Us Against Them

Tate has had so much fun discovering some new, big toys. It's so fun to watch him light up and play with new things! Have I mentioned lately how much I love my kids? Because I'm seriously crazy about them! Dustin went into Baylee's room this morning because she was yelling for him. I laid in bed and listened to them for a minute before I got up. I love how smart Baylee is! I love that she is able to articulate and think through things on her own so well. As she talked with Dustin, her questions were, "Where's Tate?" (Still in his crib). "Where's momma?" (Still in bed). "Is it dark in the living room?" (I close all the blinds at night as part of bedtime prep, then open them all up first thing in the morning. So if Baylee wakes up first, I haven't quite made it to opening the blinds in the living room. So yes, it was a little darker than norm) As for the new toys with Tate, I got out Baylee's piano for hi...

     Conference was wonderful, as always.  I especially enjoyed it because I had a cool experience that I hope to always remember.  We went up to the Fausett family for conference and spent Friday and Saturday nights there.  I got caught up in the fun of being around family again and conference ended up skipping my mind, until Friday night as I started saying my prayers.  I knelt down and realized, "Oh my goodness, conference is tomorrow.  I should probably pray for something."  Then I knew exactly what I wanted and needed help with.  I finished my prayers and went to bed.       Conference started and I was tired, but willed myself to listen and leave the kids be for awhile.  I believe it was the very first talk when I heard a line that was like an answer to my prayers.  It stuck so peacefully in my mind, I knew it was meant for me.  It didn't even seem very relative to the rest of the talk....

     It was brought to my attention that I do not have a video up of Tate's crawl.  Thank you, Cam, I wouldn't have realized that I didn't have a video of it until it was too late, I'm sure.  Tate is now starting to get up on his knees and rock a little, but ultimately he still does the scoot thing.  He's pretty slow in the video, but when he sees something he wants he can be pretty quick!
