Tummy Time

Tora's Tummy Time:

And with all that hard work, a well deserved nap. Sweet dreams princess.

Father's Day & Blessing Day

On Father's Day, June 21st, Adam blessed Tora. Such a sweet day! One very neat thing: All of my girls have been blessed in the same dress. And to make it that much more special, it is the same dress that my dad blessed me in as a baby.

Doesn't she look like an angel?

All of my brother's and their families, my mom and dad, and Grandpa and Grandma P. were able to come and share in Tora's special day too. Thank you all for coming. It meant a lot.

Thanks to all of Adam's family that made it too. Your support is very much appreciated!

Here's Adalyn, Mieley, and Tora. Some serious sisterly love there. :)

When my sis-in-law Mardie blessed her little girl a few months back, we made these cute pink and white bracelets for the girls. Then, my other sis-in-law Jandy got Tora this CUTE bracelet for her blessing day. I thought it was neat that they all matched, so I had them wear the bracelets for the blessing.

And a very special THANK YOU for Adam for being willing to share his day, Father's Day, with Tora. You are an awesome daddy to the girls, and a wonderful hubby to me. I love you!

Giddy Up

I love the moments like these.

Last Saturday, my dad and brother saddled up a couple horses and took all the grandkids that wanted to on horse rides. The kids loved it! Adalyn rode only once, but Mieley rode as much as she could. Thanks Dad and Matt.

All the kids even waited patiently for their own turn. Can't get much better than that!

Smile!

This picture just makes me smile. I love it!

Thanks G-pa & G-ma

Thanks Grandpa & Grandma B. for this outfit. Tora's SUPER cute in it. (Even if I do say so myself!)

Cousin Comparison

In the last month, Tora's been lucky enough to spend time with ALL of her cousins.

Here's Tora (at 2 weeks old) with her cousin Sadie (at 2 months old).

And here's Tora and I with my sister-in-law Danielle and Sadie.

Finally, here's all the Grover Grandkids. All 7 of them ranging from age 4 to 2 weeks. Hey, I just realized that as of now I currenty have the oldest (Adalyn) and the youngest (Tora) grandkids on the Grover side. Just a random thought.




And now for my side of the family pool, here's Tora (1 month) with the most recent additions to our family: Ellie (10 months), Karlee (8 months) and Crew ( 7 months).


The Bradshaw Grandkids: All ranging from 7 years old to 1 month.



Cute cousins everywhere!!!

One Year older and Wiser too

Tuesday was my 27th birthday. 27!?!? I'm getting awfully close to that 30 mark.

That night we took the girls out to the movie, "Up." If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. It's a super cute show.

Thanks EVERYONE for all the well wishes and birthday gifts. I appreciate it!

Circus!

On Monday, Adam took Adalyn and Mieley to the Jordin Brother's Circus here in town. The girls, to put it mildly, had a blast. Tora and I stayed home, but after hearing about all the fun, I'm really sad that I missed it. From what I hear they saw lions, tigers, and bears (oh my), clowns, elephants, aerobatic and motorcycle stunts, and much more. Adalyn even got her face painted and Mieley rode an ELEPHANT!

Too bad Adam forgot the camera! I guess Adam's aunt was there and had her camera, so Adam took a picture of Mieley with that camera -- I'm going to have to hunt that picture down.

Pretty cute pink tiger if you ask me.

Gymnastics, 2 weeks, and a Plug

Yesterday, Adalyn and Mieley had their first day of Gymnastics. I signed them up for a 10 week course this summer. They LOVED it! I don't have any pictures from the Gymnastics center, but I did get these cheesy ones before we left home. Cutie Patooties.

In other news, Tora is 2 weeks old today! Which leads me to this plug: the outfit is from my friend Meg, who bought it from our friend Melanie, at her store "Hip Babies." If you live in Rexburg, or by Rexburg, go check her store out. And thanks to Mardie too for the cute hand-made hair bow. Thanks again everyone!!!

And for kicks, one more picture of Adalyn and Tora.

I love my girls!

Tora Pictures

Here's a picture update of my newest princess:

Hanging out at home.

Mieley with Tora. I left to take a shower and when I came back this is how they were. Mieley was sweetly holding her hand and talking to her. It was one of those "Aawww" moments.

Is there anything cuter than a sleeping baby?

My beautiful three girls.

"Is she still taking pictures?"

"Ha, I'll just leave my eyes closed for the rest of the pictures." Tora smiles all the time. I know she's not really smiling at me yet, but it's soooo cute!

On a side note, I thought I did a pretty good job on Adalyn and Mieley's hair yesterday. I suprise myself sometimes.

Such a kissable face!
