Ms. Layla

This little girl is growing up WAY to fast!
She's made so many accomplishments lately.
-She's riding her bike with out training wheels! (2/13/14)
-She's tying her shoes!
-She can say Articles of Faith 1-5, all by herself.
-She can sing all the songs on the "Frozen" soundtrack.
-We just recently bought a piano, and she can play quite a few songs by ear. 
ex. Mary Had a Little Lamb, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Called to Serve, Away 
in a Manger, and Book of Mormon Stories.
We're anxiously waiting for a spot to open up for piano lessons!

She's such an intelligent little gem. I can't believe she'll be starting Kindergarten this fall.
I don't know what I'm going to do without my little helper around the house all day long! :(
She is so excited to ride the bus, but I have forbidden that.
I'm not ready for her to experience the terrible things that happen on buses.
She'll probably never ride a bus. Am I a crazy mother?!

She's a social butterfly and does not meet a stranger. She's just like her daddy with
the trait. She can talk to anyone, like she's known them her whole life. And she
can make you laugh and laugh. Again, gets it from her daddy.
She is such a great example to me. I wish I could freeze time where it's at with her.
All I know is that we're going to really enjoy our summer, before she starts yet another
new chapter in her life.

She's my favorite first offspring ever.

Christmas Instagrams

I am finally able to put our Instagrams on our blog from Christmas.
Someday I'll catch up!

Headed to the airport! So so excited!

Phoenix airport. This little germy play area was a lifesaver for us!

Beautiful snow covered trees at Trolley Square.

Squishy hated being all bundled up, and especially hated that 
she had to wear socks! But she sure looked adorable.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Morning!
Nerf guns have been a HUGE hit!

Christmas Day.
Feeling incredibly blessed.

My dad took Lance ice fishing for his first time. 
He really enjoyed it.
And looked good in the carharts!

Squishy had her first ER visit.
And our first ER visit ever with a child.
It was scary, but no worries, she's healthy as a horse now!

Taking the kids sledding!

Papa rigged up an old knee board for the kids and pulled them behind the razor.
Layla could have done this for hours.

Ice Skating!
Kids loved it!

Celebrated Ms Layla's 5th birthday!
Can you even believe she's 5!!

Visiting sweet Great-Grandma Vida.
Our kiddlets Great-Great Grandma.

Goodbyes at the airport.

Sister love :)

The greatest man I know.
I love my father so much.

Airplane ride home was a total success!
They looked like this until we landed, then slept till 10am the next morning!

We feel so blessed that we were able to go home for Christmas and give
our children the white Christmas they had been dreaming of.
It was such a wonderful holiday.
