My mom is known for coming and staying after the birth of each grandchild and cooking meals, cleaning out cupboards, and helping in any other way needed. Well, she was not able to come because she and my dad are on a mission for our church in the Manchester, England area. Both my mom and I have been very sad to not have her here but we know she is where she needs to be right now. My sisters all felt bad for me =) so some of them came to stay with us during the first few weeks after Bella was born for a couple days at a time. It was so nice to have them and their help. They were all here within the couple weeks before we moved so they were SO very helpfuly in getting us packed and taking care of us.


First, Cindi came with my niece Hannah from San Dimas, California. Cindi and her husband Brian were able to go to Hawaii for a week before Bella came so she got here as soon as she could. She left 6 of her 8 kids at home and came up to see us!


Then, Julie and Lexie came at the last minute from Rexburg, Idaho. The whole family went to a funural in St. George, UT and Julie decided she might as well spend the week in California =). She and her kids drove to Cindi's house and then her and Lexie came up to Fresno while the other 6 out of 8 stayed at Cindi's.


And Finally, Stacey and Heather came to see us from Pleasant Grove, Utah. Heather had a Feis Competition in Thousand Oaks so they were able to come up to Fresno before they had to be there. Heather got into Irish dancing while they lived in Ireland for a couple years. She is awesome!
