Thanks Darin!

Darin's blog was a nice birthday surprise! Although I think we could have done without the pictures...now you all know what he has to look at everyday on the webcam!

I can't believe I am 27 years old...only 3 more years and I am 30!!! CRAZY! Yesterday was a fun day, I am glad that I got to spend my birthday with my family. I wish Darin could have been there too. I started the day bright and early by attending the temple. (thanks mom for tending Nash) I was lucky enough to ride over to Monticello with Michelle, Jay and George Jones. They were so nice, the minute I stepped into the car (at 5am) they started singing happy birthday, and presented me with brownies and breakfast! What great friends! I haven't been to the temple since before I was pregnant....TOO LONG! It was nice to sit in the temple and look around and see so many familiar faces. I love living in a small town! Too bad everyone in the room was asleep because it was a 6 am session.

I think I seriously ate all day long yesterday. After the temple, I went to breakfast with my parents, some friends from Arizona and my Grandma and Grandpa Cosby. Later we went out for dinner with my brother Kedrick, my parents and friends. Needless to say I LOVE to eat so it was a great day. For this purpose I am so grateful for Michelle for running every night with me!

Yesterday was a big day for Nash too...he turned 3 months old! I think he gave me and himself the best birthday present ever...he has finally learned how to fall asleep with out screaming or being rocked. I give the credit for this accomplishment to the advice of my friend Stacy as well as the aide of the book "Secrets of the Baby Whisperer." I have read several other books, but this one seemed to fit my mothering style. I have decided that knowledge really is power. Let's face it I have no clue what I am doing as a mother and it is a blessing to have some help from others. My family continues to make fun of me for reading a book to learn how to be a mother. But hey if it will help build my confidence I am all for it!



Thanks to all the comments, emails and phone calls to wish me a happy birthday! I love you all...especially you Darin you made my day! Keep up the hard work, it will all pay off in the end!

Ryver's getting better- but for the most part runs from me, or makes his annoying "Frankenstein" face when my cams out. Ugh. Anywho! I loved Darin's blog, it was so sweet of him! Awww! And books are great for moms. I mean- how many times have your REALLY heard someone say- "I wish babies came with a manual." Well.. HELLO! They come with lots!! haha.. luv ya!

Happy B-day Christina. I tried to call you, did your dad tell you? We have been painting Kadee's new house since Wed. non-stop, getting home very late! I thought about you on your birthday. It sounds like you have a very nice day and lots of people thinking of you!
Nash just keeps on getting bigger and cuter every day! You can see in his pictures that he is happy. He's a doll! Reminds me of...ME! LOL!

I hope you had a great birthday!!
Wow, I can't believe you went to the temple that early, I am such a slacker, that is really early! But I am glad that you had a good time. I think you need to enter Nash into some cute baby contests (I know how much you love those, haha). Seriously though, he is soo cute!
