Clara's blessing

Posted by Alyssa


This past Sunday we blessed Clara at our house in the evening. It ended up being a perfectly relaxing and enjoyable event! There were only the adults there and it was fun visiting with everyone while eating some valentine treats I made! I've decided doing blessings at home are so much more enjoyable. Its more intimate and special in my opinion!


I actually bought Clara's dress before Connor was even born! I found it on clearance at Dillards for only $6! I love that its just a simple cotton fabric with eyelet details on it. Her flower was the first one I ever made by burning the silk layers to give it the curling effect. So many fun things to do with girls!



David had Jake and Connor laughing like crazy by throwing them in the air!




We are a happy Family!

Firing it up!

Posted by Alyssa

This was our FHE activity a couple weeks ago. That's the nice thing about having no landscaping in our backyard yet and living on the edge of the desert-we can build a fire in our own backyard! We cooked hot dogs and roasted marshmallows on sticks. The boys were in heaven and I loved having that campfire smoky tasting food without having to pack everything and head out to the desert!

Clara Rose Lines

Posted by Alyssa

Sorry so late on this post! Here's our little Clara who was born on January 1st! She weighed 8 lbs 7 oz and was 20 3/4 inches long. She's now 5 weeks old and a chunk! I'm amazed at how quickly they grow! She's the sweetest little girl and smiles all the time! It's been pure joy watching Mike fall in love with his little girl and Connor and Jake can't get enough of her!

My aunt Stacy gave me this dress as a baby gift: it's my grandma Peters' baby dress! What a special gift that will be treasured!



She always has this expression on her face!

Our first picture as a family. I can't believe we're now a family of 5! Where does time go?!?


Jake is always so soft and always whispers to her. We're still working on Connor to do the same most days.... We're so blessed to have her in our family!
