Happy Birthday Daddy

A little girl needs her daddy

To love her with his charm,
To soothe her when she’s hurt,
And keep her safe from harm.A girl needs her dad
To show her a man who’s good,
To help her make the right choices,
As only a father could.A woman needs her father
Just to be aware,
He’ll always be there for her
To sustain her and to care.You’ve been all these things, Dad.
I hope that you can see
How much I treasure you;
You mean everything to me.
Happy Birthday!
I love you

Nelle's first swim

Today we took Nelle swimming for the first time. We bought her a really cute swimming suit and a cool float that keeps her shaded. I dont think she quite understood what was happening. She was half happy and half fussy but overall I think she had fun.

Nelle's first pedicure

Cathy is painting her toes pink in these pictures. She made it quite difficult for us. She just kept kicking and curling her toes but Cathy got them all done.

Temple Square

About 2 months ago Papa and Mimi from Colorado came to visit and we all went to Temple Square. I didnt have these pictures to post then so here they are now.

My precious girl

Big hugs to everyone

I have trying to get a picture of this for so long and my patience has paid off.

Nelle and Daddy

Nelle and Mommy

Just for you dad, here are some pictures of Nelle and me.

Hangin out with Papa and Mimi Eldredge

Last Sunday Jake and I went boating with Drew and left Nelle with Papa and Mimi Eldredge. I think we were gone for a little to long because I was crying by the time we picked her up. It was really only a little more than 4 hours. You can tell by her face that she had fun though and once again here are some great pictures Papa took. For all of them here is another link...

Visit to Colorado

We all spent the last week and a half in Colorado visiting my family. Nelle was really comfortable with everyone after a few days. We were there for the 4th of July and took Nelle to her first firework show. She didn't even seem to notice them at first and then soon after they started she fell asleep.
