Little Baker

Today, Millie and I needed a little treat.  We decided to make chocolate chip cookies.  When I asked her if she wanted to help me make cookies, she was all for it!  We pulled up a chair, and she helped dump in the ingredients.  Sometimes she missed, and made a mess, but this time I didn't mind.  It was all fun!  And with a good wipe down we were good.  She loves to swipe her little finger across the butter, poke her fingers in the sugar, and shovel in the flour with a spoon...all for a little taste.

She just randomly started dancing in this picture.  The girl can dance.  And she does!  

All. The. Time.  Music or not.  My favorite!

We had a fun afternoon together.   

I hope she never stops wanting to bake with me. 

Love this little baker of mine! 

Ivy: Three Months Old

Someone, please stop time!  These two are growing too fast for me.  

Love my little ladies!

Ivy's Blessing Day

On Sunday, July 1st, 2012, our Ivy Elizabeth was blessed by her dad.  We decided to do it in Utah where more of our family could attend.  Cason gave the sweetest most powerful blessing.  It is one I won't forget.  The spirit was very strong and you could tell that it was present in the room.  I looked around the chapel with my family and Cason's family surrounding us, and my eyes welled up with tears.  They were all there for us...for Ivy.  It meant so much to me.  And I know it meant so much to Cason.  And will mean so much to Ivy when she looks back on this special day. 

Ivy wore the same dress Millie wore for her blessing.  Thanks to my sister for letting me borrow it again.  

And the best family picture we could get.

Thanks to all those who could be there.  And to my dear mom for putting together the luncheon afterwards.  It was such a special day.
