Yummy in my tummy!!!

Well I found this yummy strawberry tallcake recipe. It looked so easy that I just had to try it. So we had Mike's parents over for dinner one Sunday, and thought it would be a great time to try it out. I ended up making the dinner and Mike made the tallcake. And it turned out soooo YUMMY! And I think Mike really enjoyed making it. And we all loved eating it! But we only got pictures of Brody eating, he kept asking for more with this great big smile on his face.

Oh so GOOOOD!

More please!!!

Side note: This does not keep very well, it gets all soggy. So I would make them smaller of make sure there are a lot of people there to eat it...

Yay for SPRING!!! Finally...

The weather has been crazy lately. Snow and rain. We have been wanting to have a BBQ for awhile now. But because of the weather we have not been able to. Finally we had a great day and invited our friend Amy to enjoy it with us. So we had a BBQ! Brody loved helping Mike out. Just look at that joy on his face. And Mike did a great job on the steaks. Mmmm Mmmm GOOD!!! (Side note, that is one of Brody's favorite sayings.)

We are so happy when it is nice spring weather. It just puts a smile on my face!!!

Happy Easter

I was so excited to buy both of the children's Easter outfits. We bought them way early, we had Millie's before she was born and bought Brody's bigger thinking that it would fit by the time it was Easter. Well we were wrong it was to small. We decided for Millie's blessing to put Brody in his nice Easter outfit. He grew way past what we thought he would, no big surprise there. So he was able to use it that once. We had to go and buy him a new one that fit. Man can that boy grow. And Millie's was way to big. So we have the extremes, Brody who is huge and Millie who is tiny. But it all turned out great and they both looked so adorable...

And I did dress them up even though we did not have regular church, because of General Conference. I bought the clothes for Easter and thought they should use them for Easter.

Mikes family got together for an Easter Egg Hunt, because of the Weather we ended up at Heidi's church in the Gym. Brody had a blast picking up eggs especially the plastic ones in the shape of balls. He was so happy to be able to get out and run!!! Camilla was happy just being held.

We then had Dinner with the Webb family which was great also. For most of them it was their first time seeing Camilla. It was fun watching the kids interact with Brody and Camilla. It was just an enjoyable weekend with family.

Camilla's Blessing

We decided to bless Camilla while my parents were here, because we were unsure if they would be able to make it back if we did it at a later date. We had only Mike's family and my family (that could make it) there. Our Bishop opened the Relief Society room for us to do the blessing. It was so spiritual and it is so amazing how special this little girl is already. It was a fast evening, but we are grateful for those who were able to make it and and be a part of this special night. Thanks mom for the beautiful blessing dress!!!

Brody and Camilla

I have had a lot people ask how Brody is with his little sister. He really does love her. He gets so excited when he sees her. He'll start saying "Milla" and run up to her and rub her head. It is really cute. He loves it when she kisses him. He just laughs and screams with joy and wants her to do it again. There is only one time that he really gets frustrated with her. It happens to be when he is watching one of his morning shows and she begins to cry and he can't hear his show. He will look at her and give his death look then find the remote control and hand it to me and look at me like I know what I should do. I really have to just laugh...


Here he is rubbing her head. And she loves it...


He even gave her his beloved dog and wanted him to kiss her too.

Sorry about the pictures, they are from my cell phone. Not the best of pictures.

She is here!!!

Camilla Harrison

(sorry I could not get the picture turned the correct way.)

Born: Feb. 19th 7:56 am

Weight: 6lbs 15oz

Height: 19 1/2in

Camilla is a finally here and we are so grateful. She is an added blessing to our little family. I do have to say she is just simply adorable, especially when she is sleeping. She loves to use her lungs and lets us know when she is unhappy. That is most of the time her eyes are open. For the first few nights she was up ALL night letting us know she wanted to go back, this was great fun. And Mike is buying stock in ear plugs. I forgot how fun it was to be able to stay up all night. I remember those days not so long ago when I was a night owl... Now I really like my sleep. I can say she is doing much better and only wakes up every 4 hours to eat, this I am so happy for. I can't wait 'til she sleeps all night.

We have started calling her our little DIVA!!!!!

Brody loves his little sister. He is most happy when he can burp her. I'm not sure this is because it is the only time I will allow him to hit her. But he will move my hand out of the way so he can burp her. He really loves to rub her head and point to her nose. He tries to copy everything we do. If we bounce her a little in the bouncy seat he will try, but this usually ends up in her looking like she is going fly out of her seat. She is going to be a tough little girl.

Valentines is in the air...

Well really I am not a big Valentines day person. I don't need all the flowers and candy stuff. But I saw these fun Valentine treats and wanted to try and make them. Mike also thought they were fun, so he pitched in and helped put them together. When I saw them, they used an ice cream sundae glass but we didn't want to have to buy them. But we had these glasses that we have not used. So we thought we'd try it out. This is how they turned out. I think they are pretty cute. These are some of the things that I am trying to fill my hours with now that I am graduated and just waiting for our little girl to come.
