What happens in Vegas...


They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas but I had to show everyone Bill's new tattoo. We had such a awesome weekend with friends this weekend. There was six of us hanging out in Vegas. I was the only one that did not get a tattoo. It wasn't because I don't like them. I just did not have a clear idea of what I would want and where it would go.

Bill's got his tattoo to remember the struggle we went through to have Ethan. He got Ethan's name on the back of his arm and the cross and crown on the shoulder. The verse in the cross says that through Christ all things are possible. This is our family verse for so many reason but we are most thankful that He made it medically possible to have our beautiful son.

Sunday Afternoons

Nothing is better than taking a nap on Sunday afternoon. As long as I can remember I have taken a nap on Sunday's. My husband has always hated this little tradition. He says that I wasting time that I could be productive. He just says this because he doesn't like to take naps. Since the birth of my son naps have almost been obslite. If there one thing that I miss since becoming a parent is naps and sleeping in. Don't get me wrong it is well worth the trade...but I do miss them.

This Sunday we had some fun in the Sun. We went on hike and played in a stream which Ethan loved. I have posted some cute pics of Ethan Playing in the stream.


He such a boy he loves dirt, rocks, anything that makes him dirty.


We had a great day. I guess Bill is right somethimes. It is better to be active.

First Time

This is my first blog. I love to read other peoples blogs and so in doing so I thought I would start my own. I am not much of writer so you will have to forgive all the grammatical error. They say that blogging is the new way to journal. I remember when I was in grade school and we would have to journal for 20 mins. I would always write about my pony Bandit. I loved him so much and would day dream about riding him after school. Oh how simple life was back then.

I love my life. I am a stay at home Mom. For years we struggled to have a child. Because of lots prayers and Invitro Fertilization our baby boy was born Oct. 11, 2006. I truly have enjoyed every minute of being a Mother. It is challenging some days but it so worth it. I thank God for allowing me to be a mother.

In the next couple of months we will be going through the process of Invitro Fertilization again. I am excited but nervous...it will bring up all the emotions that go along with process. Until you are there you can never understand the emotions that arise. Please be praying for us as we start the adventure again. We have 4 embryos literally sitting on ice until we are ready. In the next couple of months I am sure I will be blogging more on the issue. Thanks for listening
