Dylan? Say cheese! Did I mention that this lady is a grandmother of 16 grandchildren?
Notice my garden? I have gardened. I am a gardener. Dylan? Still asleep. . . usually he would be screaming in this thing.
There you are Dylan. . . now look at the camera! Way cute smile Stephanie! Yes, all three kids are wearing "cougar shirts."
There's nothing like a grandma who reads to her grandkids.
I feel like I can do my own credit card commercial. Ticket to come visit daughter/son: $200. Buying baby stuff for daughter/son: $100 Having your mother/mother-in-law here to help right after a baby is born: priceless. I felt a little spoiled having them here in consecutive weeks and I wasn't sure that I could do everything without them after they had left, but they have given me a hand in adjusting and feeling confident I will be just fine. PLUS, the food they made was outstanding. Wow! I will have to post some of my favorite recipes from them because they are so dang good. Pies, Scotcheroos, Boston Creme Cake, and Banana Bread. (to name a few) It is funny how I go throughout pregnancy abhorring anything sweet, (much to my family's dismay because making dessert becomes detesting) but once I have my baby, I'm all about the sweets! And how sweet it is to have family come and help out. (Nice connection, huh?) That is the bummer about living here: being too far away from our family.

Congratulations Mo! And I'm glad you're blogging now! Wahoo! Love the pictures. Your little girls are getting so big. What a cute family you have.
ReplyDeleteHi darlin. What a great idea.. I, of course, love your pictures. It loved being with you guys... I am hoping to get my blog up soon. Love you. MOM
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how time flies and kids grow up. Where did baby Haley go!?! Your garden looks fabulous. Good thing you didn't pick up anything I tried to teach you or it would all be dead by now! Family help is so wonderful. I probably got more of it living far away than I would've if I lived close!
ReplyDeleteIt is so heartwarming for me to see pictures of your mom (who looks amazing by the way...she never seems to age). And your kids are adorable. Haley and Maleia look just like little yous to me. I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing to be sandwiched and tied between two generations of such amazing and beautiful ladies--and one adorable little boy.
ReplyDeleteHey Monique! I'm not sure if you'll remember me or not, but I was friends with all the provo boys (mark, joe, joe, tyler, JR, Etc). Anyway...Your family is adorable and I can't believe how quickly you can have a family of five! I'm so behind!!! :) You guys all look great!
ReplyDeleteMonique--what happened? You have three BEAUTIFUL kids and blog posts about not washing pre-washing your dishes. And yet, you look like nothing has changed. How come you are sitting in a hospital bed, with a new baby, and you look perfect? So fun to find your blog and get an update on the Chapmans. You really do look fabulous and good luck with three!
