Smiling Girl


I was so lucky to get this cute smile from Presley. She was just chilling on my Dad's lap laughing at the ceiling fan. Then she turned to me at just the right moment. My Dad was busy ignoring me. :)
I love that smile, it makes my heart melt. These little moments make motherhood so worth it!!
All those years of infertility make me appreciate every little thing she does.
I got a pretty good laugh today. She had spit up all over herself, so I put her in the tub for a bath. After I placed her on her changing table to dry her off, she sneezed. Not normally a big deal, execpt when she sneezed, it forced some poop to fly out her bum! That girl had some big force behind it. It shot all the way to her closet door! This is something she won't want me to remember, but it really did make me laugh really hard, even while I cleaned up the mess.

Diva in Training



Bryn had dance practice today, so we had 2 take a few pictures of how cute she looked. She posed w/ her hand on her hip. Silly girl. What is scary is how grown up my little girl looks!
She is such a cutie! I just am so lucky to have my girls! I just wish they didn't grow so fast! I look at her and still can see my little baby Brynlee sometimes. Yesterday Ryan was playing peek a boo with Presley and Brynlee was laughing so hard. It struck the memory of when Brynlee was little and would laugh at her Dad when he played it with her. I'm glad she still thinks Daddy is funny, because I know someday she will not feel that way. I hope that her teenage years she will still need us and not be embarrassed by us too much. We are a lot older than her. Ryan and I were talking about this. We are the same age as our parents were when they stopped having kids, and we are just getting started. So we will be the older parents at all the kids functions! I hope we will still be cool to her! :)

2 Months


These pictures are always so sad. Presley getting her two month shots. Yeah, this was a few weeks ago, but I'm not on top of my blogging.
I can't even find my sticker that tells me exactly how much she had grown, but I remember she weighed 11lbs 3oz and was 23 inches long. But I can't remember percentile.
I do know that this little girl's cry makes me want to cry. I love her so much already. Who wouldn't?
I do have to say that Brynlee thought this was justice seeing someone else get a shot though. She kept saying I had one too Presley. Which she did back in September!

Presley's Blessing Day


We blessed Presley on March 27,2011. She was exactly two months old. I had this planned for a while, but the week before my Grandma Denning died at the age of 92. So I didn't know if I should change it. I didn't because of family coming to her blessing, so we had a very emotionally draining weekend. My Grandma's viewing was on Friday, Her funeral on Saturday and the baby blessing on Sunday. I cried a lot that weekend. All good cry's, but still very draining. My Grandma's funeral was beautiful. She lived a very full and long life and I'm so grateful I took Presley for her to see the week before she died. My Grandma left a huge legacy behind. 28Grandchildren and 56Great Grandchildren with 3 more on the way. I always wanted a big family too. I am so lucky that Heavenly Father has listened to our prayers and answered them with these two Beautiful little girls. I still pray that we can add to our family, but I am not ungrateful for what I do have. I love my family. I am so lucky to have Ryan, Brynlee and Presley!!

Me and my Beautiful Girls!

This is my favorite shot of the day. Sweet smile.
She started smiling at 5 weeks for me and others on 6 weeks. Now she is smiling a lot. I love it!
I splurged on Presley's cute ruffle butt. Too cute!
