my new life (jan26 to mar11)










well i'm sure all mothers can agree that you'll never forget that first look at the precious innocent life that just entered the world... it was late in the evening on jan 26 when that last push and pull brought my bundle of joy into the world... it was the most amazing and yet creepy thing i've ever seen and felt... they set him on my chest i clapped my hands and squealed for joy... they wiped him off... see coming into this would scared the poop out of him... but i dont blame him lol!! i knew right away that my life would be changed forever! my family was complete!!



Lorenzo and I had decided on two names ... Trey Alexander or Austin Mekhi..... but when we took a look at this little boy neither fit.... and from the second he was born we never had a moment alone to talk about to name him... i didnt want to talk about it when other people were around because everyone had their own opinion... just like bum wholes!!! most of them stink!! lol ok so thats kinda icky so lets move on.... it was the night before we were gunna get checked out and still no name had been decided. in my opinion this was the hardest and most important thing i had ever done, i didnt want to just pick some random name.. names have meaning and are so important and with parents with names like ours you know he had a lot to live up to which put a lot of pressure on us.... it was probably around 2 in the morning and i was frantic and on the verge of tears thinking i was a horrible mother because i couldnt decide.. the hospital nurses even brought us name books but how common is that... reluctantly i started reading one of them and it talked about creating names from other words or names... i had lorenzo read it and after a lot of really weird jumbles lorenzo came up with KORLEN!! after i said it a few times i knew it was it.. lorenzo scrambled the letters from both of our names and thats what he got!! oh yes and his middle name (A) stand for our brothers austin and alexander.. we could pick just one...















so now that we decided its time to make his name known throughout the records of the church right!! it was a great day.. great grandpa wade made his little tux. great grandma wade made his blessing blanket. and great aunt nancy jean made his little booties... lorenzo did an amazing job and it was so special to me to hear him bless our son. him being adorable and the cookies that fallowed was nice too.. just not as spiritual...





well to say the least its been an exciting last 6 weeks!!

    Cute pictures. I love the outfit. Grandpa did a great job. I agree with you on the name thing. You don't want to give one that will be made fun of, but you don't want one that 10 other kids at school will have too. It is a hard choice.

"Dress to Impress" Does it Make a Difference?

Image
There are few things in life as stressful as that moment, standing in front of your mirror, a dozen outfits strewn about your room and realizing you don't have a thing to wear. Whether it is for a first date, a job interview, or a first day at school, putting extra thought into what you wear is inevitable. But does it really make a difference? Could the clothing you wear have any effect on the outcome of the event?  Obviously no one would want to wear a cocktail dress to work out in or wear their pajamas to the first day of school (though that latter one is becoming increasingly more plausible). But does the clothing you wear really make an impression on those you come in contact with and could it aide in you making an impression for that matter.  According to Hajo Adam and Adam D. Galinsky, social psychologist, there is a systematic influence that clothing has on the wearer's psychological processes which they have labeled "enclothed cognition". Say-what-ta-huh? Basi...

Define siblings

Oh bless their hearts! These two are either best friends or worst enimies. And it usually switches between the two in a matter of seconds, several times a day. But when they are playing nice they are like two peas in a pod. Korlen has his own special individual relationship with each of them, but the relationship they have with each other is just too fun! Recently Evelett has been obsessed with holding Tahlae's hand and she will follow him around holding her hand out for him saying "hand hand" he actually doesn't really like this but sometimes he relents to appease her and I LOVE when he does.  I mean how cute is that! They walk along and she will stop him to look at the bugs or dandelions or whatever which is perfect for him because he is THE BIGGEST slow poke I know being the epitome of stopping to smell the roses! Not a day goes by that he doesn't bring me the most random, simple thing like a rock or a leaf that he has found  to be a treasure. So because of thi...
