Prunes
















So I am having difficulty getting Daniel to eat baby food. I honestly think he doesn't take it from me because I have the milk. He will take it form everyone but me. So I got this great idea to just let him get it on his fingers hoping he would put his fingers in his mouth like he does with everything else. Of course he put his fingers every place but his mouth. oh well better luck next time.

Swings




Daniel LOVES to swing. He kicks his legs and squeals with delight. It's his favorite.

Together Again

Bean came back to visit and this time Daniel is doing better with his favorite cousin. They took a bath and did great. I'm excited for them to grow up together. We love our cousin Bean.





First Bubble Bath

Eating bubbles is so yummy!!!!!















Daniel Loved his first bubble bath. It didn't take him very long to start eating them.

Frisbee Golf
















We went on a double date with some friends and played Frisbee golf. Daniel was in the backpack hanging out the whole time. He did great! He was born to play.

YIPPEE I'M DONE!!!

Today after 5 long years (I took a year off when I got married), several late night last minute papers and countless homework assignments, I graduated from Brigham Young University with a BA in Special Education.
I owe many thanks to my wonderful parents who after I graduated from high school that they would pay for college as long as maintained good grades and graduated. Sadly they funded more semesters then planned and most of my education. Also for their example, both of them graduating from college, my mom the first in her family. I love them so much and know that without their support it would not have been possible to make it all 5 years. My mom for her constant support and guidance and listening to me cry when I was overly stressed. For watching Daniel every morning this summer. My dad so willing to forward the hard earned money each school year. Wow I really have the best parents ever!
I also have to thank my wonderful husband David. I love him so much. We actually were able to walk together today. He didn't walk at his graduation so I got special permission for him to walk with me today. I am so proud of him for finishing school. He is my best friend and I couldn't ask for a better one. He lets me cry to him when I feel overwhelmed helping with hard math problems and most of all loving me through all of it. He is the best just in case you didn't already know that.
Daniel for letting me finish a life long goal. For allowing his mommy to be away from him so she could finish up her education. For being such a good boy at graduation. Yes he walked with us. We walked as a family. For his amazing sweet spirit and for bringing so much joy and happiness into my life and many others.
My in-laws for their support. Without them the second half of my internship would have been horrible. Leslie took the time out of her busy life to watch Daniel all but one day a week from 8 am to 4 at night for 3 whole months. Mike always willing to help and babysit at the last minute. THANK YOU!
Lindsie, Tyler, Jacob, Leigh, Reagan and Bryan for also watching Daniel this summer. I know he can be hard but they have done such a great job. I don't have to worry about him when he is with them. Thanks for always willing to help even at the last minute. I am so blessed.
I also want to thank my Father in Heaven. I know for a fact without him I never would have graduated. There were countless nights when I prayed for help and I know he answered my prayers. I know he knows who I am and knows my strengths and weaknesses. He loves me and I know it.
Thank You to everyone who has helped me. I really do appreciate it. I am so glad that I was able to graduate and receive such a wonderful education.
I AM DONE!!!!! YIPPEE!!
