Aliah's 1st Birthday!!!

Me and my beautiful baby! I love you, Aliah! xoxo

Aliah is helping Daddy and the girls. She likes doing everything her sisters do.

Unwrapping is fun!

This one is for Dad.

We had a giraffe themed party and Grandma & Grandpa Shreeve sent this darling giraffe outfit

Reading her card from Nana & Papa. Thanks for the wagon!

The girls had a very fun time riding around in it today.

The animal cracker box was Aliah's favorite. I need to do a time-lapse photo of all the cookies

she ate. It was hilarious! After I took the box away and gave her another present to open,

she set the new present aside after unwrapping it and smoothly made her way over to

the table where I had put the animal crackers and started digging in again.

This is where she decides she really is going to enjoy this experience.

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.
