Princess Party

Happy Birthday, to our sweet little Princess!

(don't you just love the mismatched princess shoes? She loves Cinderella AND sleeping beauty so she wore one of each. whatever...it's her birthday) :)

{B} turned 3 today. She invited 6 of her little friends over for a princess party, with a special guest of honor Princess Kylie. Kylie was so darling with the girls. They all were smitten with her. seriously...Kylie should go be a professionally princess at Disneyland. She is the BEST!

The girls all looked so darling in there princess attire.

We had fun playing a "fishing" game in the castle. {J} was our little helper inside, and he gave them each a candy neckless to wear.

We transformed our bike trailer/stroller into a carriage. {K} is so strong and gave each of the girls a ride. They LOVED this. He insisted on "being the horse" so he pulled from the front. It looked uncomfortable, but he and the girls all loved it. ha ha.

They all loved playing pin the crown on Princess Kylie. After each turn Kylie gave them a crown shaped container (it was actually in the Easter section, with all the Easter eggs) filled with pink and red m&m's.

Everyone got to pick a different princess to color. Each girl got her own box of Princess crayons to take home with them. Princess Kylie was darling and went around to each girl and asked their favorite Princess and color and such.

Next she read them a story. Don't you just love the cute little friend parked right up on Kylie's skirt. :)

The girls all got a feather boa and we turned on some waltz type music for them to dance to. {K} and {J} used some bubble guns and sprayed the dance floor with bubbles. They all were so cute and full of giggles. Made me laugh to watch and listen to them.

{B} loved all of her presents. She got hooked up. Thank you everyone for all the thoughtful gifts!

sweet little princesses watching with great anticipation.

It's official, she's really three!

We played pass the "poison apple" hot potato style. When the music stopped whomever had the apple got a magic wand.

We also gave out crowns rings and other fun princess-y things.

We did cupcakes with personalized crowns.

Kylie definitely made {B} one happy little girl! Thank you Kylie~We love you!!!

Happy Birthday my sweet little {B}! We are so excited to see all the great things you will do. Thank you for being such a special little addition to our family. WE LOVE YOU!!!

Happy Birthday little sweeties!

Two of my nieces had a birthday this month so here's a shout out to them. They are both darling little girls. I wish we lived closer to them and they could know how cool their Aunt D really is. :)

First is my sister Becki's baby Kate. She is one now. Holy cow. She's getting so big and is so darling. =

Next is my brother Ric's little girl Amy. She is a sweet motherly little angel.

Happy Birthday little ones. We LOVE YOU!!!

Happy Birthday Rob!

Today is my brother Robs b-day. I love this pic of him with his youngest 2. It is exactly how Rob is with the kids soooo loving and sweet with them. I love the bond he has with each of his kids. Rob is truely one of my biggest heros. He has always been the best protective big brother ever. If anyone treats you wrong, he is always there to make it right or give you advice on what to do. He is always out helping someone and asks for very little in return. He has such a big heart! I want to be like him in everyway. I sure do love you and hope you have a wonderful day, You deserve it!

August b-day and Eternal families

Well I am once again behind on my August b-day postings. (at least the cards were on time right?) Anyway, here is a special shout out to all you August b-days.

Our niece Emily (in the middle) turned 1 August 10th. She is soooo cute and I'm so glad she is apart of our family.

Our niece Rachel shares the same birthday as little Emily. She is such a sweet little girl and great big sister. She is always smiling and lots of fun to be around.

Matt turned 18 on the 17th. He just moved to AZ and I'm so excited. Hopefully we'll get to see him somewhere between girls, work, friends and life. Matt is a musician and has such amazing talent. I could listen to him sing all day long.

Mandy (Ryan's sister) had a b-day on the 31st. She is an easy going fun person to be with. She is also so hip. She has such great style and always wears the cutest things. She's definately very girly even though she was raised with all boys. :)

Our Best Friends Tom and Amy celebrated their 7th anniversary on the 31st. We got to see them in Vegas that day and had fun traveling and hanging out with them on our last trip. They are sooooo much fun and we have the greatest laughs when we are with them. We'll be in serious withdrawal if they ever move, but I'm not going to think about that right now. :)

We hope you all had a great day and know how much we love you! Thanks for being such a special part of our lives.

A year ago my sisters famiy adopted the cute little baby in this picture. The first week of August we heading to St. George to witness the Sealing of this adorable little baby to her sweet little family. We are so glad she is ours now and that we were able to be there and enjoy some fun times with family. CONGRATULATIONS and thanks for the fun visit.

Happy Birthday Brittley. She is so fun to talk with. She has an amazing singing voice and such a fun happy personality. Brittley's b-day was July 10th. We love you!

Happy Birthday Alyssa. I have known her for years and I miss her terribly. She has an adorable little family and I am so glad to be in better contact with her now days. She has always been a great listener and helped keep things a little more exciting growing up in such a small town. Her B-day was july 13th

Sean's b-day was July 13th as well. He is so awesome. He just got back from his mission and has been fun to talk to. He is a cute Uncle with the kids and a good brother to his family.

My Mom's b-day was July 13 too. crasy huh-3 b-days on the same day. My mom is so amazing. I admire her so much and want to be just like her when I grow up. :) she gives the best advice, is such a good listener and my biggest "cheerleader" she supports me in everything I try to do and that means the world to me. She is an amazing Mom and incredible Grandmother. She has a way of making each grandchild feel like he/she is the center of her whole world.

Happy Birthday to our neice Kennedy. She turned 4 on the 18th. She is such a doll. She has the cutest little giggle that makes me laugh just hearing it. She has a fun loving little personality and our kids had a blast with her when we visited earlier in the month.

Kendall's birthday was the 20th. Kendall is soooo funny. He is so fun to just sit and shoot the breeze with. He is also very kind and is always willing to help you in any way he can.
