Daddy Daughter Delight!

 

It's that time of year again...the daddy daughter dance put on thru Penny's school Somerset! Penny was beyond excited to go on her special date with just her daddy! She loves feeling special and we all know who is the best at that....DADDY!! He truly is the best dad ever! I'm not sure who's luckier...Chad having Penny as his daughter or Penny having chad as her dad! Both are perfect and amazing! We couldn't have asked for a more sweet, smart special,caring daughter like Penny!! and of course Daddy! He could never be replaced! He's one of a kind and totally amazing in every way! I'm blessed to have both these beauties in my life! 

They had a blast at the dance as you can see! Penny said she can't wait for her next date with Daddy!

Baby Piper is 1 month old!

 

Seriously has already been a month?! Why does the time go so fast! I can't have my baby is getting big over here! lol! She's the sweetest! She's got her own little look! We can't figure it out! lol! Has Penny's hair color, eye color, and skin color with Cash's shaped face, nose and mouth! All we know is that she is perfect! Of course she has sick tummy like my other 2 as babies! She was moved to Alimentum aka: Liquid Gold when she was 2.5 wks old! She has been doing much better! Not as fussy but, still has acid reflex and cries out after feeding her arching her back like her tummy is hurting! Poor thing! All and all she is such a good baby! So precious and perfect!

 Penny and Cash sure can't get enough of her! Penny loves that she can pick her up and carry her around the house! She loves that she doesn't always have to sit with her! Such a big sister!! Cash is very protective of her! He loves holding her! He's so sweet with her! Love these big kids! Such loving helpful kids to Piper!!!

Sweet baby Piper Rae! We love you so  much! You are the perfect addition to our family! Sent straight from my mothers arms in heaven to me!

Baby Piper's 1st Bath!

Somebody had their 1st Bath!! Oh how we LOVE our Piper Rae! and Oh how we have such BIG helpers! The big kids were so excited when we said it's time for Piper's 1st bath! They jumped in the tub so fast to help! lol! Love it! Love how they just love their baby so much! They are both so great with her!! As far as bath time went.... Piper LOVEE it! She didn't even make a peep! She layed ther so calm while daddy and the kids bathed her! She's the best! Such a good sweet baby! Sure can't wait for many more baths to come and either can Penny and Cash! We love you Piper!

A Special Day!

A special day for a special boy! My sweet nephew Benjamin got Baptized! We are so proud of him and his decision to join the church! He is such a great Boy always leading by example! Chooses the right daily and I'm proud to say my kids look up to him and i couldn't be happier! He has the best little personality and love for life and his family! Chad had the honor to speak at his Baptism on the Gift of the Holy Ghost! My honz did such a great job! Truly grateful to be apart of this church! We receive blessings daily that we are thankful for!  We love you Benjamin!

A New Arrival for the New Year!

 What a way to ring in the New Year with our New bundle of joy! Straight from my mother's arms in heaven to us here on earth... Piper Rae arrived c-section (37wks) on Tues, Jan 3rd at 10:10 am at Sumerlin Hospital! She weighed 7.7 lbs and 20.5 ins long! Our biggest baby! With tons of black hair and gorgeous tan skin! The c-section started out great like always and as soon as baby Piper was out my Uterus stopped working and would not contract and function properly! Same thing that happened when i delivered Cash but worse. I was loosing a lot of blood do to this non functioning uterus so almost hysterectomy and almost blood transfusion! I'm so grateful for my amazing duo Dr.'s -husband and wife Dr. Roberts! They have saved my life with every child that i have delivered! It's always scary when they tell your husband to leave the surgery room with baby Piper as they continued work on getting me to stop bleeding. You could see the concern in the dr. eyes. Every organ out of my stomach as Dr. Lisa Roberts was up on the surgery table pushing on my stomach and uterus to get it contract so they could start sewing me shut. I wasn't in any pain but i could feel the pressure and movement of my body. i started throwing up. It was awful! But with my dr.'s magic hands i was put back together! Sore and very bruised but i survived once again! No more babies for me! My Dr.'s say my uterus can't handle it and i agreed we are blessed with 3 beautiful babies! We are done! Couldn't be happier! Just look at Baby Piper! We can't get enough of her! She is such a beautiful perfect addition to our sweet family! We are blessed beyond measure!

 So in LOVE! 3rd child born on the 3rd! Jan 3rd! :)

 This collage is when Penny and Cash arrived at the hospital to meet their new Baby Sister! Penny was so excited! Couldn't wait to hold her real life baby! Cash was a little stand off-ish trying to figure out what's going on! He kept saying Piper was still in my tummy! Nope she's right here! Baby Piper is here! But then he warmed right up and has been such a big helper! Both of them have been great! The adjustment hasn't been to hard! It's busy especially when i need to get all loaded and out the door at a certain time! lol but other than that we are over the moon just loving our Sweet Beautiful Piper Rae!

 

Lots of snuggles! Lots of little helpers! Can't believe we have 3 babies! My heart is full of joy and so happy! Truly blessed to be their mommy!

 We just can't get over how perfect she is! Her tan skin, dark eyes, tons of dark hair! Just perfection! She reminds me a lot of her big sister Penny but has facial similarities of Cashy! What can i say we are just in love with baby Piper!

All the love from all our visitors! We are so grateful for our family and all they do for us! Thanks for coming and meeting baby Piper Rae! We have felt so much love these last few weeks! We are lucky!

What an Accomplishment!

Words can not express how proud I am of my sister! She recently ran and completed her very first Marathon! 26.2 Miles! Man i don't even think I could even do the 2 out of the 26.2 miles! Her hard work, determination, and dedication amazes me! She seriously can do anything and everything! We had such a fun night spotting her and Joanna at all the different mile markers! We wanted to give them something to look forward to as they came up to the next mile! They never knew where they would spot us next and that's what kept them going! 26.2 miles is a long time to run! We had a blast! The kids would get so excited to see them running by! We would then hop  in our car and Chad would map out what mile marker we should head next! So much fun! Love these Aunties! They are the most amazing! Such an inspiration! We are so proud of you girls!!! You did it!!!

Fun things Happening for Penny!

 

Oh man 1st grade has been a busy start for all of us!! For me it's been an eye opener balancing everything i do from working to being mom and wife to sitting down and working with her on all her homework, sight words, and reading and projects! I didn't realize the time it takes to really work  with her on these things and how much needs to be done at home for her to excel! Well boy do  we have it down now! We have our systems and she has been doing awesome! I'm so proud of her! The sight words and reading have been a challenge for us! but she is getting it and got an award for reaching her AR reading goal! So proud! Working hard pays off! She is so amazing! Love the determination she has!

Also at school all the 1st graders put on the cutest Thanksgiving Program! Of course Penny sang her little heart out! She did amazing on her speaking part! Just love my little performer!
