White dress

This last Sunday Seneca got her first white dress & was blessed in church.  Sean's mom made the dress she wore & his Aunt Elaine made the bonnet.  They both turned out absolutely beautiful!!  I posted pictures of the day, which are all out of order & for some reason don't want to let me easily put them in the order I want.  I'm thinking of switching to another blogging sight cause I'm not too fond of the changes made to blogger.  We knew it was a busy time cause its summer, but alot of our family was able to be there. 
Sean's dad & my dad stood with Sean for the blessing, along with our stake president Bawden.  It was a beautiful blessing!  Sean & I both feel very strongly that she will seek out ways to increase her knowledge & education alot in her life. Seneca is a very special girl!  She has had a strong little spirit since the moment she was in me.. & before that too!  I knew there was  a little girl coming to our family before the doctor told me.  Now that I see how much she moves her chubby little arms all around, I understand how I felt her so much inside me.  God truly blessed our family to send her to us.  She already has Sean, Sam & Joe all wrapped around her little fingers!  & Mommy would do anything for her!!!!
After church we had everyone over to our house for some sheet cake & ice cream.  I tried the Pioneer Woman's chocolate Sheet Cake recipe... WINNER!  Go HERE for some deliciousness, if you dare!!!  All I will say is that there is an entire pound of butter used before its all over.  How could it be bad?? Right!!!

Daddy said she was fussy cause the dress was too hot (it is over 100degrees).. he may have been right!

4th fun

We had a pretty awesome 4th of July this year :) 
We decided to drive up north for the day & relax in the pines, swim a little & then watch fireworks without sweating.  The boys got insanely dirty, played some baseball, had some light saber fights, swam & ran around like little boys do.  Sean's family joined us for some fun.
