A Princess and a Party

Last Friday was Lizzie's Birthday but we didn't celebrate it until Saturday. It was funny because her dad called her and sang to her on Friday she was so convinced that it wasn't her Birthday that she actually cried when he sang to her. Saturday however she was ready for her Birthday and we partied all day long. Princesses and dinosaurs what more could a little girl want? We had lots of visitors and lots of fun, I can't believe how fast she is growing up!

I'm so glad when Daddy comes home

We had a busy week last week playing with our dad and cousins. Brian finally came home last Friday for a short time. Saturday we celebrated my mom's birthday with good food and presents. He left again for Philadelphia on Sunday to take his test, and don't get me started on my issues with Delta airlines, but he finally made it home Tuesday. Wednesday through Saturday we got to spend some time up at Papa Snow's cabin. Friday all the cousins came up for some fun and family pictures and to celebrate Sue's and Lizzie's birthday! Sadly Brian left us again for San Antonio but we are down to three more weeks then he comes home for a while.


Bathing with cousin Robbie!

Singing in the rain!

Gearing up for a good hike, she insisted that she needed a rope to help her climb the mountain.

We tried to get to mirror lake but ended up settling for the Bear River just in time before the big rain storm.

Getting ready to blow out her candles!

Opening presents with the cousins it was a full house we had 11 cousins there 7 of them were 2 and under. Look at her new coat and matching hat Grandma Millie gave her they are so cute!

Even Charlie enjoyed a little wrapping paper.

It's going to be a fun Autumn, Lizzie loves playing in the leaves and raking them up!

Cute friends reading together before nap time!

I was trying to get a good picture of her great hair. It's not really getting any thicker just longer it's quite funny really!

Summer time and the Livin' is easy . . .

I can't believe Summer is practically over, we have been busy having a lot of fun. Brian is coming home tomorrow and we get to spend a few days with him before he takes off again. We are so excited for a UT Autumn and Lizzie has already started her leaf collection. Yes, I still haven't figured out this computer all of the way so these pictures are once again random, but you'll get the idea.


Lizzie was doing a little bird watching with her bird book. I think I have a lot of pictures of her in these pj's, hmm.

Happy Birthday Papa, Sunday the 6Th we had a lot of fun celebrating Papa Scott's Birthday. We had cake and ice cream, presents and good food. What more could you want on your birthday? We Love You Papa!

Lizzie has really been into coloring lately and I can't believe how good she is getting, we have a lot of fun coloring together. Although every picture lately has pretty much been with her eyes closed, go figure.

We had a lot of fun at the Dino park with our cousins Nate, Sam, and Ben. It is really fun to have family so close we really don't get together enough. Lizzie just followed them around and kept them in line she is quite the boss.

Nate and Lizzie couldn't get over the size of these dinosaurs neither one really wanted to turn their back on it.

Lizzie had her first day of preschool (or peeschool as she calls it) today, she got a little nervous at home thinking about it but once we got there she just marched right in and sat down. I do have to say that she was the smallest kid there.

Erika, Alex and I threw Megan a baby shower and it was a lot of fun. She ended up with some great things and it was nice to have a little girl time. We are sad that they are moving away from us so soon, but we can't wait to see that baby Bella!

Everyone in this picture will be so excited that I put it on my blog. I had to show off all the cute ladies at the shower.

Our neighbors had some pony rides the other day and Lizzie was convinced that she needed a pink cowboy hat in order to ride the pony. Well consequently she was the hit of the party and she even got to ride the pony all the way home, she LOVED it.
