Sleep talker

My Rob is a sleep talker. The first time I got to experience his random nightly talks was on our honeymoon. He was talking about opening the curtains so he didn't have to leave my bedside at the hospital.....

We had this conversation a few nights ago:
Rob: There is only one hole for it and that's all you get!
Me: For what?
Rob: Heads or tails
Me: Who are you playing with?
Rob: The indians on that team.


And my favorite...this was last week

R: Mama loves to spank me
M: Um What??!!!
R: Grandma loves to spank me too
M:...ummm why??
R: The scripture dropped
M: What? Where?
R: (He's annoyed at this point) In the laundry basket!!!

You can't make this stuff up! Lucky for me I have had the privilege to be awake when he is saying these things. I fall back asleep laughing. I wonder if Carson will talk in his sleep? He giggles in his sleep :)

Top 10 moments in my life so far

-The first time I performed in The Nutcracker. The stage was my happy place.
-The day my little brother was born. I was 10. He brought such a new joy and happiness to our family.
-The day I met my amazing husband. I get butterflies just thinking about it :)
-The day that husband told me he was in love with me.
-The day I went through the temple. Amazing.
-The day Rob and I were sealed. Forever.
-The day I found out I was pregnant.
-The day we found out it was a boy!
-The moment my beautiful son came into this world.
-The first time that son of mine looked me in the eyes and smiled at me.

What are you top 10?

(These aren't in order, that't why I didn't number them)

Getting real.

Ok, time to open up.
About a year ago Rob and I really started to struggle. We were not getting along. At all. It was so hard. Both of us were unhappy. We were so conflicted and confused. We knew what we were supposed to be together. We knew that Heavenly Father brought us to each other for a reason and we knew that we were sealed for time and all eternity. To question that is not fun. It's pretty heartbreaking actually. We felt so disconnected and distant from each other. We were growing apart and we were growing apart fast. I didn't know what to do. Rob didn't know what to do. We were both having thoughts of calling it off. Finally after many, many tears, fights, making up and then fighting the next day we went to see the bishop. He referred us to a counselor. I made the appointment. At first I was a little reluctant and skeptical but then I decided to be open minded because I love my Rob and I wanted to make it work. Rob was a little reclucant too.
We have been in counseling for 6 weeks now and we have never been better. I think the issue was, we are both very young and really didn't know how to be married. Our communication was really. We have now learned how to communicate better with one another and listen much better. I have never been happier in this relationship and neither had Rob. We feel so close and so in love. We still have disagreements sometimes but we both know how to work it out and get over and smile and be happy. I know without a doubt that Rob is supposed to be my eternal companion and the father of my children. I am grateful that we are getting through this now. I know that as we go through life we will run into many more struggles and trials but we will face them together.

Married friends: Have you ever been through this? What do you do when you are having problems? How do you reconnect that love?

Love

I woke up and saw that Rob had left me with this little scavenger hunt. 1. Where the games are played---the TV
2. Where the 2% never gets cold (inside joke)---the fridge
3. Where the baby plays---Carson's play gym
4. Where I write stuff down---notebook

When I opened it up I had this wonderful letter :) I love him

Guess what one is broken...

This is what happens when I chase Rob. I stub my toe on the leg of Carson's swing. Ouch!

Carson

I can't believe that my baby is already 3 months old!! It makes me sad how fast time goes by and how fast he is growing. Here are some of his latest....

He loves chewing on his fists and fingers
He is 17 pounds and wearing 6-9 month clothes
He HATES his swing here but loves the one and my moms...they're exactly the same
He is sooo chatty. I think he likes to hear his own voice
He only takes a few short naps during the day but he is a good sleeper at night
He loves when I sing in silly voices and really likes when I sing Katy Perry "Firework"
He has stinky feet
He LOVES getting a bath
He has only had 1 blow out
He rarely gets fussy
He has started to grab for things! I'll hold his binky in front of him and he will reach out and grab it!!
He likes to hold my hair and touch my face
He LOVES Rob. Every time he sees him he gets a huge grin
He has a fake cry and it is really funny and cute
He also fake coughs
He is super tooty! That kid has no shame
He cries every time we sing a hymn in church
He is starting to only want to be held by me

Carson is such a joy! I LOVE every minute I get to spend with him. I am so grateful that I get to be a stay at home mom. I am loving the stage he is in now. It is so fun to watch him learn and watch him develop a personality! I LOVE BEING A MOM!!

Wow my blog is REALLY dusty!! Anyway, I was thinking about my Rob today and wanted to post all about him.
I love him so much. I love that I met him when he was a missionary. When we tell people that they kind of raise their eyebrows and look skeptical but we both know that it was nothing wrong or inappropriate and we both know that it was just the right situation for us. I love that the moment I saw him I know without a doubt that we were to be together forever. I love that when I prayed about it my answer came immediately. I love how respectful he is. I love how hard he works for our family. I love his energy and enthusiasm for life. He is so happy and a joy to everyone around him. I love how devoted he is to me and Carson.
We got married very young. That being said, we have had some ups and downs. There have been very difficult times but we have come out of those stronger and more in love then ever. I know that we will have more hard times but we will face those together. United as one.
He is an incredible father. He is so involved and helpful. Carson adores him. Rob loves spending time with him. He is always willing to change him, feed him, bathe him, hang out with him so I can nap and so much more.
Rob, you are my soul mate, my other half. I need you. Forever. You amaze me. Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for taking me to the temple. Thank you for giving me a beautiful baby boy. You're working today, tomorrow and Sunday and I miss you. Working 36 hours in 3 days is a lot! I can't wait for next week when you only work 2 days! I love love love you. Forever.
