Woman's Conference

Kyler is sleeping on my chair so instead of waking him up right now to put him to bed, I thought I would write a post about the amazing woman's conference I went to today!
There was wonderful food, music, classes and people to be around! It was just what I needed to get myself rejuvenated and back on course to being a better me! My mom came with me and it was so wonderful to have her there with me.
The first part of the conference was classes. There was 6 to choose from and we each got to go to 3. It was so hard to choose which ones to go to because there all looked so good. the first class I went to was on incorporating exercise into everyday life. She gave us a sheet with a 100 ideas to a healthier lifestyle. I have had so much fun looking over it. Here's to me getting myself a healthier lifestyle.
The second class was on finding the spirit in your home. This was probably my favorite class! I learned so much. Some of my favorite things I wrote down are
**What you sacrifice, you'll gain
**Dont let someone else's actions control your actions.
**Do what the Lord wants and everything else falls into place.
**Always remember the eternal perspective
**I control the atmosphere of my home, make it one the Spirit wants to reside in.
It was so uplifting and made me feel like I can help my family become closer to the spirit!
The last class I went to was on family time. The theme she revolved around was Love is spelled TIME. It was really good. I got lots of ideas how to make my time with my family more productive and help us grow closer together and with the Lord.
Next there was a speaker. Sadly I didnt get to hear too much because Kyler was tired and I was getting him to sleep. What I did get out of it was to look up even in tough situations.

It was an amazing conference and I learned so much. The spirit was so strong and it was wonderful to be around so many strong women that I admire. Kyler even loved it. He was so good through it, mr. happy baby. I think that we should have something like this more regularly! I absolutely loved it and have so many goals to work on.
Well I better get the little man to bed but I was just so excited about my wonderful day I had to share!

5 months

So this is a couple weeks late but mr. Kyler is 5 months old! He is getting so big! He is 16 lbs 4 oz and 26 inches tall. Personally I think he is taller, the lady seemed to be shrinking him on the table, but thats just my personal opinion. I can't believe how quick he is growing up, he will be 6 months in a week in a half!! oh my! more about our little man:
*He loves to investigate things! You have to beware what you have by him because he will grab at it. His favorite are hands and faces. He loves figuring things out!
*He is sitting up! For about the last few weeks he has been sitting up by himself and he has become so good at it. He loves when we go shopping that he can ride in the cart. He loves to look around.
*He is a social baby, especially to baby girls. I can always figure out when there is a baby girl in the room because Kyler wont take his eyes off them as he talks to them. Oh boy, I already have a flirt on my hands.
*He loves food! His favorites that we have tried are squash bananas and avocados. He loves when I mix foods together and will eat almost anything with rice cereal in it. He dislikes peas and peaches but will eat them with rice cereal. Such a silly boy. We've given him a sippy cup a couple times which he loves, which is so crazy since he HATES bottles.
*He is such a happy baby! I always get asked if he is always so happy and the answer is yes, most of the time he is. He loves to laugh and giggle. He smiles at almost everyone! :)
*He has started teething which means long nights for mom since he gets up a lot. We both cant wait until the tooth pops through! He is always sucking on whatever he can find and usually my shirt has drool spots on it. I'm kinda crazy and kinda like it-it just proves i'm a mom! which is the best job ever!

We love our little man and cant believe how quick he is growing up! It was this time last year that I had my first appt with the dr and we heard his heart beat. Its crazy how much has changed in such a short time but I wouldnt change any of it! Kyler is such an amazing blessing in our lives! :)
