3 Months Now

Lindsey Belle is now 3 Months old!
She is such a cutie and so sweet! It is so easy to get a great picture of her smiling! I love it! We just love having her around our home! I am so blessed to have 3 beautiful and sweet girls! They all get along really well and love each other! Lindsey loves it when her big sisters talk to her and sing to her! I am also very blessed to have a baby who sleeps through the night! She has really been great the last 6 or so weeks! She has slept 8 to 10 hours a night pretty consistently! So lucky! She LOVES to sleep in her swing! I don't know HOW I survived not having one with my other two kids! It has been a life saver! I am sure her sleeping habits will change and soon enough I'll need to get her used to her bed! But I don't want to mess up a good thing! That is probably why she's "healthy" (Chunky) All the sleep is helping her grow!
Here are a few fun pictures! I can't believe how fast time is flying!
I took these today with Anita


Here is one of Lindsey and her cousin Sagen! He's looks like he's saying: Yo! What up dude!! He's doing gang signs or something, with his hands. :)

This one is just a cute little grin!

Sister's Weekend

At the beginning of March I got to have a wonderful weekend with a couple of my Sisters (Rebecca from CA & Liz from WA & Anita - lives a few blocks away), as a gift for Anita's 40th, we had a Sister's getaway to ..... beautiful Downtown Salt Lake! It was pretty fun and relaxing. On Friday night went to a comedy club that was actually like the show "Who's Line Is It Anyway" At first we were not sure how it would be, not too many people were there, but then it turned out to be really funny! And it was nice and clean comedy too so it turned out great! It's called Quick Wits- off Broadway theater.

All of us at the Dessert Star


Saturday we went to Gardner Village for Lunch and a little shopping and then we went to the Desert Star Playhouse and saw "Home school Musical" it was so funny! They always do a "spoof" on other shows, it was really funny, they had "Linoleum Dynamite" in it and he did an amazing job acting like Napoleon! He made the show!
On Sunday we went to Temple Square and saw the Music with the Spoken Word recording. I had to be in a differnt bldg. with Lindsey since it was a recorded TV show, they couldn't have anyone under 8yrs old - but it was still really neat! I have been to it before so I know how amazing it is to hear the Tabernacle Choir perform in the old Tabernacle!
Then Later on Sunday we headed down the street to the old Rio Grande Train Bldg next to the Gateway and Ryan and the girls came down so that Rebecca could take our family pictures , she did a great Job!!! She had to work with some bad lighting and some un-cooperative toddlers too! It was interesting! Emily kept on going to the corner and putting herself in Time out! She had to have her "Pink Drink" in a few pictures too! Both Liz and Rebecca have their own Photography company so they both could have done them! They are both Amazing at it too!
Then we took the Sisters Pictures! So fun, we took this Sisters picture when I was pregnant with Kate, 5 1/2 years ago
so we had to take some new ones.
Rebecca, Liz, Anita & Sally

On Monday we went to the Draper Temple Open House! It was great! Overall, it was so refreshing to get away and spend time with my sisters and best friends! They inspire me to be a better mom, wife, and over all a better person! Thanks!!

Lindsey Belle's Blessing Day

On March 1st Ryan blessed Lindsey in our ward and she looked beautiful! She also wanted to make sure that everyone heard HER instead of the blessing so she screamed through it! Ryan said he could barely hear himself! It was still a good blessing, he blessed her to be "strong willed" though and I think my kids come naturally strong willed, so we'll see what Lindsey's like as she grows. (Kidding)
It was funny because when the blessing was over you could hear an audible laughter from the whole congregation! They just couldn't keep in the laughter because she was screaming pretty loud! Kate was looking around asking me why everyone was laughing. In my testimony I had to add in, that is just wouldn't be Ryan if everyone didn't laugh after he was done talking!

But it was still a great day! We had over 50 of our friends and family come over and still wish that even more could have come! Afterward we tried to get a family picture but it was pretty difficult getting Emily in them! (It always is at her age though!!) This one was the best one of our family, I think Emily had just gotten out of a time out!
These pics with kate and Emily kissing Lindsey are cute! We didn't realize until the picture was on the computer that Emily was almost kissing Lindsey's tongue! So funny!! Another bit of excitement was that Ann (Ryan's Sister- she's the prego one in the cute purple shirt) went into labor later that evening and had her baby the next morning at 3 am! She was not due for one more week! Little Sagan Eli wanted to come early 'cause he got excited to meet his cousin Lindsey! He is so cute, I included a picture of him too!
