Allie's 5th Birthday!

Allie had her birthday earlier this month. I can't believe my baby girl is 5 already! Apparently she felt the same way because on her birthday she looked up at me with great puzzlement and said, "But mom, I really don't feel like I'm 5!"

Just joined facebook

Ok, So I finally joined facebook!!!! I am totally confused at how to use it!!! I'm sure I can figure it out though! I didn't realize that everyone in the whole entire world is on facebook! You all have been trying to convince me to join for so long, so I finally decided to since I have an app for it on my new Blackberry Tour! We'll see how it goes!

baby blessing invitation

You've all been asking when we are blessing Katherine, so I just wanted to let know that I finally set the date for October 11 at 9 am, here in New Mexico, in our ward. It's the fast sunday after General Conference. We would love to have anyone come that wants to. We don't have a lot of room in our cozy house these days, but we have some reasonable hotels in town, or you are welcome to set up a tent in our backyard (I have a huge 3 room tent that I can have my boys set up), and I'm sure we can find space in our house too, for anyone that would rather stay inside with us and help me with the cooking and clean up and stuff (hint, hint). Anyway, let me know!

Gramie, Grandaddy and Uncle Jared Come Visit

Katherine is holding the musical dolly that Gramie had Aunt Beth make!

Everyone got a lot of sun at Sams soccer game. Sam loved all the cheering!

Katherine and Gramie smile so sweetly at each other.

Katherine slept so peacefully in Grandaddy's strong arms.

Katherine's Smile

"Kaffy" or "Caffeine"?

The first day we brought Katherine home, I noticed that Sam kept calling the baby "Kaffy". When Jeff heard

this, he shouted with great disqust, " Sam! her name is NOT CAFFIENE!!!" Sam then giggled and replied, "OHHHH, I just kept hearing Allie call her Kaffy and I thought that was her nickname! "

protect her

Vaughn tells Katherine, "I will protect you from the monsters and the bad guys!"
