Lucy Jane's baby blessing was this past Sunday on March 4, 2012. It was a beautiful blessing that Justin gave her. He did a great job! We had a very big circle with very big and tall men. (Justin, his brother's: Shane, Jonathan, Jason, Joseph, and Jake, my father Ladd, my brother in law Blaine, my brother Nicholas, and some of our friends, Scott Dickson, Josh Dickson, Andrew Mohr, Matt Wilson, and David Fritzler) It was so awesome to see! We are so grateful for the blessings in our life. We are so happy for our beautiful little girl and what a precious gift she has been in our lives. We love her so much! We are so grateful that we got to bless her this passed Sunday. She was a beautiful baby in her long white dress. My Mamma made her dress and it turned out so great! Thanks so much Mamma we loved it! You did an absolute great job! Thanks for all of those who came out to love and support us. It was a wonderful day and we were so happy to share it with everyone. We thank our Heavenly Father each day for our precious bundle of joy, Lucy Jane.

Personalizing Lucy Jane's Room...I love monograms :)

Lucy Jane's initials

Ok so this is a little random but my Mamma found this darling vintage looking earring and necklace holder at Home Goods. My Mamma actually bought one first. Her's is bronze. So I just loved it so much I went back and bought a cream colored one for me and I have loved it ever since!!

Ok so on my last post I talked about getting things from the consignment sale. This darling little smocked dress is something I found there for 15 bucks! Practically new! Some of these babys can cost up to 100-200 bucks! They are so charming and very southern! I was happy about my find and she wore it this past weekend to church.

So in Charleston they have tons of store's that can monogram things onto whatever you want. I was down in South Charlotte at my parents house a couple of weeks ago and found one of those store's! I was so excited! So I went in and found a pillow for Lucy Jane's Room. It was just a simple little white pillow. But I had them put her initials on it and it turned out so dang cute! I wanted to add just a little bit more southern charm to her pillow. So I got my glue gun out and glued on the pearls to each of the the little ruffles on the pillow. I loved how it turned out and I was so excited to put it in her room!

I think im falling in love with Consignment Sales...

I seriously love this darling rocking horse I got! It's old school looking which I think is awesome!

This leap frog toy table I found!

And finally this jungle toy I found which in a few months Lucy Jane can play with!

So about a week ago I went to my very first consignment sale. I have many friends who attend this and have wanted me to go many times and I have just never made it out there. They always get great deals on things that are either in really great shape or practically new! So I went to the Tar Heel Kid Consignment Sale. It was great! I'm not a big fan on having a thousand toys around your house for kids to play with. I feel like they end up not really playing with them and then they are just a huge pile of a mess all around your house that takes up room. Anyways of course I do want a few though :) So I found some serious killer deals on these toys I got! I was very excited. I looked at them all over for any damages and they serious feel like I bought them from the store and I got them a heck of a lot cheaper! Anyways I am now a fan of consignment sales as long as they are good ones :) I mean who doesn't want stuff cheaper right!

Grandpa Hall's Funeral

So of course I am a little late on this. But on February 13th, 2012 my Grandpa Hall passed away. He lived a good long life. He was a great man who many loved. I have so many memories of Grandpa Hall and what a great man he was in life. The funeral was so beautiful and very nice. It was actually a very happy occasion. It was like a mini family reunion. I got to see many cousins I hadn't seen in a while and it was great to see some of my siblings along with it! Also while we were in Utah we got to do many other things. We got to go to Maddox Ranch House twice....love that place! We also got to go to Cafe Rio. I was in Heaven! I got to go meet up with one of my best friends Adri and her wonderful mother Miss Carla! We went to my cousin Haley's BYU basketball game and of course hung out with more old friends and family. We had a great trip! Even though its sad when someone passes along....its also a good thing because we know we get to see them again someday. That is what is so wonderful about the gospel. We can return back to our Father in Heaven. We love you Grandpa Hall and even though we will miss you. We will surely get to see you again! MUCH LOVE!

I got to meet up with my of my best friends Adri and see her little darling girl again Miss Evelyn!

And of course Miss Carla was there too!!!

Lucy Jane and her cousin Rhett got to meet for the first time....they are only 3 weeks apart
