Conference Weekend

During Conference I always think "What was going on in my life last Conference weekend?" and "What will be happening in my life next Conference weekend?". Well, I can tell you exactly where I was last Conference.....in the hospital.

It was Anita's (my Mother-in-law) Birthday on Saturday April 2nd and Andrew and I were getting ready to welcome little Charlie into the world. I remember Andrew and I driving to the hospital so excited, nervous, anxious, scared, and ready to have this baby. We went in to be induced at 8:00 and everything went smooth and pretty quick. I was ready at about 2:00 and six minutes later Charlie was born! He weighed 6 pounds 15 ounces and was 19 3/4 inches. It is hands down the neatest day I have ever experienced! I was so grateful to have my husband by my side the whole time. I was also grateful for my Mom and everyone that came to the hospital to see our sweet little bundle of joy. What a fun weekend to have a baby (and not to mention on his Grammy's Birthday)! I thought I would watch Conference while we were waiting for things to progress and of course watch it on Sunday too. That whole weekend I only heard bits and pieces of one talk....but I will always remember where I was during the spring session of General Conference 2011, and there was no other place I would have rather been.

Happy six month Birthday my sweet Charlie!
You bring more joy into our lives than we could have ever imagined.
You are growing so so so fast and we love it and hate it all at once.
We love you more and more each day :)

Who do you think Charlie looks like?

              Do you???

Happy Birthday Andrew!

It was Andrew's Birthday on the 14th and I just wanted to write down a few reasons why my husband is the best.

*He is my best friend.
*He makes me happy.
*He is the best Dad I have ever seen.
*He makes me laugh.
*He is always helping me. He helps me with dinner, cleaning,
grocery shopping, yard work, laundry, taking care of Charlie or
letting me have some alone time :) and much more.
*He is a very kind person.
*He never talks bad about others.
*He makes me feel pretty.
*He is a hard worker.
*He is very thoughtful.
*He is a very good present giver.
*He is a good friend to others.
*He is driven.
*He has a lot of talents.
*He is a family man.
*He is so good with kids.
*He enjoys life, and is grateful for each day.
*He is MY partner.

There are many other things that I love about him. One of the things I love most is that we have more TIME together and we can raise our son together. I love that Charlie will be able to have his own list of reasons why he loves his Dad. I love you Andrew and I am so grateful that we got through this last year together. Happy Birthday.
