carson

carson is such a blessing in our lives. i seriously dont know what i ever did without him. im pretty sure hes going to be a heart breaker. he is now rolling over, almost sitting up, (he leans all the way forward), sleeping thru the night (he has since a month old...yes we are lucky), eating solid foods like a champ, laughing hia face off, jumping like crazy, ect. he is so strong and learning so fast.

today was our ward conference. of course i went to the youth meeting since im in young womens. but i really needed to hear the message given today. or at least the parts i got to hear. all day carson was hhving a blast. he learned to squal or i guess scream. so when he gets excited he screams. he seemed to be excited allll day and laughing and random people. anyway half way thru the youth meeting i had micah take carson so i could listen.

they talked about our weaknesses and how we are given them to overcome and be our strengths.  i have a lot of weaknesses, and i have been feeling overwhelmed by them latey. i felt like this lesson was for me. i know as i overcome my weaknesses and have them become my strengths i will be able to teach carson and my other children from it.
they emphasized to go over this with the youth continually.

the past year i decided i was going to be honest with my girls about my struggles and trials. i tell them things i struggle with now and stuff i struggled with at their age. sometimes i feel like it doesnt phase them and they arent listening. a few weeks ago carson had a screaminn fit in class and by the time his dad came to get him and he was calm...there wasnt a lot of time for a lesson. the girls told me they loved the experiences i shared and that i understood what they were going thru.

this made me feel so good. im so glad i can help these girls become better than i was. and hope carson will marry girls like my laurels. hopefully not my laurels...that would be weird. im so greatful for the knowledge i have. for the people i hhve in my life who love me and support me. im grateful for new experiences
and trials. im thankful for a husband who takes care of me and allows me to stay home with our precious baby. most of all im greatful for the knowlege of the gospel. knowing my family is forever. having the comfort of the atonement, and the great plan of happiness. im so lucky to have these things in my life. and the ability to become better.

i am so excited to watch carson grow, and make his own choices. im a lucky girl to have been blessed with his sweet spirit.
