Bumbo mania! And fun with friends...



We had a lot of fun with our friends...and as you can see so did our kids. Lots of chocolate covered faces!


So, the Sniders are letting us borrow their Bumbo for Lia. She has wanted to sit up for awhile now and this is helping her do just that. She is so cute just hanging out in her little seat. Hannah, of course had to get in on the action and try it out herself...

Happy Anniversary!


I can't believe Flavio and I have been married for five years. I know that may not be long compared to many, but the time has really gone by. We have been through so much together already and feel that we have really weathered the storms well together. I am so grateful to have such a kind and loving man to spend my life and eternity with. We have two beautiful daughters that we couldn't love more. I know I am being gushy...but that is how I feel. I am so thankful for all that I have and I can't wait until Flavio and I celebrate 50 years of marriage. What a crazy, fun, trying, scary, wonderful ride this has already been...I hope the next five bring us just as much joy. I love you loves!

Hannah the artist?

Here is a picture Hannah drew. I was so proud of her...she is anatomically correct and everything. She came in and said, "I drew Gramma and Grandpa!". Not sure which one is which, but I was impressed.

Merry Christmas!

We wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and let you know that we do know that our Savior lives. Let us remember Him in all we do this Christmas season and hopefully throughout the year. Let us be kinder and more generous to those in need. We love you and wish for you to feel all the magic this time of year has to offer.

Some cute pictures of my girls

I love this picture...Lia is looking at Hannah like she is nuts, while Hannah's hair is showing it's true self. Got to love the hair...



Lia wasn't too excited for these pictures...but I think it is still cute :) Merry Christmas everyone!

Lia

Lia's birth mother at the last second (literally) decided to give us the greatest gift: Lia. She selflessly gave up her rights and we now have two beautiful daughters forever. Thank you for those who prayed and fasted for us. The case workers said they felt the Spirit so strong there and moments before the hearing, Lia's birth mother said that she would go through with it. Thank you for all your love and support...it has been a crazy ride.
