The Bride's Family

Our Newest Family Picture!

My Princesses...

Lee and Aaron were married in the Snowflake temple May 16th 2009 for time and all eternity. It was a beautiful sealing and was very neat to have all of Pete's family and spouses in the sealing room. There was such a sweet spirit there and we were so happy to witness it. Families are Forever and my testimony of it grows everytime I am in the temple more and more.

Love little Feet!

Best Buds Already!

Practicing in my sleep...

Jett is so stinkin cute...he really is you know! He is also such a good baby which I am thankful for. He has made having 3 kids seem like a piece of cake! He doesn't miss a meal and loves to snuggle and sleep. His down falls...puke and poop...yep seem about right on for his age we're so proud!

Conversations with MEL...

"Mom I love you, thank you for being nice today."

"When are we going to TIMETOP to see my grandma that lives in the woods?"

7am "I'm hungry can I have pizza?"

10am "Can I have a snack, can I have pizza?"

12pm "What's for lunch...can I have pizza?"

5pm "Can we have pizza for dinner"

8pm "Mom I am still hungry can I have pizza?"

Me :"Melanie tell grandma what your favorite food is?"
Mel :"Eggs"

"Mom do I have Pretty-School today?"

I love my conversations with Mel I especially love how she thinks that I enrolled my Princess in Pretty-School.

Just Hanging Out...

Jett is now three weeks here, we are just hanging out and catching up on sleep when we can. I went back to coaching track after 2 weeks. Good thing Jett is a good baby and I had lots of help! Thank you Great Grandma, Grandma and even Aunt Beth! The track kids have been very cute they couldn't understand why I wouldn't bring him out to track yet! They were very anxious to see him!

Country Living = Fun with Dirt

The girls went with my mom up to ride Grey the horse...and came back looking like this! They managed to find the super soft powder-like dirt that my grandpa had stirred up by plowing the front field. Needless to say they had a blast! When we first moved down here Mel would cry when her hands got dirty...now look at my girl! Country Living Gotta Love It!

The COOLEST Dad EVER!

Pete came home from work with some dry ice...pretty random yet the girls had a blast and Pete was the Coolest Dad Ever! Way to go Pete ...you earned major cool dad points!

Two Weeks Old

Holding Jett just doesn't seem to get old...he is going to be one spoiled little brother!

Easter Sunday

So fun to dress up a little guy for a change! Here are the kiddos Easter Sunday all dressed up and ready to go to Church. The Easter Bunny did come leaving baskets full of candy and a kite. He even remembered to bring Jett a basket...Megan couldn't believe that Jett got more PEEPS than she did! I reassured her that Jett would share considering he doesn't even have teeth. What a fun morning! Happy Easter!

Jett One Week Old

We can't get enough of this little guy... he is precious and we are loving having him around! Pete was able to be home with us Jett's first week. He was such a sweet husband helping run the house. What I loved most about him being home was being able to share the excitement of having Jett finally here safely with us in our arms and in our home with my best friend...love you Pete!

McRae Easter BBQ

We had a fun quick throw together family get together with our McRae cousins the Saturday before Easter. I always remember having BBQ's with my McRae cousins at Easter in St. David. They are good memories, good food, good company and always an Easter EGG HUNT. After so many years it was fun to see all my cousins grown up with families of thier own, and catching up with my Aunts and Uncles. Even though it was a little chilly we still had fun, good BBQ, coloring eggs, Easter egg hunt, snow cones (yummy) and even a few competitive games of dodgeball?!?!

Easter Egg HUNT...

The older cousins hide the eggs and they did a really good job...as I am writing this past tense I can tell you that we are still finding candy eggs out in the yard!!! Everyone had a great time!
