My 26th Birthday

I had a WONDERFUL birthday, I invited all the ladies of my family to join me for lunch at Joes Farm Grill and my mom was amazing and made it into a little party. It was so FUN! We went back and hung out at my Grandmas and had cake and ice cream. Wal Mart makes yummy cakes but they struggle with spelling :) 

That night Jeff and I went out on birthday date, we went to dinner and then shopping for new shoes and a new bike. Dinner was so fun, I had never been but Jeff talked about how good the food was and the fun atmosphire. He did not lie, it was amazing! 






Another Cabin Trip (April 2012)

Every time we go to the cabin I debate if I should bring my camera or not, I mean how many pictures do we need of us at the cabin. But every time I'm glad I brought it. Jeff, Mason and Craig made it their mission to make a bike trail by the cabin they spent almost the whole weekend clearning a path. They ended up with Posin Ivy all over, NOT FUN! 
The girls loved helping the boys outside, It was wonderful weather, it was hard not to be outside.

Another reason I'm glad I brought my camera, after 8+ years of going to the Williamson's Cabin I had a First. I don't know how but this was my first time up to the watch tower and it was amazing!! I told Jeff this is now a cabin must, I need to go every time. It was beautiful up there. They also had these amazing rock formations. I was in LOVE.
On the way home we pullled over to this fun look out, and again I was so glad I had my camera. Disclaimer: Paisley is not standing on an edge, although that is the look we were going for, Jeff deleted the next picture which was me popping my head up behind her.
I LOVE Masons and Craig's pictures haha

Fathers Day

AKA pick on mom day.
Fathers day was great and bad
We started our day off with making breakfast for daddy while he slept in
We made him his favorite, biscuts and gravy
Daddy ate and then rushed to get ready and get to meetings at church
I hurried and got the girls all ready for church, put a show on for the girls and ran to jump in the shower
As I got out of the shower I knew it was too quite
I went to check on the girls, just to find them playing with red lipstick
Oh boy!

I cleaned up that disater and and hurried to finish getting ready for church
After only running about 5 minutes late (yes that's good for me) I quickly gallered all of our church gear and loaded up the car.
I got Liberty in the car and went back inside for Paisley
stood at the door calling for Paisley and after no luck I started searching the house, NO sign of Paisley!
Finally I heard a cry coming from the shower, There I found Paisley sitting in the shower COVERED in soap and in her eyes!
AHH I hurry and clean her up (the car is still running with Liberty inside)
She now has Lipstick and soap all over her dress, no time to change
Church was perfect (life is great now that Paisley goes to nursery)
After church we rush home and I begin the rush of Sunday afternoon. Church ends at 2 and there is a short window that I have to get kids feed and down for naps before it's too late to even nap for the day.
Both girls ask for chocolate milk, both girls get chocloate milk, both girls SPILL choclate milk!
Clean up Chocolate milk
I make them mac a cheese for lunch.
Just as I give both girls their bowls of Mac and cheese Liberty says: Paisley watch this cool trick, and she slides her bowl arcoss the table. It was like a slow motion nightmare. The bowl slides off the table and spills on the floor! You have got to be kidding me!
By that point I was so DONE!
It took everything in me to clean that up throw the girls in bed, and plop my tired body in bed for a quick nap!
Don't we LOVE sundays!

Easter 2012

 I love Easter, and just like every other year, we had a wonderful day! It started early, we found our baskets and hunted for eggs. It was so fun this year, both girls were so excited and really got into looking for eggs. 
 I SCORED this year at the dollar store and loaded up the girls baskets. Really I was so impressed with this dollar store that my mom told me about in mesa. It's pretty cool :) 

 The good thing about having little kids is, that you don't have to do everything in order. After our egg hunt we came in and boiled eggs. We did a quick coloring of eggs ate them and got ready for church :) 

After Church we went over to my moms to have dinner and another egg hunt. We had for the kids and one for the "big" kids. As always it was a BLAST! My mom found eggs (at said dollar store) that were filled with confetti so you can see the excitement that was had as we figured this out while we are all searching for the money eggs during the adult egg hunt. It was SO FUNNY! 
I took pictures of the girls in their Easter dresses at the temple, I will post those next.

A New Sister

YAY! It finally happened, Brooke and Austin are married!
Back in February we put together a bridal shower for Brooke. It was so fun for us to be able to do this for our new sister. It helped that we had it in her already beautiful and charming backyard. 

It was a great turn out with so many wonderful family and friends. 


We played a game called "He said, She said" you hold up a crown if you think it was Brooke's answer and a mustache if you think Austin said it. It was SOO funny. They both had the most hilarious anwers. Plus it made for great pictures. 


Not your typical game of how well do you know your groom. We blind folded Brooke and then had the guys walk out and she had to guess what legs were Austin's. She had NO idea what guys were there. It was so funny to watch and in the end she knew her groom :)

It was a whole new experience this time around, it was fun to be on the groom end of it all this time. All of us girls made it our mission to give Brooke the BEST wedding dinner. I think we pulled it off :) 

These two are so in love, and have the best support group of friends and family. It was seriously the best wedding dinner I have ever been to. The toasts that were made left us all laughing and crying! They also showed their wedding video here, and it wasn't your typical wedding video. It was AMAZING! I wish I had a copy to share. 

The wedding day! 
Everything was PERFECT! 


The Reception was at Brooke's parents house house and it was AMAZING!! Seriously pictures can not do it justice. It was so cute! Well done Stirling family! :) 


It was a FUN night! Congrats Austin and Brooke!

Paisley


Paisley is growing up so fast!
Some things about Paisley:
She doesn't like to watch TV like her sister, but if she does watch it she loves the show Yo Gabba Gabba.
She is talking like crazy!! She calls Liberty "B" If you ask her where Liberty is (while Liberty is out of the room) she will look around and then hold up her hand and shrug her shoulders and say I don't know!
She will also walk around the house saying B where are you!?!
She loves to play with Liberty, they have so much fun playing in their room or out in the back yard.
She loves her daddy
She has so many teeth!
She sings!! haha She walk around the house singing happy birthday all day long. It sounds like this appy birday too eww. SO CUTE!!
Also anytime you go to put her to bed she will start to sing Twinkle Twinkle. enikle enikle are!
She LOVES shoes
It amazes me everyday to hear her laughing and talking!


Liberty



Liberty is growing up so fast! The saddest part about me not blogging anymore is that I'm missing out on remembering all the wonderful moments with my children.


Liberty is getting so TALL! The last time we took her to the doctor she was in the 90%. That's crazy!! Must be from her tall parents :) 
Right now Liberty is really into:
 My Little Ponies we watch that show 24/7 around here. 
She loves to collect rocks, everywhere we go she HAS to pick a rock or 10 and wants to take them all home.
She LOVES being a big sister. She will tell me about 5 times a day. "mom, I'm a good big sister right!?" 
She is leaning so many new words it's crazy! She talks like an adult and it kills me. The other day she came up to me and asked me what my catch phrase was!! haha She said it was Oh my goodness! 
She loves to learn, I need to be better at it but she loves it when we have preschool together. 
She asks to go the Mall at least 3 times a week! 
She also loves Hello Kitty and loves me to do hello kitty hair. (two little buns on top of her head, like hello kitty ears) 
She loves books, and the reading the scriptures every night 
She is loving being a sunbeam. 
She sings I'm a child of God all day long. 

These are a few things that come to mind about my Liberty girl right now.
