Easter 2011

Ohhh, how I love my baby. Look at that cute face! Honestly, she's the cutest little person in this whole planet.

I love Easter, I love going to church on easter, spending time with family, Easter egg hunts, Easter dresses & Easter baskets. But, I love my Savior more, so much more than all this stuff put together times 100. I am so grateful for the atonement & that Jesus suffered for my sins. No matter what I go through, I know that he has been there and knows exactly what I'm going through. I love my Savior and and I am so grateful for our faith.

How Do You Know?

I'm not stressing. I'm not worring. And I'm not thinking too hard about this.. but I am thinking too MUCH about it! How do you know, I mean 110% know for sure that you are ready for a second child? Especially all my friends out there with 2 or more kids?! Where Sum was a surprise baby there was obviously no plan that we had made up yet. We knew that we wanted kids, just not for a while. Raising Summer has been the most rewarding and best thing I've ever done in my life.. I would love to have more. Just not right now. Everyone keeps telling me "Summer needs a sister", "Summer needs a brother", "Summer needs a little sibling", blahh, blahh, blahhh.. YES she does! But I am so not ready. Not even remotely close. I was telling my friend the other day that I just don't feel like we've had enough "Summer time" yet. I'm not worried that I won't love the next as much as Summer like some of my friends have told me they were worried about. I'm not worried about the financial aspect. I'm not worried about how I'd work. I'm just kinda.. blah about the whole aspect of having another one. I don't want my kids to be 5 years apart. And I don't want Summer to be a only child. And I DO, I SO do want to expand my family. But I don't feel like I will be ready for another couple years! What to do.. Anyways, how did YOU know?

Two

My baby is turning two. Oh my goodness. I can't even believe it. Sum & her on again off again (they like to fight) BFF are having a double birthday party, they chose Elmo. Elmo? What the heck, I was thinking Minnie Mouse, Princess.. Whatev.. you only turn 2 once. Sum loves Elmo so it should be fun-tastic.

So my brain is overloading with birthday ideas. I already bought her this baby minnie mouse with a wrap around blanket. It's usually sold out so I was pretty stoked when I saw that they actually had it in stock.

And then I want to get her..

1. this adorable trike

2. this coloring desk

And I'm pretttty sure she might be getting her very first American Doll baby.. Her cousin got one for Christmas, when my mother-in-law saw how bad Summer wanted to play with it that Christmas morning I am pretty sure I heard promises of an American Doll "bitty baby" for Summer. Now i'm going to feel like a dummy if she doesn't end up getting one. : )

Who's excitedddd? Me!
