Our girls...

These 3 girls of ours keep us hopping...and sometimes we actually remember to capture some sweet moments!

 Talia adores Lydia...over Spring Break Eliza and I went shopping so Talia helped Daddy watch Lydia.  She was sure to read her books before heading off to bed!

 

 One Sunday I took a picture of Talia to text to Aunt Elayna to show her that she was so excited to fit into Eliza's dress she had wore to her wedding.  It then turned into this...

Talia is usually very good about taking naps.  Sometimes she just wants to play in her room instead but it's really hard to give up that nap!  That's why sometimes it just happens...even when you're dressed like a princess and trying hard to play!

Or if that nap doesn't happen then it might come while we're sitting on the couch talking, waiting for Eliza to get off the bus.

 Sleepy girls...

Sunrise

Darran watched this beautiful sunrise in our backyard as he ate breakfast one morning!

Chick day!

We went to Basin Grain and Feed for their Chick Day on Saturday.  It's a fun way to welcome Spring...we get to pet the animals and eat a hot dog!

 Talia petting a rabbit.

 The girls with another rabbit.

 We found a guinea pig...and Brayden!

Lots and lots of chicks!  Welcome Spring!

Smiles all around!

 Sweet smiling sisters!

 We're finally getting smiles from Lydia!  It's been a strange thing...physically she's growing so fast but we have to remind ourselves that she was born premature.  Meaning we've had to wait longer than usual to see these sweet smiles!  So worth the wait!

She's a sweet baby girl!

3 months old!

On March 19th Lydia turned 3 months!  Time goes by fast and this little girl grows even faster!

 Her picture with Mulan the Barbie then...

 ...and now!

 In her car seat the day she came home from the hospital...

 ...and now!

 Wearing a preemie nightgown to bed...

...wearing a 0-3 month nightgown now!

We love this growing girl! 

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!

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!

 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!
