April Fools Day!

April Fools Day - I thought it would be funny to pull a prank on Brandon. I have to set this up a little bit he has been talking about our next child and when he wants to have it, I keep telling him lets enjoy this baby first before we have another. :)  So I got a pregnancy test that showed negative (yep I even peed on it sorry TMI) and put a paper saying "April Fools" then put it back in the box, wrapped it up all pretty. Brandon got home from school I said I have a present and he was all excited. I gave it to him, he shook it and said "Is this a pregnancy test?!" I said just open it and when he opened I was just waiting for his reaction! He looked at it and yes he got a little excited then nervous for what I was going to do if we were...then took the test out and was totally surprised that I pulled something like that off! Hahaha Happy April Fools!! :)

7 Months Huge

Sumo Baby

Loving swinging at the park

Parker is 7 months old now and is just the most fun-loving happy baby ever! :) He loves to sit and play with his toys and LOVES to laugh at his sisters. The weather was nice enough the other week we went to the park and he got to ride in a swing for the first time and loved it! He likes his bananas and apple sauce. He is such a great eater and loves his naps! Parker now growls when he gets really excited and when he gets hungry. It's quite funny! He is just growing like crazy. He is 22 lbs 2 oz and 28 1/2 inches!(That's 94%)  Just preparing for his football career when he is older! :) We just love him to pieces and are so blessed to have such a healthy happy baby boy!

A Few Extras About my Girls!

Movie Star Ashlyn...yes she had to go to the store like this

Tea Party Time with their friend Kenedee

Brookie boo and her baby

I thought that I would post a few things the girls have been up to. We play their favorite board games Disney Rumekib and Good Night Moon everyday. They have tea parties about twice a week. We LOVE to play pretend! If someone ever asks me where I live I should tell them I live in the house of fairytales and make believe! We have imaginary friends join us all the time! Usually Brooklyn's "friend" Alley is hanging around. Brooklyn loves to play babies and her baby name is Audrey (which is after her sweet little cousin) and then Parker has to be Rowan when she plays since Audrey and Rowan are twins. It's quite cute! We have Ashlyn who is a drama queen. She will get into character while she is watching everything. From dressing up and going on a date while we watch the Bachelor to a Dancing with the Stars dancer or an American Idol contestant singing using the treadmill as her stage! She will put her heels on any chance she gets! :) Lately the girls have been playing so cute together and are just so sweet with each other, their relationship really reminds me of my brothers Jordan and Tyson and how they were best friends and so close as they grew up! I just love watching them play and playing with them too! :)

An Interesting Family Scripture Time

So the other night when we were reading scriptures Ashlyn thought that since we take turns saying prayer we should take turns reading scriptures too. So we said ok and she opened the Book of Mormon and started off pretty good, saying and it came to pass...she talked about Lehi and Nephi in the wilderness and some other things from her memory that actually were right. Then it went down hill from there she said, "And then it came to pass that Santa came in his sleigh to meet Jesus in the manger with his reindeer." Ummm thats when I realized oh boy she is a little confused!! Or maybe a lot confused so we had to tell her that Santa is not in the scriptures and that there weren't reindeer at the manger with Jesus when he was born! She continued with a whole story on Santa and Nephi in the sleigh in the wilderness. We helped her understand the two different stories and she caught on after that. I would have to say her story was quite entertaining and love that she wanted to read the scriptures by herself. Oh man the things kids do and say! :)

Cheerleading!

Ashlyn and Kenedee just after they performed! 

This past week Ashlyn got to do a little cheer leading clinic with her friend Kenedee. She had so much fun she just loves performing and learning the dances. Ashlyn takes these clinics very seriously she will come home from the clinics and practice and then perform the dance many times to get ready for the real performance. It's so cute! It's fun to watch her learn and develop a talent! :)

Parker Boy is 6 months!

