"Sit tall in the saddle, Hold your head up high
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky
And live like you ain't afraid to die
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"

I don't know how or why I didn't expect to be this busy...

I honestly have had good intentions of blogging but never seem to find an extra second.... Somehow I didn't understand that just adding one baby to the already chaotic, crazy "Hilton life" would triple??? my every day work!? Who knew and why didn't they tell me? So this is my fastest attempt at an update........ We had a fabulous Easter Sunday. The boys were so excited because the Easter bunny "somehow knew" they really wanted some "real" soccer shoes and uniforms!

We even baked an easter bunny cake that REALLY impressed Mark (until Aunt Kris showed up and spilled the beans that she (and I) had seen the idea on TV the day before! thanks a lot!)

I set up the kitchen (and kids) to color eggs but then was abruptly called away to nurse Harlie- let's just say Mark was not very happy to have to take over the project- but he did great at not letting the kids know that he thinks coloring eggs is stupid!

Harlie got her first bath on Easter. Her cord didn't fall off until she was three weeks old and then we had to wait another whole week to be able to put her in water- she LOVED it! I thought it was adorable that she still fit in the sink!

Kortlen and Tristen have been the best brothers and my biggest helpers! They are so in love with this little girl! They have been so patient with her even though she cries a lot. I love to watch and listen to them with her, it melts my heart.



Harlie hated her oxygen and was constantly trying to get it off of her face. When the doctor finally took it off she was so calm and happy (and so was I!) I took her home and ran around my house with her just because she wasn't hooked up to anything anymore and "we could"!


My little Ross has been so patient with me and so loving to his new sister- his favorite thing is to kiss her on the head (it's so dang sweet!) Every time I have her on her changing table he comes toddle'n in with his stool so he can stand next to me and see what she's doing.



Daddy and Harlie having a good, long, talk.


The little monkeys on her shoulders are her friends and when she can't find her binky she just turns her head and gives them little licks.

She constantly has one arm up whether she's awake or asleep. Mark says she's practicing her "Rodeo Queen wave" (I hope not, I hate how they wave!)

First time to church at six weeks old. She had RSV people!- okay, I admit I would have liked to milk it longer! Thanks for the cute dress Aunt Leslie!


And this is my sweet girl today! She is doing SO much better and finally getting bigger!
