SPRING FEVER!

It's coming! Spring is on the way, and I have a really bad case of Spring Fever! So does every other mom in Utah because we were all at the Zoo together yesterday! We went with lots of family and had so much fun! Boston didn't make a peep while we were there. I think it helped that he took a nice snooze in the stroller! I sure love the Bears, Monkeys, and Giraffes, but I HATE the snakes!

It sure is fun to be a kid again!

Boston

Boston finally has a tooth! Yay!

I'm afraid he will be like me and not lose his first tooth until 2nd grade. This caused a lot of emotional stress for me as I was never able to put my name on the kindergarten or 1st grade tooth charts. By second grade, no one even cared that I lost a tooth. Oh well, at least the tooth fairy still cared.

Walmart + Camera = Funny Pics

Sometimes it is just fun to be Random.

"Today" gets a wave!

So I was feeding Boston his cereal this morning while watching the Today show and all the sudden Boston starts waving at the T.V. I looked to see what he was waving at and they were showing all the visitors waving to the camera on the set of the Today show. I started laughing right out loud, my son thought he was getting his own personal hello. He sure loves his new talent of waving.

Bad Habit

A little girl a month younger then Boston taught him this new trick at church a few weeks ago. I am amazed at how much they can already learn from their peers.

Love

8 Months Old!

People kept telling me that it will go fast... I didn't realize how fast! I can't believe my little guy is 8 months old!

Wedding Fun!

Jeremy's best friend from elementary school was married on Saturday. It was so fun to be invited along for the day's events. I do have to say there is nothing better then a temple marriage. It just seems their is more happiness, more love, and more committment. Of course the best part is when the words"for time, and for all eternity" are spoken. I am so grateful that I can be with my family forever through the blessing of the temple.


Camille, Jeremy, Dustin, Ashley, and Jen (Jeremy's Sister.)
We had some down time between the weddding and the luncheon, so we rode trax down to the Gateway to cruise around! Doesn't Jeremy look so...well...different with his haircut! It's growing back though, Yeah!
Boston was able to play with Grandma and Grandpa Rogers and his cousin Taylor while we were gone! (Thanks a bunch!) Boston thought Taylor was so funny, especially when he sneezed! Boston did go to the reception with us, and I do have to say he looked pretty snazzy!

My Hero, My Sister, My Natalia

Tomorrow, February 5th will mark the 2nd Anniversary of my sisters death. I don't blog about this to make people sad, I do it because it is therapeutic for me. Although, I think we could all learn a thing or two from my sisters example.
Oh how I miss her, she truly was my best friend. She always gave people (including me) the benefit of the doubt and never judged them. She was a shinning example to me as she read her scriptures and wrote in her journal every night. Even up camping, or at a sleepover.
She always loved family. Whether that was the one she was born into, or the one she married into. She always had time for family. If someone needed her she was there. She was always trying to make sure everyone was nice to each other. She was the peacemaker.
Our family isn't the same without her. We have this hole that will never be filled until we are all together again. It is now up to us, to live our lives worthy of that great privilege.
Natalia wanted nothing more in life then to be a Mom, and she was blessed to have that privilege before she left giving birth to Logan and Mason. Although she was only with them for 13 very short months of their life, she took every advantage of it. She would always drop anything to play with her boys.
Matt and Natalia had a amazing relationship. They loved each other so much. They were very faithful in going to the temple every month, which I think helped that love grow stronger.

I miss Talia. I miss singing with her at the piano, I will always remember her beautiful voice. I miss playing games with her. She always made sure we played exactly by the rules... but she always made it fun. I miss watching her and Matt being so in love, and her caring so deeply about him. I miss her saying "you are so in the box!", or "your in my bubble!" I miss watching her play with her twin boys, making them laugh like no one else could. I miss her just being here to talk to, to laugh with, and being able to watch her shinning example.
*
I hope we can all reflect today on Natalia's life whether you knew her or not, and pick one thing she did that you could work to do better. Such as reading the scirptures, attending the temple, giving people the benifit of the doubt, making time to play with your children, or loving your spouse just a little bit more. I think that would make Natalia happy, and that is what I want very most for her.
