lovely

Isn't she lovely
Isn't she wonderfull
Isn't she precious
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we'd be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love

Isn't she pretty
Truly the angel's best
Boy, I'm so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can't believe what God has done
through us he's given life to one
But isn't she lovely made from love

cheese!

How cute are these kids?! So in a vain attempt to loosing the baby weight I have started walking to Jodi's (michelle's sister/my adopted sister in law) house three days a week. Jodi then goes running while Lilly puts in some "play with kids my own age and not boring old mom" time. Here they are saying cheese-Mira, Boyd and Rulon Butterfield with my two.
Oh and today at Sophia's 2 month check up she is once again off the charts for height-here's proof: the baby next to her is only 6 weeks younger.

REALLY?

So a facebook friend of mine posted today (and I quote) :

"really wishes she had a huge glass of caffeine-free coke in crushed ice with a straw. It doesn't get any better than that."

Ummm yah it does. Try Coke WITH caffeine.

I mean it's like saying:

"really wishes she had a huge pizza without any cheese. It doesn't get any better than that."
OR
"really wishes she had a banana split without any ice cream. It doesn't get any better than that."
OR
Really wishes she had a chili dog without a hot dog. It doesn't get any better than that." (actually you just got yourself a bowl of chili)
OR
"really wishes she had chips and salsa but substituted corn flakes for the chips. It doesn't get any better than that." (based on a true story-college roommate with food issues)
OR
Come up with one of your own that I can add to my list.

Is this woman serious? Yes, Yes she is. Oh and did I mention she is the mother of 9 children- Hey sistah do yourself a favor and DRINK THE CAFFEINE!

What a weekend!

We were crazy busy this weekend! Sophia's blessing and Lilly's 2nd birthday. Here are a few pics:My first attempt at an Ice Cream cake (Thanks Tami Weaver for doing it first and giving me the idea/courage to try)

Bubble Maker from Grandma Hall

ummmm

I don't even know what to say other than this is what happened today when my attention was on doing homework with Anna and Kirsten, cooking dinner, tidying up the house and feeding Sophia.

Amazing what a two year old can do with just a lipstick liner and an eye liner.

Birthday Party

Kirsten got invited to a Birthday Party yesterday

She was so excited and asked if she could go. . .

I told her to check with me in 3 months

And Kirsten's main concern with the invitation was that there wasn't a phone # on it.
