Testing out the best matress the store had to offer. . .
This Saturday was Tyler's birthday. We spent the day relaxing and enjoying our day together. Tyler's birthday wish was to have an early dinner at Outback Steakhouse. We headed out at 1:00 only to find that Outback didn't open until 3:30. We decided to do some grocery shopping to take up some time until dinner. Before long it was 6:30 and we were getting ready to head out. We were not headed to dinner though. Earlier that day Tyler had agreed to go to an investigator's home with the missionaries. I was reluctant to go, Bella started teething and isn't handling it with much grace, but minutes after we arrived I was grateful. This was my first encounter with the missionary discussion process. I was amazed at how young these missionaries are. I tried to picture "young" Tyler on his mission, and wondered what kind of trials he faced. As we left the home I was overcome with the spirit. It's amazing how much my testimony on missionary work grew within that short time frame. I love the young men in this church that dedicate two years to the Lord. Thank you for all your hard work Elders!
Anyway. . .we ended the night with good food in our bellies, and a comforting feeling from the spirit.
On Sunday we continued our spiritual high at Church. When we returned home Tyler and I began the long process of assembling a crib. It took over two hours! But now Bella isn't trapped in her tiny bassinet. (she was continuing to wake herself up by bumping into the sides) And now, thanks to her dad, she is sleeping on a very comfortable bed. While we were shopping for a crib mattress, on Saturday, I reached for the cheapest $40 mattress. Tyler quickly returned my item to the shelf and convinced me she needed the mattress that was twice as much. Even though I wanted the cheapest one, I didn't win. Tyler insisted she have "a princess bed." I couldn't contain my laughter. He was completely serious. I can't believe the way she affects Tyler. She is his little princess. I love my husband and daughter with all my heart, but it is even more rewarding to see Tyler love his little girl.

isnt it crazy to think a little girl can have a grown man wrapped around her finger. i get excited thinkin about what kind of dad stanton will be.
as for the missionaries... i always cry when i see them. i dont know why- i think its because i am so touched that they would dedicate their lives for 2 years to serving our Lord.
That is so cute of your hubby to want the best for your little girl! That is so sweet! That is really awesome you got to be apart of the missionary experience!! That really is so amazing!
I am so glad you asked!! I did dance with Cambria up at Dance Shack and I LOVED IT!! You should see their studio, it's amazing! The teams are awesome, the girls are nice and not catty. If she lives in Salt Lake I could carpool with her next year to save on gas and stuff if she is wanting to dance! Oh that would be so so fun! Let me know!
Tyler? NO WAY! I'm just kidding! He is a great daddy and him and Bella are so cute when they are playing! She totally has her daddy wrapped right around her tiny finger! Right where she wants him to be!! Cute princess crib! We miss you guys too! We will start planning our vaca to San Antonio!
