Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
 The girls were so excited about St. Patrick's Day.  Not really sure why...other than we made rainbow crafts and painted their finger nails green!
 Eliza wanted to leave a note for the Leprechaun.  I wanted her to write it but of course it got too late the night before so she just told me what to write.
The next morning they found a note and a treat the Leprechaun left for them.  In Tal's words, "It's like a dream come true!"  You have to say it in a really dreamy voice to get the full affect!

3 sweet girls...

Three beautiful babies on their blessing day!
 Eliza (2008)
Talia (2010)
Lydia (2014)
Only proof that time goes by fast!

Blessing day...

We blessed Lydia on March 9th and got to have lots of family join us for the weekend...it was great!
 Cousins eating dinner together!
 We celebrated Dallin's birthday and skyped with Mitch to wish him a happy birthday!
Jon taking care of all 3 of my kids...he's a good uncle!

 The girls were so excited that Lydia finally got to go to church with us!
 Eliza and Lydia
 All the girls...
 ...and all the sisters.

 Our growing family.




 I LOVE this picture!
 Talia told Grandpa and Grandma Great she was going to kiss Lydia 5 times...and she did.





 When we first brought Lydia home I thought she would never fit into this blessing dress...even if we waited a few months!  But I was wrong.  This girl isn't wasting anytime!  At her appointment the Tuesday before she was blessed she weighed 9 pounds 14 ounces (12%) and is 22 inches (25%) long!  She's growing and we love it!




We love you Lydia!

Sisters...

Talia loves
kissing...
snuggling...
and singing to her little sister!
I'm pretty sure little sister loves it too!

February 19th!

February 19th was a special day for two reasons.  One reason was that Darran and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary!  Darran brought me Costa Vida for lunch and then the girls helped make a "romantic" dinner and served daddy.  
The second reason was that Lydia turned 2 months old!
So a special day for the three of us!

Fun weekend...

We headed up to Cocolalla for Valentine's/President's weekend.  We were so excited to go!  It had been way, way too long since we were last there!
 Standing on the frozen lake with the house behind us...
 and the lake behind us.
 Built a snowman...
 and a snow fort!
 Since we drove up there on Valentine's night we had our special dinner Saturday night.  This was the highlight of Eliza's weekend.  She had been planning and waiting for this day for a few weeks!  She made everyone a homemade card.  She says Valentine's Day is her favorite holiday!

 Talia and Lydia.
 Time for dessert!
3 year olds playing on electronics...they look so serious!
Happy Valentine's Day and President's Day!

Snow pictures...

A few more snow pictures...





 And Lydia's first (of many I'm sure) tea party!
