Matching Sisters

Auntie Robin sent Emmalyne and Laurana

some matching outfits a couple months ago.

Thought I'd finally post some of the cute pics

I took of them in one of the outfits.

I really wish this one had a nice background instead of all the mess...

Maybe I will attempt to clean up the background in photoshop.

Aside from the background it looks like a professional pose.

Closest thing to professional pics I'll get for awhile...

Major Cuteness

My latest favorite picture of Ashellia.

Don't you just love the curls?

Splash Park - part 3

These are a couple more pictures of Laurana

at the splash park that I just love.

I love how this pic turned out.

She is just so cute.

The blue matches her big beautiful eyes.

Splash Park - part 2 - The Slide

The slide was a huge hit with Emmalyne.

Laurana warmed up to it after awhile.

Laurana even crawled up the little stairs to get to the top.

I think it was her first time climbing stairs too!

Short wide steps but steps none the less.

Splash Park - part 1

My friend Steph invited us to go to the Tempe splash park

with her and her son Cooper. The daddy's came too.

(Ashellia stayed home with Grammy Joyce).

I now wish we'd known about this place

more than a week before we were moving away...

Emmalyne liked the little whales that we first started exploring.

Not completely sure how they worked at first though.

We got her on it and she had a little more fun with it.

Cooper is already a little pro at the whales.

Laurana wasn't so sure at first

about this new very busy place.

Being a little tired didn't help.

Namesake

Ashellia's middle names are the first names of both of her grandmas.

I thought it only right to post pictures of her with her proud namesakes.

Moving

We are moving back to Utah. Most people who know about this know that we were planning on moving at the end of the month but it has now been moved up to the 15th. We will be staying for a short time with my mother-in-law, (thankfully she has room for all of us), in Cedar City. We hope that in a short time we will be able to move up north to the Provo area again. Not quite so isolated (MiL lives 10 miles out of town) and more job opportunities.

We do love our friends here in Tempe and will miss everyone dearly. I will particularly miss several special women who touched my heart and made me feel loved. I hope that you know who you are, if not I have failed miserably as a friend to you in return. At least the world is a little smaller with blogging. lol. I will be without regular access to the internet for awhile but I intend to keep writing posts on my computer and post at the library when I can... hopefully that works out... So keep checking while it may be awhile between posts you may get a bunch to read at once, lol.

P.S. I hope to post a few more b4 we leave, so this hopefully won't be the last for awhile.

Sisters

I haven't gotten many pictures of the older girls

with Ashellia yet but here are a few.

Still need a picture of all three of them together...

All 5 of us for that matter.

I still can't believe there is already 5 of us!

Emmalyne was the first to want to hold Ashe.

Ok I admit it, letting Laurana hold her isn't so easy

so these are the pics of these 2 so far. 

Preemie Fashion Show

Ashellia has received numerous adorable outfits and

sundresses from people and I just had to showcase a few of them.

Thank you to those of you who picked

 these beautiful little outfits for her.
