Happy Birthday to my Sister!
It is my sister's birthday! This post is going to be a shout out to her...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
My sister is AWESOME! I can think of a few crucial times in my life that were monumental in my growth and it was Danette who was there for me...
First of all, my first year at Ricks. I know for a fact that I wouldn't have made it with out her and her Inlaws. She took me up there and helped me to get settled. I distinctly remember going to the grocery store and being so overwhelmed that I started crying. Danette helped me through it all. She helped me get groceries and get everything organized in my apartment.
Another big moment for me was the fact that she was the reason I was able to drive to Utah with Chris. I was able to get to know him and know that he was the one that I wanted to marry during that car drive. I was able to talk to her about him and have a great heart to heart.
Another time, probably about 5 years ago...I was struggling with a lot of things. Danette is the one I went to and discussed everything with. She helped me so much. She shared with me the power of music and bought me some good CD's to listen to and even a CD player. She didn't judge me or critize me at all. Just helped me through it.
We have had a lot of heart to hearts through the years and she has always been there for me. I think everyone should have a sister like her.
Happy Birthday Danette, I love you!!!

I am on an emotional rollercoaster...
In my OWN opinion...
This has been a week. I am exhausted emotionally and that is putting it lightly.
First of all, Emily got in a 4 wheeling accident and was really hurt. She received 2 blessings and they both said that she would heal completely. I have faith in that and I believe in what was said.
When I first talked to her, I was glad that she sounded good and I could understand her. She said, "I have a goose egg." but she should have said, "I have half a grapefruit on the back of my head." Both of the Drs. that saw her today said that if she didn't wear her helmet, she probably wouldn't be here. That is scary. I am so glad that Hillmans had her wear a helmet. I might have been soft on that if I were there. Not good.
She had a hard day on Sunday and then I started to doubt. Not because of the blessings, but because of the things that people were telling me. I KNOW that it was intended in the best way...I know that. However, it was still difficult to process. At first I thought that maybe when the blessing said to seek medical attention for comfort and reassurance it was for me, but after the appointments, I realize the medical attention was for Emily. She is doing so much better now knowing that she really is ok. So, I am ok. I wasn't doubting, it makes me feel better to know that I really can and do rely on the Priesthood.
And secondly, there is another situation going on in our home, but I am not going to share the details right now. But it is one of the most DIFICULT things I have been through up to this point. I feel so, I don't even know the words...helpless...
I feel like my love is being questioned and my counsel ignored. I want so much for this to just be over. But the lessons have not been learned yet. The growth hasn't happened yet.
I think the best advice I've been given is to stay in the here and now. Don't think about the "what if's." It's good advice, it's really hard for me to do. For example, if my 2 year old were to steal a piece of candy, I don't need to jump straight to, he's going to be a thief and go to jail.
Again, I know my Father in Heaven is there for me and He will help me through this and I will be different when I get to the other side of this situation. I appreciate my family so much and I love them with my whole heart. Chris and I talked and talked and talked until 4:00 am. I am tired.

Andrew eating rice cereal. 16 weeks old
So, I hurt my back. Really dumb...just switching laundry and it went out. The funny thing is this...
I was walking, completely hunched over. I was walking really slow. Nico put his hands over his mouth and laughed SO hard. Then he said, "You look like a Grandma."
Another funny from Nico, he says, "I know my dea" (idea) He says it so excitedly. It is so cute.

Andrew
He is changing so much.
He is cooing all the time-it is the sweetest thing-EVER! It makes me so happy!
He does this funny thing-it's like a crawl on his back. He really can't move much but he has learned to kick his feet back then his head gets stuck back and he starightens out and repeats the whole thing. He got himself clear across the bed doing this. It is so funny to watch-because he is a baby and can't really do anything!
The cute blanket he is laying on is from my good friend Audra! SO CUTE!!!
