Happy Valentine's Day

We had a grand Valentine's morning. Cupid rang the doorbell at 6:30AM.

Thank you grandparents for all the wonderful fun gifts. We LOVE you very much!

Happy Halloween

We had a Happy Halloween! Here we are all dressed up for our ward Trunk-or-Treat. If you can't tell, Aliah is in a little monkey suit that I made for Addy when she was just 11 months old.


This was Halloween night. I dressed up the girls and we went trick or treating. Aliah isn't in her monkey costume because it was too warm outside. Yes, I said too warm, for all those family members in Utah and Idaho to hear!

Sweet Addy

Sweet Addy comes into bed with me most mornings. This morning I kept jolting awake when her hair would tickle my nose or elbow hit my head. But I was so tired I just would go right back into the same dream. So while I was dreaming I was vaguely aware that there was the sound of a t.v. tray somewhere near by. The next thing I know Addy is waking me up telling me she has brought me breakfast in bed. I sit up and smile wide as she has made me a thickly slathered with peanut butter piece of bread and a stack of like 8 oreos. She then ran down stairs and got me a cold glass of water and skipped in saying, "You know Mom, you can share the Oreos if you want to."
I smiled, I don't think I can ever remember eating oreos for breakfast. So the whole family shared the oreos (really kiddos) and I ate the peanut buttered bread. I actually dipped the oreos in the peanut butter on the bread because the spread was so thick!
I was super yummy! Thank you, Addy! You are the best.
Oh, and to top it all off, she collected all the white hair flowers and decorated my hair. I still have it in.

Dancin' In the Streets

The girls had their dance recital, entitled, Dancin' In the Streets! Arya danced to Madonna's Material Girl and Addy rocked out to Miley Cyrus', Rockstar. They both did very awesome! It was so fun to watch them up on stage.

When I write it’s like I can taste the sweetness of the words flowing off of the tips of my fingers just as sure as I can smell the delicious fragrance of the lavender plant laced through the heated breeze in my backyard.

The cutest present ever!

Yes, it is a big flower...but who cares!

I love this little baby!

Love, Mom xoxox

Pool Time

It's officially time for the pool. We had a cooler May than last year (thank goodness!) and we just enjoyed the first time in the pool. I love my girls!
