just smile all the while/shots

Ryah has been nothing but smiles lately. It has been so nice/fun! It really does make everything worth while. she is now 2 months old and getting so big. I can't believe how fast she is growning. she loves her daddy. Her eyes follow him around the room if we are getting ready for bed or follow him if he is anywhere in sight. I guess she is going to be a daddys girl because he can't get enough of her either. (neither can i)..she's too precious...Her smile will brighten anyones day. we love her so much... today we had her two month old dr. appointment....it about made joe and i both cry. I made Joe come with me because she was getting her shots...man it was such a sad thing to hold her hands down and let them give her shots. She was being so good too..(she was deff. not smiling) then wham bam we left the dr's office with Ryah's legs looking like this... taz mania and hot pink bandaids stuck to her legs..
so sorry ryah...it is only for the best...we love you and just want to hold you and make you feel better.

My dear sweet Krista,

On this special day of August 14, I want to wish you the best birthday ever! You are always the one to remember everyones birthday...and of course some how...everyone always forgets yours.. Except for Jeff of course. I still remember when we were at Lake Powell on your birthday and like in the middle of the afternoon mom rememberd...and went to town to buy a cake.. sad sad. BUT I will never forget your birthday now. It is engraven in my head. Krista you are the sweetest, prettiest, funniest, most kind person I have ever met. I remember when you would come home, I would get so excited because you would do my hair and share your cloths with me. And you were always excited to do those things with me. Krista you were always the one who I loved hanging out with, even though we are like 6 years apart you always made me feel like your equal. Plus you are hott hott so you always got attention and it made me feel special for some reason?? haha weird. Big sisters are the best. {You are the best.} You and I have always got along great. and over the years you have become one of my best friends. Thank you for always making me feel so special. You are so special.. I have so many great memories with you. I remember at girls camp my first year..I was watching you during the skits just thinking...I want to be just like Krista. You are the best example. You know that when you get called to speak in stake confrence when you are a senior in high school! krista you are everything good. - loving mother of two...-the loud sound of fun when i'm trying to sleep..-the icing on the cake...-the flower in the desert...-the hope for a crowded room...-the light in an empty space...-the love in a hardend heart...-the peace of mind we all hope for...-you are you..
