Skyla's first dance competition

Skyla had her first dance recital with "Utah Dance Academy." It was "Dance Spectacular." The girls were so cute, they danced to "Me and My Teddy Bear," with their teddy bears of course. There was a little music problem, so at first they just had to stand there waiting. Then once the music worked, they did such a good job! I was so proud, I started crying while she was dancing!

Princess Skyla turns 4!

For Skyla's birthday, we had a princess party.

All of Skyla's friends were invited and told to wear their princess dresses to the ball.

Then when they got here, they were greated by all the princesses! Cinderella (Me), Sleeping beauty (Mary), Tinkerbell (Sarah), Ariel (Shelly), Snow White (Jill), Jasmine (Jami), Belle (Brandy), and the 3 fairies from Sleeping Beauty (Mom, LeAnn, and Grandma) were there to help the guest princesses get ready for the royal ball.

It was so fun! We helped them put on their makeup, paint their fingernails, put glitter in their hair, decorate crowns, and then we played a game before the ball. At the ball, each princess was announced and then got to eat cake while they played.

Skyla was spoiled with sooo many cute gifts from her friends and family members. Thanks to everyone who helped out with this! Happy birthday Skyla baby!

Easter!!

Easter was so much fun this year! This was after our easter egg hunt at Grandma Willson's. It was fun putting the eggs together with the candy and prizes, then hiding all the eggs and sending them on a scavenger hunt. Then of course, I helped them eat their candy too.

This is a picture of my little angels in their Easter dresses! Aren't they the cutest little stinkers ever?!

We saw the Easter Bunny at Lee's market place, and this time Taytem and Skyla weren't too scared to take a picture. "Cheese," well sort of.

And this is my little Easter Bunnies at our house, they wore the Easter bunny ears all day! It was a great Easter, and we are always grateful for each Easter and the true meaning behind the holiday!

Valentine's Day pictures

We went down to Jill's house a few days before Valentines Day to take some pictures of the girls for presents for family. These are a few of my favorites! Beware, picture overload, but they're worth it! Oh, Skyla and Taytem are so cute!

I cut my hair!

I did it!! I chopped my hair off. Sarah, my cousin, helped me. We pulled the back into two braids, then "SNIP!" Sarah said it was 11 inches braided, so I'm going to claim that I cut off a whole foot! I love my short hair! But I really feel like a spaz when I'm trying to blow-dry it. I'm not sure that I've really figured out how to do it, but I'll get it someday. My neck gets a little cold though now sometimes.

Reggie's Christmas Beard

This was Reggie's first Christmas beard. He started growing it the day after Thanksgiving, and it was full by the first of December. I thought that I was going to hate it, but I really didn't. I do like his smile much better without in though! He kept it til right after Christmas, this pic was taken the last day he had it. Shane's never came in too full.

Christmas 2008

Christmas was sooo fun! The girls were both so excited to find out that Santa Clause had come to our house! They were such good girls, they were spoiled like crazy!! Skyla got a "Little Peoples" Castle, with prince and princess. She plays with it everytime she plays with any toys, and somehow finds a way to take little pieces of it with her when we go places. Taytem got a "Baby"with a swing and highchair and diaper bag and etc. (stuff to take care of her baby). She loves it, but still wants someone to play with her and show her how to do eveything with it, everytime. Reggie got a lump of coal! j/k His real present came after christmas, a new phone and a new ipod. I got a new set of pans! My first really nice set of pans! Now I don't burn food, j/k. I still burn stuff, but not as often. And Reggie picked out 2 new pairs of shoes for me. He did really good, I love them! We got lots of great presents from our family and our great neighbors and friends. We truely are spoiled with blessings!
