Happy Halloween from the CUTEST MOTH AROUND

I will replace this with a better picture but I do like it becuase it is funny that Milly loves the chin strap up on her lips so she can lick it. She is licking everything. The other day she wa playing on a mat and pillow of her grandmas and when I went to move her it was soaked. She was acting like a type writer going back and forth of licking it. I guess she would have a made a better puppy with all the licking she is doing. Thanks Bethany for letting her wear this cute costume. And Danell she is not Bella the Butterfly she is Milly the Moth. Okay now I better explain, While Danell and I were still pregnant and talking about names we were going to name our girls Danell came up with Bella and one day at Target she found a book called "Bella Butterfly" she thought she better buy it in case she did end up naming her baby Bella. As she read the book she noticed the character Milly Moth. She called to tell me I needed to go read and buy this book. As you can probably guess Beautiful Bella Butterfly probably is beautiful and poor Milly Moth doesn't have a high self esteem I mean really have you ever seen a pretty moth. Well non the less I bought the book anyway, not to ruin the book (I'm sure your all dying to go buy it) but Milly Moth does see her beauty in the end. Danell and I always joke about this book. Right before Milly was born Brett stepped on a moth right in front of me and it broke my heart. Milly also has lots of toy butterfly's, I mean toy Moths.

More Milly pics

So I talked Casandra into getting a new camera, because everybody had a nice one but us. With the addition of Milly I really wanted to be able to take some nice pictures. I am no photographer, so they really shouldn't be judged that way, but I think there are some pictures of the two most precious girls in my life.

This is Milly in her Jenny Jump-Up. For the most part she still hates it, but we did give her another try and she smiled for a few minutes before we had a meltdown in it.


This is Milly getting ready for her photo shoot/commercial, she is a lot like her cousin Jayanne, she loves the camera.


Milly wearing her pumpkin shirt grandma gave her.


Just another cute picture of her.


Milly in her bumbo, this is another chair we got for her, again when we started she was not too sure about it all, but she has grown to be ok with it.


A picture of Milly at her grandma and grandpa's house, where she is living for the next few weeks.

Thanks Casandra for all you do for Milly and I. You are such a great wife and mother, me and Milly both love you.

In Septermber we went to Saint George for Bellas Blessing. It was our first trip with Milly and she did great. The best part of the trip was taking her to the Temple and reflecting on where our family began.

Milly Pearl

I have had a few people ask me where we came up with Pearl for her middle name.
Back in May Grandpa Satterlee was once again diagnosed with Cancer. As time drew closer and closer to having Milly Brett and I still could not figure out a middle name, we found nothing that we were sold on. We kept waiting for the moment to hit us when we knew what her middle name would be without a doubt. Even being in the Hospital while Brett was filling out the papers we still didn't have a clue. We finally just decided to name her Sandra after my mom. Well like I have blogged about before Brett's Grandpa passed away shortly after seeing a picture of Milly. He had been having a hard day but while he looked at her picture he was completely at peace. He asked if she was okay and healthy, the answer was yes and that was all he needed. Thats what he was fighting for. I am so grateful to be a part of Milly's life to be a apart of a family that loves her so much and would fight to stay alive for.
I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
After Grandpa passed away I was looking at Milly and thinking of Grandpa while reflecting of his life I thought about his many War stories, I thought about how every time he came over he would look at the fish and say "Those fish remind me of being at Pearl Harbor" than it hit me Pearl was the name I was waiting for I told Brett and he loved it as well. I could see in Bretts eyes the honor he felt that I would come up with such a name and that I would want that to be her name instead of my moms. We soon went and applied for a name change and have loved her name since. She truly is her Great Grandpa's little Angel. It has now been 3 months since grandpas passing, I still struggle with him gone. It brings a tear to my eye writing this, but I know I have a small peace of him in her that I will enjoy for years and years. Milly Pearl Singleton you are so loved.

Duane's New Calling

Recently Duane was called to be the 2nd counselor in the Stake Presidency. I keep waiting for the day he will not have such a demaning calling but I just dont think it will come and thats okay. Since knowing him he has been a bishop than the Secretary for the Stake and now this. He will do an amazing job. At Grandpa's funeral he made the remark to Brett that he wonders if he will ever accomplish and touch so many lives like Grandpa. I have no doubts that he already has. You do great Duane and were excited for you!!

Daddy's little girl

Is there any wonder why she has me wrapped around her finger? As you can see she has her outfits for the weekend until the end of football season.
