We'll miss you Grandma

My grandma passed away this morning and I just wanted to offer a tribute because she has always been a huge part of my life. She was a loving wife, mother, grandma, and great grandma. I'm so grateful that God allowed her to be in our lives as long as she was. She'll be so missed.

This is a tough week for my family...so keep us in your prayers...and to those who've been praying, thank you! Your prayers have been felt! I love you all!

 

 

 

 

Another Helton is on the way

Yup, that's right...Kevin and I are expecting baby number 3 (and we're assuming there will not be twins this time around). It's time for me to get serious about potty training Emma and Maddie!

 

The Triplets

Emma, Maddie, and Hailey don't know it, but they're going to be best friends someday!

 

 

 

 

Zoo day

Kevin had yesterday off work for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We took advantage of the lovely weather and headed down to meet the Blackley's at the San Diego zoo. We had a great day. Emma and Maddie conquered some serious animal fears, and had a great time!

Randomness

The girls really like to dress themselves now, especially Maddie. Here are some photographs of their keen fashion sense!

 

 

 

 

Progress!

My Aunt Becky finished painting the flowers all over the girls room after two days of hard work! Here's what their room looks like. The room isn't done yet, but it is definitely looking like a little girl room!

 

 

 

 

It's About Time!

We spent so much time decorating Emma and Maddie's first room in our townhouse, only to move six months later (had we known that we'd be selling our townhouse, we wouldn't have put in so much effort). We weren't able to jump in and decorate Emma and Maddie's new room as quickly, but we're finally making progress. Kevin painted, and my aunt Becky is painting flowers on the wall as we speak. Oh yes, a special shout out to my aunt Becky for taking the time to paint millions of flowers on the wall during her visit to SoCal from Washington! There is still lots to come. Chair railing, curtains, bedding...but we're getting there!
