A blessing

I love the 4th of July because a lot of my family come to Rexburg to celebrate. This time was a lot of fun because most of them met Ariah for the first time. I believe that the majority of people who see her for the first time comment on her hair. It is so fun to share her with family. We had a lot of really fun activities. Ariah was a good sport through all the noise, excitement and all the foods mommy probably should not have ate. Thank heavens for gas drops! These last couple of weeks have been so fun with her. She is starting to smile all the time and laughs in her sleep so I think that it is only a matter of time before she does it when she is awake. She also likes to chat it up especially to her toys. I think that she is going through a growth spurt because she just wants to eat all day the last couple of days. It is so fun to see her grow but I am sure I will miss my tiny baby.


She was watching the parade.

This is how I found her in the car seat after a 20 min drive. Her binki is pushing up her nose. Thankfully it didn't stick!

She was blessed this sunday. It just reminds me how lucky I am to have the gospel in my life and to have a husband that holds the preisthood. I love my family and am so so sad to see them go. Now it will be harder to run away for a weekend trip to see them but we will have to just make it happen. :)

She is adorable! And looks so different from the last picture I saw. I wanted to stop when I saw you the other day but I was in a big hurry to get to work and didn't have time. :( One of these days we'll have to get together and catch up. :)

She's so cute! and I love her hair! It makes me sad because Bry had tonz too when she was born, then about 5 months she lost it..... LOL oh well it is slowly coming back, and much lighter too,. but i bet it will eventually turn dark again. she's cute, and yes isn't it nice to have a worthy wonderful husband who holds the priesthood! we are so blessed!

She is super cute and I just have to comment on her hair too - it is just great! Nathan was always so bald, so it's nice that she gets to be a little girl and have all that hair. I'm so glad you're having fun with her! The gospel is such a blessing. It is definitely SO much more work to travel with a baby/toddler. It doesn't seem to get much easier, sorry to say. Now that we're expecting #2, I don't think I'll make it anywhere. (:
