A snowy day!

Tagged! (Thanks Kristen)

This photo was taken at Bear Lake in 2007!
We go every August with Brett's family!
Brett is wearing his favorite Slayer t-shirt
and I am wearing clothes that DO NOT fit anymore!
Motherhood is great!

I tag Melissa, Loni, Jen, and Michelle (yes you).

Afton is 14 weeks old! She is getting so big!

Tummy time only lasts for a while.

Afton has become very aware of her fingers.
At times she is very distracted and goes cross-eyed
trying to get a good look!
She also loves holding burp cloths and blankets.

And of course, Afton is reading!

Afton loves to suck her thumb.

Merry Christmas!
We had a fun Christmas Eve with the
Keetch's and spent a relaxing
Christmas day with the Watrous family.
We loved waking up to Afton (our favorite
Christmas present). Actually, I woke up to
Afton, tied a big red ribbon around her
and then we got Brett out of bed. She is the
best gift we could ever receive!
Hugs and kisses!

Today is Brett's birthday!
He is getting old. I can say
that because I am the same age.
Those of you who know us - know
how old we are.
We had strawberry cake and
vanilla ice cream. This is Afton's
contribution! She loves her daddy!

What can I say? She makes every day worthwhile! Afton is the greatest gift Brett and I could ever receive. She is sleeping well, smiling, giggling, grasping our fingers, pulling my hair, grunting a lot (especially at night) and making us happier than we've ever been! I haven't gotten dressed in two months and my hair is a long (not on purpose) mess. I don't care about the dirty dishes in the sink or the obvious fact that I need to vacuum. We go through a ton of diapers and wipes and Afton's newborn clothes are already to small. It's been nine weeks of exhaustion, excitement,
worry, fear, a feeling that our hearts might burst with love, moodiness, tenderness, and so on.
In spite of everything, we can't imagine life without her!

Baby shower

This was my shower for Afton. Melis had it at her house. It was beautiful, the food was delicious and I received so many wonderful gifts! I still can't believe I am going to have a BABY! I am so blessed and excited and overwhelmed and huge! LOL

My cutest nephew Andrew was here from Phoenix to celebrate! Isn't he the cutest?

Jen with a brand new baby! Patricia, Wendy, Coke, Trena, Rachel, Janet, Marily, Lindsay, Grandma June. I missed getting photos of some friends but boy I felt loved!
