First Snow of the Year

Last week we had the first valley snow of the year. Both our dogs and McKayla were very excited about it. Here are pictures of our puppy Duke in the snow.

Play House

McKayla got this awesome play house for her b-day this year that her Grandma Annie and Papa Bear built for her. She love playing in with all her toys. Here are some photos of her house.

Spring Visit to Phoenix

I have been meaning to post these fun photos from our trip to Phoenix that we took early this spring. We visited the Zoo, the Desert Botanical Garden, Swimming, and to see the horse show Cavalia. So here are a few photos from the trip.

My Third Birthday

Yes that's right I have turn three and Mommy can't believe how the time has flown. Man has my little girl grown and changed over the past three years. In the weeks leading up to her birthday she frequently would sing the happy birthday song over and over. And every time we would go somewhere she would always say can I get that and I would reply maybe for your happy birthday. She then just started saying that about everything and her list got longer and longer.

We decided to have a princess theme at The Old Spaghetti Factory with a princess castle shape cake and all. It was such a great time and so nice to be able to spend it with our family. Below are some of the photos of the birthday party. Thanks again for coming and the great presents. (McKayla is still working on all her thank you notes so look forward to them shortly)



The very cute princess castle cake my auntie Kerry ordered for the party.



McKayla playing with her balloons. She so nicely shard one with Keegan, Sammy, and Kylee.





The face of a little girl who was trying the icing on the cake.



Singing happy birthday and yes she is singing to herself.



















"Ooh my gouch look at all the sock she bought me!!" That is what McKayla kept saying about everything. It was the funniest thing and have no idea were she got it from.

Wind Damage Again

Yes we have wind damage again to the siding of our house. It always gets so windy before storms roll in we had been lucky since last time until yesterday. It's been super windy for the past few days and yesterday I heard that awful sound of something hitting the house and sure enough it was the siding that had been blown off the house. It so far has effect both sides of the house, the top on the left and the middle on the right. But its still super windy so it might effect more today and tonight. Well hopefully the wind will stop soon so we can get our house fix quick. Here are some pics of the damage.

BLock Letters

I recently went to an enrichment night with my friend Katie at her church were we made block letters and jewelry. It was so much fun spending an evening making crafts. Here are the block letters that I made to spell McKayla.

Check Out My Make-up and Hair

Well yes McKayla got in to my make-up bag the other day while I was taking a shower. I finished and came to see why she was so quite. I found her nicely playing with my make-up bag were she put massacre on her face and was trying to use my powders and lip gloss. It was too funny how she looked so I quickly took so photos and here they are.





The other day when we got to her sitters house, Cristeen was doing Sammy's hair and of course McKayla wanted hers done too. She quickly said, "TT pretty please do my hair too?" So she sat still, for the most part, for Cristeen to do two rows of 6 pigs and it sure was cute. Here are some of the cute photos of her hair.

Valentines' Day Card

This year I decided to make our Valentines' Day cards, but only was able to make four. Next time I'll give myself more time, if I'm going to sew them by hand. Here is how it turned out.
