Jaylee's Blessing Day

There really are no words for the feelings and emotions for this special day. This day was met with bittersweet emotions of joy and peace that we are blessed with another child to give a name and blessing to and the sting and reminder of dreams shattered that we did not get this special moment with big sister Jocelyn.
Once we were at the church and just before Jaylee was called up with John to be blessed a very calm and peaceful joy came over me. Knowing and feeling Jocelyn near and her joy and love for little sister.
Thank you all were able to share in this special day and moment with us.

I think she was done with pictures by the time I put her cute headband back on. She was so good and tolerant though. Thanks to my friend Steph who made her beautiful bow.

Jacob Turns The Big 8

Wow Jacob's 8th Birthday was a party with his baptism all on one day!! My brother Sean out did himself again in the cake department. Jacob had been into monster trucks during this time and still is but not in the way he was during is 8th birthday.

But before we had all this cake fun we filled the morning with the spirit of the Lord and Jacob being baptized by his father. Seeing John preform this sacred duty always brings tears to my eyes. I am so proud of Jacob and his choices and the young man is becoming.

Joseph Turns 6

Although we are just few short months away from turning 7 years old.....

Joseph has been obsessed with sharks and all things ocean and even know his world revolves around sharks. So for his 6th birthday we had a shark theme with all things sharks including a fabulous cake made by brother Sean.

Tender Items And Moments

Just before Jaylee was born I had ordered this mothers necklace from another angel mom, who was raising money to help other bereaved families in honor of her angel's birthday. I know many have seen it on facebook, but I love this necklace and seeing all my children's names and birthstones.

About the time I got this in mail I started thinking of how small Jaylee is and yet she was little bigger then her sister so I thought for fun lets compare size in a side by side picture their feet. I pulled out one of Jocelyn's feet molds and held it up next to Jaylee's and whoa!! their fee are the same length!!! I love my girls

Jaylee's 1st Moments At Home

Better Late then never I say.....

So we when we brought Jaylee home for the 1st time we wasted no time to give her, her first bath at home or torture moment as she would tell you.

But then to make up for this form of baby torture is the cuddle time with brothers or could be viewed a milder form of torture since it is not mommy.

Awe at last I can have some alone time in the comfy bouncy chair.

Crickets....

It sounds like crickets in here.......
