Carnival Fundraiser

If you're looking for something fun for the family, here is a great idea for you!!! This is being done by the preschool where Lacie worked as the Director. What an amazing thing they are doing for Lacie & Jake! These two sweet babies have already captured the hearts of so many people. It is so comforting to see such generosity from a community It's a good reminder that there is still good in the world and that not everything & everyone is bad

& out for only their own benefit!

Thanks Little Wonders LearningCenter!!!

Two More Special Additions!

On Sept 15th we had the very unsettling news that Sofia Adell & Lukas Jacob had arrived 14 weeks early. They are the babies of Lacie & Jake. They were born in Logan and life flighted to McKay Dee Hospital in Ogden. I had the privilege of getting to go McKay that day to be with them and send pictures to their Mommy & Daddy so they could see that they had arrived safe and sound. These two are amazing little fighters! They continue to defy the odds and they remind daily that miracles due happen. I have loved getting to know their little personalities and I enjoyed being able to spend time with them!Even if it was changing a diaper! Wow, how I wish I could get in there and change another! Unfortunately, due to the outbreak of the H1N1 Virus the NICU has shut down to only allowing Moms & Dads. Thanks Lacie & Jake for allowing me to be on the babies' card. I wish I could have spent time everyday with them. Watching them develop and change is something I will cherish! Lacie & Jake are absolutely amazing parents and people in general. They are showing amazing strength and courage.

They are keeping a blog for the babies that keeps everyone updated. If you want to take a look, just click on the link below. http://bastowmiraclebabies.blogspot.com/

Lots of Beautiful Babies!!!

On Aug 31st our extended family grew by one when little Daxon Will was born. He is the gorgeous son of Capri & Tyson, also little brother of Kaldyr. As you can see, he is darling! I was able to hold him when he was just a day old and he loved, loved to be snuggled tight! He is a bit older now then in this picture, but I love this picture so I borrowed it from Capri's blog. Thanks Capri!

Then I'll jump ahead to Oct 11th. This adorable little one is Zachary Beau. Isn't he darling!!?? Don't you just love newborns with lots of blond hair? Not very common, but he takes after his Aunt Taylor! Zachary is the son of Hudson & Vanessa. He is (in my opinion) the spittin' image of his Daddy! Sorry Vanessa, I haven't seen any baby pictures of you yet. I can't wait to get my hands on him! It's not like he lives out of state, but the farthest north point of Cache Valley is a ways!

I do LOVE these babies!!! I have always loved being an Aunt. Now these babies add to my love of being a Great-Aunt!!! It sounds so cliche', I know, but it's amazing to see the 'kids' that you always picture as 'little' having their own babies. It's even more amazing being able to see the resemblance in these new sweet faces. Congratulations to all of you!!!
