LJ's Blessing

 LJ was given a name and a blessing by her father on September 30, 2012.  He gave her such a beautiful blessing  and the day was very nice.  We got to church in plenty of time and she was very calm during her blessing!

 I found this dress for LJ on etsy while I was pregnant.  When we found out we were having a girl I was very excited to have already have a dress picked out for her.  The woman who made it was very kind and was willing to make a few changes that I wanted!

 R did such a nice job with the blessing.  A few of the things he blessed her with were to have a good work ethic, to have a good sense of humor, to find peace, joy, and happiness in this life, to seek knowledge in this life, and to gain a testimony.  He also blessed her to find joy in being a part of our family, which I thought was so nice.  There were  other things she was blessed with, but those things really stood out to me.

 C loves her baby sister.  She has never been jealous of her and has always been quite protective of her.  She was so excited to see LJ all dressed up!

 M is such a great helper to me with LJ.  She is always wanting to help with the baby and I think LJ is starting to feel really comfortable with M!  I am so blessed to have these girls in my life.

 B also loves little LJ.  She kept saying how beautiful her wedding dress was!  I had to correct her and tell her it was a blessing dress!  In her defense it does look like a wedding dress!

 I love these girls and my husband so much.  I feel so lucky to have them in my life! 

 

LJ's outfit for after her blessing!  I was too worried she might ruin her pretty dress!

Lately LJ is starting to suck things and her dress was no exception!

This was her response when I kept pulling the dress out of her mouth!

At the Park

The other day we went to the park to play while M had her last girls on the run practice.  The girls ran to the park and had a little celebration and we just decided to play while they ran!

 C is fearless and will do anything.  She had so much fun at the park.  Actually, don 't tell her it is a park...she insists it is a playground.  I don't know where she got that from but I don't argue about it!

 B had so much fun!  It ended up that several kids from her first grade class were there and she had lots of fun running around and playing with them.  She also loved the pop cycle the she got when the runners had their little party!  (she loves red, white, and blue pop cycles!)

 When M came her and some of her friends climbed up this spider web thing.  She had a lot of fun this year participating in girls on the run and is really excited to run the 5K with her daddy!

On a side note C was climbing up this web type toy and fell but was able to catch herself in the process of falling.  Instead of crying or being upset she said "ta-da"!  She is such a silly girl!  She makes us laugh quite a bit which is fun for all of us!
