Lyndee's Blessing

Lyndee in her Beautiful dress made by our adopted Grandma Joann, she also had made Sophie's dress, she's amazing!

Sweet Happy Lyndee, I just took the pics today of her in her dress, I didn't have time the day of her blessing, but I wanted to get them before it didn't fit anymore.

Lyndee Fae Mickelson

I took this one of Lyndee today, she's not so red now that her count is down, she's such a sweet/good baby. Lyndee sleeps a lot and eats good too, the only time she cries is when she's hungry. I'm glad she's so calm, I need the time to spend with Sophie.

Look at all this hair! My other 2 girls were blonde and bald, so it's wierd seeing a baby of mine with lots (compared to the other girls) of dark hair.

Wide Eyed and loving the wash.

She LOVES to be under the water, I think we have a Spa Baby! She loves to have her hair washed and scrubbed.

Lyndee's 1st spongebath at home

Lyndee had a high bilirubin count so she had to be on a bili-light constantly unless I was feeding or changing her, it was really hard at first to not hold her, but I realized I could get a lot done when I didn't have the option of holding her all the time. She's still on it, but only for 10-12 hours a day for 2 more days, I don't know how people do it for months at a time, I feel for them.

Lyndee in her cute carseat cover that my Mom and Granny got me, I'm glad to have something girly for #3, the other 2 had a jungle carseat, but I wanted something a little more fun for this one.

Sophie loves to hold her little sissy, but doesn't have a very long attention span, so she doesn't hold her for very long.

Saydi is the best big sister, she is constantly asking to hold Lyndee and when she is on the bili-lights Lyndee calms down when Saydi reads her books or sings/talks to her. Already she's an amazing babysitter.

Getting ready to go home from the hospital at 5lb 8 oz.

Minutes after Lyndee Fae was born, Jan. 28, 2010, she was 5lb 13oz and 18 1/2" long, and very RED. Sweet Girl!

The Monday before Lyndee was born, I had Saydi take one last pic of me pregnant, and although I wasn't very big I was super uncomfortable since everything was pushing into my back. I'm glad that's done with, but she was all worth it!

Christmas 2009

The tutus that Grandma Holly & Grandpa Russ Made the girls, They love them!

Sophie loved the antlers at Grandma and Grandpa's, she thought they were so funny!

The girls new Christmas dresses from Granny

Sophie got her ZhuZhu pet stuck in her hair, what a christmas tragedy! We had to cut her hair to get it out. But you can't really tell, we'll have Aunt Heidi fix it.

Christmas morning waiting to go into the living room. I'm sure glad my girls love eachother.
We had a wonderful Christmas, it was low key and relaxed. I had contractions and morning sickness all day, but I got to spend it with my family so it was wonderful.

Here's our tree, the star kept tipping over. Saydi thought we needed a pic of the tree, so she took one.

I decided we should try caramel & chocolate covered pretzel rods this year. It was a lot of fun, I think I might do it for a neighbor gift next year. You can tell which ones Sophie decorated. She liked to dump the whole bottle onto them. They were super yummy.

Saydi got scarlet fever the day of the ward party and was still contagious so we made a gingerbread house since we had to stay home. It was a lot of fun.

It didn't take Sophie long to eat all the marshmellows off of it.

Saydi and Lloyd working on their masterpiece. She totally forgot about the ward party. I'm glad I thought of it, she was really sad.

Saydi's 5th Birthday Party

Saydi had a Hannah Montana Party with Friends, and then later that night we had family over for cake and ice cream. I can't believe my girl is 5!!!!

Lloyd bought Saydi 5 roses this year, I think this is going to be an expensive tradition. Last year he got her 4 roses. She loves getting roses from 'Daddy'

Here are the stars and streamers Lloyd put up. It was a lot harder to cover the cardboard stars with tinfoil than you would think.

Saydi and her friends, Tenleigh, Addison, Nessa and Maycie.

Making Pizzas.

They had fun decorating their own.
