Good Things To Remember

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel!
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. You have to agree that you are 'less' and that someone else is 'more' to feel inferior. If you don't agree, you cannot possibly feel inferior. You might know something less, or you might be able to do something less, but you ARE unique and hence simply incomparable.... Do not buy into being reduced to an object of comparison."

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brillant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

7 weeks and counting!

We only have about 7 weeks to go till we have our little one! I haven't quite figured out what else we need to do to get ready, but with the help of my husband, family and friends I think we might be close!

Ryan finished the corner shelf for the baby room and it is absolutely beautiful! It didn't take him very long at all. What a talented man!

Check out these super cute shoes! When we go shopping for the baby Ryan always seems to find shoes. Our daughter already has more shoes than me and she isn't even able to wear them yet!

And then there's these ones... Steph 'just had to get these'! We're glad she did. They are soo cute!

One of the Foreman that Ryan works with had a baby girl over a year ago and they are sure they are not having any more kids. They were so thoughtful and brought us bags and bags and bags of clothes! It was so fun looking through them. I wasn't sure what we would need and it was sooo nice of them to help us out!

Good ol Friends

Last week I had been thinking about Sammie one of my friends that I have known since I was little so I decided to give her a call. She had a baby Dec. 1st and I had missed her baby shower because I was sick and then I didn't make the time to go visit her and her new little one. I know, what a friend huh?! When I called her she said she was going to be at her sisters house in Kaysville on Friday and suggested that we get together if she had a free minute. We don't get together much or even talk very often, but when we do it is so much fun! We ended up going to dinner at MacCools in Layton with her sister and brother-in-law and we had a lot of fun! I am so glad that even though we don't see each other all the time, it is still so much fun and comfortable when we do! Her little Gauge is the cutest little guy and she is a great mom!

My Handyman

Ryan has been busy trying to get the baby room finished. When we found out we were having a baby girl we thought we would make the 'red room' the baby room. I found a really cute crib set that was red and was way excited we wouldn't have to paint. Well, it didn't quite work out that way. The crib set was a totally different color than the red wall... so Ryan got busy painting. We, well Ryan, painted the wall three times before we found a color we actually like. I'll tell ya Ryan has been so patient during all my mind changes! Thanks Ry!


Then came finding some furniture. We thought it would be neat to have a dresser that doubled as a changing table, but the ones we found were way too expensive. We found this cute dresser at Target and again, Ryan got busy putting it together. Then he thought he would get some trim and add a border to hold the changing pad.

After a looooong search for a corner shelf to go in the baby room, Ryan came to me with a drawing of a shelf he could make. That night he started building. The trim he is using matches the trim he used for the dresser. Wow, talk about getting everything you want! Ryan is so creative and having him make the furniture means a whole lot more than just buying it at some random store! Thanks again Ry! I am lucky to have you! I love you!


I'll post more pictures once the shelf is finished! I can't wait to see it done and in the room!

Quilting with Grandma

One Friday when Ryan was working a night shift, my mom came up and we tied a blanket for the baby. It is a really soft pink, blue, yellow and green flannel. She is now going to crochet around the edges to finish it off. For Christmas Ryan's mom also made a cute pink blanket for the baby. We are so lucky to have mom's that are excited for the arrival of their 10th grandchild. You think another child would be an old story, but they are just as excited as they were for their first! Thanks Moms! We love you both!
