For Eternity

I love being in Young Womens!! I was in the presidency while I was pregnant and then released just before I had Hailee and just was recently put back in as an advisor. We combine all together since there is usually more leaders that show up than girls. Todays lesson was on Temple Marriage. What a great lesson.
We talked about how important it is to be sealed in the temple to your spouse and the important blessings you can have. We also talked about the differences that come when you are sealed in the temple and when you have a civil marriage. Being sealed to your family is one of the many great blessings that we recieve for all eternity. We talked about how "if you have the opportunity to be sealed and choose otherwise to marry for time till death and you still do what is right and follow the gospel, if you are not sealed you will have no rights to your family and will live alone." (Bruce R. McConkie) I can not imagine being without. I am so grateful to have the blessings of the gospel in my life and the blessings that it brings to my family.

Hailee's new bows

Hailee's new face when I pull out the camera "Oh no, Mom is going to try and make me smile for another picture!!!"

Popsicles

The first time I gave her a popsicle she wasn't too sure about how cold they were when she stuck it in her mouth. Now she loves them!!

Kangaroo Zoo

One of my friends took her daughter to Kangaroo Zoo for her birthday and this was the first time that I had heard of this place. I was with some other friends were talking about where to take their kids to get them out of the house. I told them about this place and said that it looked like it was fun, anyways, Angela called me yesterday to see if I wanted to take Hailee and go with them. It was so cool, they had so many things to do with different bounce houses and slides. Poor Hailee, she hasn't been feeling too well, cut another tooth and then some fevers and now a heat rash from the fevers. She seemed to be feeling better and she looked better too, so I took her to play. She really didn't want anything to do with much and just kinda looked around not wanting me to put her down. They had a big slide and so I climbed it with Hailee in tow and we slid down, usually she smiles or laughs, nothing from her. We just let Andrew play while we watched and then Hailee just waved bye, I think that she wanted to go, so we left and she took a nap. It was fun to go and play, they have a black light mini golf there too. So we will have to go back when she feels better!!!

9 month stats

Hailee had her 9 month check-up today, she is a growing girl!!! She weighs 17lbs 12oz and is 27 1/4 in length. 3 months ago she was 16lbs and 2oz and 251/4 inches long. She dropped from the 60% to 30% for her weight and went from 50% to 60% for her length. Looks like my baby is starting to loose her cute little rolls and is growing taller.
