To my surprise she took it pretty well. I didn't nurse her it was great. I may be able to finally get my chest back to myself!








It only took about two hours for her to actually drink 1 full ounce! (sarcasm) I don't care how long it takes I am just happy she will actually finally take a bottle. I was afraid for a while that I would be one of those parents who has to breast feed until the child is in Jr. High! Yuck!


After Bailee's nap I gave her the rest of the bottle and by 4:00 this was my result!

UH-OH SPAGHETTI-O

Bailee really enjoyed her Just for Toddler's Spaghetti-O's for dinner tonight I just had to share with the world!





The spaghetti-O's have big chunks of meat in it and Bailee doesn't tolerate it very well so I had to pick those pieces out.

Oquirrh Mountain Temple

Today my mother-in-law and I drove to The Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. We had to stop at Nate's work on the way out so his boss told him to go with us. It was a nice little family outing. We went to Subway for lunch afterward. I had never been to an open house before. I remember when I was about 12 years old I spent time volunteering at the Bountiful Temple, putting booties on peoples feet as they walked in, but I never actually went in with the tour. It was a great experience. If you haven't gone yet I would suggest it. The open house ends on the 1st. For anyone who is interested go to lds.org/reservations for tickets and tour times.

24th of July

On the 24th of July Nate and I took Bailee to the Bountiful Park for the fair. She was a little to small to go on any of the rides by herself and they wouldn't allow adults to go on most of them. So we enjoyed going down the slide and sharing a blue raspberry snocone. Boy did she enjoy the snocone!
















Later that night we went to Amber's house for games, snacks, and fireworks. We ended the night with a little American Idol Kareoke. Amber and Sandy were a hoot to watch! We had a lot of fun just being with family and trying to teach Grandma how to play Phase 10!

Bountiful Handcart Day's Parade

Thursday night Bailee and I went with my family to the Handcart Day's Parade on Main Street in Bountiful. I hadn't been to the parade for several years. It was a lot of fun to be able to spend time with my family and Bailee really enjoyed it.





I had to laugh at the outfits that these people are wearing, because it is the exact same uniform that I wore when I worked at Lagoon! Yuck!
