The Big Cheese
Yesterday Grant attended church for the first time. We dressed him like a stud! He picked up tons of ladies in his handsome vest. After church we had a photo shoot! We got him to smile and we got it on camera! Such an amazing task we have accomplished!

We are horrible parents!
We are horrible parents because we find such humor in our son doing #2! He gets constipated and so when he does finally go it takes a great deal of effort. His face goes red and his nuckles go white. He grunts and moans while his parents laugh! We are mean I know, but the pictures we get are funny! (Well, we think they are.)
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
We would like to thank all of our family and friends that have been so very generous! We have received many darling blankets and outfits. Thank you for thinking about us! It means a lot to our family!
Thank you Aunt Joan and Uncle Kent for such a cute sleeper! (Don't worry mom wiped the milk off my face before it got on my jammies!)
Thank you Britney for making such a nice soft blanket for tummy time!
Thank you Aunt Erin and Evelyn for such darling turtle outfits!
P.S. Grant hasn't quite grown into some of his other outfits we have received. We will post pictures when he can wear them! Thanks again!

Best Week Ever!
Last Saturday we got to hang out with some good friends of ours from St. George! We had a great time! It was so fun to catch up with them. Max is getting so big! He is absolutely adorable. Thank you Bob and Shayla for visiting with us! I was on a high all weekend because it made me so happy to visit with my good friends and so on Wednesday when our friends from Arizona called us I couldn't believe it. I am really sorry that Alex lost his job and really glad they moved back to Utah! Wednesday Alex, Karissa and Mya came up to Logan and so we were able to meet with them and Ben, Shauna, and Cole! We had so much fun! I love catching up with old friends. It is sad to think that we saw each other on such a regular basis when we all lived in the good old 52nd ward! Now we all live so far away! Hopefully we can do something again soon!
Bob, Shayla, and Max!
Alex, Karissa and Mya!

Thank Heaven for the Little Things!
I have only been a mother for about a month and already I have a new appreciation for the little things in life! Here are some of the little things I took for granted before I was a mother and now I am truely thankful for every day!
Before: OB/GYN's must have been crazy to do what they do! What a weird and creepy job!
Now: I hope there is a special place in heaven for anyone who is willing to sacrifice so much to bring our children into the world.
Before: If a public bathroom was clean-great!
Now: If a public bathroom has limited amounts of tile on the wall-wonderful! That is less echo my child's screams make and less stares I get when I leave the restroom!
Before: Anything less than eight hours of sleep was being completely deprived!
Now: Any opportunity to get to shut my eyes for more than one full second is very much appreciated!
Before: The thought of a catheter was a very scary thought!
Now: The thought of a catheter is a beautiful thing! I think all pregnant women should get a catheter put in at about 8 months along. We could have cute little pink bags to disguise the urine so we could still go out in public. Kind of like portable oxygen tanks only cuter!
Before: Eating dinner with my husband was a daily occurance.
Now: Being able to eat together without one of us holding a screaming and hungry baby is a real treat!
Before: Pregnant women were all kind of cute in their one special way!
Now: Pregnant women look terribly uncomfortable and miserable and any woman who is pregnant should get many special privileges!
Before: To rock, sway and bounce my leg required conscious effort!
Now: To NOT rock, say and bounce require conscious effort! I catch myself swaying, swinging, bouncing and doing all kinds of other "baby calming" techniques whether Grant is in my arms or not. In fact yesterday, I was rocking his car seat with my foot and he wasn't even in it!
Before: Mom's who were willing to stay home full time were good women!
Now: Any woman who stays home with her children full time should get special tax breaks from the government because it is more than a full time job! We should have mother's day every day! Bring on the gifts, cards, and special treatment we deserve it!
Before: My arm muscles were rarely used!
Now: I am very grateful for my arm muscles and their ability to lift my 9 pound baby hundreds of times throughout the day!
Before: Motherhood was a chore!
Now: Motherhood is a blessing! I love my baby and I wouldn't trade him for the world (note: it is not 3 AM and he is currently not crying)!!! I am grateful that I can have Grant in my life and I can't imgaine life without him!
