Aleena's Blessing

We absolutely love this girl, and are so blessed to have her in our family. Jaxon did such a good job giving his little girl a blessing, and of course I cried.

My Girl

Does she look like her mama?

She has her mama's big mouth

I just love this little girl

Sunday Afternoon with a Camera

Last Sunday was stake conference, which meant getting to go to church together, and no meetings afterwards.... which to me meant family picture time! Jaxon was less than thrilled (which is why he is only in one), but Dax was really into it and was great! Here are a few of my favorites...

This was the last picture taken, and judging by her face she was done.

Mmmmm Peaches.....

Good Times

Life with two kids is a challenge, but we are loving every minute of it :)

Taylor is here for Thanksgiving and it has been so great to see her. Ali likes her aunt Taylor too, can you tell??

While Taylor has been here she has been taking some pictures of the kids and doing mini photo shoots, here are just a few of the pictures she has taken.

Happy big brother

Ali's First Time at Church

On Sunday we took Ali to church for the first time, and I had a little bit of fun dressing her up. She looked so cute and was such a good girl, we might just do it again next week :)

and then there were 4.

When I was first contracted to update the blog I wasn't sure I wanted the job. The comments from family in previous posts don't really reflect the aggression that is almost tangible in the repeated anonymous phone calls, and threats by mail to update the blog on a daily basis. You know who you are.

That in mind my goal is simply to keep posting pictures of the children until Cori starts blogging again.

One of the few moments with her eyes open.

Aunt Julia was a tremendous help the last week. We had a hard time letting her get back to taking care of Brett.

The hardest part was talking Aunt Julia into holding the baby.

Even though he has been amazing with Ali, in some ways I think Dax is having a hard time making the transition. If you look real close you can see the terror in his eyes as he realizes it just won't be the same anymore.
