Carnival and a fun weekend!

This Past weekend was a lot of fun! My family came up on Friday and stayed the night at our house. The boys went and saw a movie and the girls stayed home and visited.. and had some yummy treats! The next day we went to the Orem Summerfest Carnival and had a great time! One of the only rides Alexis did was the Fun Slide. She went on that like 10 times I swear. Some of Jonathon's family was also there... It was so much fun to be at a Carnival and see the parade :) We stayed there pretty late and then went and stayed the night at Kelly's house. The next morning we visited a little longer... and then went to Jonathon's moms house for dinner. I was sad to say goodbye to my Mom, Dad, and Derek :( But happy that they could come spend some time with us! Last night we went to a park near Jonathon's moms house and played volleyball with his family! It was a lot of fun!! These are the only two pic's of the carnival I got because I forgot my camera... so I just took them with my phone. Oh well...

My little Lexi is gonna be 4 next month... I cannot believe it. I'm a little sad that my little monkey is getting so big :( I gotta start thinking of fun b-day party activities again.. I swear we just did this!!

"Before I was a Mom, I never tripped over toys, or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom, I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put them down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life SO much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. Before I was a Mom I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment, or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom."
