Blessing Dress

I must start off by first saying how amazing my mom is. We decided to have Maysa blessed less than 2 weeks before the actual day of the blessing. So when it came time to find a blessing dress, I told my mom with such short notice I would go buy her a dress. Since my mom had made all the other grand-daughters dresses she insisted on making Maysas as well. I got on the internet to look for some ideas as to what I wanted her dress to look like.... I found a picture of a dress, printed it out and told my mom it was only an idea. This is how it turned out, it is absolutely beautiful (so much cuter than the one I found on-line). Thanks so much mom!Our pretty little princess in her dress!!

Maya's Blessing Day

Maysa was blessed on May 1st.... what a special day it was. She was given a very special and spiritual blessing by her Grandpa Rinderknecht. She looked so beautiful in her blessing dress, and it was so amazing the little glow she had that day. We were lucky enough to have Maysa blessed as well as her two little cousins Hayze Ryan Rowser & Adree Cooper at the new church house in Mt. Sterling. It was so fun to have all of our families together for a triple blessing.

These pictures I took off my sister-in-laws blog that were taken at the brunch at Nibley Elementary after the blessings. (I was a total slacker and didn't take any pictures)

Thanks Robin & Jalyn for letting us share this special day with you!

Preschool Graduation

I can't believe I have a preschool graduate! Wow, where did the school year go? Kenz absolutely loved school and looked forward to going each day. It was so fun to see how excited she would get to show me her papers & projects she would bring home. She learned so much and is looking forward to starting Kindergarten this fall. For the program each student was dressed up as a crayon and had a part to memorize. Kenzlie said her part perfectly. Everyone did an awesome job, sharing what they learned during the year. All thanks to Mrs. Hunter at Tiny Tot Tech!

Mother's Day

"Mother" is such a simple word,
But to me there’s meaning seldom heard.
For everything I am today,
My mother’s love showed me the way.
I’ll love my mother all my days,

For enriching my life in so many ways.
Thanks for being a wonderful mother, Mom!

Growing...

Ever though her bow looks bigger than her, she really is getting so big. May 17th was not a great day for our family - a situation beyond our control made us spend the ENTIRE day in a courthouse in Heber City. This sweet little girl turned the whole day upside down when she gave her mom her first real smile.... it was so cute and she has the cutest little dimple. I'm so glad she waited for the perfect day to share it!!

1 Month

These are some pictures of little Maysa at 1 month! She is such a good, sweet little girl - but growing way too fast.

Cute Little Cousins!

Maysa is so lucky to have 3 cute little cousins all just a few months older than her. Phoebe (Josh & Tif's) born December 22, 2010 - Hayze (Kasey & Jayln's) born January 31, 2011 - Adree (Cort & Robin's) born February 17, 2011. We are so excited for these little ones to grow and play together.

Adree, Phoebe & Maysa on Easter.

EaStEr!

Finally.... an Easter post. First we attended the Easter Egg Hunt in Paradise. Even though it was SO cold the kids had so much fun.

Afterwards we went to G-pa & G-ma Rinderknechts for our own little baby animal days & easter egg hunt. It was seriously amazing they had baby rabbits, a baby cow, a baby chick, chickens, puppies, and baby goat all for the kids to hold and pet. It was awesome & all the kids LOVED it! (sorry no pictures)

Later that afternoon we colored easter eggs at G-pa & G-ma Nielsens.

Jensyn's little masterpiece... a cracked egg!

Easter Morning - Look at our cute little easter bunny!
