Live In the Moment

And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” (Elder Ballard’s talk May, 2008 quote by Author Anna Quindlen speaking of her children)

- I put this on here to remind me to take time to enjoy the little things in life, or to enjoy the moments that make some of Life's Precious Memories.

Rocket Flier

Rebecca has discovered the Rocket Flier. She discovered it without the sounds. She'd use it to stand up and then she'd just explore it. Daddy showed her how we use it. Then in the morning he put batteries in it and now it is once again the favorite toy in our house.

World's Best Daddy

Here's Daddy reading "Fancy Nancy" and "Pinkalicious" to his girls. Rebecca's idea of storytime is eating the book and the other two girls love "Fancy Nancy" and "Pinkalicious". At one point in "Pinkalicious" the Mommy asks the little girl what color she wants to make the frosting for her cupcakes the girl replies, and so do my girls as the story is being told, "Pink, Pink, PINK!" As you can see, that's got to be the world's best daddy to read that over and over again. :)

Posing in a Red Bucket

Rebecca thought this was such fun for the first few minutes.
Adorable baby girl. I just had to add a little bow to take her picture.
With the sisters.
And then Meredith was done.


Pulling Up to a Stand

I put my little baby down for her nap and came in to find her not so little anymore. She's getting so big so fast. I took this picture, and then lowered the mattress.
I was a little panicky when I went in to find her doing this. Luckily my sister was with me otherwise there is no way I would have gone for the camera.
Miss Rebecca is also getting really good at looking at me when I say her name. It's so adorable that I just want to say her name all the time. I love it.

Busy Girl

Rebecca has discovered the art of crawling. Not just the scoot and lunge movement she was doing to get where she wanted. She's been crawling for about a week and she is everywhere! Yesterday I left her in the middle of the Living Room and panicked when I couldn't find her. She was in the girls room playing with the toys. I wouldn't have guessed, usually she's trying to find me so she'll either head for the kitchen or my bedroom. She will also find in my bedroom this...
(please see picture).
Oh yes, she loves to get in here and take out all of the movies and take down my books. Just when I got the last child to stop it, here's the next one doing her best to create havoc. And I'm so happy about it, because it means she's a perfect, beautiful little baby.

Playing Gator Golf

Meredith wanted to play with the baby so she brought Gator Golf to her. They were so cute "playing" together.

Making Pizza

Making dinner together. Such good little helpers.
The girls love making food with Nathan and me. We love having little helpers.
