Sneak Peak...

We are blessing Summer this week and did a little photo shoot yesterday of her in her blessing dress. My mom is quite the photographer and the pictures turned out great! More pictures to come soon but here is a sneak peak of our beautiful baby girl all dressed in white!

Here we go AGAIN...

I am afraid to ever get pregnant again. No, no, no...I am not even thinking about having more right now BUT yesterday I got a phone call. It was my trickster of a brother revealing the sex of their baby to be born in January. He told me that it was HERB (after my Grandpa) and I was thrilled that it was a BOY. He has 2 girls so a boy would be just perfect. He followed up by informing me that HERB would have a sister named HAZEL (my Grandpa's twin). I finally caught on and realized that they are expecting TWINS. Why might that make me nervous...that is TWO of my SIBLINGS who have TWINS! I am still in shock for them. They are fantastic parents and make beautiful babies so this will be so much fun! ONE BOY AND ONE GIRL...could it be any more perfect?

4th of July Princesses!

My talented sister-in-law made all these tutu's for the girl for the 4th of July! The loved dancing and spinning in them and I think they look mighty cute. The Hill girl cousins on the deck of the cabin we stayed at in Bear Lake.
Proud Kylee with Summer...I love this picture!
She even made one for Summer. It was so tiny but I think she looks just perfect in it!

Crazy few weeks...

Fourth of July and Hill family reunion...it has been a crazy couple of weeks! More pictures to come but for now, look at how HUGE the Hill family is getting!

2:00 a.m. bonding session...

Summer just woke up for her 2:00 feeding. It is now 2:39 and we are still awake. I am exhausted...my eyes are swollen from lack of sleep...I just want to feel rested before our big weekend ahead. BUT, there is something about the big blue eyes that are starring up at me that make me happy to have this 2:00 a.m. bonding session. I get so busy with all the regular chores during the day that sometimes I forget to stop and look at my beautiful baby girl. She is such a gift and I am grateful for moments like these where I can reflect on how wonderful it is to be a mother - even if it is and 2 o'clock in the morning!
