SWEET PRINCESS

I went to Old Navy today and just had Nikell with me. The lady that was helping me check out thought Nikell was so cute and told me about a contest Old Navy is doing. She told me to take a picture of her with the modelquins that they have in the store and if she gets a bunch of votes she could win. SO.... Vote for Nikell!!

I changed the link so that it goes straight to her picture so you don't have to spend time looking for her. THANKS!! You can vote everyday until March 3rd.

POOR ATEMPT

Before we headed out for church on Valentines Day I wanted to try to get some pictures of the girls. I don't feel like I have very many pictures of the girls together. (now I know why)

I have decided that it really isn't a good idea for me to try so hard to get pictures of my girls posing how I want and smiling. I get so frustrated and then they get frustrated and it just doesn't turn out to be a fun experience for anyone. So pretty much what I'm saying is to get a few good pictures was NOT easy.
To be honest though I actually think I like the silly ones best and when I look at them now it makes me laugh at how silly my girls are and that I don't need to worry so much about the smiling and posing pictures when the candid, silly ones are the ones that show their personality most.


brooklyn's look in this picture tells it all.

VALENTINES PARTY

On Saturday Misty and Lorilee's husbands were on a campout so we put together a little Valentines party for the kids. These are just a few pictures I took.

We hid hearts with candy in them and before the kids went looking for them we discovered Nikell in the other room, she had found a handful of the hearts that were hidden and was snarfing down the chocolate that was inside.

LOVE

When I was younger Valentines was not a holiday I liked very much. Now that I am older I appreciate the holiday a lot more. I love that I get an excuse to tell all my loved ones that I love them without sounding cheesy.=) I feel so blessed to have so many people in my life that I love and who love me. Just wanted to wish you all a Happy Valentines Day! I hope it's a good one! xoxoxo

PACKAGE FROM GRANDMA

Nikell got a package in the mail from Grandma Chris yesterday. She was so excited to open up it and was even more excited to see the fun stuff inside! Thanks mom the first thing she said when she opened it was "mommy, I wuv it"!

TWO YEARS OLD!

Our baby turned two on Monday and I can't believe it. Little Nikell has been such a sweet baby and I am a little sad that she is turning into a big girl now. I was sick last week and didn't really feel up to planning a party so the day of her Birthday came and we decided to go to chuckecheese last minute. Misty and Ryan came and joined us for the fun. Nikell had a really fun time and she loved the Cinderella plates, cups and cake that we got her. She loves princesses, especially "Cimberella" (thats how she says it). We love our little Nikki so much. she is such a little delicate thing and we love her hugs and her sweet little personality.

Toby's mom came into town for Nikell's Birthday. She is so great about coming out often to see the girls, especially on their Birthday's! We love her and are so happy she came!
Brooklyn was having a hard time because her nose had been running all day and it started really hurting her upper lip.
They are best friends and we love it!




Make a wish!