Parkers 6 month Stats:
20 lbs 6 oz
28 inches

He just loves his blanket! This is how he sleeps sometimes he will  pull his blankie over his whole face...so cute!

Parker's first time having rice cereal, yummy!

I can't believe my little man is already 6 months old today. He is just the happiest baby ever! I thought my girls were happy babies but he is really happy and LOVES to sleep. Yeah finally one that sleeps good. :) He loves his big sisters hugs and kisses. He just started sitting up which he thinks he is really big to play with toys sitting up! He likes peek a boo and likes to touch peoples faces and give big open mouth kisses. It's so cute! He loves watching himself move his fingers and feet. He is just so interested in how his hands and feet work its so cute when babies learn they have control over their hands and feet. He still is having at least one blow out a day, I stopped blaming the diapers and realized it was just him. He makes me smile I can just sit all day with him and just play and cuddle with him. I am so thankful to have this sweet little boy in our family and the blessing he is in our lives!

Trying a new do!

The Front!

The Back...so short!!

So for years now I've been wanting to cut my hair I am a big scardy cat when trying new things with my hair. It's I think more of a comfort zone issue with me and my hair. Anyhow so I finally broke down and did it!!! Yes believe it or not! I went to my good friend Rachael that lives close to me down here and she did a great job she cut it exactly what I gave been thinking and visioning for all this time. She is awesome! With all that said now I'm not sure if I like it on me...I am still getting used to how short it is and especially how little my pony tails are now!! I think I like it more each day. :)

Valentines Day!!

My little sweethearts!

Yummy fondue desert!

This Valentines Day we decided to spend it as a family instead of Brandon and I going on a date. So we started the day off with heart shaped poptarts for breakfast. A fun afternoon just playing games as a family. Some beautiful roses from my sweetheart! Then we went to Red Robin for an early dinner then came home and had a yummy fondue desert! Pink marshmallows, bananas, heart shaped rice krispie treats, strawberries, and heart shaped brownies to dip in chocolate! The girls had fun helping me make desert and to top off the night watching the Bachelor (how appropriate right?!). I just love my little family and the happiness they bring to my life each and everyday. I love Brandon he is the love of my life and a perfect husband! I love how Ashlyn is so kindhearted, a great big sister, and how she loves to be the center of attention! I love how Brooklyn is our little spunky sweetheat! She has this silliness about her that will always make you smile. And lastly I just am so in love with our little Parker boy. He is the happiest baby ever, a true blessing in my life. His smile melts my heart everyday! I just love Valentines Day and am glad we had a fun filled family day!

Ice Castles

We decided to randomly go to these really cool ice castles by Park City! We met our friends Doug, Kara, and their kids up there. We had so much fun looking around at the awesomely huge ice castles! Some we could even go through. I think the girls especially like the icicles they ate. :) After the ice castles we ate some yummy pizza at Malawi's Pizza. Thanks for a fun time Kaufmans!

Girls Day! (plus Parker-Boy)

Painting nails

Their darling jelly shoes all ready for spring time!

While daddy's away we will play! So I decided to let the girls tell me what they wanted to do and so this was our day....we ate lunch at mcdonalds and played on the playground. Came home did pedicures and manicure red sparkles for Valentines Day of course! Then they decided they wanted to go shopping. Of course I couldn't refuse! :) So I let them pick out a new dress and jelly shoes to match. They actually picked out cute things!Might I add I just LOVE little girls in jelly shoes! Mommy was so proud of her girls. :) Lastly a chick flick to end the evening, it had to be Legally Blonde! While watching it Brooklyn turns to me says about a girl with a belly shirt on, "I can see her belly mom, she needs an undershirt!" lol I thought it was so cute! Then I had Ashlyn there practicing the "bend and snap" what a perfect day! I just love my girls so much and all the fun we have together! Being a mom and getting to spend all my time with my kiddos is just the perfect way to spend my days! Oh and Parker was such a good little boy coming along for our girls day. :)
