Enjoying the Christmas Season

This year we decided to take the girls to see the lights at temple square. It was pretty cold out, so we only lasted about an hour.


This picture is not that great, but it was the best that I got of them together in their Christmas dresses.


Pailsey was fine with Santa. She just looked at him like when did grandpa grow a beard.


Lily just loved Santa this year. Every time she saw him she was right up close and always wanting to sit on his lap.


Santa picked Lily to be a reindeer when we sang. She was so excited. I got a good video. When I can figure it out I will post it.

Girls Day Out!

For my birthday I got Princess on Ice tickets. Every since Brock took Lily to Disney on Ice, after I had Paisley I have wanted to take Lily. She just looked like she had so much fun. Well I didn't expect Lily to come down with a cold on Tuesday and have the worst of it hit her on Saturday. So it made our trip a little bit interesting. She was pretty miserable. I think that she did have a fun time, but there were times that I know she would have much rather been home in her bed. Our seats were really good. We sat on the second row and could see the Princesses up close. It was really fun and I would totally do it again.

We started off by taking Trax to the Energy Solutions Arena. Then we decided to feed the girls before so that we didn't have to pay the price of the food there.


Grandma did buy them a princess prize while we were there. Which they all loved.


This is just a picture to try to show you how sad her eyes looked.


Mommy and Lily before the show.


A self portrait of us in our seats.


Overall we had a great time. I really enjoyed spending time with Lily. I love her so much and she is growing up so fast. I know that I look back and wonder were the time has gone. I love my little family and I am so thankful for each one of them.

Fun Filled October!

A lot went on in Ocotber. We went camping, went to the Witches Festival at Gardner Village, had two Halloween parties and of course Trick-or-treating.

My two beautiful girls in hunter orange.


Lily and her three favorite cousins from the Worthen side.

Lily thought she was tough enough to pull the wagon with all of our pumpkins. She did a pretty good job considering how heavy it was.


Worthen Halloween Party!


I made Lily sit in a pumpkin her first Halloween. So we did the same to Paisley.


Turner Halloween Party!


My Beautiful Cinderella and Witch.



We had a great Ocotber. Full of fun and excitement.

September!

Maybe one day I will get better at posting. But probably not, so I am going to update for my sake.

September got off to a good start with Brock going to Alaska on a fishing trip with his dad, brother, and Grandpa. He had a great time and caught a 250 lb Halibut. Here are a few pictures from the trip.


Sorry this picture is so small. But I am sure that you get the point.



The only other thing that happened was that Brock passed the Bar. Which is very exciting. We are so proud of him.

Paisley @ 6 Months

I just love that smile. The story behind the outfit is that when Brock gets her dressed he always does something strange. So I decided one night to give her an 80's outfit. I guess she just felt comfortable in it.

weight: 18.3 lbs 85%
height: 27 1/2 inches 97%

We survived our first trip to the ER!

On Tuesday night we went to dinner with some friends. Our kids were playing and having a good time. They were sitting on a rock wall that was about 2 feet tall. Next thing I see is Lily leaning over and missing the wall and falling right on the side of her head. When we got her up, she had blood coming from her ear. I start to panic a little bit, but I tried to keep my cool. Brock would probably say other wise. But I would say I stayed pretty calm. We got her in the car and started to head home. We were at Gardener Village (Sandy), so we had a little drive. I decided to call the doctors office to see what they say I should do. They don't answer, so I plan on just going to the ER. Well after waiting a long time and having a really bad ER experience Lily gots a CT scan of her head that looked fine, and she had not ruptured her ear drum. So we are just glad that she is okay and that there was no major injuries.

Fun Filled July!

Here comes a big post to tell what we did in the month of July. I feel like we have kept really busy. I am hoping that things will start to slow down. But it never seems to.

This first picture is actually from the end of June at the Lehi Parade. I just love that it is with my dad and my grandpa so I had to put it in.


On July 2nd my little brother, or should I say younger brother since he is 6'6", returned home from his mission. We are so excited to have him back. Sorry the picture is not great. There were so many people there to get there missionaries.


Paisley also swam for the first time. She hasn't been able to swim before, because I was trying to get Lily use to swimming with her life jacket.


We took Lily to the 1st Annual Foam Day put on by the Lehi Fire Department. She wasn't a huge fan, but it is definitely something we will do again.


We went camping for the first time. I had to document Paisley's first time camping. And also Lily had her first really 4-wheeler ride. I have not let her go very far until this year.



I just wanted to add how proud I am of Brock. He has spent the last few months studying for the Bar and took it last Tuesday and Wednesday. He studied so hard and missed the girls so much. I love you!
