Car Seat

We used the same infant car-seat for all of the kids. However, after Sadie was done using it I sold it. I sold it because we had bought a travel system and I didn't like having the huge stroller kicking around the garage. We didn't have that much room in FL and we never used that stroller. It was bigger than the double that we have. Anyway, since I was selling the stroller I figured that I would sell the matching carrier also. Then, if we had more kids, I would just by a new seat.

In a brave move last week, I bought a car seat for the baby. I noticed on-line that they were selling last years "models" to make room for this years and thought, maybe the stores would be too. I went to Babies-R-Us, but they only had pink ones on clearance. Sadie really wanted to get the baby a pink one, but I had already been told by Henry that we couldn't get a pink one. So, we went next door to Burlington and got a boy one that was a floor model on clearance. This was a leap of faith, (but since this pregnancy has made it 10 weeks longer than the last) and hope that the baby will actually come home this time. Here's a picture of the one we got.

Thank you notes

I'm not always the best at writing Thank You notes, but I try. This year the kids and I sat down the week after Christmas before they went back to school to write them. Of course, I haven't gotten them sent yet. Here is one that Samuel insisted we do.

It's a Small World

So, I have been scanning Ben's mission album today. This picture is from one year before we met at the Hill Cumorah Pageant. His family came out to see it and he had this picture taken with 2 of his younger brothers with some cast members. This is where it gets to be a small Mormon world. In the background on the far right is a girl in a striped dress...this is my little sister Emily. Behind her in the white t-shirt is my cousin. How funny is that? Exactly one year later Ben and I met at the Hill Cumorah. Now, maybe those of you who have heard that I thought my husband was 16 when we met will understand.

What a Journey

Ben, Thanks for the great journey so far....

Before marriage

Ben's out of town and I was browsing a friend's blog. She has posted a picture from a high school dance thinking she wasn't at her best in High School. (You know who you are Trish.) I have been busy scanning all of my old photo albums and pictures and thought you might get a kick out of this.

Thanks for the dress Julie...

And here's one for you Trish! Thanks for the memories.

Please be kind when comparing these to the post from Henry's baptism and remember that I am pregnant.
