On the Move

River has discovered the joys of mobility. The other day I discovered her trying to escape up the stairs.  Of course I had to take pictures to document the event (after making sure that she was safe, of course).

She also loves exploring both inside and outside.  As long as she can keep wiggling, she keeps smiling.

Cinderella

MayLynn's favorite Disney Princess is Cinderella. So when the new Cinderella movie came out we decided to take the kids to the movie. Owen seemed glad that he got to the movie (although he seemed to think that it was a little bit too girly :) and River was wiggly and I had to walk the isle with her, but MayLynn was very, VERY happy.

After the movie was over, we got a picture of our little princess with the movie poster and I got a few pictures of my family as we left the movie theater.  One of my favorite moments of the night was when MayLynn insisted on taking Owen's arm as we were leaving.  A few passers by thought that it was cute that MayLynn had dressed up and commented so. MayLynn's response was classic. She said, "I am Cinderella and this is the Prince, Owen." I love my little princess!

MayLynn's 3rd Birthday

This little cutie turned 3 this week.  Since her favorite thing right now is pretending to be a princess, she got to be a princess for her birthday.  She dressed up in her Cinderella dress for a couple of days, we made her a princess birthday cake, and she even got a princess balloon.

On Saturday we had family come for her birthday party.  Aunt Emily came up from Snow College, Uncle Danny, Aunt Aleena, and cousins Memphis and Kayzee came up from Lehi, and Aunt Laurie, Uncle John, Cousin Emma, and Grandma Allen came up from Kaysville to help us celebrate MayLynn.

And to top it all off, they helped us spoil our little girl and help her feel like she is a special princess.

New Bed

Bryce and I have been married for a little over 10 years now, and we finally decided that since we were getting a new bed, that we would upgrade to a King sized bed.  We found a bed that we both agreed on, ordered it, and then went shopping for new bedding to go with a new bed.  Now the bed has arrived and here it is - all pretty, soft, and bringing smiles to our family already.

p.s. We ended up changing mattresses a couple months later since the spring bed didn't seem to get along with my back - so now we have a memory foam bed, and it seems to be working better for both of us.
