Adyson's Rainbow Dash Partay!


 As I said in a previous post... Adyson decided she wanted a Rainbow Dash party shortly before her b-day arrived and so here is what I cam up with :)

The Outfit...


The Cake...









The Decor...





 The Eating Pizza with friends :) ...







 




The Pinata...















 The Singing... (Including Adyson singing to herself which I thought was adorable :)






 The Presents... including presents for McKenna and Reagan.  Arkansas sure knows how to spoil our girls!  Also, we have become close with our builder and his wife and 2 boys.  I had told her how much I wanted the Little People Nativity set but I didn't want to spend the money.  Well... she called around to a ton of toy stores and drove far away and got it for "Adyson."  ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!  I just about died!  Who does that?  They COULD not be any nicer!!










The Playing...



 The HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY birthday girl!!!...

When we moved here I didn't think we were going to have anyone to invite to a party!  We are sooooo blessed to already have made some great friends here in AR!  Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate our Booga Bear's 3rd Birthday!!!

Adyson's Birthday Day!


On Adyson's actual birthday I tried to make it as special as possible!  

We went to Larry's Pizza.  Oh Larry's Pizza.  Right when we moved here the first place we heard about was Larry's!  It's like a peter piper pizza with an amazing buffet.  Except it is also super clean and Larry... THEE nicest guy ever!  He made sure the girls were loaded with tokens to play games and was so nice!  It was very fun!

We then went home to have a pinky pie cake and open some presents before Daddy went into work for the night! 









 Adyson was spoiled by all!  Chris gave her a soccer ball/goal, McKenna gave her a build a bear set with princess outfits, I gave her a rainbow dash outfit for her party, and Reags gave her some new sparkle shoes to replace her old ones!






 We later skyped Grandma and Grandpa and Nana and Papa and opened their gifts as well!  Happy Birthday Adyson!!!!

Counting my Blessings!


A big thanks to my amazingly talented Dad for all these pics!  The girls sure love their Grandpa!  Thanks Dad!  We love you!

Have I said lately how much I LOVE all of my babies?  Seriously... I cannot believe this life is really mine.  The other day I was in the kitchen cooking dinner and I just stopped and was in awe of how blessed I am!  I was cooking in a beautiful kitchen of a beautiful house looking out the window at these three beautiful babies who were all three swinging on the swing set giggling and grinning ear to ear and my amazing doctor husband was pushing them.  Really????????  People only dream about such an amazing life and I know my Heavenly Father has blessed me more than I could have ever hoped for.  I'm so grateful!!!!!!


McKenna - 4.5 years!


McKenna was 4.5 on August 17!

My baby girl is turning into such a little lady!


A little about McKenna at 4.5...

  • She loves to help her mommy!  Her favorite jobs are putting the clothes on hangers, (Which I DESPISE doing :) ) Setting the table, and "babysitting" her little sisters!
  • When I leave the room she will say "Mom am I babysitting?"  I of course say yes and she takes the job very seriously!
  • She is the best at making Reagan laugh!  
  • She is still a little social butterfly and just dies if she finds out that we are just staying home for the day and not doing anything outside with other people!
  • She loves my little pony, barbies, and lalaloopsy!
  • If she gets hurt... oh man... she is one heck of a drama queen!  She wants the red carpet and the wheel chair rolled out for her :)  She recently got over her fear of band aids... she used to be terrified of them.
  • She grinds her teeth at night... it's TERRIBLE!
  • She has had a big appetite lately and she's getting a little better about trying new foods!  Her faves are spaghetti, green beans, and toast!  Her toast has to be with crunchy peanut butter, strawberry jam, and without crust... picky little stinker
  • She always wants to know what she did when she was little and when she was a baby.
  • She says all the time "mom when I get big and leave you, you will miss me won't you." Of course the answer is always yes.  She then says she will come back and visit me!
  • She is worried she is going to get too big to get sung to at night but I always reassure her she will never be too big for it!  She still has a really hard time going to sleep if I'm not there to sing hush little baby to her.
  • She does a booty dance... I have no idea where she learned it but it is pretty darn funny!






