You took me to a place I have never been before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But a place that I am so thankful to have experienced.</div>

Here is your story sweet girl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I woke up at 5 am the morning of August 15 to contractions. I got in the shower, timed contractions and got myself mentally prepared to have a baby. I woke up Jared and my mom and we scrambled to get everyone taken care of so we could head to the hospital. Soon everyone was set and it was go time but as soon as we got in the car the contractions stopped. It, honestly, made me giggle because that is exactly what happened with Capri but had I progressed to a 5 when I made it to the hospital with her. This time I was rather shocked and felt a little silly to find that I was only at a 3. The cute nurses let me walk for an hour and encouraged me as they saw me wander the halls but much to my dismay, nothing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I headed home disappointed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next morning I was once again ripped from my sleep at 5 am to even stronger contractions. I got up and busied myself cleaning out a closet and breathing through contractions. Finally once they were 5 minutes apart I woke up Jared. We once again headed to the hospital but as soon as got there, nothing, not one contraction. We debated, once we got to the hospital doors, if we should even go in but ultimately decided to go in and be checked since he was working so far away and we knew it would go quickly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We entered labor and delivery to some VERY unkind faces. I gave them a little overview of what had been happening to which the nurse rolled her eyes and sent me to triage. I was once again checked and I was still at a 3.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was crushed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I felt so dumb.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So exhausted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So confused.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What was going on!?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went home vowing never to return.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As soon as I got back in the car they started again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the remainder of the day I wrote down every contraction so that the nurses could indeed see that I was not making it up. I contracted all day long and they increasingly got more and more uncomfortable. By 5 all I could do was breath. Capri would stand by me and rub my leg. I wanted to wait until at least 7 pm because I knew that was when shift change was but once we reached 6 pm my mom looked at me, laying on the ground in a ball, and asked, "Have you had enough?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I could only nod.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I called Jared to let him know I was leaving and he told me that he was in the driveway and coming in to get me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As we once again walked into Labor and Delivery a nurse saw me and smiled, "I knew you would be back today," she said.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They told me that they were so busy that I would have to go back to the waiting room while they found a spot for me. All I could do was giggle at this roller coaster and pray that they would not send me home again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After about 15 minutes {and multiple strong contractions} a nurse called me back to triage and was super surprised to find that I was dilated to an 8.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I smiled and told her that she was my favorite person to which she responded with a, "I am not going to be your favorite person much longer."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew exactly what she was going to say.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Exactly what I did not want to hear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Exactly what I had been afraid of.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Exactly why I had been in 2 other times already.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I did not even ask.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jared did.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The anastesiologist was in an emergency C-scection.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would not be getting an epidural.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That was the moment that I retreated inside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to focus.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To forget about everything that was happening around me while not allowing myself to focus on what what happening on the inside of me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Breath.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In. Out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My mom stepped in and taught me what to do. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Try to relax. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't clinch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Breath shallow through contractions and breath it all out when it is over. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She rubbed my back which saved me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jared sat by my side.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He was quiet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He protected me from the nasty nurse that I had that told me that I wasn't allowed to think that my pain level was a 10 {despite being dilated to a 10},</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He started to make calls to track down any anastesiologist possible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He was told the same thing, the only one available was in a C-section but was given his number.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I still do not know all the details but somehow Jared worked it out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After several hours of intense labor and reaching a 10 for a good amount of time, the only nice face we saw all night showed up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

