Well, I honestly did try, but lately, blogging is the last thing on my mind. I still get on and check up on all my friends (which I absolutely love doing), but when it comes to posting my own stuff, I just can't get up the motivation! Well, I did pretty good with my weight during the holidays, but those cookies hit me hard! But now I'm back on track! :) I would love to lose some more weight this year, but we'll see what happens. We don't really have much going on around our house, just the usual. Braden is doing awesome at potty training right now and hasn't had an accident in the last week or so. I hope he can keep it up! He's talking up a storm now, and is starting to comment on everything he sees and he's starting to learn people's names, including his own. He's so stinkin cute I can't stand it sometimes! I had a friend over for a play date and her 5 month old was lying on the floor and all Braden wanted to do was lay beside her and he kept giving her kisses all over her face, it was the cutest thing I've ever seen him do! The funny thing is, he's only met this baby once (at least a week ago), but yesterday, he looked out the window and said "Jadyn"? "baby?" I couldn't believe he remembered her name! I guess he really liked her. Our hamster is still alive, but seems to disklike me quite a bit because I'm the one who has to scare him half to death when I have to clean his cage. Braden still likes to look at him and say "mamster".
SISTERS:
I have to talk a bit about my sister (Sarah). Growing up, we didn't really like eachother much. At least it seemed that way to me. But I never knew her all that well I guess, because if I had I think we would have been much closer. So we've kind of been "aquaintences" more than sisters until about a year ago. She started doing respite work for us (she gets paid by the state to give Jeremy and I a break so we don't go crazy). That's when we started really getting to know eachother. Now, she's my best friend. She's the most generous person I've ever met (She's really one of those "give you the shirt off her back" kind of person). She's such a wonderful aunt to Braden and practically a second mom. He loves her a lot! I'm so grateful that I've been given the opportunity to get to know her better. She's made me a better person. And I think she understands me in a way no one else really does. We both have the weirdest sense of humor. Jeremy calls it "Davis Humor". I love her so much, and pray for her happiness and wellbeing every day. I don't know if she knows that, but I do. She's not an active member of the church anymore, and I wish that I could share that happy blessing with her, because I know how much it's blessed my own life. I think that's the ONE thing that I would like to share with her most. I tell her my secrets and we share TONS of laughs, but I don't share my feelings about christ or the gospel that often because I know it makes her uncomfortable. I think that deep down, she sees there's truth to it, but I think she's afraid to believe. I can see why Alma wished he was an angel and could shout the truth from the mountain tops, that everyone would believe. But we all have our agency and make our own choices and no matter what Sarah chooses to believe, I still love her and it's only because I love her that I hope someday to share that joy with her. I know this was a rather personal post and I'm not sure why I felt the need to post it but I did. It's funny that I've never really understood what it meant to be a sister till now (I'm 29 for cryin' out loud!). I'm sure that over the years I'll come to learn even more, and I'm very excited about that! :) Sarah, if you read this, know that I love you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!! :)

I'm so glad that you've become so close to your sister! I know my relationship with my sisters is one of the things that is most precious to me! I loved hearing what Braden has been doing. He is so stinking cute. Good luck on losing more weight...you look GREAT!
Hi Sis, Growing up together, the 5 year age difference felt like a lifetime. I think that is why we didnt feel close when we were growing up. As an adult, I have had only 1 or two people I would call best friends, Quite a few people, good friends. But there has been so many of them who have disappeared or faded from my life, you know how it is, everyone gets busy with their own lives and you see each other less, talk less, and eventually you are on a christmas card list. I can't tell you what it means to me to know that you are THE one best friend I have who will travel through life with me. No matter what, we have a connection that can't be separated by distance or time. It is impossible to put into words exactly but I hope you know how much I love you and thank you for giving me the opportunity to figure out how special and wonderful you are and how much I admire and look up to you. You are such an inspiration to me. I watch you with your son and you are such a great mother. You dont have to worry about that, because you are so observant when it comes to him and you have faced such difficult challenges and overcome them. You have a strength I could never possess. Because of you, Braden will have the best chances in life and he will be the best he can be and you should be proud of that. I love you sis.
