Yes, we are still alive

Wow! It has been a while since we have updated. Here is a little of what has been going on. Addie has started a dance class and loves it. I can not believe that I have a little girl that is big enough to be going to a dance class. It has been so fun to see her grow and understand so much. We thought that a dance class would be fitting for our little princess that loves dresses and anything girly!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADDISON! Addie just turned 3! I know that every parent thinks this, but we can not believe how fast time flies and how fast our sweet angel has grown up. I started asking Addie a few weeks ago what she would like for her birthday and the only thing that she wanted was a princess tea party. I continued to think that she would forget about it and we could do a simple family birthday party, every time I asked she continued to say that she wanted a princess tea party. We decided to do a little party. It was the cutest party ever. Addie had 6 good friends and cousins come over all dressed up from head to toe. We had a tea party with water, made princess crowns and had pink cupcakes... every little girls dream.

Addie had the best birthday ever. After all of the craziness wore off I asked her if she had fun and she replied "Mommy, it was just what I wanted!" Comments like that make all of the hard work worth it to make your little girl happy. The fun didn't end there... Dad decided that Addie should have a bike. You can never start them too early, right? I really was not quite sure if she would be able to handle a big bike...Boy was I wrong. She absolutely loves it. The picture is worth a million words.
Here is a cute picture of Elle, this is her famous grandpa face. She just turned 6 months, some of her favorite things are to roll all over and get into trouble, she loves fruit, gags at peas (I think it is so funny), she loves me to hold her, and is starting to sit up on her own, ohh and did I mention she loves me to hold her! She requires a lot of attention, but is so much fun.

The reason that we have disappeared off of the earth is that we decided to continue school. We are taking a calculus class that to put it simple IT IS KICKING OUR BUTTS! I am going crazy with the girls during the day and at night after the girls are down we are usually doing homework for 3 to 4 hours a night. So we don't usually have time for anything extra... we haven't even watched any of the new episodes of Office or Biggest Loser, that definitely means we are very busy around here!

Anniversary

Happy Anniversary! We just had our 7 anniversary, I know 7 can you believe it! It has been 7 wonderful years that I have been married to my best friend. I just wanted to tell Jeremy how much I love him. He is such a great father and husband. He is a very hard worker and would do anything for anyone especially his family. I love absolutely everything about him from his beautiful smile, to his determination all the way down to his the quirky things he does like picky his toe nails!!! I am so grateful for him and what a blessing he has been to me and our family. I am grateful that he honors the priesthood. I can honestly say that it was the best and easiest decision of my life. I love you!

It was my turn to arrange our anniversary. We were going to go to St. George and we decided it would be better to stay in town, trying to be financially smart...I know boring. We went to Body Worlds, I would highly recommend it to everyone. It was absolutely amazing. It is intriguing to see how incredible the human body is. We went to Ruth's Chris for dinner, it is also amazing. If dinner could be art and delicious too, then this is the place. I loved it, it is the best steak ever! It was nice to sit down and have adult conversation and eat at a slow pace and not shovel in food to hurry to keep kids happy. Thank you to my Mom for watching the girls over night, it was a well needed break.
