Blessings

We just got back from one AMAZING weekend with my in-laws. First we drove Friday to Brigham city and spent the evening with the couple of the weekend, Tate's sister Shanna her husband Kory and their 3 darling little kids. It was so much fun hanging out, eating and laughing and playing with the kids. I forget how much fun I have when I hang out with Shan, good thing I live alot closer to her now:) Saturday morning we all woke up and got ready to attend the Temple. Kory and Shanna were going through for the first time to recieve their endowment, and to be sealed together with their kids! It was probably the most amazing, wonderful, spiritual weekends of my life, excluding my own wedding of course. WE first got to go through the session with them, then go and attend their "WEDDING" of being sealed together and their sealer did such an awesome job, I learned so much just from him. Then they brought in their daughter Hannah (5) Olivia (1) and Owen (3months) in their pure white. To see their faces as those parents saw their children in the Temple with them is something I will never forget. I can only imagine their happiness and joy at that moment when they were going to be sealed with their children for ETERNITY. It makes me refelect on how blessed I am to be sealed to my Husband and my children for EVER and grateful I am for the Gospel, for the Atonement of my BROTHER and Savior Jesus Christ who makes it all possible to return and live with my Loves forever:)
Today, Kory blessed his son and did such a wonderful job. It was a weekend full of Happy Happy tears the whole time! I sure did luck out when I married into this family. I am going to be honest, I thought that I would never fit in, and would always feel akward around them, but that obviously has changed and spending time with Kory and Shanna really helped alot. I never thought I would feel the way about any one else as I do my own sisters, but luckily I feel that way about Shanna, I sure do love that girl.
Anyway, I am glad I am posting this, it's going to be great to reflect and remember what an amazing weekend this has been. I took my camera and was too busy crying, taking Kasen potty and talking to remember to take any good pictures, so I am mad about that!
Other news....I started potty training Kasen on Monday, so it will be a week tomorrow. In my opinion, being a first timer, he is doing pretty good. Although, he still WILL NOT poop in the potty, he hasn't had a pee accident for 3 days. So I have got to work on the pooing and we will be set. I have heard that it has taken quite a while for the poop to click, but I am hoping and crossing my fingers that Kasen just hurries and catches on:) We don't wear any diapers at night or any time and Ithink that has helped, even though it makes for lots of laundry for me!
He says the Funniest things. I find myself just being AWED at this little boy who I get the privelege and honor to be around all day long and hang out with. I wish I could remember and write down all the funny things that he says, but honestly I think that everything he says is cute..(most of it anyway) and I can't get enough of his little voice. I wish I could video tape everything and just be able to play it back whenever I wanted to.
I am growing like a weed and just don't mind, becuase I am really happy to be pregnant. I am hoping that this little awkward stage of the CHUBBIness will get over with and just get big already with a baby, not the fat:) I know I know, be careful what you wish for and enjoy the stage I am in....but seriously I kinda wish that already:) My little MISS is active and I absolutely LOVE LOVE being able to feel her. That is my ultimate favorite part of being pregnant and I love it. She is definately not as active as Kasen was already so that may be a good thing, maybe she will like to just relax and chill with me sometimes, instead of going 90 miles an hour all the time:) It is going to be fun to have a little girl. I went to the store the other day to buy boy underwear and accidently walked by the baby section...oh...about 20 minutes later I walked to the check out stand without any cute little girl clothes to buy, there is SOOO much stuff....It's kind of overwhelming for me! But, I am excited to get a few things here and there for her:) WE are liking Firth as of yet, I am hoping to get up and go to step class at 6 in the morning, I really need to, and I really love it, but I am definatly not use to getting up that early, so we will see! Speaking of which, it's already past 10 so if I am going to get up, I better hit the hay:)
