sunbeams, strollers and our real baby doll

our sweet olivia was all smiles tonight.(as usual.) she is the sweetest baby! everyone just loves that fat girl. she's the current family favorite (other than mj). she's also making all the sister in laws baby hungry. shauna thought she was done with 5 kids, but you should see the look on her face when she holds olivia. and she tries to pressure her hubby clayton-"just look how sweet she is, doesn't she smell good? look at her little hands. she's smiling at you. here, just hold her." and to make it worse, olivia never cries or fusses. our little doll.

the grand opening of mady's store

mady loves playing store. she had lots of fun with her new customers,

aunt jenny and grandma christine.

our new stroller- so cute! never knew i'd get so much joy from buying baby gear- here's a pic of the girls after our walk-

today the girls and i did 3 miles in my new double jogger. it pushes like a dream, i am so glad i got the nice one! my friend meghan got one too and we were a total roadblock, and a stroller commercial. everyone we knew that drove by were laughing at us. we are a wide load for sure! the girls were really happy, and we had fun. mady had a hat and coat and blanket, and livi was covered too, so yaya don't freak out.

mady is officially a sunbeam. she had so much fun in primary. my friend cambria is the music leader and she came up with the cutest idea to keep the new sunbeams sitting in their seats. she gave each of them an egg with their name on it. their job is to sit on the egg to keep it warm, just like a bird does. it worked really well! none of the sunbeams wanted to let their eggs get cold. mady sang happy birthday to her dad, who is the Valiant Boys A class teacher. after they sang happy birthday, she ran to him and hugged him and said "happy birthday daddy!" grandma christine is her teacher and mady called her grandma, of course, but when the other sunbeams started to call her grandma, mady stood up, hands on hips, and said "you can't call her grandma, she's MY grandma!" next week christine will be gone and i am looking forward to substituting!