He was wonderful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not only did he give me medication but his presence was uplifting and enlightening to us all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Such a tender mercy because our roller coaster was still not over.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I could now smile.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I could breath.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then with 2 swift kicks my water broke and the baby crowned immediately.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nurse said I was not allowed to push because the doctor was on the other side of town and she "could, but would NOT deliver a baby."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We spent the next hour waiting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jared nervous for the baby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mom irritated with the bipolar nurse.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Me doing everything possible to keep the baby in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not an easy or comfortable task. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally doctor showed up at 10:40 pm and was visibly exhausted and also irritated with nurse for not allowing me to push.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With 2 pushes our little Indy was born at 10:50 pm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She was one of the goopiest babies I have ever seen and had the sweetest, softest little cry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As soon as I caught a little glimpse of her I knew her name was Indy {A name that was not even on our list going into the hospital}.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As soon as I held her all I could do was close my eyes and hold her close.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Breath her in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Soak her in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Allow all those feelings, experiences, and emotions to imprint on my heart.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The time came to decide on a name. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew what I thought but since it wasn't even really an option going in I did not really want to say anything. Nobody was speaking up, just looking around as if they knew something I did not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally I said, "okay, I know this is crazy but I think her name is Indy."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone started to laugh and completely agree. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nobody had a reason why other than this little lady just came with her name.</div>

My dear little Indy,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh how I love you. You are my special little surprise. You taught me more before I even held you in my arms than I could have ever imagined. You pushed me to do something I never thought I could do but am so thankful that I did. You are a special little girl with some special things to do. I cannot wait to see where your journey takes you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Never forget your mommy loves you and that you are stronger than you think.</div>

You eat like a bird and tend to fall asleep while doing it. You eat every 3 hours and we get super excited when you are able to finish 3 ounces. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are the best cuddler. Everyone loves to hold you because you are able to just melt into them. It is a joy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You hate, hate, hate your car seat and you are not afraid to let us know you are unhappy with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You have the cutest, longest toes. You can thank your great great grandpa and your uma for that one.</div>

The boys had the hardest time remembering your name at first. Finally they came up with "cowboys and Indy." They haven't forgotten since.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cade loves to hold you in the morning and talk to you. Beckam always asks if he can "pet" you. They adore you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You love your binki {thank heavens} but have a hard time keeping it in your mouth {bummer}.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You just barely made it out of newborn clothes and diapers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You have an outie belly button. The boys are fascinated with it.</div>

First a few confessions:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. I do not like school breaks. I dread them. I find myself counting down the days until they are over before they even start. Call me a bad mom but it gets a little overwhelming trying to entertain 2 very energetic boys with no school distractions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. I love, love, love waking up in Las Vegas in the spring. Windows open, breeze blowing, birds chirping. It is the perfect way to start the day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. If I could wake up and snuggle with my husband and babies in the morning, every morning, I would be one very happy mom. It just brings joy to my heart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this morning I wake up to a little person saying "mom.... mom.... moooooom." I groggily come out from under my blankets expecting to settle yet <i>another</i> spring break disagreement. But to my surprise I see a beaming Beckam holding a plate overflowing with eggs and toast and hear an excited Cade on the other side of the bed doing the same for Jared. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr7ST12F1DVJyqIdQVzP3WsmJCNGFJokCd0Qpb2v3NBLe4kqS2bva0raBqRjIvtLqTL6k1gy1L2AdfUO1XfVL8PTX4_JPju3xXC5D_itz89uGWtjpsfmkv3371tXvB655is7zGHH0o38Y/s1600/blog1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr7ST12F1DVJyqIdQVzP3WsmJCNGFJokCd0Qpb2v3NBLe4kqS2bva0raBqRjIvtLqTL6k1gy1L2AdfUO1XfVL8PTX4_JPju3xXC5D_itz89uGWtjpsfmkv3371tXvB655is7zGHH0o38Y/s1600/blog1.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Those little men woke up, cracked, scrambled and plated 18 {yes 18} eggs for us and made multiple pieces of toast. Cade was proud that he had made all the eggs and Beckam was proud that he had handed Cade all of the eggs. <i>Love it.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I asked them why they decided to make us breakfast Cade replied, "just because of all the nice things you do for us." ::sigh:: melt my heart.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCCT8Si5GdOwlCqmQRdDY6vxROJyo9LtZMAnavQE7RrlRvQk5Y6PmstdEO438wlVy5b_CrrCPGHvsr1_LGtBQuOksxPf1Ospymo1OmpDL7kJoACujqDGV3oblYbC7D-CFWaQPjVxBHPJo/s1600/blog2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCCT8Si5GdOwlCqmQRdDY6vxROJyo9LtZMAnavQE7RrlRvQk5Y6PmstdEO438wlVy5b_CrrCPGHvsr1_LGtBQuOksxPf1Ospymo1OmpDL7kJoACujqDGV3oblYbC7D-CFWaQPjVxBHPJo/s1600/blog2.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After we had <strike>choked down</strike> eaten all of our eggs {while the boys jumped back and forth over the bed and Capri squawked until she had just as many bites as I did.} I headed down to view the damage. Not bad considering a 6-year-old and a 3-year-old had made breakfast but it did take a good amount of time to scrub yolk off of... everything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So back to my confessions. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Those little turkeys proved me wrong. School breaks are not half bad... except for the cleaning up part.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Windows open, breeze blowing and birds chirping is even better when accompanied by kids.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Snuggling with the family is even better when accompanied with eggs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We ate a lot of candy yesterday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like<i> a lot.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But that is totally legal one day a year... right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now we are on sugar detox around here....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
not helpful that we still have doughnuts, cupcakes, sees chocolates, and cookies still hanging around.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe we will start tomorrow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy late Valentines day to you all.</div>

