Playing catch-up

So I can't believe that I have slacked so bad this past 2 months on blogging.... I't kinda like an online journal so I am disappointed that I haven't kept up with all the happs very well. BUT I will try and play catch up as best as I can.
  I spent all of September and the beginning of October in Utah with my family. I really needed some recoup time fo sheezy... I think more than anything I needed to get my feet underneath me after all the stress of the hospital. My mom and Dad and both my step parents really stepped in and helped me feel more confident in being a mother and helped me to be able to take much needed time to take care of myself.


* I got my hair chopped off


*I went to Hooper Tomato Days for the first time in over 15 years


*I got to take a 5 generation picture with my daughter, Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother


*Had a nice trip to the cabin where I took Kalea on her first adventure in the mountains


*I got to attend my Grandma Bell's 90th birthday party


* Even went on a overnight date with my hubby to Park City


 But the best day was the day we blessed Kalea;) We blessed her at 11am in the Hooper 3rd ward on October 9th,  in the same building that grew up going to church in. It was a very special day and Tim gave Kalea the most beautiful elegant blessing. We had so many amazing priesthood holders stand in the circle and it meant so much to me to have that for her. It was a wonderful day full of family and LOVE it was perfect <3

Here are some pics from her special day.



















 I was so happy to be with my family for so long. I didn't want to leave at all. Having a baby really changes the way you view the world in general but it really changed the way I viewed my family. I just realized that they are the most important thing in my life. I thank God everyday for them and I know that I am blessed beyond measure.


In more recent news ... this week Kalea started to teeth.... ummm WEIRD O_o  
What happened to my little tiny baby??? Well she is still tiny but holy cow she is growing so much!!! We really need to have a talk about that;)
