Batter Up!

We were invited to a UVU baseball game with some of our friends. The boyz had a blast! I don't think they watched much of the game...they liked rolling down the grass hill the best. It was such a fun night sitting on the grass, eating popcorn, and watching baseball. We are ready now for summer! Thanks RaKelly and Josh for the invite!

Easter Sunday

Happy Easter! Look how sharp my boyz look. Look how beautiful my little girl looks in her Easter dress. We decided to try and make it to church for Easter Sunday. Well we did it.....all by myself with my three kids! It was Aftyn's first time at church. Ok she is two months old today. Everything went great and everyone loved to see our little new addition...of course no one got to hold her. I kept her very close to me. And the best part about today was when we got home from church daddy was home from his week long work trip....Yeah!

Playing in the Poelmans' Pool

While daddy was out of town we decided to go play with some of our friends at the Poelman's indoor Pool. We haven't been out much this winter so it was nice to take Aftyn somewhere warm. We were celebrating Parker Chandler's 8th birthday. The boys had so much fun swimming and going down the slide. We will have to do it again when daddy comes back.

Our Little Princess

We finally got our little girl! Aftyn Adell was born on January 23, 2008 at 11:22 pm in the Utah Valley Hospital. She weighed 7lb 10 oz and was 19.5 in. She has been such a little angel.From the day she was born she has brought the sweetest spirit into our home. We just love her! I had these pictures taken of her when she was only 2weeks old....and look at her cute little smile! She is truly our "little princess".

Aftyn's First Photo Shoot

We had so much fun getting these pictures done. Aftyn was only two weeks old. I just had to post them all....I have the cutest kids!

My Baby Girl's Nursery

My baby girl's nursery has been a dream I have imagined for a long time now. I wanted a room that was timeless and a place of peace. My fondest memories as a little girl was this Fairy Book my Grandma Thomas used to read to me. I wanted this room to be designed around this book. I took the book and copied the pages to frame on the walls. The theme of this room then became "Fairy tales do come true..."! My sister and I took all my old baby furniture and painted it white....twice. I then started to add old antiques and most of them were my mom's things. Her baby book, doll cribs, books, clothes, ect. This room just started to come together. I had already picked out Aftyn's name and decided to have her middle name after my grandmother...Ruth Adell Thomas. This was the final touch I needed. It was then complete. Aftyn Adell Brown was born. I posted this on what would have been my grandma's 89th birhtday January 28, 2008....5 days after Aftyn's Birthday.

Baby Aftyn is here!

We finally got our little girl! She is so beautiful! We are so excited to start our new life with her. The boys are so excited and already have a nick name of "Affy Taffy" for her. So fun!!!

A Shower for Aftyn

My cute best friends gave me the nicest baby shower for my little girl! I got the neatest "pink" clothes and bows. What more do you need for a little girl....just for her to get here!
