Halloween PJs

I love all holidays. One night when Sean was out of town we did an early Halloween party. We watched Halloween movies, ate pumpkin pancakes, and (of course) bought new pajamas!

Logan Marathon

Over the past year, Sean and I have become half marathoners. We were both signed up to run the Top of Utah half marathon. Unfortunately, two weeks before the race I got a stress fracture in my foot and couldn't run, but Sean still did it. Even though I was bummed that I didn't get to run, I had a blast cheering on my babe! He did awesome!

My in-laws were so sweet and came down to Logan to cheer him on. Taylee was so excited that she ran about a mile with him. It was so much fun to be there together!

Timpanogas Caves

We climbed to Timpanogas Caves this last fall. It was soooooo much fun. The climb was fairly steep for Pax and Bryns, but well worth it.

Family Pics

Here is an updated family of my cute little family. We took it in St. George at my dad's 60th birthday party! It was so much fun to get our whole family together.

Hello again

Ok, time flies.....my blogging is horrible....

We are still alive and happy in Lehi, UT. I will slowly try to catch all my blogs up, but for now I will start with October of 2011 and go from there!

Silly girls

It is days like today that I really miss being close to family. Especially certain sister-in-laws. The one who has her cosmetology license. And can fix hair cuts given by 6 year old sisters. Both Taylee and Brynlee think the new haircut is so cute. But its not. It looks like a kindergartner cut it. Silly girls.

Taylee's Big Day

Look at my little girl!

I told Taylee that she could get earrings when she was five. But she said no.

I told her that she could get them when she was six. But she said no. She said she was going to wait til she was thirty.

And then, yesterday, out of nowhere, we visit Claire's at the mall to get hairclips. We check out and my little gal says, "Mommy, I want to get my ears pierced today."

I tried to talk her out of it. She had school in an hour, I wasn't sure if Sean would approve, and, well...Taylee is a big WUSS! (is that how you spell it?) If you read this later, honey, I'm really sorry! But its true.

But Taylee persisted in wanting her ears pierced. She almost broke into tears when I said no.

And then the Claire's lady went into sales-mode. They DID have 2 people working so they could do both ears at once. The weekend was ALWAYS super busy. And it is ALWAYS better to do it according to the child's wants instead of the parents.

Crossing my fingers for the best, I said, "OK."

About three minutes later, and absolutely no tears, we walked out of the store with two new holes in my daughter's ears. She held my hand and didn't even flinch when it was done. In fact, I even had to ask, "Is that it?"

So proud of my little girl. I can't believe how fast she is growing up! And
I will no longer say she is a "Wuss." She completely proved me wrong :-)


And as a side note, she told me last night that she is almost like a mom now. She can whistle and has her ears pierced. I guess those are two BIG requirements to being a mom!

Gotta love it!
