Bella's first foods

Isabella did good with her first time at food - good old rice cereal.  She was about 10 days over five months and very interested in what we eat, sitting up and had complete head support.  Within 3 days she was completely opening her mouth for the spoon and quickly moved to vegis and then fruit.  Hopefully with solid food in our tummy we can get back to sleeping through the night.

2nd Annual Girls' Birthday Bash

The 2nd annual combined girls birthday party was a huge hit.  They went with a dinosaur theme this year and had a cake that they designed and a huge brontosaurus bouncy house.  This year we did family only and spent the whole day hanging out and  having fun together.  They went with a lego theme for gifts and thanks to family have a really nice lego collection going.  Can't ever go wrong with that really.  Although it was a little cold and sprinkled here and there it was a super day and the girls did a super job once again planning their own party

Waiting for our Missionary

Kelsey got the girls a "Waiting for My Missionary" t-shirt for their birthdays.  They absolutely love them and wear them as soon as they are washed again.  Kelsey designed and personalized them online - what a clever gift.

A walking we will go

Rylee, Isabella and I try to go out for a walk several times a week while everyone else is gone for the day.  So far they love it and we will do it until the cold no longer permits.

Cierra's 6th Birthday

My kind of girl - cheesecake with fresh strawberry sauce instead of cake.  This year Cierra's main gift she wanted was a locket so she could have Nick with her at all times.  I think him being gone is affecting us all more than we sometime realize.

Kaydence is Blessed

Kaydence was blessed today.  Afterward we all went back to Andi & Jimmy's house for a nice luncheon.  What a blessing to have such good parents - these two little girls are so lucky - and to be raised in the gospel - just couldn't get any better - rich, rich blessings.
