end of Week2

Weekends suck. Alan was mine on the weekends and now he's not. GGRR! Nobody in the ward seems to care whether I'm alive or dead. I wonder how many other ladys feel like this? No visiting teachers or hometeachers. I'm just hanging out here. I'm going to see if I can get a visiting teaching route so I can hopefully help those who have fallen through the cracks. I'm afraid though because I've never really been that good at visiting teaching. I guess it's time to learn since I hate how I haven't had any support. I can really see why some people go inactive.

Now I have stated all the bad. Here's some good.

Moroni's smiles help uplift my spirit everyday and I know I have to be strong for him. He laughs when I shake my hair. He thinks it's SO funny. :) He rolls over all the time. Only one way but still it's exciting. He likes the vibrating bee his Aunt Manda got him. He hasn't figured out how to hold it quite it but he's working on it. He likes being moved from station to station. He is now 14lbs.

We heard from Alan. He's still traveling to Taji but he's doing alright. He says it's really muddy. LOL
Have a coupla friends that invite me over for dinner during the week. This is always fun.

15. Spiritual Music that uplifts and strengthens so I can get through the night and next day.
16. School for the challenge of learning and making my mind stronger.
17. Alan's voice whenever I hear it it's like his hand is caressing my face. (probably because it's in my phone. hee hee)

Look its Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon LOL Just kidding. Interesting how the little man got into the pic. Had no idea he was in it till I showed the Daddy.LOL

He didn't want to look at the camera.


Mom why are you taking more pictures of me?

I think he likes sleeping on the belly. What do you think?



Dork DOG

He likes the bouncer we got him though he's still a little wobbly in it. He likes the frog the best. there is a mirror underneath the frog and there are rings on either side that he pushes or pulls up and down. He generally spends a good 10 mintues looking and playing with that section. The other sections he's not so sure about or can't figure out what he's suppose to to do with them yet.

Love's the toys Auntie Raina and Nana gave him.





He was nice and warm so he passe out. LOL! This was in AZ for the Holidays


Thank you aunt Raina and Nana!!

The Moroni

The Moroni PASSED OUT!


Ok SO Craziness. WOW where to start? I have taken two math classes. Poor Alan had to suffer with me. Love you BABE and you did help. I was excited I got a week off during the holidays. YEAH! Moroni got sick which was really scary. He ran a 102.7 fever. We gave him tyDavid and Grandpa gave him a blessing and by momorning he was ok. Of course I was freaking out. I got a blessing too. and it calmed me. The plane ride was alright. I got thrown up on. Didn't on the way back. YEAH! Moroni weighs 13 pounds now. HAven't checked in a few days which would require me to step on the scale EEK! He is Four months old.wow. Frodo is as jealous as ever. Alan is gone. He sits in Virgina waiting for the 26th to fly to Kuwait then Iraq. 6months. Since he has been gone, the portable air has gone out and been fixed thanks to our neighbors who have been pure ANGELS. The sewage line has backed up, but has been fixed. I've been sick. I started a new class that is exhausting. Not fun at all. Moroni has been doing this thing where if I am stressed he crys if I put him down then wants to nurse all day. Can't be mad because he actually calms me down a lot. I have an infestation of roaches which I really need to deep clean but have no idea who to ask to help because I'm not so sure about my ward. It seems like every time I ask for help they want payment. $. *sigh*For my Birthday, Alan made me eggs. HE got me this frame that has a scripture on it about love and some angel wing earrings. I love that man he always makes me feel good. whole. I have been trully blessed to have him.Can't wait until he comes back. We got the e-collar from David and Amanda for Frodo so he doesn't pull me any more YEAH!! We have a TON of clothes for moroni as he gets older. My house is trashed. *sigh* In Arizona we got to take pictures with both of the families. We also had Moroni's Baby Blessing. Thanks to Those who came and we missed those who didn't. Aunt Denine made Moroni a little afgan for his carseat. Thank you Aunt Denine. There is more but I don't remember it all right now so as I remember I will write it in. Thank you.