I love my sweet little McKenna and I'm so glad she is mine for eternity!  I love you baby girl!!!

Adyson - 3 Years!


Adyson Isabelle turned 3 on August 12th!


For MONTHS she had been talking about how she wanted a ladybug party... and I mean months!  Then we went to Utah and her cousin Kylie had a pony party and as soon as we got home from the party she informed me that she no longer wanted a ladybug party and she definitely wanted a pony party... OK... good thing I hadn't had time to start it yet so a pony party she got!

I can't believe my little baby Adyson is 3!  

A little about Adyson at 3...

  • She still LOVES to be snuggled.  All day long she says "Momma will you hold me?"  Of course I LOVE this, but I also have 2 other kids and lots to do so I unfortunately don't get to hold her ALL day long.
  • She still loves to pretend she's a puppy dog!  She just crawls behind me barking and panting with her tongue out and only will do stuff if I call her puppy!
  • No longer naps
  • No longer had a binky
  • Loves to swing on her swingset!
  • Loves My Little Pony!!
  • Loves her blanky and has also adopted another blanky.  A smurf blanky from my childhood that we accidently took from my parents when she puked all over hers on a car ride from CO to UT!  Now she is addicted to it!
  • She is usually a pretty good eater!  She loves fruit, spaghetti, orange juice, noot (fruit) snacks, but her favorite is STILL cold cereal!
  • She loves being a big sister to Reagan and to hold her and make her laugh
  • She is always my girly girly girl and has heels and dress up clothes on!
  • She has definitely hit the "terrible 3's"... at least that's what I believe it is.  The girl can switch moods in 1 second flat from being as sweet as honey to throwing a massive fit throwing herself on the ground.  All over something like... she wanted the green cup or something.  
  • She now puts her own seat belt on which she is very proud of!
  • When she is disapointed she does this thing where she lowers her head and her shoulders and mopes off... it is hilarious actually.
  • She says "ya" the FUNNIEST way that I don't think I can write it.  It is something like "Ya-ah" with attitude!
  • She is such a little sweety pie.  She will walk up and give me kisses and hugs all the time and she says "Love you momma!"  Melts my heart every time!






She is SOOO excited to be 3 and we love our little princess to pieces!  Never ever forget you are my baby Adyson!!!  LOVE YOU!

Reagan - 6 Months!


My sweet little Reagy Pie had her first half birthday on July 31st! 


I cannot believe this baby is already 6 months old!!!!


A little about Reagan-

  • She is seriously the easiest baby EVER!  She is just fine sitting around and she lets me lug her around on any errands and she is sooo good!
  • She rolled over for the first time when we were in Minnesota for Kristina's wedding and after that she became a rolling machine!!!
  • She is also a slobber machine... she always has slobber all over her.  I'm guessing because of teething but so far no teeth.  Thank heavens for that!
  • Just like my other 2... she has started only nursing on one side so I will now be lopsided for the next 6 months... don't look too close because yes, it is noticeable!!
  • She has wanted solids for SO long!  She has been a little grabby mcgrabster with all of our food.  I REALLY like to wait until 6 months but I actually gave in about a week before and she loves her solids!  I skipped cereal and went straight to the fruits and veggies and she loves all of them so far!  Her favorite is bananas!
  • She loves to swing on the baby swing I got her!
  • She loves attention!  Poor girl... she has to be patient a lot being the third child!  When someone will sit down and play with her she just loves it!
  • She loves her sisters!  Whenever they walk into the room she kicks her legs and flares her arms and goes crazy!
  • She loves her blanky!
  • She has started taking off her bows and headbands... this is completely unacceptable in our house and this is the first thing that I'm having to say "no no no" about :)
  • She still loves Chris!
  • Right before 6 months she started being able to sit up some and now she is a pro at it!
  • She is still nursing every 3 hours... including in the night (who needs sleep right??!)
  • She is SUCH a happy baby and we absolutely love her to pieces!!!




 First time eating solids...!  (My darn flash is broken so my pics are super crappy)




 On her actual Half Birthday!!!!...









 We LOVE our little Reagan!!!!
