Another Courtney Low favorite

Alright peeps, does anybody else HATE plastic wrap??  Maybe it is just me but I don't even think it sticks to anything but its self.  Unfortunately, it is basically the only thing you can use to cover things you are putting in the fridge.  Well one day my best friend Whitney introduced me to Glad Press'n Seal plastic wrap...and that day may go down in history as one of the best in my life.  It sticks to everything!  It makes me so excited that I find myself looking for ways to use it.  It is pretty affordable too and I think wal mart has a generic brand of this same product as well, but I could be mistaken.  Go buy this now and thank me later!  It has become a must have in our house!

Berkeley's Blessing Day

Andrew's brother Bob and his wife Erika had their second baby about 3 weeks before we had Berkeley.  We decided it would be really fun to organize something and have their baby blessings done together.  Today we had a small ceremony with just family and a few very close friends.  It was so sweet and wonderful.  Both of the babies did awesome and looked so adorable!  It was just one of those experiences where I was simply overwhelmed by how many wonderful people we have in our lives who love us and who love our kiddos.

please excuse my scary squinting face.  It was very very bright out

I can't lie, we have some pretty awesome friends.

Proud Dads

The main attractions...so cute!

Love this little girl

I just love how sweet and innocent she looks :)

It was such a great day.  By the time we got home both of the kids DESPERATELY  needed naps but I really want to take some good ones of both of them so hopefully I will have some more to post later!

All smiles

I just love staring at this little face every day!

Sisterly Love

Joie has found a new favorite toy to play with.  I was so nervous that when I brought home the baby she would be insanely jealous but she hasn't been at all.  She is the sweetest big sister and she always wants to hug and kiss the baby.  Berkeley hates having her diaper changed and every time I change her Joie stands next to her and holds her hand and says "It's ok baby Berkeley" and kisses her until I'm done and the baby stops crying.  It's pretty adorable how much she loves her sister.

First Vegas trip of 2011

Well I worked up a little courage and decided to fly alone to Las Vegas with both children.  They were both ANGELS and we had so much fun.  It wasn't super warm while we were there but it was still way warmer then Utah so we were pretty pleased!

If any of you are ever in Vegas with your kids and you want something fun to do go to the Secret Garden at the Mirage.  They have Lions and Tigers that were so awake and got so close to you from the exhibit and they had the coolest Dolphin exhibit.  There were hardly any crowds and we got so ridiculously close to all the animals.  I have never been to any zoo or aquarium where you could get so close to the animals and the animals were so active!  It was incredible and needless to say Joie thought it was amazing.  As you can tell from the picture it was basically the brightest day in history.

While we were gone this little girl also turned one month old!

as you can see she is starting to get super chunky!  She has started smiling a lot and I will post some pictures of that soon!

She also got to meet her Great Grandma for the first time.  Isn't my Grandma a total babe?  She looks WAY too  young to have great grandchildren but she has 3 now!

We had so much fun but we are very very happy to be home with Daddy again!

True Love

In honor of Valentines day I just want all of us to remember the One who taught us HOW to love. On this day where we celebrate love, let us spend sometime thinking about Jesus Christ and how he is the One who taught us how to love one another. A friend of mine shared this video on her Facebook today and I thought it was the perfect message to share with everyone on valentines day! Love you guys!

One fortnight

This little girl is 2 weeks old today!

This little girl is pretty much the cutest big sister in the world

I took out one of her big totes full of toys for her to play with the other day and she found the hat, the purse, and the shoes and that was all she wanted to play with.  She is 100% girl.

Life has pretty much gone back to normal since the baby came.  Which means Andrew is gone at school and work for most of the day everyday and my girls and I just get to play.  I was so nervous that life was going to be so stressful and overwhelming and hard with two kids that I wouldn't even enjoy it but it has been AWESOME.  We definitely keep very busy but we are seriously having a blast!!

Don't mind that I'm in my robe...I just LOVE this little girl so much!
