Ella's Prayer

Last night we were up in the play room and out of the blue Ella told me that she needed to say a prayer. She walked over to our couch and knelt down in front of it, clasped her hands, closed her eyes, and prayed.

Dear Lord,
I know that Jesus is King. I want Him to live in my heart. I want to obey and be a good little girl. Please bless my mommy, daddy and my sister. Amen. Oh and Dear Lord, I love you so much Jesus. Amen.

I had tears streaming down my face at her heartfelt sincerity. As Jesus said, "Let the little children come unto me."

Fall Leaves

It seems we have now made a tradition of taking pictures in the beautiful fall leaves. As you can tell, we had a wonderful time playing in our front yard in the beautiful autumn weather.

Apple Pickin'

Earlier this fall we went apple pickin'. It was so much fun to see Ella get so excited over all the apples. Even though they were everywhere, she acted like each one was a priceless treasure.

Brenna's First Cereal

I was planning on waiting until Brenna was six months old to start her on cereal, but she had a different plan in mind. The other day we were eating lunch and she would throw her hands above her head and lean over towards Ella's food trying to grab it. When Ella would take a bite, Brenna would whimper. We decided that it was time to feed the poor child.

She really liked her food. Once she got a taste of it, she started crying between every bite. The feeding went like this: WWWWAAAAAAHHHHHH....MMMMMmmmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmmm... WWWWAAAAAAHHHHHH....MMMMMmmmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmmm.... WWWWAAAAAAHHHHHH....MMMMMmmmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmmm! She is a very neat eater though. I guess she wants to make sure she gets every last drop of food into her mouth.

Brenna and Grandma

My grandma sure does love her great grandchildren!

Graffiti Artist

Several members of my family went out to the Cadillac Ranch to spray paint the cars. Ella really enjoyed herself.



And after 40 years my parents are still in love! It does a daughter's heart good. LOL

Sleeping Beauty

I've decided I must really love sleeping baby pictures, because we have a ton of them. Here are a few of Brenna.

Papa makes such a good bed...


Is that a Daddy in love or what?


And my personal favorite. She really is asleep under there.

Bubble Fun

On our recent trip to visit Granny and Papa, Ella was blowing some bubbles on the deck. I can't believe how fast she is growing up. Last summer she wasn't able to do this on her own!

Sweet Sisters

These are the first professional pictures I had made of the girls. Brenna is 4 months old.
