Look at those adorable chunky cheeks! He had it easy sleeping the whole hike and then just hanging out once we got to the lake! He'll probably appreciate it a little more in a few more years!

We went hiking with my in-laws this weekend up to Albion Basin. We had a great time hanging out at Lake Catherine for a few hours. Isaac was a champ! I think he enjoyed his first big hike...

Motherhood...

You can never describe what it means to be a mom until you experience this amazing phenomenon for yourself...I love this little tiny person more then words can explain. I find myself kissing his cheeks hundreds of times a day. When I leave him I feel a part of me is missing. From the moment he arrived in my arms I felt that something that was missing in my life was finally here. And I didn't even know I was missing something...Being a mom is the most natural thing, I love that when he is crying in someone else's arms, I get to be the one to take him and soothe him until he's done crying. I never would have guessed I could survive on so little sleep. Some nights I only get an hour or two, and yet life goes on, and I find strength from within that I didn't know I had. I feel so blessed that my heavenly father would trust me with this special spirit and I pray every day that I will be the best mom possible for him.
