Today was a special day at church; Bella was blessed. Jesse gave a beautiful blessing and I felt the spirit very strong. Bella is such a joy to have in our family. I think back to when I was contemplating whether I should have another child or if 3 was enough for our family. I had prayed and pondered for awhile and one day as I was making my bed I remember almost having a conversation in my head and asking Heavenly Father "Should I have another child?" and almost immediately the words came into my head as, "yes, there is a child waiting to be brought into this world to receive a body and to be born into a loving family." I had a warm feeling in my bosom and felt excited to know what I was suppose to do and that my prayers were answered in such a clear way. I'm so glad I followed the promptings of the Holy Ghost. I can't quite explain it for lack of words, but I'll never forget that experience and I just thought I'd share it with you.

Bella is 5 months now and does so many cute things. She started doing this head nodding thing where she shakes her head yes when she looks at you. Especially when you ask her a question. She's always been such a communicator since I can remember either by trying to mimic my sounds or touching my cheek when I hold her or just with her smile. We all just love her so much that our hearts feel like they're going to burst! I'm so thankful that I've been blessed with such a wonderful family and will work to be the best mother and wife I should be.
My father drove up again to see his little grand baby.

Bella's dress is beautiful. She does have a sweet smile. I'm glad you have her as part of your family and as part of our extended family!
She is so cute and chubby. Can't wait to see her in a couple days!!!! Cute flower in her hair too! Thanks for sharing.
I just love you to pieces. Everytime I look at your blog I remember back to Las Cruces days. If it weren't for the positive influence of you and Janet, I don't know where I would be in life. I was such a lost 18 year old. In fact, so many times I'm embarrassed that you guys knew me during a period in my life when I wanted to be rebellious! Thankgoodness for change!

What a beautiful day and family picture also! Thanks for sharing!
