Nellie

I'm way behind in blogging, but here's a little something to hold you over while i work on catching up. Enjoy

Blessing Day

Nellie's blessing day was perfect. It was such a beautiful blessing. So many people came to support and we feel so blessed and loved! Thanks to everyone who cares about our little family!  

(P.S. Nellie was blessed in the same blessing dress i was blessed in, she looked like an angel.)

We have been watching a lot of Winni the Pooh, Jack too is finding his love for honey...

Yes, this is my swim suit and John's camo hat, Jack's dressing himself these days... 

Jack has had a pretty rough week, falling over in his high chair, and then in the buggy, this is a result of the buggy :( Close to the sadest picture of him i've ever seen. He's also kinda sick...

 Enjoying my double bob, love it :)!

The greatest (and handsomest) dad in the world

5 weeks

Nellie, 5 weeks old

I can't believe 5 weeks ago yesterday our sweet little Nellie joined our family. I seriously love her so much. It is crazy how much love you can have for your kids. Nothing they do can make you love them less. I feel so blessed to have her in my life. 

Nellie is starting (i think) to try to smile awake. Today she looked like she was trying so hard and i'd get these little half smiles, they were so sweet. She is also the strongest little 5 week old that i know! She holds her head up like a champ. If i hold just her hands she'll stand up and hold her head up, its so cute, i've got to get a picture, but i'm going to need some help from John for that. 

Its been a good five weeks, lots of sleepless nights but lots of tender mercies. I just feel so blessed. 

I'm so glad Jack too loves his little sister

following the crowd...

Well i did it. I broke down and just did it.
What you may ask?
Zumba.
My conclusions?
I've got to keep going.
Why?
Because I. Can't. Dance.
Was i embarrassed?
No, you should have seen the girl next to me...hahaha

So i guess i should have figured this all out a lot sooner when i was dancing one day in the kitchen (was i really in the kitchen? I can't remember but isn't that where housewives are supposed to dance?) Anyway....i was dancing... when my husband walked in and told me that my dancing reminds him of Dallin Olson...hmmmm...wasn't sure how to take that. Now i realize it meant i better start frequenting zumba.

Watch out John, soon i will be a booty shaking, shoulder shimmying (is that a word?), crazy jumping dancing machine. Wish me luck (i'll need it)
