Which "team" are you on?

Seeing as though it is the eve of the release of the last book in the greatest series ever I thought I would give a little shout out to my feelings about certain matters in the book. I know that the rest of the world has read the Twilight saga way before me, but I finally got around to reading it and LOVED it! So I just wanted to let my friends and fellow blogger's know where I stand and which team I'm on. I am on team Jacob! Yeah that's right, I said it! And for these reasons...
1) He loves her so much.
2)They were best friends, then fell in love. Edward and her were just in love, the friendship came later. And it's always good to be good friends with your loved one.
3) He can grow old with her and she does not have to die to be with him!
4) He is human, sort of.
5) There is obvious passion there from the kiss they shared
6) And she can't live without him!

I am aware that there are reasons to be with Edward also. I too love the way he loves and protects her, but so does Jacob. And my last and final reason that she should be with Jacob over Edward is this.. In the movie, the guy who plays Edward is freaking ugly!!!!!!!!! Not how I pictured him so that makes me not like him that much less! Sorry, that's just how I feel.

Family "reunion"

This weekend my side of the family had a little get together that included all six of my mom's children. This had not happened in many years for one reason or another. Anyway, it was really fun to see Hannah run and play with her cousins. I never remember having this much fun when I was young with my cousins and it's something that I don't want my kids to miss out on. We got to go to Disneyland with some of them too and it was really nice to be with the kids. I just really appreciate my family and doing things for my kids. I'll do anything to see them smile. And since Scott didn't get to go, it really made me miss him and appreciate what a good father he is and how much he loves our babies! Some kids are not that lucky! My nieces are so darn cute too so it was a blast to see all of their personalities. Family is so important and I wish that some of my family knew that! The picture with the Mickey Mouse balloon was so funny, Hannah did not want to let it go so she held onto it for dear life! And from the front all you could see is Mickey's head, Hannah's feet and arms! It was a funny sight to all those who passed by!

Leah is two months old

Leah is two months now, actually on the 13th, but we have been busy! She still hates being in her car seat, but when she is not in there she is so happy. We can get her to smile now by just saying her name. I love having a mommy's girl since Hannah wasn't really. Leah is so sweet and lovable. We really are blessed to have such sweet beautiful girls!

"Goin' to the Temple and we're gonna get sealed!"

Yay!!!! We made it to the temple. It was such an amazing experience. I love my husband so much, but there is something that I saw in him today as we were being sealed to each other and our girls for all eternity that made me realize how much he means to me. I am so lucky to have such an amazing family and I feel so blessed. Hannah was so good during the ceremony, she was escorted in after we were sealed, along with Leah, and Scott and I both lost it. When she walked in it made us both cry happy tears and she looked at us and said, "Oh you so cute mommy, you so cute daddy!" and she was stroking our arms as she said it. It made us all laugh. We have had a great three years of marriage and these girls have made life so much better and now we know that we are going to be with them forever. I am so honored to have such an amazing husband who is the best father to our precious angels. And to have these two people who I love more than life itself be sealed to us feels safe and reassuring. Having our friends and family there to share in our special day made it so special. This truly was the one of the best days of my life! Meeting my husband, having my children and today are days that I will never forget and treasure forever!

Temple

Wow this week is full of great things! Our family has come such a long way and it feels amazing to know that we are doing the right things and we are doing it together! Scott and I have been working for three long years to get where we are now and it's awesome to know we are doing what the Lord wants. On tuesday I had the privledge of recieveing my endowment. It was a great experience and I can't wait to go back to Gods Temple to do more of his work so I can better understand and learn more. It was an amazing day!

Leah's Blessing

On this past Sunday Scott blessed Leah. It was such a awesome day! Leah looked absolutly precious in her dress my mom made. And she did so good during the blessing. We thought she would scream the entire time, she has a tendency to do that when Mommy is not holding her, but she looked at her daddy and smiled the whole time. It was so sweet. And our friend wrote down the whole blessing, unexcpectedly, and that was nice of her to do because now we will always have those words for Leah. It was such a great day to start a great spiritual week! Our family was here for the day and it was so much fun being able to share this with our loved ones especially since some of them never thought that we would be here doing these wonderful things in our lives right now. I know some had their doubts, but we are here and doing it!

4th of July

Independence day is my favorite holiday. I love the colors and the fireworks, and eating BBQ is the best part! The girls and I just went to my parents house, Scott had to work, as usual. We just hung out, very low-key. Hannah got to see the fireworks and she loved them! She was so amazed and interested. I did not even watch them because watching her face and reaction was way better than anything. I love watching the world through her eyes! I feel so lucky!

Scott's Birthday

Scott's birthday was on the 30th of June and we had a fun day. Although Daddy is not much into birthdays, or any holiday for that matter, Hannah and I made it special for him. It was so much fun including her on the festivities. She helped me make a cake, she loved licking the batter, and she made him her very own card! When he came home from a double shift she sang to him and she gave him his card and cake. She had more fun than him I think! We just kept it simple especially since he was going on 48 hours with no sleep! We went to dinner and he got his steak and lobster. It was a great day all around! I'm so happy that Hannah was able to make his little surprises so much more fun!