We have been working A. L.O.T. on reading around here. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There may or may not have been some tears shed <i>{by both of us}.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But nonetheless we have worked and worked and worked until that fateful day came. </div>

He read the <i>WHOLE </i>book by himself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then completed, turned in, and brought back a book report marked with a 100% and a Rock Star message from his teacher.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Every bucket, drawer, and bin over turned so that Beck could find just the <i>right</i> legos for this little machine of his.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was his first contraption built all on his own.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Last week I decided that our family was in some desperate need of some good 'ole fashioned f.u.n.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had no idea what to do and not many resources to pull from so I decided that a dance party was in order.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The boys were not to thrilled to hear that we were going to be <i>dancing </i>but once the word party was introduced they were totally on board.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Beckam insisted that we had cupcakes for the party so we spent the afternoon working on some rather unsuccessful cupcakes that needed to be eaten with a spoon... but he was happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cade is now convinced that he is the best dancer in the family {and reminds us of it every day} and Becks is convinced that he is the best DJ ever... and he kinda is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a blast with the music up loud, kids dancing crazy and laughing our guts out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gotta love Monday night dance parties.</div>

<div style="color: #666666; font-family: Puritan; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
-Cade was playing a boxing video game with jared. He knocked a guy out and Jared said, "wow, Cade, you jacked him up!" Cade then says, "Yeah, he's wearing a jacket!"</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: Puritan; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
-We were playing the extra games on the furious five DVD from Kung Fu Panda. One of the things you can do is find out what Chinese year you were born in. Cade was so excited and was convinced he would be a dragon. We clicked on his year and a rooster pops up. I say, "Hey Cade, you are a rooster!" His jaw almost hit almost hit the floor and he said with disgust, "A chicken! I don't want to be a dumb chicken!"</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: Puritan; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
-I asked Cade what his daddy's name was and he said, "Jared." I then asked him what my name was and he said, "Aunt Lacey."</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: Puritan; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
-Cade said, "Hey mom, I have 2 pennies!" I replied, "well that is cool, where did you get them from?" He said, "the Holy Ghost." I surprisingly said, "Oh really, that is cool." He said, "yep, He dropped them down to me."</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: Puritan; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
-Cade was playing Madden College Football on PS3 with Jared. The announcer was talking about the Buckeyes. Cade then says, "The butt guys? Their name is the butt guys!?"</div>

We have had busy days, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
busy weeks,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and busy hands.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some of our hands are more predictable than others.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cade has been working hard in school. He is in the AR reading program which is a love/hate thing. Not sure who hates it more.... him or <i>me. </i>I have decided that teaching your child to read is right up there with potty training... no bueno.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is doing very well despite the frustration and the "<i>you are the meanest mom evers</i>..." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think that deep down he actually likes it {especially math} it is just hard to slow down a busy 6-year-old sometimes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Meanwhile in the other room.... some more predictable hands.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know that if there is any type of candy in the house Beckam WILL find it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No matter where it is. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No matter how high. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No matter how well hidden. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He will find it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is full of mischief but also so much love. He is my love bug that will stop whatever he is doing to give me a hug and a "I love you mom." 10 minutes later there just might be a melt down and a "I hate this!" but I take the loves that I can.</div>

