Can I hold you?

Bryndi asked if she could hold Bella. Yeah, she's not exactly a little tiny thing. Bryndi still asks "Mommy, can I hold you?" when she wants me to hold her. I think its so sweet that I just don't correct her on it.

I love it when the girls get into a giggle fest with each other. They love to make each other laugh!

Both girls love to have shoulder rides from their Dad!

Baptisms

My niece Kaylie and my sister Sharmon were both baptized on February 28th. What a great day! Here is Kaylie at the get-together after her baptism.

Sharmon and her friend Jason.

Grandpa English

Sarah and April. They flew out from Washington to be here!


I tried to get a pic of these three babies together, but all but this one were blurry. April is only 10 months old and WALKING. Bella is 8 months and is thinking about crawling soon. That's their cousin Zac with his back towards us. Sorry Brenda!

Blue freckles

Yesterday I found a blue permanent marker and set it aside so I could put it "somewhere safe", away from toddler hands. Well, I didn't get it to that safe place fast enough.

Kind of looks like a constellation of blue freckles, huh?


How could I get upset with this face?!


This picture is Bryndi too. Throw her hair up in a clip and she still has perfect curls!

Beautiful Bella

We took a trip to Las Vegas the 15th to the 18th. Bryndi stayed with Jordan and Jessica and family. Bella got some one on one time with mom and dad. This is how she looked on the drive down. What an angel she was!

Bella and Richard after we ate at the Todai Sushi buffet. Richard had the sushi and I ate the rest of the Japanese food. Yum!


The Desert Rose resort had the best baby bathtub in the kitchen!

Happy 8 months old Bella! I love you!

Its all good...

Bella's first babbling word was Dada. She says dadada all the time. But last night she started saying good, good, good. I had to get it on tape to prove it!

Hiding under the couch

So my sister Melody gave Bryndi some hair bows for her birthday. I decided to figure out how to make them myself and I'm hooked. I made this super easy hair bow holder yesterday and you can see some of the bows I've made. So fun.


Bella doesn't even scoot yet, I thought. But I came into the living room yesterday and found this scene.
It was deja-vu as you can see with Bryndi's pic.

Muscles

Yesterday I had Bella at my brother's house and my 5-year-old nephew Evan was watching as I changed her diaper. When I took off Bella's pants and he saw all the rolls on her legs he excitedly yelled, "Look! She has muscles!" As I continued to change her, he was surprised that she was not fighting me, since she is so strong with all those muscles and all :)
