I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Oh Chels.. she's beautiful! I can't believe she's smiling already {even if it gas..}
That picture is so cute! It makes me giggle, and puts a smile on my face. Bryson and Tanner think it's cute too. She has a beautiful smile...kinda reminds me of yours.
so so cute! That makes me baby hungry!
That smile totaly looks like a Chelsey smile. How cute!!! I want to smooch those cute little cheecky's.
Darling! Josh claims he got a smile too... So I guess they just love their daddy's from the start!!
Dear Chelsey,
I'm so glad you have lots of pictures! Alyssa is growing and changing already. We miss her. She is so adoreable, as are Ashlynn and Hailey. Can hardly wait to see everyone again.
Love Mom Mackley
What a cute smile! And I so don't agree that it is gas...who smiles like that when they have gas!
