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!

This is Aspen on her blessing day. Grandma Drurene made the dress, just beautiful!

I am so proud of myself, I got Aspens hair in two ponytails at 8 weeks! She kinda looks like a cute little devil!

Thanks Aunt Mandy for the flower! It looks so cute!

The Pouty Face!!

Aspen is almost 5 weeks old now! I can't believe how fast she is growing, She is such a big grunter, she hardly ever cries, just grunts with a smile or a smirk to let you know what mood she's in and I love it! These are pics of her with her new stuffed rabbit from Aunt Lindsey in I guess my favorite outfit on her. She just looks so cute in green.

Aspen and I having fun playin dress up...

Gangsta Stylin' it with a beanie from Dad.

Aspen loves her cute boots from Aunt Lindsey and wears them every time we leave the house, afterall it is cold here in Logan!

Aspen Jenelle Bybee was born January 4, 2009 at 4:46 pm. She weighed in at 7 lbs. 6 oz. Thank you for everyones support! Aspen and Megan are doing well and are now home from the hospital.

Thanks to a wonderful mother who took time to throw me a baby shower on Thanksgiving weekend I was able to see a lot of family. This picture is for my sisters who gave me a stroller and carseat. This is me opening it since they were unable to be there.
I loved my shower and everyone was so gracious to get me ready for this baby girl! This diaper cake, mom and I made and we had a blast doing it, notice Linds that we used your ribbon you sent! Thanks again to everyone that made it a success it was wonderful!
