My Baby Turns 3

Last Saturday we celebrated the birth of our sweet Brinlee Jo. I can't believe it has already been 3 years. At the time of her birth I didn't know if I was going to make it to the next hour, or day, but here I am 3 years later. I am so thankful for the opportunity I had to have Brinlee in my life, even though it was so short. I am so glad she never will have to experience any trials in her life, and that she has the golden ticket into heaven that we all strive for daily. I am so thankful for her 3 siblings who have blessed my life so much, and who bring joy to me every day. I am so thankful for the knowledge of have of eternal families, and look forward to the day when I will get to hold my beautiful daughter in my arms again.
We celebrated Brinlee's birthday by just spending time as family. We took 3 balloons to her grave and sent them free, as we always do. Then we drove to Preston and had a picnic in the park and played with our girls. It was a great day to reflect on all we have, and our sweet daughter.
Happy Birthday baby girl. I love you so much.

Easter

I know I am a slacker when it comes to blogging, but I guess better late then never. For Easter this year we went to Salmon for the weekend with my parents, and two sisters and their families. My Grandma & Grandpa Hume live up there and we have made it a traditon to go visit them every Easter. The weather actually cooperated and we got to enjoy a little sunshine for the first time this year. The girls are starting to really get excited about things, so holidays just keep getting funner and funner. Here are some pictures from our weekend. Sorry about the picture overload, but it's hard to choose between pictures when your kids are as cute as mine. :) Playing outside with Daddy


Decorating Easter eggs was a lot of fun. As expected Bailee threw her eggs in the the dye while Berklee placed them gently in. They both did not quite understand that you couldn't eat the eggs with the shell on and both ended up with multi colored mouths by the time we were finished.
