Farm :)

She is such a cutie!

We went to the farm today, to help my Grandpa Ramsay load some hay. Well Derek and his friend did that part.. Alexis and I just sat on the hay! Alexis had such a good time and kept saying that she was a cowgirl! We even got to take the dogs and they got to run around.. There was so much room to roam free I don't think they even knew what to do with it! It was fun to get out on the farm :)

We've stayed pretty busy this week in Monticello. I took Alexis swimming at the new pool here.. She is free, so I'm sure we'll go a lot! She had a blast :) We've gone to Blanding a couple of times.. the first was to get Sorcia a present for her B-day and then today we went down after going to the farm and ate Chinese food. The drive seems so fast because I'm used to driving everywhere from Saratoga Springs... So to get to Kelly's house in Provo it would take us 45 mins. So the 21 miles to Blanding is nothing. We've been down to my Grandma Josies to visit with her! Sorcia and Izzy have been over to play and last night we had a BBQ with Sam, Ami, Sorcia, and Izzy. I also got to see my Grandpa and Grandma Ramsay today.. and I haven't seen them for a while.. So far it's been fun!

"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."
