Saturday is a Special Day

Lyla Brooke Rumsey entered the world this past Saturday. Tiff texted me at 6am letting me know that she was going into labor. Pretty sure it was Paul texting me back after that throughout the morning keeping me posted on the happenings. At about 11:30am, as I was driving up to SLC for my friend's endowment, I got a text letting me know that baby and mother were both doing well!

After the endowment, I ran home to change and then over to the hospital to meet this cute new baby! She was only about 7 hours old!

What a cute newborn! Does that even happen?! Welcome to the world Lyla! Congrats Tiff and Paul!

Temple Square

For our FHE activity we went up to Temple Square to see the lights, it was very pretty! I think everyone was on something and it turned out to be a pretty funny evening!

Quote

"Many who are spiritually sick; who have had an issue of sorrow and sin, lo these many years; who spend their substance on the things of this world-many such are within arm's length of the Lord and need only to reach out and take hold of his church to find his healing power."

~B. R. McConkie

Confessions

Ok, it is time to tell the world...well...all 5 of you who read my blog anyway. I have read the Twilight Series. Yes, I know, I was VERY against it. However, you must hear me out.

SO, I was at work one day, and my sister, Lisa, was texting me bugging me about reading Twilight. She had been against it until her friend, Heidi, made her read them. She is now a "Twihard." And when I say Twihard, I mean, Twilight ADDICT! Anyway, so she told me I woudn't be allowed to see her kids until after I had read them. That didn't phase me, because I knew she had no choice in that matter. Then she told me that she had it all set up online for all the books and the movie to be overnighted to me! I told her I was running to a meeting and not to do anything!

After my meeting, I told her that I would go buy the books if she would just NOT spend a million dollars getting that overnighted to me. She said ok, as long as I sent her picture proof that I got the books. And I did.

I'm not a sciencefiction person, but the storyline was pretty good and kept me reading. I had a hard time with her type of writing...especially the descriptions. I am for sure a "Team Jacob" and my sister is "Team Edward." It is pretty entertaining to bug her about that!

Anyway, since none of our family is really getting together for Thanksgiving, we decided to do a preThanksgiving celebration which included going to see New Moon on opening night with my sister and two of her friends.

I never get into these things, but it was pretty fun to do so for once, even if I was very much so the low key person there! (not to mention the only Jacob fan in our little group!) We also played Twilight Scene it and had Twilight chocolates. My sister did an amazing job as hostess and had my room decorated, and I even had a treat basket!

It was a fun time and the movie was a lot better than the first one...but then again, this is coming from Team Jacob ;)

....and they were bored no longer....

In case you were wondering how I spend my free time....

Showering

Here are some pics from the recent three baby showers I've been to....I know you've all been dying to see this!
We had a small shower with just the girls, which was nice to just hang out and open up presents!


Shower number two for Tiff was a bit larger...we thought it would be funny to touch her tummy!

Dany and Ryan are expecting their first little boy as well! Mom was still in town for this, so we were able to get the old clan together...

Isnt' Dany just so cute as a pregnant lady?

All growed up!

Colorado Family Time

Karlie and her son have been living in Colorado for a bit while her husband is at training. They are moving to Tampa in January, so I took a weekend trip out to Colorado to visit my 'other' family!

I got to play with Zanin and hang out with Karlie all weekend...what more can you ask for?

Check out that cute kid!

We thought this sign about chipmunks was pretty funny! I, of course, chased one! It was so good to hang out with the Drapers and the Smiths. It is just like going home again and they spoil me like crazy!
