Haillee & Sebastian's 1st Memorial

Fortunately, we arrived a little early for the Memorial it started at 9:00 PM. We had a very good Memorial talk given by our Presiding Overseer. The kids were very good and we got to hear the entire talk. The only reason that I got up was to feed Sebastian and he was done before the emblems were passed. Didn't everyone look so nice?

My Best Friend

Five years ago I did something crazy. I was thinking in my head, 'What are you doing?!!! There's no turning back now!' My hands were sweaty and I felt a little dizzy. At the same time I felt like I was doing the right thing. And then someone whispered in my ear, 'Don't even think about running. The bathrooms have no windows. And besides, I can catch you.' Although I knew you were joking by the smirk on your face, it made me a little nervous again. But, mostly it made me even more sure of what I was going to do.

I never thought that I would be this happy. I guess you could say I owe it all to you...if your vain enough to say so.

Five years ago Jerry and I got married. March 6, 2003 was the exact date. To me it was just Thursday. Not that it wasn't special but, we decided to get married so quick we just decided, "Hey! Let's forget all this planning and get married on Thursday." We didn't even tell my father until...gulp, that Sunday. Boy was he surprised! ( I didn't say happy, I said surprised. LOL! Don't worry the entire family loves him now.) Through the years it has been proven true I made one of the best choices back then, than I've made in all my life. I really, truly have married my best friend.

Jerry. You are there to listen to me, to talk to me, to keep me motivated and much, much more. Thank you for all you do. I truly feel appreciated and loved more that I've ever imagined. You still end every phone call with 'I love you' to me. You still buy me flowers at the spur of the moment and you still make my heart skip a beat when I see you. You even made this anniversary feel special when our plans were changed. I couldn't imagine being any happier with any one else. I love you and I love OUR family!

First Food

Well this was the day. Saturday, February 23rd, 2008. They had there 1st taste of food today! Sebastian has been devouring bottles and seeming very interesting in our meals so we decided that it was time. I made him some homemade cornmeal porridge, thanks to the recipe that my friend Sandy gave me(Thanks Sandy).

Sebastian's first taste

At first we were only going to feed Sebastian since he's been taking 5 1/2 to 6 ounce bottles every 3 hours. Haillee is nursing or taking 4 ounce bottles at the sitter's. Once Haillee squawked at me I knew that she wanted in too. Here are some pictures of them devouring the porridge. The 1st time I didn't give them enough. But, now we have the hang of it. Haillee still is a little pushy. Grabbing our hands to shove the spoon in her mouth or snatching at the bowl. Sebastian however, chooses to savor the flavor and taste the food. They are as different as different can be.

Haillee grabbing at the spoon

This bowl is special. Alisiya made it herself in her Art class. Art is her favorite subject. If you look closely you can see her initals, A.W., on the side of the bowl.
