Gila Valley Temple

My mom and I went to the open house for the Gila Valley temple.  It was a long trip just to walk through the temple, but we thought it was worth it.  It is so beautiful!  I walked around with Ben in my arms, since he needed time out of the car seat.  He couldn't get enough of the chandelier in the celestial room!  I wonder how thin the veil really is...


Yes, I did feed him right before the temple tour and no, he did not spit up onto the spotless temple carpet.  THANK GOODNESS. 

He Sits!

My baby is growing way too fast.  He had his first taste of rice cereal on mother's day.  I think more cereal came right back out of his mouth than was ingested, but was so excited for something new. 




I can't wait to give him new flavors and to see his reaction.  He's getting the hang of it now and just gobbles up the cereal.  Next week he has his 6 month dr appt and we'll see how big he officially is. 
He is sitting on his own now, too.  He still falls over after about a minute, but he's sitting up straighter than he used to.  It's hard to get a picture because he usually falls by the time I get the camera out, but it's been fun trying.


Mother's Day

This year was my first official Mother's Day!  It was wonderful.  Alex bought me a bouquet of tulips and some chocolate.  Mmmm...how I love chocolate.  At church we got more chocolate.  What more could a girl ask for? 
Everyday I appreciate my mom more and more.  She does so much and never complains.  She's amazing!  I love you, mom!
