Four

Can't believe it! Lyvi turned four years old and this is how we celebrated her special day... It started with a chocolate donut with sprinkles of course and opened up some presents before dad left for work. Got dressed for school and took her and sister on a quick ride in her new (to her) car.  

 After school we went shopping with her birthday money and ate lunch at Chick Fil'a.

When Justin got home from work we headed to "The Sugar Bowl" for dessert. I knew she would love "The Sugar Bowl" the place is covered in pink and Lyvi is obsessed with pink and ice cream.

  

The day before her birthday we had a small birthday party. Granna made her a barbie cake that she adored. 

They don't get much sweeter then Lyvi. She is a GREAT big sister! She is always comforting June when ever she's upset, at times June would rather have Lyvi comfort her then me. At times she can be sassy but for some reason she saves her sassy-ness for me only. She loves to learn, go to school, and primary. 

 We love ya Lyv!

*something I want to remember about Lyvi: "Mom I wish I could have homework? Maybe for my birthday!"    So for her birthday I picked up some homework books from the dollar store. Lets just say when she opened them up her reaction was bigger then when we surprised her with the princess jeep. She is for sure Justin's child!

Ruby's sealing

Today Tyler and Bekah were sealed to Ruby. It felt amazing to finally see this cute family be sealed for time and all eternity. Congratulation you guys! We're extremely happy for you!

June 18mo. & 5 year anniversary

June turned 18mo. February 29th, She has had her fair share of ear infections. We decided it was time for ear tubes. Poor June had to fast, thank-goodness her surgery was at 9am. She did great! She went straight to the nurse without crying, which I was happy about I might have lost it too. The surgery was shockingly fast, 10 min if that. The nurses warned me that she would have a hard time coming out of the anesthesia and she did.

 When we got home she ate some crackers and water and was back to her normal self within minutes. 

Of course 18mo. is known for one thing NURSERY! June walked right in without any hesitation. She has always been a social baby never really went through a "stranger danger" stage. She's happy where ever she's at. June's happiest when she's eating, so happy that she dances while she eats. She is truly the sweetest little girl but little sister also has a temper and makes sure to let you know when she is upset with you, size doesn't matter to her believe me! June brings so much joy and laughter to our family. We cant get enough of her!   Here is her first day of nursery picture. Looks more like a mug shot to me but whatever.

She loves to have her picture taken. I love her in red, she reminds me of "Annie."

Justin and I celebrated our 5th wedding Anniversary. We started the day with breakfast at "T.C Eggington's," our favorite. Jacob and Lexi babysat while we went to red lobster, saw the movie "The Vow" and ended the night with frozen yogurt. I am such a lucky girl to have such a wonderful hard working husband who is constantly making me laugh. He is an amazing dad to Lyvi and June. I could not ask for a better husband. Its been a GREAT 5 years! Looking forward to years to come.

Our Girls trip to Disneyland

My oldest niece Brooke who is 6 and her sister Cami who is 3 had never been to Disneyland. We decided to take a "Girls ONLY trip" and spend the weekend in California. Karen's friend was kind enough to let us borrow her condo in San Diego. We left Friday afternoon and got to San Diego right in time for bed. We woke up the next morning at 5:45am so we could be at Disneyland right when it opened. We got to the park right at 9:00am to find out they aren't opening the gates due to a bomb threat. We couldn't believe it. We sat out front for an hour waiting and hoping they would open the gates. We decided to eat lunch and let the girls play at Chickfila while we wait to see if they open the gates. I think the adults were more depressed then the little girls. They were just thrilled to be together. While at Chickfila I called Justin to tell him  the bad news. He called Disneyland to complain to whoever would listen. When someone finally answered the phone they told him they had opened the gates. Us girls couldn't believe it!!! We jumped in the car and headed back to Disneyland. When we first got there we started with the snowwhite ride. Lyvi was GRUMPY she didn't want to ride any of the rides. I was the mom who was forcing her kid to go on a ride while she was kicking and screaming NO! She was for sure sleep deprived.

 She was happy to go on the "Tea cups" its her favorite.

 Time for the parade. 

 Which means princesses!! Who Lyvi adores! The smile finally came out...

 Lyvi did go on some big rides only if I covered her eyes. She fell asleep while waiting in line for the Pirates of the Caribbean and slept for the entire ride. She needed that power nap. 

 Teacups again! 

 The girls were all such troopers and stayed out till almost midnight. It started out as a terrible day and ended up being a trip we wont forget!

Sunday we slept in till 8:30! it felt great. We then ate breakfast at Panera. yum. Then made the long drive back home. Hey sister's, lets make this a annual thing! what do you say? 

It was a blast!

 While we were away Justin and June went to church on Sunday and then had dinner at his Mom's. When Bekah gave Justin a heads up that June's Dress had been on backwards.... the whole day including through Stake Conference.

 Hey, at least he put a bow on her. Proud wife moment.
