Beautiful Sabbath

What a beautiful Sabbath day it is today! It was wonderful to wake up to the sunshine pouring into my windows, and hearing my sweet baby girl just talking away in her bed. She is growing and changing so much and doesnt depend on me as much. I love it when she wakes up so happy.

Church was wonderful and the talks were great. The fellowship with those I came in contact with was amazing. I was lucky enough to teach a few wonderful young beautiful women. I am so thankful I have been able to watch them grow and prosper and strengthen their testimonies of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. They are all amazing and wonderful bright lights in my life. THey strengthen me and uplift me and I dont even now that they know that. I am pleased to be a part of their lives.

Warm sunny weather leads us to the pool at mom and dads. It was great day for laying out and getting a tan so that I can work on it for Florida.

I am so ready for our vacation to Panama City Beach. In 30 days from today we will be on our way and ready for relaxation on the beach for 4 days! It is going to be so great. I cant wait to take Maddie there for the first time! It is going to be so much Fun!!!!!!

Busy Summer

Wow where has this summer gone??? Serenity turned 10 and Maddie just turned 5 months. I cant believe how fast it is going. I am excited though that this summer has been a lot of fun. It hasnt been to hot so it has been nice to enjoy the out doors in which maddie really loves. It is nice to go outside and her be excited to be there. This month has also brought sadness as my Grandma Lacey passed away at the age of 95. As she has lived such a wonderful life it was totally her time for her to go to Heaven and be with Heavenly Father. She was the sweetest most loving woman I have ever met. The news was sad  and seeing my dad cry was also hard but knowing that we can have forever families, I was able to be comforted and know that I will be with her again and that she is serving a better purpose now. I am beyond thankful for all of the wonderful memories that I have of her.

So Serenity turning 10 makes me feel very old, but seeing her grow up over the past 10 years has been amazing! I am so beyond blessed to be her aunt and to be a part of her life. It was kind of sad that she spent most of her day at the funeral home but dinner and fire works after was a lot of fun and she seemed to really enjoy it.

4th of July was fun. Sean and Maddie and I went out to lunch at BWW and then we hung out at mom and dads followed by a cook out and then to Summitville for fireworks. Maddie was so into it. She didnt even flench at the sound and she just watched in amazement. It was awesome. 1st 4th of July was fun for her.

Maddie turns 5 months! How has time gone by this fast?? It is crazy to think that it has been 5 months since I gave birth to the most sweetest baby girl. I am thankful to watch her grow and as she starts to work on setting up and is becoming more independent i can hardly believe it. she is the most amazing little girl.
