Happy Birthday Svester

What a delicious day! And I am not just talking about the salads Betsy and I had for lunch. It was so great to visit with my Svester on her birthday. I appreciate all the insight to motherhood she is able to give me, and I am so glad I have her experience to glean from. Happy Birthday, Svester!!

Almost Brothers

Betsy and I agree that there is something about the two of these that is so similar. Although Betsy's Cannon and my Brigham are cousins, they do look quite a bit alike. We hope they will be extra close because of it. One thing they do have in common is they are both adorable!! If I must say so myself. :) This picture was taken at the Riverton Parade 7-3-09.

My Favorite Blanket

All I can say is "I'm so proud". Just kidding. I don't know that it is necessarily a good thing that Takara is so much like me. For those who know me well, they all know about my famous baby blaket. For those who don't know about it, well, it is probably for the best. You might not look at me the same again. Well, this is Takara's favorite blanket. When it goes into the wash she pounds on the washing machine door until I can distract her with something else. When it comes out of the dryer, she cheers, and it makes her happy for the rest of the afternoon. She loves to put a finger through the crochet holes on the edges. She even loves the matching burp cloth that goes along with it. I am sure she will be forever grateful to Barbara for making it for her :) She even loves to share it with her baby.

Five Months Old

I meant to post this the day Brigham turned 5 months, and although I am a little late, I guess I should be glad I posted it at all. Brigham is five months old now and I am just wondering where the time has gone.

Growing up so fast!

I can't believe how fast Takara is growing up. I took this picture yesterday, Sunday, July 5th. Of course she has her trusty little baby "Brigham" with her. That is what she calls her baby.
