Welcome, Brooks!

Wednesday, July 6

Brooks Palmer made his appearance. 

Welcome to the world, Brooksey!

I just couldn't stay away, so Bill and I went to meet Brooks and congratulate his parents. This turned out to be a tender mercy because Lynnea had not been feeling great, then Tay started to feel sick the next day, so we had to keep our distance for a little while after.

Heaven is here.

There is literally nothing better than holding a newborn baby in your arms.

Such a beautiful baby boy. 

Good work, Shi and Kody.

I love you, Brooks! ♥ So glad you're here.

Shilo's Sunday dinner birthday.

 Sunday, June 12

I try to celebrate birthdays with a cake at one of our twice-monthly family dinner Sundays.

This day we celebrated Shi Shi's 26th.

It's the least a momma can do.

Love my fam.♥

Shi Shi's Baby Sprinkle fiesta.

Lex made the cute invite

Saturday, June 11

The girls and I threw a Baby Sprinkle to help Shi prepare for her new little guy.

We had delicious homemade margaritas and daquiris - yum!

(I didn't get a single pic of the strawberry daquiris... but we had them)

Little Billy and Grandpa G were our drink makers.

They rocked it!

We also had a nacho bar... and churros.

Take me back haha.

It was so fun to get together and celebrate Shi's bebé.

Can't wait to meet him!

V is famous.

I am missing my boy Ellis.

That means I need to focus on catching that busy little guy in action. In the meantime, at least I have this pic (from January 9th) of him.

These little people are my favorites. I love them each so much and am so grateful to have them in my family. Feeling blessed.
