ONE Never Tasted so Good

Sweet Josie turned one. She really ate up the birthday celebration.

I like when babies turn one. It is absolutely no pressure. Isaac turning five was a lot more work.

Had I known that buying one wax candle would have provided the magic we were hoping to create, then I could have saved the trouble of the cake and presents.

Josie did “blow” out a candle, but I had a cupcake with a candle for each family member and we all blew out our candle and made a wish for Josie. As the mom of all three kids I’m dying to know what they wished for, but then again, maybe I don’t want to know!

Are you noticing a theme here?

How about now?

Jo is working on a few teeth.

Josie in her Easter dress. I think she felt pretty.

I told Josie that Josh was leaving for Bishopric meeting, so she started waving “bye-bye”.

I would have taken a picture of the boys in their snazzy, new Easter suits, only they didn’t get any. I totally wait for that stuff to clearance AFTER Easter. Look for some sharp lookin’ brothers in a couple of weeks.

One year with Josie:

She walks. She tries to talk. She says a few words. She adores her brothers, and I think her favorite time of day is quickly becoming when daddy gets home from work. She absolutely lights up and so does he. After having two boys I wanted so badly to have a little girl. Wish granted. She is everything I could have hoped for. She is my buddy. Where I am, she is, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Still to be determined is how much she is going to like being a big sister. I have a pretty good idea that it will be a total disaster at first, but who doesn’t love a challenge!

With each baby I recognize more and more that these little creatures truly are heaven sent. Thank You for my blessings.
