Showered with Love

A big "THANK YOU" goes out to my cousins, Shauna and Rachelle, and their mother LaDonna, for hosting Rochenda's "FAMILY Baby Shower". Their theme was sports; decorations were adorable and the food was scrumpcious!! We had such a good time celebrating the life of Baby Keaton and catching up with all our relatives.

Time to clean up, Mommy?

Okay, the works all done, time to go home......

A visit from Lewiston!!

After a wonderful weekend with family up at our condo, my sister Valerie and her two children drove back down with us to stay at my parents and I's home. They were able to stay for about a week. I got to spend a lot of time with Brooklyn, which was extra special for me!!!
During that time, Brooklyn and I played school (Brooklyn was the teacher, of course); we had movie nights with popcorn; "manicures"; and, shopping trips to the pet store. But probably one of my favorite memories with Brooklyn was the night that she and I had a slumber party in her bed (on the floor). It was probably the best night's rest I had in a long time; the reason I say that is, there is nothing like saying your bedtime prayers with a child or having them hold your hand all night long or them tapping your shoulder to see if you are still awake...the trust that they have in you-irreplaceable!!!!
Here are some pictures of everyone and of our times spent together throughout the week...hope you enjoy!! I KNOW I DID!!!
