What is Blogging?

I thought I would do one that reveled something about myself- rather than just Brock. (I still exist as a separate person... I think anyways??)

My thought for the week is... What is blogging??

At first I did it to keep up with family, old friends, and my ward friends that are moving to all ends of the country.

Then I thought, "Blogging is nigh unto journalling" - right? Can I really pass off my blogging as a righteous endeavor, am I keeping my family history? I have decided... yes. I'm going to print them off and keep a hard copy - now I can claim to keep a family history. yea!

But as with everything - opposition in all things. I have discovered the negative to blogging. I think we all want to post our "best selves", our vacations, beautiful houses, fun trips, cute babies, and brag about our wonderful lives. And while that is all well and good - I find myself thinking that every one's lives are glamorous and mine is...well...not. I find myself being envious and thinking, "if we just had more money" or "if we moved" or "if we were older".

So there you go. My thoughts on blogging. I think it is wonderful and fun- as long as I keep it in perspective, and count my blessings everyday.

If you have any insight - please leave a comment - I would hope I am not the only one with internal struggles.

(oh yea - it has improved my typing skills) :)

Just For Fun

I think he looks so old in this picture.

Farmland

I swear to you he was happy - I just could not get him to smile at me!



We went to farmland at Thanksgiving Point this week. For the life of me, Brock would not smile in the pumpkin patch. But I think his non-smiley face is cuter! (Only a mother's love...) I am so excited for next year when he can actually do all of the fun things, and he will have a fun time. But for now, I just pretend he has a good time. Luckily he is a good baby so i just take him everywhere.

Go Bengals! Go Michael!

Mother's group

The mother's group (well the ones at that activity)




For another mother's group we went up to sundance and walked around. It was Thursday so I had Payton Bell with me (Karli and Skyler's cute little boy). We had a great time. I just love the other mother's in my ward and it is so wonderful having a day to get together with them. Brock is getting so good at sitting and he also likes "playing" with other babies. He feels their faces and tries to hold their hands - it is so cute.



My life in a few years (Or on Thursdays)

These two are going to be great friends!
(Brock's like "Waz up yo")


So cute!

My friend Jess takes GREAT pictures. Thanks!!!
