Whose baby is this?

No one seems to be able to tell just who Hazel looks more like. Some say she looks just like mommy, some say she looks just like her daddy, and others think she is a good combination.

So what do you think???

Hazel was having a ball with both of us right in her face. She loves the attention!

I looked out the Window and what did I see.......??

Popcorn popping on the apricot trees.

Spring has brought me such a nice surprise.

Blossoms popping right before my eyes.

I can take an arm full and make a treat.

A popcorn ball that would smell so sweet.

It wasn't really so, but it seemed to me.

Popcorn popping on the apricot tree.

I am so grateful for Spring and all the beauty it brings. It is a sign of new life and fresh starts.

Happy Easter!!!

Hazel and Ida Pearl together at last!!!

It was so great to get these girls together. We have been very patiently waiting to meet Miss Ida Pearl for 3 whole months and she was worth the wait. Ida is so different from Hazel. She is longer, lighter hair (it is a strawberry blond), very easy going, she has the cutest little cry that is pretty high pitch. She is just so beautiful!!! (not trying to imply the Hazel isn't beautiful, because frankly she is beautiful too) I tried to hang out in Ida's face as much as possible so that hopefully she would have an image of me in printed in her mind. I love her so much and hope that she will learn to love me as much as I love her already!

It seems to be that Ida and Hazel even started to rub some of there traits on to each other. Rumor has it that after we left Ida was pretty fussy and wanted to be held and Hazel decided that playing on the floor wasn't all that bad. This is sad the the Shaws, but great for the Sorrells. Thanks Ida!!

The crazy thing about this photo shoot is that Laurel and I didn't plan the matching outfit thing. They just showed up in the same dress. Then later that day it happened again. We both went home, changed the girls, came back and they were both in pink polka dot outfits. Crazy Right?

Thanks Ida for being the best girl cousin Hazel could ask for. I hope that they grow up to be best friends.

L O S T

I have been enjoying the ABC series LOST since it first aired 6 years ago. When Justin and I got married I soon converted him to the show. And at the beginning of this school year (Aug 2009) we started over from beginning to give Justin the full story and all the back ground info need to better understand what in the world is going on.

Last year at school some friends of ours started a little LOST party and several of our friends would all get together to watch the show. I am happy to say the this year is no different. We look forward to our weekly gatherings with sweet treats and great friends. We all seem to have different opinions on who is good, who is bad, and how we think it is going to end up. It really adds to the thrill of the show.

We are missing Adam and Joy in this picture :(

Here are some cookies that I made for our Valentines week showing.

We are excited to get back to our LOST parties next week!!!
