Blessing Day

Miriam's blessing day was very special.
Grammy and Grampy were able to come from North Carolina and














Uncle Craig and Aunt Heidi even drove up from Provo to be there.














Owen blessed her and both grandpas and most of her uncles (even Ryan - her adopted uncle) were also in the circle.




























With Grandpa and Grandma

Three generations

I love this last picture with my Mom and the temple in the background. It is all because of the Church and the temple that my mother is LDS, that she raised a wonderful family, is leaving on a mission in a couple weeks, and that I have now started my own eternal family. Isn't the gospel great?!

Baby Shower

During the weekend that Grammy and Grampy were in town visiting for the blessing, we decided to have the baby shower also. It was very fun to have everyone come visit and see Miriam. She got so many cute outfits; I'm excited for her to wear them. I spent most of the open house visiting with my high school friend, Dani. We had a lot of catching up to do. :)













Here's Dani and I with our babies, Hailey and Miriam. Hailey is 4 1/2 months old here; Miriam is 1 month old. Miri looks so small next to Hailey's rotund little cheeks.
