I've Got a Sweet New Nephew...

...and Asher is his name. He was born last Wednesday to my brother Randy and sister in law Kristin after a marathon labor.

These are the days when I so miss living close to family. Isn't he beautiful? Thanks Katie for the pic, I totally stole it off of your blog. Looking at this picture makes me incredibly baby hungry. Yikes! Watch out Darren! :)

Easter Weekend '08

My parents came for a visit over Easter weekend. We played a lot, ate some good food, colored and hunted eggs and saw some sights. First stop...the annual Easter Pageant and the Mesa Temple. This was a first for all of us.

As the cast was moseyin' around before it started Parker honed in on the Roman guards. The first guy let him hold a sword. He pretty much lost interest in looking up and smiling at the camera at that point.

I have no idea who these extra two kids in the picture are. They wanted their picture taken so bad and who knows where their mom was. The Centurion thought they all belonged to me so he posed with all of them until I took the picture and then he went on to the next kid who wanted a picture so I missed that photo op.

I had to beg Lexi to come with me to get her picture with these girls.

Grandma and Grandpa Wells Lexi in her Easter dress (gloves and purse from Grandma Stewart) Grandpa told her to act like a lady..."How do you do that?" Thanks for coming Mom and Dad! We had so much fun with you that weekend.

Playing Catch Up

Okay so I'm a little behind...again...well you know how it goes. Let's get reacquainted shall we? I must post pictures of Easter weekend for the grandmas so that's up next.

Happy Birthday Baby!

Elijah Cole Stewart (aka Wijah Coe) turns two years old today! I can't believe my baby is already two. April Fools day is a pretty appropriate birthday for this little guy if you know anything about him. He's a tricky one I'd say.

He is celebrating for real this weekend at a family party in New Mexico, but since I won't be there I had to do something. So I whipped up a batch of cupcakes this year for his big day and we opened a gift or two. He got a new swimming suit and another outfit from Darren and I and the kids each gave him a little toy - a squeeze ball from Parker and a truck from Lexi. Melanie (his nursery leader) dropped by with a Crayola Magic set as well - what a sweetheart! We sang, he posed and we called it a party.

Where has the time gone?

I love you sweet baby boy of mine! You keep momma on her toes with your trickiness but nothing melts my heart quiet like when you lay your head on my shoulder and let me soak up some Lijah love. Happy Birthday to you baby love.
