Fun times with Lincoln

There are  definitely pros and cons to being  so much younger than your siblings. Most days poor Lincoln is bored out of his mind waiting for the kids to come home from school and then when they get home he complains that we just have to run around from one place to the next taking the kids to lessons. However some days he gets lucky and gets to have a mom date. We invited our cousin Jamison over to go to Ijump and Arctic Circle for lunch the other day and the boys Had so much fun playing together Lincoln said it was the best day ever! We also went on a field trip with his preschool to a farm and had fun exploring outdoors and riding on straw bailed behind a tractor to a small fish pond.   I love this boy way too much!  So thankful Heavenly Father sent him to help us on earth!!  He is a sweetheart!

As he and James were sitting up to the kitchen table he noticed me hanging my flowers out front and old Jamison, “my mom hangs those flowers for Jesus.  Did you know Jesus put his  hand on the man that died and he came alive again?”  It brought tears to my eyes. I love moments like this that make me realize he is learning about the Savior his dad and I love so much.  So thankful!

TaVaci Show

Tonight Molly performed her end of the year TaVaci concert. They do such an incredible job, I just love watching and listening to them sing.  Molly as such attitude as she’s doing her dance moves and singing with the group it’s obvious to her dad and I that she LOVES music! 

She had 4 grandmas there to support her tonight and our amazing grandpa Jeff!  Love our family so much and thankful for the support.

Grace's Baby Blessing

Because of all the illness going around town, as previously mentioned I MADE Dustin wait until May to bless Grace.   I seriously mean that I made him wait too.  He asked me each month or maybe even each week if we could do her blessing and I gave him permission to do it right then and there, but I wasn't inviting family over.  I couldn't bare the thoughts of everybody getting together to hold her and touch her until May came around.   Call me crazy, but my mama bear instincts are strong with a newborn.  I have it each and every time I have a baby and I just want to protect that sweet babe that I just got done growing inside of me for the past 9 months.  

Isn't she precious?  I love her dress so much and her cute bracelet Grandma Carol gave her and the bow from Aunt Sindy.  She is just an angel.

Dustin gave her the most beautiful blessing.  He is a good man.

She is so very blessed to have so many grandmas and one pretty awesome grandpa to attend her blessing.  I'm sure many others were there in spirit being our witness for such a special occasion.

Still can't believe I've been blessed with 4 sweet baby girls.

And a very handsome little man.  He loves his cousin Russell and is so happy they got to hang out for a while.

Grateful for the Priesthood in our lives and for this sweet angel that gave us an occasion to gather as a family in the gospel of Jesus Christ.  I love her more than words could express and thank Heavenly Father for the beautiful spirit she is.  My heart didn't even know I was missing her until she came and filled it and now I don't know what I ever did without her.