Beckam had his good friend Trent over to play the other day. Trent had just gotten a guitar for his birthday and Beckam was beyond excited to pull his out and jam. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These two were totally cracking me up. They were full on rock stars whether the camera was around or not, jamming on their guitars and singing at the top of their lungs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love it.</div>

Do you really need to ask?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is Beckam.... middle name mischief.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He found markers at Jason and Melissa's house and just <i>couldn't</i> resist. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I <i>couldn't</i> resist having to turn around to hide my laughter when looking at him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These pictures were actually the next morning after breakfast so it had worn quite a bit. {yes, I did let him sleep, eat, and play with it all over his face. Bad mom? Maybe. But it made me laugh.}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apparently he did not notice it was there until he saw his reflection in the bathtub faucet. It was great.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seriously love this little boy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I often shake my head and wonder what on earth happens in that little brain of his but he sure keeps things <strike>interesting</strike> fun around here.</div>

It happened. About 1 month ago {ahem, yep slacker} my baby turned 1. Cannot believe it, then again it feels like it has always been. I have been smitten with this little lady since the moment I <a href="http://www.laceynielson.blogspot.com/2010/11/her-big-debut.html">met her</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been such a joy to watch her learn and grow. It is truly fascinating how a little girl can be so vastly different from her brothers but also fit so perfectly. She is full of love, smiles and so much joy. She has filled a void in me that I did not even know existed until she was born and I felt so much more whole. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She does have a bit of shyness in her that is typically only manifest in large, unfamiliar groups {unfortunately, just like her mama.} She loves to observe and cautiously join, until she is comfortable. However, her eyes always sparkle with so much happiness. It makes my heart happy to see her.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"> -you also turned 6 months old... a month ago. I was intentionally waiting to post the 6 month pictures until we had you weighed at the doctors. However, the appointment was pushed back several weeks because of a trip to the ER we had to make with you. One night you spiked a fever and couldn't stop throwing up. You quickly became very lethargic and glassy eyed so we rushed you to the ER in the middle of the night. After many hours, test, prods, and pokes the finally discovered that you had a UTI, you were one sad little baby. </div><div style="text-align: center;">We did eventually make it to the pediatrician for your 6 month check.</div><div style="text-align: center;">At 6.5 months-</div><div style="text-align: center;">Weight- 16lbs 4oz</div><div style="text-align: center;">Height- 26.5 inches</div><div style="text-align: center;">Head- 43.5 cm</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You are such a joy and we are all so thankful for the sweet and calming spirit you bring to our family.

We waited until my cute brother, Ryan, came home from his mission so he could be there with us. We were also then able to enjoy his amazing homecoming talk the next morning.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We went to Utah and were actually able to bless her in my sister-in-law, Marisa's, house on Saturday February 26, 2011. It was so wonderful to be in Wright's home with family and friends and to watch all the men who love Capri dearly take part in giving her a name and a blessing. </div><div style="text-align: center;">It was beautiful.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Little Miss was an absolute angel. </div><div style="text-align: center;">The blessing was followed by a delicious dinner and lots of chatting and laughing. It is such a blessing to have this sweet little baby girl in our lives, to have the gospel and the priesthood and to have family that loves us all and each other so much.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Such blessings from Heaven. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">It was so much fun to pick out her blessing dress and all the little "details" to go along with it. I found her beautiful ivory dress in a little antique shop in Ohio and then her Uma and Papa bought it for her. It was a joy to plan the blessing and even more wonderful to be there. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Thank you to all of our family and friends that made the trek to Utah to share in this wonderful occasion with us. </div>Laceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06398842598830091521noreply@blogger.com6
