Baby Shower

The question for today is...

and the answer is...we do!!

Today we had a baby shower for Jodi and the new baby boy that will soon become part of their beautiful family. Here are a few pictures from the day...

One of the coolest and most useful gifts I've ever seen...a cake made of diapers! Nice job, Leslie, you're creativeness is amazing!!

Lots of new clothes for the little guy...

Jonathan, is this true? "Daddy and I agree Mommy's the boss!"

Adorable outfit from Jodi's mom...

The baby's first Build-a-Bear from Grandma and Grandpa Lindley...

I had to put this picture up just because it's pretty. The lemonade. Ooooo. Aaaah.

Jodi, you are one of the most beautiful pregnant ladies I have ever seen! You looked amazing today and I hope that you left feeling amazing and loved by your friends. You deserve it. That little guy is one lucky fella to have you and Jonathan as his mom and dad!!

Birthday Wishes

Happy Birthday, Dad!!!

Little girls who are blessed with a great father are among the luckiest people alive -- I am, without a doubt, one of the luckiest. My dad is such a hard-working man, who has taught us the value of a strong work ethic and the satisfaction that comes with seeing the fruits of your labor. He is also a compassionate man who loves his family dearly. Never has a day passed that I didn't know my dad loves me and is proud of me - the confidence a girl gains from having such knowledge is indescribable. My dad also has a great sense of humor!! His one-liners that you aren't expecting are hilarious! :-)

Dad, wishing you a wonderful day today on your birthday!! I hope you have a great trip and your team wins one in honor of you!! ;-) I love you with all my heart. Happy Birthday!!

The Day of Lu-u-uv!!

Recipe for Perfection

Saturday. Sunny. Warm. Hiking. Will. Bailey and Kelsee. What more could a girl ask for? It's the recipe for a perfect day. Some quotes from our day... :-)

Bailey and Kelsee to Will: "Why does Mom always make us stop for dumb pictures?"

Will, Stacey, Bailey & Kelsee: "Really? Snow? In 65 degree weather? Weird. But beautiful."

Bailey to Will: "That feels good...oh, up a little...no, down and to the right..."
Kelsee to Stacey: "Are you kidding me? We had to stop our hike for this??"

Kelsee to Bailey: "Look sister, I can even do tricks and we're still faster than Mom!!"

Bailey to Will: "Dad, it's easy...you cross the river like this..."

Kelsee to Bailey: "Sister, get out of my way, it's my turn!"
Stacey to anyone who would listen: "Noooooooooooo!!!!"
(Bailey took quite the tumble, but jumped up like nothing had happened. Whew!)

Kelsee thinks to herself: "Maybe she's faster because her tail is shorter??"

Bailey and Kelsee to the tune from Dukes of Hazzard: "YEE HAW!!"

Stacey: "I LOVE SPRING!!!"

Bailey: "My mom's a weirdo...I don't know her right now."

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! Find reasons to be happy...you'll be glad you did!

It's A Hard Knock Life

Do you ever have a day when you've just worked so hard, you know, playing hide and seek and stuff like that...


...that when your day is done, you're just so exhausted that you can't even muster to continue chewing your bone...and you just fall asleep???


Ya, me too. Life is rough.

(Please forgive my numerous posts of nothing but the dogs...we really lead an exhilarating life, huh!!)
