Florida

Sorry I haven't posted anything about Florida yet! Were all moved in and settled and enjoying the sun! Tim is loving school which is so great! We really like our apartment and our ward.Tim's brother Aaron and his dad were so great to help Tim move all of our stuff across the country! We are so grateful to them for their hard work, it was a long drive! My parents flew out with me and Conner and helped us unpack and get settled, and we were so glad to have them here! We are a little lonely :-(.... Me a little more than Tim, he is lucky because he can make friends at school! But I know(hope) I will make friends soon! We are having a lot of fun spending time together as a family, just the three of us! Enjoying the beach, our apartments pool, new restaurants and shops, and lots more! Today we went down to St. Augustine Fl, it was the first place that was settled when Columbus found America. It was a really cool town, with museums, and little shops. We went to Fort Marion which the Spanish built to protect their land. It was cool to walk around, and there were lots of little shops and treat places! YUM! And it's right by a beach. We had a lot of fun! We love and miss all of you! PLEASE come visit us! And if anyone has fun suggestions to do with a baby, since we moved away from all of our babysitters, send them our way! We have a hard time finding board games for just 2 people.. and were movied out!




Fort Marion, Conner loved being outside!

We pretty much have to get Conner dressed down to his diaper and hose him off after he eats his cereal! He gets it everywhere! For some reason he thinks he needs to put his hand in his mouth the second after you put the spoon in his mouth, so he rubs cereal all over himself! Its so funny, and he usually ends up getting it all over me too! Good thing its bath time after!

Its so funny, no matter where Conner is, if he hears that the tv is on, he will do whatever he can to see it! and he just stares at it! Conner is only 5 months old and we have to limit his tv time.. its bad.. usually we dont have the tv on if he's awake.. its so funny though, look at how hard he's staring

Mothers Day



I cant believe that this mothers day I can actually celebrate as a mother myself. Motherhood is defiantly not something that came or comes easily to me, I've had a hard time giving up my independence. A lot of times as a mom you feel like you dont have your own life, rather I just live in Conner's life, doing whatever he wants. I dont think anyone really knows the sacrifice and hard work that comes with being a mother until you become one yourself. But being a Mother is the most rewarding job you can ever have! The lessons that Conner has already taught me in such a short time are priceless. Conner has taught me unconditional love and patience, he has made me want to become a better person, someone that he can be proud to say is his mom. Becoming a mother makes you respect yours even more. I have so many great examples of Mothers around me, my own mom, my mother-in-law, my sister, my sister-in-laws, my friends, and the future mothers in my life. I look to all of you for examples of how I want to raise my children. Being a mom is a scary thing, we are the the number one example in our children's lives, they spend more time with us than anyone else. We have a huge impact on who they become and how they live their lives. I hope that I can raise Conner to become someone who is respected and is respectful to everyone that he meets. I hope my mom knows how much I love her! Happy Mothers Day to all you mothers and future mothers out there!
