Even though I have not been a mom for very long (3.5 months) I wanted to make a list of things that I have learned so far so here it is.
1. There is always time to play and read stories with Aspen ( no matter how many dishes are in the sink)
2. It doesn't matter if laundry needs to be done, when Daddy comes home it is family fun time.
3. Don't rush bath time, sometimes the baby just needs to splash.
4. Have a schedule, being on time to church is essential!
5. Let Aspen jabber, silence (peace and quiet) is overrated.
6. Make time for your husband, don't become good roommates. Stay up a little later to have time together with out the little one.
7. Always talk to your baby, they like the sound of your voice and it is never to early to teach them how to cook. I do most of my talking in the kitchen!
8. Let Dad do it, it doesn't have to be your way.
9. No one knows your baby better than you.
10. Aspen's laugh is all the reward I need to be her mom.
Those are the little things I have learned, and I have a lot more learning to do!


That smile is what makes my day. I wake up to that smile every morning, does life get any better?
Adrian took this picture. This is my new favorite thing to do, take a nap with my sweet Aspen! There is always room in my day to cuddle with her.

I am so proud of my husband! He helped put together an awards banquet for all student athletes at USU. Since he has been an athlete for the last five years I am sad that this is our last one, but very grateful too! The night went off perfectly it couldn't have been better! Go Adrian I love you!
