I already know, so you don't have to say it. I have been quite the slacker when it comes to updating our blog. Not by choice. I know I say it a lot, but I have had no time. Between Primary, being a wife and mother, work, and putting together a wedding, I have been a little busy. So, here are the important events that have happened in the last 5 months. The only event I won't be posting is Lindy's wedding. I am still waiting for pictures from my mom. So, here it goes.
***Allie is TWO!***
That's right, my little girl is 2 years old. She turned two on March 4th and we had a birthday party for her at our home.
It was so much fun. Allie is the perfect kids to buy presents for. With every gift she opened she would have this excited gasp followed by a "Thank you so much" or "How cute". She did it with every single gift. After she was done opening gifts, she placed with each one over and over again. She had to make sure she took time to enjoy each individual gift. There are many things I love about her, but since she is two I will list two things I love about Allie:
1. She always brings a smile to my face. It's true. It doesn't matter what type of day I had at work. The moment I walk through our front door I know I will get the best greeting. Or, if I am having a low self esteem day, she seems to know because she will come up to me and start playing with my hair and say "Mommy so beautiful". It's great.
2. She is a genious. I know all parents think their kid is the brightest around, but I have to disagree with them. My daughter is so bright. I don't know where she gets it from. She has been able to have full conversations since 18 months. Not just coming up and saying "cookie" or "juice". It's always, "Mommy, I would like some juice please". The other day we had the misionaries over and all of a sudden we all got quiet because we heard Allie singing a song. She was singing "I Am A Child of God". It was the cutest thing ever. I love my little girl.
*** Our 4 Year Anniversary***
Richie and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary on March 13th. We didn't get to do much, but it was at least good to spend some time together. I took the day off of work and we just hung out. That's what happens when you work, it falls in the middle of the week, and you have a kid. We are going to try and do something fun for our 5th. Sorry, but no pictures.
***Easter***
We had a quiet Easter this year. We had the typical Easter baskets and went to church. I was able to get pictures of Allie in her Easter dress. She is too cute.
She is very photogenic!
***Had my First Primary Activity***
My Presidency and I put together our first primary activity and it was a hit. Since the ward split, we decided to do a "Meet the Bishopric" night. We had dinner with the bishopric and then played games with them. The kids loved it. Everyone wanted to sit by bishop, or be on bishop's team. There were some kids at the activity who ditched their baseball games because they told their mom that they wanted to have dinner with the bishop. It was a lot of fun. In the mix of things I forgot to take pictures of everything. We did get a picture of the bishopric with al of the kids. So, this is my Primary:
***Said Goodbye to Friends***
We had to say goodbye to some good friends of ours. Brandon got shipped to Korea in the air force so his wife Tiffany and daughter Addison moved to Utah to live with her folks while he is gone. We really miss them. Things aren't quite the same now that the've left. One of the hardest things is that Allie always asks "Where's Addison? Where's Tiffany? Where's Uncle Brandon?" I don't have any pictures of us with them because I haven't gotten them from my sister-in-law yet, but I do have pictures of Allie and Addie.
***Lindy's Wedding***
Lindy is married. It was a great day, and everything turned out perfectly. The cake was beautiful, the tables were awesome, the flowers lasted, and the stream worked. Yes, it was a beautiful wedding, and I had a fun time doing it, but I am so glad it's over. I think I worked just as hard at this wedding as I did my own. I don't have pictures yet, but I will get them. I am actually in the process of putting together my own wedding blog to market my wedding services. I do flowers, invitations, cakes, food, just about everything except the pictures and video. After this wedding I realized that I shouldn't be wasting my talent. This is something that I have always enjoyed doing and I want to do more of. So, I will keep you informed about the site and my services.
***Fun Stuff***
That's just about everything that has gone on in our life since February. Nothing else realy exciting to tell. These final pictures are just ones that I thought were too cute to not post. I even included a video of Allie's first swim of the summer. Enjoy! Until next time.
She loves her puppies!
Such a character!
