March Has Been A Month of Excitement!

It is the beginning of March and already a lot has happened. On March 3rd our baby girl Melanie was blessed. It was a great experience and there wasn't a dry eye (not from me anyways). It was so fun shopping for a little white dress, baby pantie hoes, and cute little white shoes.

Melanie did so good! She didn't cry or make a peep during the blessing. I was one proud mama. After the blessing, we hung around the church and wanted to take pictures with all the family that came to support us and Melanie.

Melanie took pictures with her Great-Grandma and Grandpa Hope. Then she took one with her Great-Grandma Ebert. The one she took with the Hope's is so adorable! Smiles all the way around! 

Then Melanie took some pictures with her Grandparents and Aunts and Uncle. 

(First picture was with her Nana and Tata. Again, smiles all the way around)

(Then she took one with her Grandma and Grandpa)

Aunt Lauren, Uncle Ben, and Aunt Lindsey were next!

Our cousins Jared and Kristy came! They brought their cute little boy with them. He is just too cute! 

Lastly, after all the picture taking with all the family we wanted to take one of just our little family. I am so grateful for my husband Dallan and all that he does for Melanie and me. I am grateful for our baby girl. She brings us so much joy and happiness. I can't imagine our life without her. I love my little family. 

Another great thing happened this past week. My little brother Ben got his mission call. He was called to serve in CHILE! That is so special and exciting because that is where my mom is from. We are so proud of him and my other brother Ricky (who is currently on his mission) for making the decision to serve our Heavenly Father. 

Yesterday, we wanted to go out and spend time as a little family out on the town. Lol! We took Melanie for her first time to Temple Square. She seemed to enjoy it... well,  for as much as a two month old can enjoy something. She more like tolerated it. She didn't cry or anything. 

Like I said, it's only the beginning of March and already a lot has happened! I hope this post turned out ok. This is my first "Official Blog." So enjoy!

Lots more to come.......
