Family Ties..

Being a family girl, I like to spend as much time as I can with the ones I love most, especially if I don't get to see them very often..

Before my grandma and great-grandma flew back to New York, we stopped for some lunch at Chuck-a-rama on the way to the airport.. Great company, great food, who could ask for more, right?

Selma chillin' with her g-mas

She loves her good-looking uncle Jake

This just proves how much Selma looks like Sky, I see pictures of her with me or the reflection of us in the mirror and I wonder if people are like "is that your baby?" My mom says that it's payback for all the people that said I looked so much like my dad when I was a baby
..
A slightly less-formal 5-generation picture right before saying goodbye.. We loved having you two here, miss you guys!!
Selma was also able to meet her other great-grandma on my side, my dad's mom, Chona.. She'd been dying to meet Selma since she was born but we had just never been able to work out a time to make it down to SLC, we're slackers, I know.. Luckily, my dad's brother, Bruce, and his wife, Lisa, came up from Vegas and brought her up to my dad's house so we could have a little get-together, it was so great seeing all of them!!

My little bro, Jake, and super cute half-sista, Isabella

She is the best little aunt to Selma, she's only 20 months and has been saying Selma's name since she was born.. Here she is giving "baby Selma" a kiss, she loves to love on her


Just a little glimpse of how Selma can get overwhelmed when she's meeting new people when there's a lot of commotion around her.. She's already got a little bit of separation anxiety or something, I'm doomed!!











These two siblings love to get their pictures taken, Joey and Isabella, they're so much fun!

We never get pictures of us together so I figured if we got one, might as well post it!









My uncle Bruce and aunt Lisa, she is a pro-crocheter!! She mailed me the cutest little crocheted blanket that is so soft and warm, I love it!! She has made me determined to learn, thanks so much Lisa!!

My dad, little-but-taller-than-me-by-almost-a-foot bro Dan, and Selma getting to know her great-g-ma

My grandma is so great with babies, she doesn't get uneasy when they cry and just loves snuggling with them, she's so cute!

Here's a good pouty face finally caught on camera

Selma loved meeting more of her extended family, can't wait to see you again Grandma! We love you!!

All the girls, minus Selma.. Grandma, me, my beautiful step-mom, Salwa, Aunt Lisa, and Isabella
Thanks for having us over Dad! It was great being able to see so much family over the last little while, can't wait to see you all again soon!!
