"Little girls, little girls, everything about 'em is....little

What is it about GIRL relatives?
Cousins are a wonderful thing...and sisters?
They are just downright awesome, too.
When Deisy 1st met Isla..she went crazy....like "I know YOU!" kinda crazy.
It was so cute, she just wanted to get a hold of her and squeeze and kiss on her,
like she was thinking, "I recognize you!" (hmmmmm....sweet "D" girl....)

And she was right....Isla is Just the cutest thing ever!

But WAIT!...There's more!

Claire found out this week that...(you guessed it)...she is having a GIRL!!
Hip-Hip-Hooray! Pink for everyone....on the house!


Only one small problem ....Sweet "E" boy met Isla with the same look
that he gave Deisy when she was born....

Sorry "E"....

You're still our #1 little man.

Sarah and Josh

I have just recently been able to see my family at a wedding reception for Sarah and Josh. They got married a couple of months ago and had this reception in Rexburg, Idaho.
Love, Love, LOVE my family! I am truly thankful for the couple of moments that I get to have every so often...to just reconnect! I had such a great time....take a look at the beautiful day we got to share with each other:

Sarah and Josh stealing a kiss....

I made the cake to match her original wedding cake....

Mindy brought her sweet little Sophia for us to see....

Fiona came and wore her pink boots....love her!

Did I say how much I love my family?

Mother's Day

Today I woke with thoughts of my kids. Rob has been gone this past week, working in Oregon, so I was alone....on mother's day...thinking.
I thought of breakfast in bed, macaroni necklaces, and homemade cards made with coloring crayons and glitter. I thought of kids jumping on the bed to wake me up with the Sunday newspaper, orange juice, and pancakes with a smiley face on it. I thought about each of the pinch pots and coil pots and even a few clay dinosaurs that have been made especially for me. I haven't been alone this morning...the memories are still as sweet as if it were happening today!

As my mother would say...
"I wouldn't trade any of it for all the tea in China"!

It has been a privilege.
