Blessing day

What a wonderful day it has been! Dad and Brett came out and got to see her for the first time-they loved it:) We had a Draschil family breakfast in the morning and lunch with my fam. I love having family so close it helps so much because there are just somethings that you can ONLY ask family to do-and they do it because they are family and love you no matter what.
Bree is amazing and has such a bright future with lots of peace and happiness. We love love love being parents and I love being a stay-at-home mom!
Special thanks to our dear friend Annabelle for being the photographer!

Sunday

For those of you local we are blessing Bree on Sunday 11am 200N 500E in Provo. All are welcome. We ARE NOT doing a dinner or anything after so don't get offended if you don't get invited :)

Happy One Month Birthday Bree!

This is for you Katelyn........

Help!

Uuuuummmm I am pretty sure Bree is going bald! Her cute brown hair is falling out! Help you moms out there is this normal????? Or am I doomed to have wrinkley bald grandma for a child?

(Note: She still has all her hair in the picture above resting with daddy.)

Melinda's first ever attempt at Lemon Meringue

AAAA the days BEFORE being a mom......

So when I went over due I was totally bummed out. So I went crazy on making myself busy so I wouldn't really go crazy.
As everyone knows I totally love sushi! I was talking with some of my other sushi loving friends and I really started to crave it. I started looking through my sushi cookbook, to make some, and realized you can make dessert sushi!!! What more could a girl want??? So off to the store I went with junk food on my mind.....$40 later (don't tell Joseph) I had all my "necessary" ingredients-twinkies (which by-the-way I had never tasted in all my 25 years of life! GROSS!!! I hated them) pop rocks, sweetish fish, rice crispy treats, red vines, mini m&m's, and fruit roll ups. It took no time to put them together and I thought they turned out so cute! Then of course I had to take some to my sushi loving friends:) That night I went into labor-Moral of the story.....Twinkies are bad for your health. Bad enough that my baby would rather be cold and screaming in the outside world than hanging out in the womb with Twikie-juice running through her veins!
