Once again...

...I am amazed at how quickly I fall in love!

I have always loved babies and I enjoy seeing other people's new babies and holding them and playing with them. Babies are adorable and sweet and innocent. They are fun to hold and then fun to give back!

But when we have a new baby in the family, it immediately becomes so much more! Our babies are all adorable and sweet and innocent AND they are mine! I immediately feel totally connected to them and can not even look at them without an outpouring of love. My heart is full-to-overflowing.

I'm so glad Heavenly Father organized us into families. And I am so grateful for each and every member of my family. I love them all! And right now, I especially love this adorable little sleepy guy!

What more is there to say?

Quote of the Moment

In the tradition of The Amazing Anderkids (man, those kids are funny!) here is our whispered conversation in the middle of church yesterday.
Aubrey, age 4, looking at numbers written on Maddie's hand: Did everyone get a "7" and a "5" or just you?
Maddie: Everyone had a different number.
Nana: Did you know those numbers or did Maddie tell them to you?
Aubrey: I just knew them.
Nana: Man, you are getting smarter every day. You are one smart girl!
Aubrey: (Stares at Nana for a few seconds) FROGS are not smart. They eat each other! One frog swallows the other frog and it gets stuck in his throat. And then they BOTH die!!

Um. Yeah. Those frogs. They are really dumb.

I didn't know how to respond to that one. Just had to laugh out loud!

I love having grandchildren!

Get Busy!

Why don't I just buckle down (or is it "knuckle down?" I can't decide!**) and pay my bills?

Looking at old photos is making me sad, anyway!

Pink Princess

Doesn't this little girl look like a princess?

Susan wore this dress to church when she was little and now Aubrey fits in it. She is a doll!
She's even cute when looking "less than ladylike!"

Amulek's Visit

Oh, yes. And Amy and Lamoni's too...:) They all came to see us last week. We had a fun visit.

This little boy can smile now.

His Aunt Maddie smiles whenever she holds him.

He does love his Aunt Maddie.


We sure do love him. (Oh yes. And his mommy and daddy too!)

Camp NANA - Pirateland

Aaar! Watch out for these guys!


Can you mark "X" on the spot blindfolded?

There be treasure buried in that-there sandbox...

Lunch included octo-dogs, pirates on a log, and breadstick x’s. A big hit! Notice the Build-a-Bear pirate dogs and princesses we sewed and stuffed.

This may have been the most fun Camp Nana yet...
