Leighton Snow


Our friends Rachael(Peterson)&Davis Snow had their baby girl!
Leighton Snow made her dramatic entrance into the world on Sunday June29th and weighed in at a whopping 2 lbs 7oz! No that wasn't a mistype. She really is only 2lbs 7oz. She was born about two months early. Rachael developed preeclampsia and had to deliver her early. But the beautiful mom and baby are both doing well. They caught it early enough that they were able to give Leighton steroids to help mature her lungs and that is helping her breath a little better.
Today Lorin and I had the chance to go see them in the hospital. We got to go in the NICU and see little Leighton. She is so tiny and so precious. Words and pictures can't even explain how small she is. Her head is only about the size of a fist. She is such a cutie and already has more hair than Paisley! She is doing as well as can be expected and the doctors say she will be in the hospital for about 5-6 weeks.
Congratulations Rachael and Davis. Our prayers are with you and we love ya!

These are just some random pictures of Paisley that I wanted to share.

Red polka dot bikini!

Over the weekend me, Paisley, my sister, and my mom took a little trip to Eureka Nevada. For those of you who are wondering where that is; it's a little town in the middle of no where in Nevada. This is where my mom grew up. It is so small that there were only 12 people in her graduating class. We went there because my grandpa who is 76 was baptized. It was so awesome! I am so happy that I was able to be there to witness that. It was such a special day for our family. While we were there we took a trip to the local pool and Paisley went swimming for the first time. She cried when she first got in but then I think she actually ended up enjoying it. It was so fun to see her kicking her little legs around in the water. So here are some pictures from our trip and Lorin's first father's day.
As soon as Paisley's aunt Hailey found out that I was having a girl she went out and bought her this cute little red polka dot bikini. It was so fun to put it on her for the first time. She looked so cute!

When we got back from Nevada we surprised Lorin with a new grill for Father's Day and had a barbecue. He loved the grill but I think he was more excited to see his baby girl come home!

All smiles! (between 8:00am-12:00pm)




Paisley is finally smiling at us! In the beginning she would pull these little grins when she passed gas or when her tummy was full but now she is actually smiling at us. It is SO much fun! But she definitely has her happiest times of the day. In the mornings between about 8-12 she is full of smiles. But as the day goes on it gets harder and harder to make her smile. But lucky for us we are both usually around in the mornings so we just sit around trying to make her smile. It's hard to catch her in the act but I managed to get a few pictures of her adorable smile.


It's been quite a while since I have done any postings so I have quite a few picture to share. I am addicted to taking pictures of Paisley. I take at least one every day. Like I said OBSESSED! Since there are so many I wanted to share I decided to stick them in this little slide show to make it easier.
