Cute face disease

This kid has got it bad!


Royce's First Steps!

It has happened this morning in the Residence Inn he was holding onto the couch, I said "come here Royce" and he took two steps to me! Good job baby boy! Here is a picture of him getting really excited about a stuffed Maximus (from Tangled) horse I gave him at the Disney store. He love anything soft and cuddly but especially stuffed animals!

Bella turned 4, Happy Bithday!

When Luke turned 4 I thought he was so big but Bella still seems young. Maybe it because I have Luke to compare her too. We had a fun day full of swimming, Chuckee-cheeses, pizza, ice cream and as many shows as they could stay up to watch (they finally fell asleep at nine thirty which is late compared to their usual bedtime of 7pm). Bella has changed so much this year! Turning from a toddler to a little girl. She is becoming more aware of others around her and really wanting to help and please. She still comes and gets in bed with us almost every night. Whenever she doesn't want to do something her classic response is "I can't my legs hurt" lol. She is very creative and loves anything pink or has to do with mermaids. Her best friend is still her big brother Luke. They spend hours playing together everyday. She is a bit of a tomboy and doesn't mind getting a dirty or wrestling a little. She is always surprising with her natural ability to create, draw and understand peoples needs. She is definately a nice mix of both James and I. Her nick is Sassy pant which she will refer to herself as (a little of me). She can also get absorbed in a deep imagination (a little James), she is quite the actress. Most of all she is a darling blessing to our lives and I am thankful for everyday we get the chance to spend together.






Houston

Blast from the past

James grew up near Houston, in Spring TX. We were able to go to his old ward this past Sunday. I got to meet so many of the families he has told me stories about. It was wonderful to meet these kind people and get to hear stories of James. The Child's family who James actually lived with during the last semester of his senior year invited us for dinner. Here is James and them with their 2 youngest kids are pictured below.
