MY LITTLE MODEL

My friend came over and we did a photo shoot with little Anna-Elizabeth. These are just a few pictures that she sent me so far!! I love them, I think they show off how ADORABLE she is!

This is her in her blessing dress.

She is laying on "her quilt," the one I made her!

There are a few more pictures on Mel's blog...CHECK THEM OUT

**Special thank you to Mel, for the amazing pictures and Courtney for the hat and flowers, they help make the pictures**

Anna-Elizabeth

Here is our sweet little girl!! She was born today at 11:22 am. She was 8lbs 14oz and 21 inches long. She was been such a good girl!! She is happy and content and has slept and ate really well!! It is nice to have a blessing at the end of the day! We love her so much! Will wanted to keep holding her (but only for about 1 min at a time) and Isaac thought she was cool to look at, but just patted her tummy when she was put on his lap!

We are both feeling well and hopfully we can go home tomorrow! Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts that were in our behalf!

Easter Eggs

Here are the boys and their Loot! They had tons of fun on their Eater Egg hunt. We had to do it in the house because by the time we were ready to have it...it was raining. It was really nice in the am before Conference, but we just weren't ready for the day, then between sessions, Isaac was napping and so it hed to be after confrence and before dinner...

The day was great. We actually tried to talk a lot about the "true" meaning of Easter with the boys. But later that evening when we asked Will what Easter was about, he said: the Easter Bunny bring us presents and Easter Egg hunts. We will have to work a little harder!

"A-BOO"

We went to "A-boo" ( the A sounding like the "a" in talk) on Friday. That is how Will says it and it is so cute!! It was a really good day and we had tons of fun. Wee started off at the park, eating lunch...I tell you this because that is where the cutest pics of the kids came from. Then we went on a wagon tour of Old Nauvoo. We had actually never been on it. It was fun and Isaac kept screaming " neigh, neigh" every time he saw the horses that were pulling it! Then we went to the Browning Gun shop and Adam was IN LOVE!! and the brick yard where Isaac and Will decided they would go a little crazy...thankfully it is off season and there weren't too many people!!

Next, I went to the temple and the boy headed down to see the limestone quarry where the stone for the original temple was cut and then sent up to the temple (about a mile away). After the quarry and the temple, we headed home. it was a ton of fun and even despite the naps the boy took on the 2 hour car ride, they still went to bed on time!! YAY!!

I seriously LOVE that town. There is definitely a strong spirit there and it permeates you as you enter. I LOVE that the boys like to be there, too. Will talked about it all week before we left!!! I am sure Isaac would have too, he just doesn't talk! I hope to be able to keep it as a part of our lives, even after it is no longer close to us!
