Pure Joy

When Romney and Scott chose Jocelyn's name, Jocelyn Kate, they told me it meant "Pure Joy". (I wanted to call her PJ's, but Romney said only until she was born!) Jocelyn spent most of the last week with us and I can say that she lives up to her name! She was so much fun! It helps to have aunts and uncles who adore her, so I am not on duty 24/7, but we loved it! We went swimming, and to the park and played in the yard and we went to the mall and bought a stuffed Goofy because he is her favorite.

We let her pick him off the shelf...


She looked at me like, "You aren't going to make me put this back are you?...


It must have been destiny to have Goofy that day because, as you can see, Jocelyn is wearing her matching Goofy skirt...look how all the colors in her skirt match Goofy's clothes!



And then the best part...does anything say Pure Joy better than this????

The Cake

No one will be more excited to have my children raised than Aunt Cheryl, because then she will be done making driver license cakes...or she will have moved on to the next generation! But she might still have a few years of wedding cakes to make! Tim had his birthday last week and, once again, we received "the cake". Of course it was perfect and delicious (white cake with chocolate filling in the middle!) Thanks Aunt Cheryl...now we just have to finish up driver's ed so he can get the real thing!
