Things to love...

that it's grapefruit season, Izzy's squeals of delight riding on the swings with me, my moonroof in spring weather, that I only teach nursery once a month, talking to my mom and sisters daily, holiday cards in the mail from grandparents, Elly's sweet smile and coos on a day with LOTS of crying, a lost and then found "KeKe" (Izzy's raggy blanket) in the mall, a family hike, Chad coming home for lunch and his spontaneous dance "moves", a box full of dresses for my girls from a sister, girls night of games and gabbing, redbox, that Twilight comes out on Friday, grape limeades from Sonic, and lastly, that there is love and laughter in our home.


PS-I was a mess when Izzy lost her blanket, I cried and she didn't. I was worried how was I going to cope if she lost it for real! I called Chad, and his first question (well after saying, "I told you, you should cut it in half!") "Did you say a prayer?". A tender mercy from Heavenly Father that day!

Is that a doll?

Izabelle new thing is pushing Ellery in her doll stroller (actually, Elly likes it too). Ellery will be 15 weeks next Monday and is only 11 lbs 10 oz...still tiny!

PS- The buffering takes a minute....but it DOES work!

Elly's Blessing

It was our Elly's blessing yesterday. What a wonderful day! Her Daddy's blessing was beautiful and full of the spirit. I was so touched by all of our family and friends support in coming. It was a great day! Here she is with her Daddy.
(Aunt Gwen, I got tons of compliments on her dress. Thank you again!)

We had a lunch for family and friends before. We had; Potato Cheese and Taco Dump soups, rolls and cornbread, fruit, and of course a cake.
It was just Sam's Club cake...Grandma Stephens cake would have made the day perfect!
