Okay, here we all are.

Can you believe that the photographer got her actually smiling?!?! She is SO cute! I've had a few requests for pictures of all of us-so here's one. And here's the one that we took with my sister (Teresa), her husband(David), and her kids (Tristan and Lyla-sans my step-niece, Cede, who was already back home when we came out to UT.:() These kids are the cutest in the world!
Oh, and here's Misha and my niece, Lyla. I just LOVE Lyla's full faced grins...look at it-it's SO adorable! I just melt when I see her do this-and give Misha a break in this photo-she was only 10 weeks old.:)

Anyhow-happy viewing.

Bumbo what?

Well, we saw one of these seats when we were registering for baby showers when I was pregnant with Misha. It was the coolest thing ever! So, we got one for her this last week since she can finally hold her head up on her own. I think they're so cute being so little and able to sit up on their own and what not. Anyway-so this is our Misha and her new aqua Bumbo seat. May she get many wonderful sits out of it...and so may her future brothers and sisters.

My many thanks

Thank you all for you input on the last blog. That's the best response I've had yet on a blog! I like when you all say stuff. Say some more stuff! Alright, so, I've determined that the following picture means some bad things for the future....
I'm thinking I should get used to this look...and learn to combat the evil from which it springs. Any ideas on how to stay tough when they're so cute with this look?


Also-I just love the way Misha looks when she's being carried down the hall by Jerry. Her little head poking up over his shoulder always brings a smile to my face. Isn't it cute?

I hope you all are doing well-and thanks to those of you who gave me a shout out on the 15th-my thanks for your best wishes.

What do you think?

Okay, so it's time to take a vote! Here's my baby picture on the left (please excuse the pink bow;)) and Misha on the right. While mine is from when I was only a few hours old and Misha's is from about a week after birth, what do you all notice about them? While we FINALLY found a picture of Jerry when he was a baby, sorry mom Brown, but she looks nothing like her daddy. But, that's my opinion. What does everyone think?

What fun, what fun!

So, we've been out of town for the last two weeks. Jer's brother Jimmy got married to a totally awesome chick that we love, named Amy. We think she rocks and that Jimmy made a really good choice. Everyone in both our families was really excited to meet our beautiful Misha. Seeing as how we were there for the wedding, we spent a lot of time with Jer's family.

A few siblings and their families are missing from this photo-but here's a few of them...see how happy they are to have Misha with them? :) In fact, one of Jer's sisters, LeeAnn, said when she told Misha that they were going to send Jer and I home and keep her, she smiled. Nice try LeeAnn. ;) We managed to get out to Utah by way of Denver, CO. A family in our ward moved to Bountiful, UT, and needed a vehicle driven for them, so we took them up! Because of their generosity, we were able to stop in Denver and see my grandparents who normally wouldn't have met her because my grandmother is in a nursing home.

It was wonderful seeing them...I haven't seen them in about 3 years. And just so the record is straight-I trounced Grandpa in the first game of cribbage and it took him two games to make it up. :) While we were in Salt Lake, we stayed with my other Grandparents. Grandma simply loved Misha and she laid the guilt trip about how her great granddaughter is growing up without her around.
Anyway-we had a great time. I got to see my niece and nephew (MY sister's kids) as well-they're so cute!!! Sadly I don't really have any pictures of them though.:( I will soon though and I'll post it then. But I just love them. My niece Lyla has the most adorable smile I've ever seen...and she smiles so easily. Anyway-It was a blast and it really pulled on our heart strings this go around. We miss all our friends...we only had about a day and a half of seeing friends from my college days and our days at Sundance. You know who you all are, and you're terribly missed. Hope everyone had a great few weeks!
