Curly Top

I am not exactly sure where she gets this hair but I love it. Just a little mousse and she is good to go. I am so proud of her for lasting so long at the reception. She was a total

Trooper!!!

Little Flower Girl

Anna was a flower girl in her new Aunt Carly's wedding. She was so cute throwing the flowers before their ring ceremony. We are so excited for Griff and Carly!!!

Pagie, Jessie and I went to the AI concert last night. It was a pretty spontaneous thing. We got tickets late Saturday and ended up on the 16th row on the floor. It was really fun and REALLY LOUD. My ears are still ringing from all the screaming girls for David Archuletta. It was fun though!!

that blasted blankie...

ohhhhh Blanky...

So early on with Anna, I decided that I didn't want her to be one of those kids who has to have a specific blanket when she naps/sleeps so I have mixed them up and given her many options. Currently she has 6 blankies in her crib. I am crazy I know. She is the princess and the pea. Much to my dismay she has completely latched on to a blankie and calls for it when she is tired. Woe is me. It is a pink fleecy one with satin on one side. When we are in the car she likes to wrap it around her neck like a scarf and she would carry it with her at all times if I let her. So here is to not being able to control my little girl. Oh well...

Pretty Girl

A Walk in the Park

We got stir crazy today so we headed out to Bridal Veil Falls for a walk. Anna loved it. It is finally getting warmer so we took advantage. Anna kept referring to the raging Provo River as "Bubbles" Once we got to the falls she had to put her feet in and although freezing water she insisted in trying to climb in. We had to say goodbye to the "Bubbles" and got a few cute shots.

BYU Graduation

I am amazed at how many people have graduated from universities all over this country. We attended my fabulous brother-in-law Matt's graduation this morning and although it was long and a big hard with Anna trying to jump off the balcony in the Dejong Concert Hall, it was great. I remember my own graduation like 5 years ago. Holy crap...five years. I guess what I am getting at is that graduating is great. I think that just the accomplishment of finishing something so long and tedious is a feat in and of itself. The hard part is the reality that school is school and the real world is the real world. GOOD LUCK GRADUATES!!!

Ohhh Sunday

Today was a long day. It was Anna's first day in nursery and she abosolutely loved it. They needed a substitute and asked me if I would. It was crazy to say the least. I don't know that I could handle that every week. I had a cute experience this morning. I have been a little down lately. Not sure if it is hormones or just life...but Anna was looking for me and kept saying..uhhh Mama..uhh mama...uhh mama. It made me realize how lucky I am to have such a special little girl who loves me as her mommy. I am someone's mommy!!! It has been 18 Months since I had Anna, but I can now tell how much she loves and needs me, not just how much I love and need her....

Easter...

So Easter came and went and I barely had time to think. I made this cute cake with peeps and chocolate chips. Found the idea in my Taste of Home magazine. Anna loves peeps. She loves pretty much anything with sugar.

My litte Strawberry Blond

No idea where she gets this hair.
