Day 24: Olivia


Day 23: Sunshine Blessed Sunshine


Day 22 Story

Day 22 is a picture of a beautiful quilt. This quilt was brought to me by some sisters in my ward. Sister Smith and Sister Imlay came over on Wednesday and in Sister Smith's arms was a quilt. They sat down and started to chat. Then they unfolded the quilt and said some sisters in the ward thought you needed a new cuddle quilt, so we made it for you. I was overwhelmed by the love of these sisters. They had remembered a story I told in Relief Society about how much my grandma's quilts meant to me and that all of my quilts were pretty much worn out. So, they made me a new one. What an amazing gift. The even better part is that they taught me how to bind it and the 3 of us sat on my couch and hand bound the quilt. It was great to learn how to do that and to be with such amazing women.
Thank you thank you sisters in the 14th ward. Each day you make me feel a little better and teach me a little more.
What a blessing it is to belong to such an amazing church. Everyone that reads this, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is TRUE! There is not one person in the whole world that could change my mind because I know. My Heavenly Father loves me, my Savior died for me and because of this gospel my family is eternal and this sweet baby girl who is waiting to greet us is going to be okay. What an amazing gospel to be apart of. I love my Savior and my Heavenly Father and each one of you who has been angels in my life. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart for every prayer, every thought, every call, every visit, every treat, every dinner, every hug, and every bit of faith you have in this pregnancy and this sweet baby I love you.
Have a great weekend and thank you!

Day 18 & 19

Sorry no pictures!
I guess I got pictured out or something. Really my mom and Riley were here for the weekend and so I was entertained!
They go to my house on Friday and night and stayed until Sunday night. We had a wheelchair adventure going to Walmart! Riley pushed me around the store as we got school supplies, baby stuff, and more. It was great to get out of the house, but it wore me out quick. I am pretty sure I will be a Lacie marshmallow at the end of this adventure. :)
It is always fun to hang out with Riley. He is growing up so much and he reminds me of Tyler so so much. He is even starting to sound like Tyler. He would say things and I would have to look at him a few times to make sure Tyler wasn't at my house. He made me laugh so much and he was such a good brother. He was always concerned if I got up or anything telling me "I can do it, I can get it, what do you need?" I sure do love him!
My mom was amazing. In the world we live in right now I hear more and more stories of my friends crazy parents and I feel so bad... Don't get me wrong my mom is Crazy any of you who know her know that, but she is the best. She is so giving and loving to everyone. She came to my house and did my laundry, cleaned out my fridge and freezer, cleaned my kitchen, cooked for us and did the dishes the whole weekend. To here it seemed like nothing, but to Tayce and I it was amazing. It made me feel good that I had a mom that would help out my husband and me. She's a great mom and both Tayce and I are blessed to have her.
Overall I had a great weekend and Monday was hard to wake up too because they were gone. But, after my first melt down in 20 days I made it through and today is Tuesday! There is always sunshine if you know where to look.
Thank you all for caring and praying and being great friends. Good luck with school Riley and Mom and thanks again for all you did for us!
