Mylee is 8!!!!!!!!!

On January 2nd 2002 this beautiful little girl was born and now here we are 8 years later and she is still as perfect and amazing as she was back then. She brought so much happiness into our life's and I cannot imagine life without her happy little self! We had a birthday party for her on her birthday and so many of her friends showed up(15 to be exact) It was a nuthouse! haha. But she had so much fun and it was worth it. Here she is with a few of her friends opening her presents.

Seeing how she wants to be a rock star when she grows up, of course she wanted a guitar cake. I was a little nervous, I had no idea how to make a guitar cake! But thanks to the lovely Internet I found this super easy and cute recipe. The kids loved it. And I must say I am pretty proud of myself, I'm no professional but I think it turned out pretty darn good.

And apparently she thought so too:)

Happy 8th birthday my beautiful Mylee Jade!!!! We love you!!!!!

Our Christmas

We had a fun Christmas, as we always do. Santa came, the girls came jumping on our bed at 7AM sharp screaming, "Santa came, Santa came, Santa came!!!", we dragged ourselves out of bed, let the girls go through their stockings while we waited for Shane's parents to get there, the girls were going nuts waiting, 8AM they showed up and the girls went wild! I didn't get many pictures, but these are the ones we did get.
Avah got a bike and loves it!:)

Mylee finally got her DS and as you can tell, LOVES it!

Riah the horse lover got a big giant horse along with a big giant horse book that is not shown.

My house looked like a tornado hit it and they weren't even done yet!

They loved all of their gifts but this dollhouse from Santa to all the girls was by far their favorite. And ours too! That thing keeps them so entertained! And they all play together so nicely with it.

Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas as well!:)

Family Pictures

I know this is a lot but I am in love with all of them! And I had 250 to choose from so it was hard.....there will be more to come!:)

Doesn't take much to please Avah!

Halloween......better late than never right?

Halloween this year was fun. Shane had to work but we made the best of it:) The girls and I went to Show Low to go trick or treating with Mandy and her kids. They had lots of fun. Mandy was hilarious as usual. Her and Zach were both mad scientists and it was so funny! They had some great costumes. The girls got way to much candy, that still is sitting in the top of the highest cupboard in the kitchen. They get 3 pieces each day. What a mean mom I am! he he. It was a great night though and I'm glad Mandy invited us. Her neighborhood is a mad house on Halloween! It is clearly the place to be that night. Anyway here are some pictures........

And have I mentioned lately how in love I am with my girls?? I LOVE LOVE LOVE being their mommy! I love their smiles, their laughs, the way the see the world, their kindness towards everyone, their love for each other, their tender hearts, their sassyness, their spunkiness, their adorableness, the way they can always make me smile even on the hardest of days, the way they tell me that i am the best momma in the whole world, I love them! I am sooooo incredibly blessed to have these three little girls in my life. Hope everyone had a happy halloween!:)
