My missionary little brothers

This is going way back..........but I'm way behind so here it goes!!! April was a WAY eventful month for us! My baby brudder....Taylor, or Tay Tay as I like to call him, left on his mission to the England, Birmingham mission. (He has now been out 5 months! ha ha). Here he is the night he got set apart as a full time missionary.

Just had to add this one in. I know, I'm huge.....and this is pre-swelling. Oh and the same night.

Sorry it's blurry but here is me and the hubs along with Elder Taylor Brant Dahl. So here is the rest of the story. The next morning a volcano in Iceland decided to erupt and stop ALL air traffic in Europe. And since Taylor was going straight to England to the MTC there, he got a phone call 20 minutes before going to the airport telling him he wouldn't be going on his mission today. He was then supposed to go 4 days later, but yet again his flight was cancelled. So 8 days (i think) after he was supposed to be in England, they finally had him go to the MTC in Provo. It's a good thing too, cuz Taylor was going CRAZY being a set apart missionary at home for a week. That just sounds like tourture!!!!!!

And then about a week later, my other little brother Tanner Luke Dahl came home from the Russia, Rostov-na-Danu mission. Ya, Tanner and Taylor missed each other by a week!!! Can you believe that!! But because Taylor ended up going to the Provo MTC, they were able to arrange a meeting! So they got to see each other for about an hour. So....that was a blessing in disguise!!! Here is Tanner and my Mamacita! It was really funny cuz Tanner's plane landed about 20 minutes early so he was waiting for us. Mark happened to go the bathroom and see Tanner in there before anyone else did and my mom was waiting for Tanner with her sign looking and waiting for him to walk down the walkway, and he came up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder! It was really funny cuz she was so confused!!

The whole gang!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so proud of Tanner and Taylor!! They are the best brothers ever!!!
(and Aaron too). :)

We are alive!!!!

So, I have made a new goal. Do a blog post at least once a week. I think if I can do this, I will become one of those parents who can't ever stop talking about every little "cute" thing their kid does. So I apologize in advance for that!!! I have gotten so behind on blogging though, so it might take me a while to get caught up!! But for all 2 of you that might possibly be still looking at this blog.........be excited. And I mean you Aaron J Dahl!!!! P.S. I can't wait for you to be my doctor. :)

Sam.....my happy chubby boy

So I know its been FOREVER since I posted anything. It's not that I'm too busy or overwhelmed being a new mom, I'm just lazy and it's hard to decide what cute pics to put on here of Sam. So here is just a couple teasers!!! This first pic is the first pic we have of Sam smiling!!! We went camping 3 weeks ago when he was 8 weeks old and these pics were taken there.

Sam has really made being a mom pretty easy. Don't get me wrong, I am sleep deprived, but other than that, he is fairly easy. He is happy most of the time except when he gets gas! But who isn't unhappy when they have gas? ha ha. He is now pretty much sleeping through the night, which is awesome, but he seems to think about 4:30-5am is a good time to wake up for the morning!!! WE are working on that. Ha ha. He eats a ton! (which is pretty obvious) but I can't get enough of those chubby cute cheeks!!!! Last week I took him to the doctor because he got an ingrown toenail (I know!!! At 2 1/2 months?!?!?!???) and he weighed 13lbs 4oz. and he can now wear most 3-6 month clothes.

Mark is really loving being a dad and is really good with Sam. It's funny because when I was pregnant, he would tell me he didn't really like babies until they were older and to not be suprised if he wasn't that into Sam until he got older. That is totally the opposite of what has happened!! He can't get enough of him!! Sometimes I have to be like, "remember me? Your wife?". Sam really loves his daddy and smiles for him a lot more than for me. It's okay though, I dont let it hurt my feelings (most of the time). BOth our families are absolutely in love with him, and living with William and Gracie (our niece and nephew) has been fun because they always want to see him and play with him.

I feel so lucky that Heavenly FAther let me be Sam's mom. I am also so glad that He allowed him to stay here on earth with me. It's been amazing how much I think about Miles since having Sam. I hope they know each other. I look forward to the time when I get to cuddle and love on Miles too!!! I hope that Miles watches over his brother and I can't wait for the day I get to see them be together!!!

My baby boy.......5 weeks old!

Look at that chin and those cheeks!! I get to kiss them everyday!!!!

This one is funny! I love all the faces he makes when he is sleeping.

Kind of awake.....you can tell by his shirt he just ate.

So we celebrated my birthday on Monday with my family and my sis-in-law allie took some pics of Sam. Just wanted to share!!!! I have a ton of pics of him, but I'm at my mom's house and these were on her computer.
