And Life is Beautiful...

I'm going to miss this (a baby sleeping on my chest that is, not the being tired myself part)...


Miss Daisy began sleeping like a champ just after her four month birthday (almost a month ago, I'm behind!). I put her down around 7:30pm, nurse her around 10:30, and she sleeps until I wake her up just after 7am. Sometimes I let her sleep until 8am. I am loving life again! Daisy continues to be a wonderfully sweet and easy caboose for my little family. I love going in her room to wake her up and seeing her light up and smile as she starts kicking and moving around with quick little squirrel-like speed. She is a lot of fun and we just love her! It's funny that she still loves Dale the most. All he has to do is look at her for a split second and she is laughing and trying to get his attention...but then he just ignores her.


Daisy is rolling across rooms at this point and can sit on her own for just a few seconds. She'll be five months old in just a couple of days! Yep, she is still bald as can be, we don't anticipate any change in that area for at least a year.


I never was a good dancer and didn't really have any rhythm as a teenager. I can be happy, though, that rhythm doesn't matter when you are dancing with your kids! I love that I can be proud of the fact that Justin and I turn on the music a couple times a month and dance to our hearts content with these cuties. Even Dale (who doesn't say much) knows how to say DANCE and he loves to join in. These pictures are from about 2 weeks ago. As a baptism gift, Frances gave Brighton a CD called "Popcorn Popping". It's basically primary songs with a pop/dance beat. It's a great addition to our dancing library.



Adaira totally looks like she's doing the running man in this picture...


Justin laughs when I try and get Brighton and Adaira to fist pump with me


Adaira's favorite move is putting her hands out flat like a dainty girl and dancing and bobbing her head from side to side. I was letting her choose our moves... She's got some great hair action in this one!



Brighton loves to dance but gets pretty embarrassed too. I caught him doing his disco thing in the video below. I should have gotten some stills of Justin but all I have of him from tonight is the video :(



Who wouldn't enjoy some good and wholesome family dance time!

Look at you stylin' those skinny jeans! I love it! You look so good!

I love those precious moments with little babies, snuggling together.

Seeing Adaira and Justin dance together just makes me want a girl that much more. I can't wait to see Duane with a little girl! I love that your family has dancing nights. We need to do that! Instead, we have wrestling nights where the boys tackle Duane.

What a strong girl, Daisy is to almost be sitting up!

Daisy's baptism day

Today Daisy was baptized by her big brother Brighton. My mom and Adaira got to be the witnesses, grandma Joanna gave the talk on the Holy Ghost, and Dale gave the closing prayer (after Dad has to rush during the closing song to help him put back on his tie and button up his shirt. Brighton was the pianist except for Adaira who played "When I am Baptized" for a special musical number. (A set of twins from another family was also baptized and their kids sang and played the violin). Here is what she has to say about her special day: I felt happy and felt the Holy Ghost. The water was a little cold. At first I was nervous but now I'm happy. I was excited to be baptized and I want to be a kind member of the church. My dad, grandpa Dean and grandpa Dale, great Uncle Dale, uncles Trent, Dean, Don, Duane and David confirmed me. Dad blessed me to seek a testimony of Jesus Christ and of Joseph Smith. He asked her to find quiet times in her life away from screens and devices to be...

  Memorial Day A couple months ago I told Justin that we should take our kids and both sets of grandparents to the Mesa City Cemetery and tell our kids stories about our family members buried there. I thought it would make a good Sunday or Family Home Evening activity.  I want my children to identify with their ancestors and feel like they can learn from them. I especially want them to feel like they can develop some of the same good qualities or avoid some of the poor ones. They had also never been to a cemetery so it would be a new experience for them. Justin and I never got around to organizing it until today. Justin's mom was planning a lunch BBQ and swimming for Memorial Day and told me she was thinking of inviting my parents and asked about time preferences since she was thinking of doing it around dinner time. The idea of the cemetery popped into my head and I mentioned that I thought it would be neat to do the BBQ earlier in the day and then take everyone out to the...
