Stuart Makes More Stuff

Ever wish you had an heirloom piece to pass down for generations?
Well now I have one that I will cherish forever. Stuart made this jewelry amoir for me. It is solid walnut and soooo gorgeous. I'm so amazed how talented that he is at creating things. It also has 15 hooks for necklaces...time for a new piece of jewelry?

I have a picture like this...I hope this inspires Chiara like my picture inspired me!
Our family has a strong missionary heritage :) On her Larsen side there are missionaries such as Alma Larsen who served early in the church. On her Bruno side every person in her direct line has served a
mission so far!!!

Always Wear Sunscreen

Food Update

Chiara only hated rice mush!!!
Today she tried butternut squash for the first time and she LOVED IT!!!

She wanted squash more than her usual milk :( She wouldn't nurse for a few hours afterward because she enjoyed herself so much!!! The squash was far superior, I must admit,(that's right I taste tested...it was yummy!) So now maybe Chiara will begin to love food like mama and daddy!




P.S. Please admire our HD camera!!!

What is patriotism but the love of the food one ate as a child?

Keekers ate her first rice cereal this month...here is the momentous occasion:



She is not so sure about that taste...She also is disgusted by wheat cereal and water...Either due to hating food or very good taste. I LOVE THIS CHUBBY GIRL!!!

He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk...

But definitely not this:

I seriously cried...my baby is not suppose to grow up this fast!!!

Hippity Hoppity

We enjoyed a beautiful Easter with our friends the Olsens...we love those guys! As well as a delicious Easter dinner hosted by Lance and Kelly aka the Brunsens...we love them too! It snowed Easter morning, but we still felt warm because of good friends, food, and the spirit! General Conference also provided a renewing force and we feel refreshed and ready to begin anew.











We love all the blessing brought to us by our Savior, and are grateful for the opportunity to celebrate his gift to us!
