Our Trip to Idaho

We drove down to visit my parents a couple weeks ago and it was so great to see them and for Hailey to see them again. The last time my parents saw hr she was only a month old! The drive down was good we stopped and stayed in hotels and had a blast. The ride home wasn't as nice because we drove straight through. We are so lucky to have such a relaxed child - she just chilled for most of the 10 hour trip and watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on her little DVD player. She was such a good baby! Mommy and Daddy had a rougher trip and we were glad to get out of the car after 10+ hours. My parents are so wonderful and I cannot explain the blessing they are in my life - I have the greatest parents in the whole world and I miss them so much! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for a super fun time - WE LOVE YOU!!


My poor baby girl got her first really big owee :( She loves cats and she wanted to sit with Elvis (who has never hurt a fly) and he decided he didn't care for the little thing that was the same size as him and attacked her face. I have never heard cries like that before from my girl - it broke my heart. We are so lucky he didn't get her eye!! She was fine after about 10-15 minutes but mommy was still a wreck - I hate seeing her in pain. She is healing quickly though and it doesn't seem to phase her one bit - and she still wants to play with kitties so it must not have traumatized her too much.

Other than that it was a great trip - I will post more photos soon but I wanted to post something quick while Hailey was napping.

Paranoid Momma

I know I am not the first mom to be paranoid about their child getting hurt but sometimes it really gets to me. I can literally work myself into a frenzy worrying about everything that could happen to her. It's not normal things all of the time either - Scott laughs at some of things I can dream up. I have horrible visions of her being carried off by a wild animal and I will never see her again or an eagle will come down with giant talons and carry her away. It sounds silly when I write it down but my imagination can get the best of me sometimes. I just look at her and know I would just die if anything happened to her.

She has found this new serious side to her personality and I love the looks she gets on her face, she concentrates so hard -I just could watch her all day long!!

To add to my paranoia, she can stand up all by herself and is trying to walk - now I get to imagine all of the falls she could have on top of the realistic fear of an eagle swooping down :)

I love our baby girl!!
