blessings in more ways than one...

our 4th and final's baby blessing. love the tongue, girl!

isn't this a dang cute dress? got it for kait and carli got to wear it too. i'm sad to put it away in the closet never to be worn again.

there's that smile we love!

all the family over for food after the blessing

carli and aunt deni. she's determined to have one of my girls love her since kait always gives her the stink eye. she shouldn't be offended though, kait gives a lot of people the stink-eye.

best cousins: kait and ella

my awesome cousins. the only ones i have here in utah. my side of the family was 6 of us. brian's side was over 30!

diana, ella, and hannah

cute girls in their yellow dresses and bare feet. oh, the long, warm days of summer.

bless diana's heart. after the cousins left that were close to her in age she announced she was bored and ready to go home. i went into the basement and she had found Logan all alone (he always gets left out because Michael and Jackson are buds, hannah and diana are buds, ella and kait are buds) and so she started playing with him. they came upstairs holding hands and out into the backyard. when her mom told her it was time to go, she said, "can we stay for one more hour?" bless her heart for making Logan happy and a part of something. sweet girl. she stole my heart that afternoon.
