Picture Post

Here are a few of the cute pictures of Leilah from the last couple weeks. Isn't her shirt in the first two pictures just adorable?! Our friend Kamee gave it to me at my baby shower. It says "Feed me or no one sleeps" !




LOST Finale


For the much anticipated series finale of Lost, we decided it was only fitting to go all out!
Boy did Leilah look cute at church on Sunday in her little Lost outfit that we made. Although not very many people understood, those that did enjoyed it very much! I thought the finale was wonderful and touching... don't ask Shawn what he thought; He didn't agree with me:)



Just like Daddy



letters to my life

After watching an episode of Jimmy Fallon, I realized that I love his segment of thank you notes that he writes. So, I took my own spin of that and decided to write some letters to my life... This may be a reoccurring post theme. It is kinda therapeutic:)

Dear Watermelon,
Thank you for being so sweet and delicious, and for welcoming summer in a tasty way.
Dear Little Herb Garden,
Thank you for finally sprouting, and giving me the hope of some very yummy dinners to come, and a little less money spent at the grocery store.
Dear Stubborn Strawberries,
Will you please catch up to your little herb friends?
(do you see the two tiny leaves?)


Dear Sales Man,
I'm sorry I couldn't buy magazines from you, but when you walk away from me like that my sympathy goes away.

Dear IRS,
When you send my a letter asking me to fax you something... turn on your fax machine!

Dear Cheap Diapers,
I might as well leave my baby naked.

Dear Sweet Shawn,
Thank you for motivating me to get off my patoot and exercise!

Dear Endurance,
Where did you go?

Dear Lost,
Thank you for six wonderful seasons

Dear Leilah,
Thank you for not crying in the morning, and for greeting each new day with a smile!

mother's day & blessing day

This is our beautiful princess on her blessing day! It was so special for me to be able to have her daddy bless her on Mother's Day. She has a wonderful daddy, and I'm so grateful for him and love him!
Her blessing dress was the one that I wore when I was blessed, and her cute bracelet is from her Great Grandpa and his wonderful wife Penny.


The Blessing was so special! First of all, as a total surprise my wonderful brother Jacob flew in from Florida! We were SO HAPPY that he could come! We blessed Leilah in the bishop's office. The bishop was there and other than that, it was only our families. I wish Jason had been able to be there.
I love Shawn and Leilah! I am so happy that we have each other forever!

Look at that gorgeous blanket!! Get this... My dad MADE it! Can you believe it? Amazing!


These are our Mother's Day pictures! I have always had the most wonderful mother, and I am so grateful for her! Now that I am married I have even more examples of wonderful mothers in my life. I love them all so much!
So, needless to say, I had the most wonderful Mother's day! I am so grateful that I am able to be a mother. I absolutely love it! Here are ten things that I love about being a mom:

1. Waking up in the morning to a smiley baby, who by the way, sleeps through the night:)
2. Rocking my baby to sleep
3. Watching her learn and grow everyday
4. Seeing her smile when she plays with her daddy
5. feeling the bond that I know we have already formed
6. Dressing her up like a cute little baby doll
7. When she carries on long conversations with us
8. The knowledge that I have that Me, Leilah, and Shawn will be together forever
9. The new experiences that await me everyday
10. Knowing that it is up to her daddy and me to raise her in the ways of our Heavenly Father

I Love you Leilah, and am so happy to be your Mommy!

Dr. York


My doctor throughout my pregnancy was amazing! Couldn't have asked for anyone better. We thought it would be great to get a picture of him so that someday Leilah could see who delivered her. Thank you Doctor York for everything you did for us!... Don't mind the light in the back. We all know what it's for, and I don't want to see it again any time soon :)
