Formerly "To China For Kelly"

When I originally set up this blog, it was to chronicle our trip to China to adopt our daughter, Kelly; thus the title, "To China For Kelly." But now that I've decided to keep it up as my on-line scrapbook/journal, the title needs updating.
Inspired by my girls, who, despite their ten year age difference, both love lollipops and lip gloss; it is now titled, "From Lollipops to Lip Gloss." This is not to leave my son out, who also loves lollipops, but isn't too big on lip gloss, understandably!

More Fun with Friends

Here are the rest of the pictures from our time with our friends, and a few others of Kelly!




Funny face for the camera... I think she just wants the headband OFF!


Yeah, I think this is the official "get this thing off my head" look before she really started to fuss us!

While Debbie, Blake, and Britney were here, we celebrated Blake's 7th Birthday together! We were so honored to be a part of it- we remember when he was a little toddler, so it's awesome to see him growing so big and strong!

"Happy Birthday Blake!!!"

You can barely see Britney behind the chair!

Little Kelly says to the paparazzi, "Come on! Can't we get some privacy here? I said no autographs please! Now give me that camera!"




Having fun with the girls... Britney is such a little sweetheart... I wish she were around more often. What a great little role model she is to Kelly.

What a beautiful bunch of kids!

Britney- the living doll!

Camryn and Blake pose for Britney... she did a great job taking this picture, wouldn't you say? Of course, who could go wrong with subjects as handsome as Blake and as beautiful as Camryn?!?


We went roller skating with friends on Blake's birthday. Here's Caleb with his friend, Cody. They tear it up out there, I tell ya!

Camryn and Blake racing around the rink! Blake really took off on his roller blades!

The Birthday boy is happy to be roller skating on his special day!

Britney- showing her mom how to roller skate!

Kelly and Mom look on...



We sure had a great time while the Blomquist Family was with us! Friends are the flowers in the garden of life, and boy did we pick some good ones!

We love you too! The only thing that would have made it any better is if Jack had been with you! That's okay though- next time, for sure! We want to come up and see you in your new place after you get settled, so hopefully it won't be too long before we see you again. I really do miss you guys so much! Your kids are the greatest. Thanks so much for making the trip down. We love you all!!!
