Funny story about this picture...Leah has on Briggs jacket at the rodeo. Reason being, that she pooped through all of her clothes and didn't have anything else to wear.
Us on our vacation in the hotel

how cute she fell asleep with her little hands laid so "proper" haha

Baby equals Busy

Wow I didn't realize how much my life was going to change with the new addition of a baby into our family. Everyone told me that it was going to be different but I just didn't believe it for some reason. My day is filled with caring for Leah and also trying to find time to care for myself. I love being a mom, it is the most wonderful feeling in the world. Kevin has been doing so good adjusting into "daddy" role. Leah loves her bath and loves to be held. She has started to smile and make eye contact, I love when she looks at me and smiles.
So.. Leah had her baby blessing on the same day as her cousin Briggs. It was a great time having our family all together for this. I am so blessed to have a husband that is able to give our children blessings and thankful for that. We also took Leah on her first vacation. We went to Oakley, ID for the pioneer day festival. We went with my sister and her family. It was a great time and I have a new found love for rodeo's. Leah did good on the trip, I on the other hand felt stressed most of the time. It was hard packing for a child in addition to myself, I also had to get over my fear of breast feeding in public. I have to say it wasn't so bad. Oakley was a cute little town. On the trip Kevin had to shoot a bird (he had to to make sure it was dead and not suffering) it was so sad. Kevin and my brother in law Aaron got to play most of the time. I am still healing from the c-section, sadly the incision is not healed yet. Kevin says I have a "weak" body.
In other news my sister in law, Amy, got married this month. She was a beautiful bride. I wish that Kevin and me were able to attend her wedding but with a new baby we couldn't make it out to New York.
