Happy St. Patrick's Day.....and a VERY happy ANNIVERSARY!!

I'm not sure when this picture is from..... before the time of digital cameras obviously, but I love it, and I wanted to wish my Granma and Granpa Shawcroft a Happy 60th Wedding Anniversary!! What good examples they are to us, and what fun times and memories I've had growing up just a mile from where they live. AND..... I've started working a couple days a week at the vet clinic in St. George, with 2 of the Dr's and one of the techs that I used to work with at Dixie Vet. So a few weeks ago Dr. King did an ultrasound on me..... and it looked pretty positively like we were having another GIRL!!... we had our other ultrasound today.... and yep.... she's still lookin pretty girly!! We are SOOOO excited!!!! Our due dates have ranged from August 4- August 17.... so your guess is as good as mine! I'm feelin good tho!! Thank GOODNESS!!

Gone Swimmin..... BRRRRRR!!!

So, clear back at Christmas I got a rocker/recliner chair that we put in front of our wood stove. We bought it used and the night we got it Robert couldn't find his phone and he thought that maybe when he was carrying the chair in it had maybe gotten lost in the chair cushions, so he felt around in it and found a bouncy ball, a spoon ..... and ......a NEW camera!!.... worth $300 I know... you're thinkin we should have called the guy we bought it from... and we probably would have BUT.... the chair had just been in a vacation rental.... so it could have been someone's from Timbuktu!...... anyway this camera takes pictures under water.... AND... we went swimming Saturday night and got to test out that feature! It was Brecklyns first time going swimming, she wasnt sure about it at first but after a little she had a lotta fun! The pool was SOOOO cold so after a while i was a party pooper mom and got her out.... she was shakin and her lips were a bit blue. So we just watched everyone else and took a few more pics. Here is a peak at the photo shoot............

Thanks Grammy and Gramps for the CUTE clothes!!

Thanks Granma Nelda and Fam! She wasn't sure of the crying babydoll at first, but after her cousins thought it was pretty cool, she carries her and her bottle everywere and tries to take good care of her! She's one CUTE little mama and maybe this will help her adjust to being a big sister.

her new bike from mom and dad..... that says for 18 month olds and older, but it might even be longer than that till she can pedal it... she still likes it anyway!

The look she had on her face the whole time we sang to her... she thought it was PRETTY cool!!

At first she would just stick her finger in the frosting and lick it over and over......

Then we gave her her own piece and......
..... I tried posting a video here, but for some reason it won't load.... darn!

It was a fun day, and we are so SO SO thankful we have this little girl in our family, she has made our lives such a joy and she makes us laugh everyday. This last year has FLOWN by with her, and we look forward to the many years to come with our little family! We are SO blessed!!
