NEW HOUSE!!!!

I can finally post this cause we closed on our house yesterday! I'm so excited. It makes the move to Utah pretty official now :). What I'm most excited about is that this is the house we will be living in for a long time. No more moving every 2 years of sooner. My girls will most likely grow up here. We are doing A LOT of remodeling. Jeremy is going to be super busy. I've already taken before pictures and can't wait to be done to post the after pictures. We are first starting in the kitchen. Cabinets are getting painted, ceiling being lifted, can lights being installed, paint, new counter tops, new flooring, a small wall being taken out, and new light fixtures! Good thing I married a man who is amazing when it comes to construction. This picture is of some of the insulation that came out of the ceiling (Jer has bagged 18 huge bags and there is still lots left!) We have a month to get the whole house done wish us luck :).

Taylor's New Obsession

INFOMERCIALS! She loves these things. It's usually stuff for me that she freaks out about. For example if one is on she yells for me to hurry and come see, once I'm down there she says "mom look do you love it? It's only 10 bucks, you want it? She then goes on to tell me all the cool features it has. Here's a few that she thinks I could use.

1. Pajama pants -I mean who wouldn't love these

2. A needle that is easy to thread - I guess that's a clue that I should learn how to sew.

3. A indestructible wallet - She tells me when I drop it things won't fly out everywhere.

4. Shoe organizer - This one she just loves and says we really really need it because we can put everything in it!

I'm not kidding when I say she talks to me about these things for 5 minutes trying to get me to buy them. I think I have a little shopper on my hands :). That or she wants her mom to be a little bit more organized.....hmmm I think I'll go with shopper!

Ring around the rosie

Taylor's 5th Birthday!

I can't believe I have a 5 year old. I'm not going to lie I'm in denial and I will most definitely be one of those parents whose bawling as they send their kid to school. Taylor has been counting down to her birthday since her birthday ended last year. She was so excited! Taylor is truly the sweetest girl ever. She has a heart of gold and is so helpful to me. I don't know what I would do without her. She is super smart and loves to figure things out. Tay is so good to her sisters and is always willing to share with them even when she doesn't want to. We love her so much!

She loved all her presents especially anything to do with horses.

Pictures are kinda backwards but here she is blowing out her candles.
Oh Raigen decided to ride on Tay's horse with the cowgirl hat. Too funny. (don't mind my pile of shoes.....I'll be picking those up sometime)
This is the best picture I could get of all three girls. Raigen's face is too funny.
Taylor with her friends from school. These girls were so fun to watch play together. Just hearing their conversations was entertaining enough.

Here's a rundown of today. Woke up opened presents. Taylor requested her favorite cereal for breakfast (corn pops), you then went to school and had so much fun there, for lunch you wanted chicken nuggets, your friends came over and played, we ate your favorite dinner (haystacks), and then we went swimming. Dad took you down the big water slide lots and lots. You played with your little friends Alyssa and Bella. I asked you how you liked your birthday and you said "it's perfect." We love you Taylor!

We had quite the time swimming! First got there and Sadie decided to jump over to the lazy river and the life guard saved her. Then Andrea had to jump in fully dressed and prego to save her little Laynie, then at the end Sadie almost drowned again but Jeremy was there to save her that time. Pretty sure the last one traumatized Sadie. She is sleeping in our bed having nightmares as we speak. Poor thing. It only takes a second. Other than that we had a great time! Sadie loved going down the waterslide with Jer too. So we are officially done with birthdays for awhile around here. Now onto other fun and exciting stuff :). Pictures to come later!

Sadie's 3rd Birthday

Can't believe Sadie is 3 already! I just love her and her fun personality. There is definitely just one Sadie. She is a stubborn and independent little girl but at the same time she is one of the silliest kids around. She LOVES macaroni and cheese and fishies and would eat it them for every meal. Sadie is changing her clothes constantly and is a little fashionista. She will not wear anything except skirts and tights. It's cute :).

Here she is opening a card from all of us. Taylor was so excited to give it to her.
Opening presents and let me just tell you she loved everything!
This is her bday outfit. And that face is a typical Sadie face.
Her little bday party with some friends around the neighborhood. She loves having her friends over!
We went to Mcdonalds for dinner of course Sadie's choice. They were playing then all of a sudden Sadie comes up to me and says "mom you think my skirt is pretty" I say "yes Sadie it's sooo pretty" Sadie than replies "that mean boy over there said it's not." She then ran off and pointed out the mean boy and I'm sure she ran over and told him that her skirt IS pretty. Lol. Afterwards we came home and blew out birthday candles and watched Beauty and the Beast. We sure do love you Sadie! Happy Birthday cute girl!
