True Love Is....

Being a mom and a wife have really showed me what true love is.  

Here are a few - 

 True Love Is.......

Letting your baby stick her finger in your nose (repeatedly), just to hear her laugh.

10 Loads of Laundry a week....WOW! What is it like for those of you with 5 kids??

Your husband still wanting to kiss you when he gets home from work, even though you haven't showered, put on any make up and you are still in your PJ's....oh and there is "baby gunk" all over you.

The way your baby lights up and gets so excited when you walk in the room.

Changing the most disgusting diaper, that your baby just had to put her hands into (yep, were talking a poopie one), and then kissing them and loving them up and still thinking they are the cutest little things ever right after your done. 

Working so hard all day and coming home to a sleeping family that you just spent the day providing for. (Thanks Hubba!)

Eating the soggy gross cracker your baby has been munching on for the last 5 minutes because she decided to share it with you, and you want her to learn good principles.

Fishing the poop put of the bathtub after your baby got a little "too relaxed".

Picking big juicy boogers out your your babies nose so they can breath better. (sometimes in public.)  I use to think that was disgusting when I was younger and would see my sisters do it. Now it seems as natural as smiling :)

My hubby taking me out to dinner, when I am just too exhausted to cook or do one more thing.

Attempting to be romantic with my husband in the aforementioned state that I am in when he gets home, and him still thinking I am beautiful, and wanting me anyways.

Oh there are so many more, but I won't be boring and keep going. 

Thank goodness for True love, and being able to love someone unconditionally through all there faults! 

Whats Up??

Brooke looking through the baby gate at us, one of her favorite activities.

Singing with the Wii.

She loves to take all the books out of the box a lot more than read any of them.

Bath time ranks as one of her favorites. Thanks for all the fun bath toys Grandma!

Well I have been pretty bad about Blogging lately so here is a catch up of all that we have been doing.

Jason - Jason has been a busy bee at work lately. He is doing great and loves his job, and he amazes me with how well he deals with all the responsibilities he has. Within one month of taking over his building , he took it from the worst month they had ever had to the best month! I could not be anymore proud of him. He is such a perfect husband and I really could not ask for more. Other than work it is really just about us and his calling and the poor guy barely gets the sleep he needs.

Brooke - Brooke is just the cutest girl on the planet! Her little personality is coming out now and everyday she is so much fun to watch and play with. A few new things she is doing are; really funny fake laugh, a weird noise that can't be explained but is hilarious, and her favorite thing to play with is the white cap off the toilet, a sock, or a Wii remote or microphone. She still is a crawling like crazy and really hasn't showed any interest in trying to walk yet. She is a very happy baby and she keeps me very busy.

Natalie - Well let's see my life is basically watching Brooke and cleaning. Sometimes that feels like that's all I do and life seems very mundane at times, however I do love it. We bought our iMac computer and it has been fun finally making all of our video's into DVD's. I have also decided to take up teaching dance again, and although I am not doing it in schools, I have decided to offer free classes to anyone in our ward or stake. I am so excited to start again because I love teaching kids dance and getting to see them learn and accomplish new things, Plus it is totally fun!! We also decided that we needed to move closer to Jason's work so that Brooke and I could see him for the 2 1/2 hour commuting time instead of him driving everyday. However as we looked for homes we really didn't like anything. Well except that we found our perfect house in Walnut, CA. But at a mere $1.3 Million we decided just to stay here for the next few years and suck it up. (Although I am ashamed to admit we actually seriously considered this as an option for about a day and a half! What were we thinking??) I am so happy to stay here, but it is bitter sweet because I really miss my hubby some days and Brooke doesn't get to see him sometimes at all. Thank goodness I know we have the rest of eternity to be with our families, otherwise I don't know if I could do this! Well that is basically all that we have been up to. We love our life and couldn't ask for more. 

I couldn't help but add these cute pics of Brooke from this past week. What can I say, I have a weakness for cute babies......esp. when they are mine:)

I can't believe my baby is 10 months old!

Well it seems as though another month has just flown by, and once again I am left here scratching my head as to how my baby is growing up so fast. It still seems like I just gave birth to her a few months ago, but in just two months she will be turning one! I really have enjoyed watching her cute personality evolve, and there are so many cute things that she does that I just LOVE. Here are a few of them in no particular order.

. I love the way she smiles.

. I love her big blue beautiful eyes.

. I love the way she crawls so fast when she see's something she wants. (esp. when its me).

. I love the way she pulls her toys out of the toy box with such gusto and with so much force.

. I love her laugh/scream that she does when she is happy.

. I love her smell.
