Daisy turns 2!

This little girl adds so much spice and sweetness to our life!
Daisy I love watching you learn and copy your older siblings. It's so fun to see you make new expressions or use new words! You are talking so much! You still take naps like a champ and are a perfect little sleeper at night. One of the blessings of having older and younger children and seeing the love you have for your older siblings Brighton & Adaira (Dale is another story but hopefully you two are friends when you are older!). You absolutely adore Brighton and I love seeing the way he is so tender and loving toward you. Adaira loves to play with you and mother you, but you don't always want her help.


You have learned a lot of rascal behaviors from your older brother! I've been pulling you off the countertops for six months now! You can knocked over and broken our candlesticks several times (yay for super glue!) and you also push the chair to the fridge so you can get in and raid for food. What can I expect when you see how well Dale gets everything he needs when my back is turned? You managed to do this to the island after breakfast one morning when I sat down to check my email for a few minutes. You have got to be the cutest trouble maker around! You really don't care to watch TV or play games. You just love to sneak outside or stay inside and explore.


You had a great mullet going for a while but I finally had to cut it off. Don't worry, your older sister had the same thing.

 You bring so much joy to our family. I always laugh and tell your daddy the funny things you do, and you have probably heard the phrase "You are so cute!!!" from my mouth over a hundred times as I interact and love on you. I am so happy I got a second girl, and I hope you and your sister are everything to each other that I desperately wish I had in a sister. A woman needs a sister to be there for her; I didn't realize this until I was grown with kids of my own. Your sister can and hopefully becomes your best and reliable friend. Friends are great, but once you are busy with your own family it is hard to stay in touch or as close, and I have found that my friends and sister in laws are always closer to their own sisters than they are to me, and I have felt so envious as I have never had that closeness and never will. Treasure and love each other!

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...
