Moab

So my work sends me to a 3 day training (UACOA conference) every year. This year was in Moab! I decided to take Samarah and both my parents went with me to watch her. She is such a good baby... not in Moab! my poor parents! she cried, no, screamed in the room and the only way she was happy is if she was walking around in her stroller in the hallways or outside. It shocked me because she is normally good for anyone who has to watch her and is content to lay on a blanket and play with toys etc. When I walked in for the lunch break the first day and both my parents sighed in relief, i knew she must have been hard.

All throughout conference people would come in and say, oh yeah just saw your mom pushing your baby down the hall, or i just passed your dad pushing your baby outside. She wouldn't hardly eat for them. I felt so bad! When I was in the room she did fine but going to bed the first 2 nights was rough. She just didn't like the hotel room I think! BUT she did amazing on the drive down and the drive home.

A bunch of Animal Control Officers and some spouses that came down went to a Tunnel on one of the days we got out of class early. My mom and me and Samarah went, its called Tusher Tunnel. Here are some pics!

New vs Used...and other things

I love used things. I love a bargain. I shop at DI. and get things off KSL. I love that people are willing to sell things for a bargain and other people can still get a lot of use out other peoples used stuff... but i must admit. It was nice to put together a brand new crib for Samarah and know that she will be the first one to use it! it is so nice with no scratches or stains.. Here is pics of the night we put it together...

And the finished project!!!!

Samarah did not like the noise i was doing to try and enterain her...

I love my baby girl!
