Happy Birthday Pinkalicious Eliza

Eliza requested a pinkalicious birthday party so that is what she got. 

Some decorations

The birthday girls special birthday chair

Eliza had been begging for a dollhouse for her birthday and so Miss Eliza got it for her birthday.

We always have doughnuts for the kids birthday breakfast

Eliza was so excited when she found her birthday present all set up and waiting for her to play with on her birthday.

Pinkalicious cupcakes and cookies

For her birthday she requested to go swimming at Grandma's pool and out to dinner at McDonalds. We invited our cousins and many were able to join us for the fun. Then we headed back to our house for pink cupcakes and ice cream.

She was spoiled with art supplies, doll clothes, clothes, nailpolish and lipgloss, candy and money

I think she loved having many of her cousins there and having the attention on her.

Happy 5th Birthday Eliza. 

BYU Game

Mike was lucky enough to get six free BYU football tickets from someone who wasn't going to be able to use them so he took Ty and Eliza and his friend Colin and his two kids Macauley and Brooks. 

Christmas Lights

Since we have gotten into our house I was excited to be able to have Christmas lights on our house. Even though Mike was really not happy about climbing the ladder to put them up (he is scared of heights) he still did it for me. I told him he needed to test out his new ladder somehow. He said, "Good thing I love you so much." Even though he wasn't happy with me for making him put the lights up I am really grateful he did it in spite of his fears. Looking at the lights lit up on our house made me really happy.  I love it so much. Thanks honey!

Aquarium

We scored some free tickets to the Draper Aquarium so we invited our cousins and friends and went and spent the night at the aquarium. The kids really enjoyed it.

Happy Birthday Mike

We had fun celebrating Mike's birthday this year. One of Mike's favorite things is the all you can eat shrimp at Red Lobster so about a week before his birthday I took him out to eat at Red Lobster. Then the night before his birthday Marci watched the kids while we went to Red Robin and a movie. On his birthday we took the kids to Home Depot for their kids workshop. We got his free sandwich as Firehouse (another of his favorite places to eat) and then went home to make chili for the ward chili cookoff that night which we attending. After the chili cookoff we came home and had cake and ice cream and sang Happy Birthday. We love you!

I just wanted to do a little update on Megan. She is so much fun and her personality is just shining through.

Megan is started to say more and more words everyday including

milk
eat

please and thank you (whenever Ty gets her something he makes her say please and thank you to him)
treat

These are just some of her words as her speaking is expanding everyday.

-When she really wants my attention she will grab my face with her little hands and make me look right at her.
-When she wants something she will take me hand and push me to what she wants
-Goes to nursery with no problems
-Was snow white for Halloween
-always eating
-When I tell her it is time to go she goes and grabs her shoes
-LOVES to play outside
-loves to play kitchen and with baby dolls and with Eliza's vanity
-Pretends everything is a phone and loves to talk on the phone
-Loves her blankie and piggy
-is a climber...I have to pull her off the table it seems like hundreds of times a day.
-she loves to get her hair done just like Eliza
-likes to read books to herself

Everyday I wonder where my little baby went...she has gotten so big in the last little while.
