Lila's Baby Blessing

This has been such a big week for us. The day after the wedding we had Lila's blessing. It was so great to be able to have all our family there for Lila.
Ryan's mother made Lila's dress out of my wedding dress. She made Sunny a temple dress when we were sealed out of it, and we had just enough left for Lila. It was gorgeous.

Best Friends

My Aunt Cathy brought her granddaugher Hayden out here for the wedding (She's my cousins little girl). Sunny and Hayden are a couple of weeks apart in age, and we had been so excited for them to meet. They were instant best friends. They dressed alike almost the entire time they were together, and they really looked like twins.
Waiting for Josh and Jess to come out of the Temple.

Still waiting.

Taking pictures like the brides.

Look at my dress Hayden. Have you worn yours??

Posing in their barbie nightgowns.

They also have really cute matching Hannah Montana shirts, but I didn't get a picture of that. They were just so dang cute together. Sunny is really missing Hayden. She is already talking about how she wants to get on the airplane to go to Hayden's house.

p.s. Hayden, you left your green ring here. Don't worry, Sunny will take care of it and bring it back to you soon.

p.p.s Sunny is LOVING the gold sandals. They are all she will wear. (Thanks again).

We love You Hayden!!

Uncle B.J.

Uncle B.J. was here this past week for Josh and Jess's wedding. Jackson has been waiting for this visit for so long. He loves his Uncle B.J. so much and has really been missing him since last August when B.J. moved back to Florida.
I have never seen Jax so happy. I don't think he spoke to me or Ryan all week. We didn't even have to watch him or take care of him. He was B.J.'s shadow. They slept in the same room together and went everywhere together. We can't wait to see him again.

Not for my baby

This just seems a little scary. No disrespect to India and the culture, but maybe they should do away with this.

Sunny Day

Yesterday was such a beautiful day. The kids and I spent all afternoon outside, and I even got a sunburn. They were so excited to ride their bikes and play with all their friends in our cul-de-sac. And where was Lila????

In her sling as usual. She loves it. It is the only thing that makes her happy.

I don't know if it shows up in the picture, but this is the weather today. SNOW!

Smiles

It took a lot of work to get a picture of Lila smiling. These are three of about 20 pictures I took the other day. Sunny was in charge of getting her to smile, and my job was to get the picture, which is hard when the smile is very short-lived, and when you're using a digital camera.

Here is the best we got. Lila is a pretty grouchy baby, and doesn't smile very often. Sunny and Jax are the best at getting her to smile right now. I'm hoping she'll get a little bit happier and smilier (is that a word?) in the coming weeks.

I Think This Sums It Up

Please stop taking my picture!

No, seriously.

DON'T TAKE ANYMORE PICTURES!!!!!
