Lily Madison Winegar

Lily Madison Winegar joined the family in December. She is David and Ana's fourth child. She is also the 16th grandchild on the Winegar side of the family. She is the sweetest thing in the world. Hardly cries, falls asleep as soon as you hold her, and has gorgeous eyes. We are happy she is here. Her blessing was the first Sunday in February and being the masochists that we are, we decided to get in our cars (AGAIN) and drive the 12 hours to Manteca, CA to be there for her. So far we have not missed one baby blessing or baptism on both sides of the Mora and Winegar family and we are not going to stop now.

While there we visited the Jelly Belly factory. They have free tours, and free samples, and a free goodie bag at the end. We love the word FREE!

This is the sample bar. They had every sample from coconut to dark chocolate to pears to strawberry jam to.....

Skunk, pencil shavings, barf, rotten eggs, ear wax!!!! It was quite the feast!

We had to wear these silly hats to prevent hair from entering the work line but we were not allowed to take pictures of the work line. BOOO! That bear in the back is made completely from jelly beans!

The following pictures are Kevin sampling.....

Dog Food...

Ear wax....

Rotten Egg...

and Barf! He has no shame!

After the Jelly Belly Factory, we toured the Travis Air Force Base Museum. It had huge airplanes out side and fun simulators inside for the kids to pretend in.

Sunday was the blessing and it was an excellent day. It had been raining for forever in CA and we got lucky to get good weather. David did an amazing job at blessing his little girl. She is a lucky little princess.

The very talented Ana, with help from her very talented mother, made Lily's blessing dress. She had a home made dress, a home made bow, and a home made blanket. Beautiful treasures to keep and hold dear. Ana used her wedding dresses to make this sweet little blessing dress. She was the perfect little poser while I was taking pictures and followed me with her eyes every time I moved. She is such a doll.



Poor kids! You probably think we are such horrible parents making our kids be in the car for so long, but they were such great troopers.

Now back to reality. We got back to AZ and did house chores. We love AZ because the weather is amazing in the winter. The kids helped Papa spray weeds, rake leaves, and mow the lawn. It was really cute.

That's it! No more road trips or regular trips... that is until we hit NYC in April! I sure miss my Mom and Dad! Plus its my 10 year High School reunion. Boy am I getting old!
