Remembering How Blessed I Am

I was just reminded today how blessed I am.Even though there are many days that I forget. I would not know what to do without the fighting, messes, and high pitched squeals. Tonight I will thank my Hearvenly Father for all four miracles he has blessed our family with, and try tomorrow to rememer that I am blessed.

Newborn Pictures

This picture is one of my favorites. I like to think that she is remembering someone or something from her heavenly life she just left.

This is Taby's favorite position. She loves to sleep on your shoulder.

Brittany, a friend, asked if she could practice taking newborn pictures when Tabytha was born. She was so nervous that she wouldn't do a good job, but I think all the pictures turned out great. I wish I could post all of them for everyone to see. These pictures were taken when Taby was a week old. It only makes me wish that I had such beautiful pictures of the other girls when they were newborns. Thanks a bunch Brittany! Feel free to practice any time with my family!

Go Fly A Kite

We promised the girls that if tehy did their chores and kept the house clean that we would take their kites out and fly them. It just happened to be a windy day and thegirls were good so we went to the school and had some fun.

Payge, being "PokeyJoe," had to take a rest from the hard work of kite flying.


Here is Baylee with her jellyfish kite.

Maggy had to join in and use Dad's kite. she had lots of fun and insisted that dad take a turn flying the kite too.

Maggy's Birthday in June

That smile says it all and makes the money we spent well worth it.
It has been so rainy lately, but that didn't stop her from taking her new bike for a test drive. Notice that smile again!

This is Maggy trying to convince Dad that it would be alright for her to ride the bike around the house, because it was raining outside. Yes, he finally did give in who could say no to such a cute little girl with such an excited smile.

Jeremy and I have decided that having a Birthday in December is no fun!! So we decided to give Maggy an unbirthday gift. Maggy loves riding bikes and has been riding a little red trike with split front tire all spring. One afternoon we went shopping for a bike and found this one at Target I know it is not fancy but Maggy thinks it's great!

Belly Button Blues

What a cute little Belly Button.
At 2 1/2 weeks old Taby's Umbilical Cord fell off. Making the fact that she has to grow-up, all to real! It was a sad moment for me as the newborn stage doen't last very long. I however didn't cry for long because Jeremy thought I was being totally silly. I'm just trying to enjoy each and every moment, cause I know it will be my last.

Taby's First Bath

Another first. . . Taby hates getting her body washed (I'd hate it to if I had to take a bath in the cold bathroom sink), but loves to get her hair washed and rinsed. This is my favorite part of having a baby, giving them a bath and making them smell so fresh. There's nothing like Johnson's bedtime body wash and lotion to make a baby smell like a baby should!

Dancing Fools

The older girls got to go to a dance clinic put on by the high school dance team. They were really excited and ready to perform.



Payge was even awarded a "Star Performer" certificate. She was very proud of it and had fin learning how to dance from one of dad's students.

This was Baylee's second time at the dance clinic. She did very well and liked dancing with the highschool girls.

Here is Payge dancing to "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." She did have a lot of fun; although the week before she said she just wanted to dance with a tutu and ballet slippers.
