Easter 2011

This was Kinzie's first Easter!! Although she didn't know what was going on, we sure had fun with it!

This is a swimsuit she got in her Easter Basket!

....and here's the back! (I love the bow on the straps)

First thing Easter Morning, she came down to find her basket!

(don't ya love how it's bigger than she is?!?!?!?)


She didn't know quite what to think of this thing;)

But once she realized that when she touched the plastic it made a cool noise...she loved it and kept leaning toward it trying to put her head in it!!

She got books in her basket, and by how intrigued she is here, I think she might be a BoOkWoRm!! I'm okay with that:)

This was one of her Easter dresses!

This has no relation to Easter..I just thought it was cute!

And same with this one..it shows off her personality so well:)

I can't show a mommy outfit without a daddy outfit, so here ya go:)

Seeing how I hadn't gotten around to unpacking our Easter stuff yet, Richard and I didn't put each other's stuff in baskets this year.

This was my Easter "basket" from Richard!

And this is Richard's Easter "basket" from me!

Kinzie's Baby Blessing

Kinzie was blessed on Sunday, April 10th, 2011 by her father!! She looked so beautiful in her gorgeous dress and behaved so well--she was so content!!! Richard gave her a really neat blessing and the spirit was strongly felt! We are so grateful for the Priesthood Power in our lives! Thank you to all our friends and family who came to support Kinzie and share this special day with us!

Our cute little Family!

Funny Story about the day: LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER

When I was blessed, I had a blow out right before my blessing and it got all over me and my mom, so I was blessed in a blanket and my mom had to wear her coat the rest of the day. Well, Kinzie made it through her blessing, but afterward when we were taking pictures, my sister-in-law said, "what's that on her dress?" Sure enough, she too had a blow out and ruined her dress...but thanks to Woolite, we got the stains out and it's as good as new now!!

Baby Kinzie!!

On February 9th, 2011 at 10:25 a.m., we were blessed with a sweet little Miracle from Heaven! We have chosen for her the name of

KINZIE NICOLE CURZON!

She weighed 7lbs, 6oz, and 20 inches long! She is such a blessing in our lives!!

It all started at 2:15 a.m. when I was sleeping peacefully and was woken up by my water breaking. We got to the hospital at 3 (still wasn't having strong contractions), but it was about 4 before they got me hooked up and started. I was already half way dilated when we got there, so once they gave me pitocin things started rolling quite quickly! Everything went well with labor, delivery, and recovery (except that things went so quickly that the epidural kicked in a bit late, so my legs were numb all day)! We brought her home on the evening of the 10th!

Sound asleep

This was her Valentine's outfit that Grandma Stewart bought for her!

And this is her pouty face...I love it...makes me laugh every time:)

She is so much FUN!! She is super strong, determined, and independent! She has the funnest personality and the cutest facial expressions! We are so grateful to have her in our lives and as part of our family!

And I'm so grateful for Richard...this parenting stuff comes so naturally to him and he has been such a huge help! Also, it's so cute to see how much he loves his little girl and how he interacts with her and how protective of her he is already;) I couldn't have done any of this without him...from labor to raising our daughter! He is amazing!!

And a big thanks to my mom! I think there have only been 2 days since Kinzie was born that she hasn't come to see her. She too has been a big help and support!!
