Holy Crap A Ton Has Happened Within The Last Two Months! But Hey, The Weather Has Officially Springtomized!

There is so much that has been going on these past few months. I don't even know where to begin. This post is a little longer than normal, but I thinks it's worth reading and checking out all the cute pictures. :) 

Here's what we've been up to.... 

This little Squish absolutely loves her baths! Her new favorite thing.... BUBBLES!

For those of you who think Melanie is always happy and smily... 

Think again.

Hahaha! This little one can throw an attitude! 

This rocking chair has been in Dallan's family for generations. Now it's Melanie's turn it use it. So sweet. 

She likes to rock her babies (stuffed animals/dolls). It is pretty dang cute! 

I was having so much fun making this little girl laugh. It's one of my favorite things to do. She loves playing peekaboo. 

On march 17th, it was my birthday. Dallan took the day off from work and hung out with Melanie and me. It was nice spending my birthday with my little family. :) Of course I had to have Chinese food (my favorite) for lunch. Mmmmm Mmmmm good.

My birthday elcaire. Hahaha! Basically I took a picture of everything. 

Dallan had Melanie give me a bouquet of daisies. It was so adorable. 

Cutest thing ever! 

Of course she needed help because all she wanted to do was play with he flowers. Haha! 

My Mom made my favorite dinner and they had red velvet cake for me! 

They put all 24 candles in the middle of the cake so it looked like a huge fire. It was funny.

Ummm.... I don't know what's up with Ricky's face in this picture. 

Melanie sure loved the ice cream. She had to get every last morsel.

Lindsey, my sister in law, had her prom last month. She asked me to do her hair and make up. It looked great if I do say so myself. Hahaha! She looked BEAUTIFUL!

These two were too cute!

Her date was a good sport dealing with a crazy person like me. 

Later in the month of March it was Dallan's dad's 50th birthday.

Melanie liked to help Grandpa open his presents. 

He got a gag gift pair of "geezer glasses." When he put the glasses on, the first thing I thought of was Arthur the cartoon aardvark. Hahaha! One of my most favorite shows as a kid! 

Two of my best friends came to Utah from California for a wedding and they took the time to visit Melanie and me. Ella and I have been friends since we were five years old. She married her high school sweet heart Andrew, who we also have been friends with for a long time. It was great to see them both! 

I don't know why I took a picture of our fish. We got new white rock for their tank and that's about it...

She takes after her mommy. Addicted to Yogurtland! 

Yummy to the tummy! 

The other week Melanie, Dallan's mom, and I went to David's Bridal to get Melanie's flower girl dress for her Uncle Justin's wedding coming up in June. 

It was so funny watching her look through all the dresses. Hard to think she will be looking at dresses for real one day for her own wedding. 

The people at the bridal store sure treated her like a princess. She even got her own room.

Going in...

She was a little bashful at first. 

Then she saw all the mirrors and loved all the attention from everyone!

She even gave me kisses :) 

I love this little girl so much!

Time to put on normal clothes again.

Our cousin Nicholas got some free Jazz game tickets and asked Dallan and I if we would go with him and Dallan's sister Lauren!

Nicholas got the hugest ice cream cone I've ever seen! 

We sure had a lot of fun with these kids. 

Don't know what Melanie is looking at..... Haha! 

Go Jazz!

At the beginning of this month, April 6th to be exact, Dallan and I celebrated our three year anniversary. These three years have been so special and I'm truly grateful that I can spend eternity with him :) 

More to come very soon! Here's a sneak peak of the next post...

Taking Melanie to the NEW, GIGANTIC Aquarium! 

Spring Is In The Air, Melanie Bakes Cookies With Mommy, Finger Painting Fun, And I Pretty Much Have A Frozen Yogurt Addiction.

The year continues! Melanie is growing like a weed, the weather is getting warmer, and we are continuing to have our adventures! 

Kids are so funny. When they are tired, they are TIRED! Melanie will sleep anywhere if she is sleepy enough. Here is a picture of her sleeping in a cart at the store. Hahaha!

Squish loves to color. They have these giant coloring books with huge crayons and she goes to town with them. It's fun to watch her hold on to the big crayons with her little hands and start coloring. 

Then Abby decided to join in on the fun. 

My little girl with her sweet shades. Hahaha!

One day I decided to make some cookies so that they would be ready by the time Dallan got home. I had Melanie help me out. She absolutely LOVED it! She had so much fun helping Mommy. 

Just look at that sweet face. Of course she had to have a taste and lick her little fingers. 

We went shopping at Costco one evening and when we walked out, this beauty appeared. 

An awesome rainbow!

I love that the weather is getting warmer so that we can go on walks. I've missed being outside all the time.

We had corn on the cob with our dinner one night and we decided to give one to Melanie and let her try it. She felt so cool eating it like a big person. She even started to get silly and let go of the corn while it was still in her mouth. 

Squish officially has a favorite movie... The Muppets. It's like a two hour long Sesame Street to her I guess. As you can see Dallan didn't quite last through the whole movie. Melanie was even starting to doze off, but she tried her hardest to watch it all. 

I took Melanie to the store and bought her this Color Wonder finger paint kit. She had so much fun and THANK GOODNESS it doesn't make a mess on furniture or fabric. 

Here is the before and after picture. She was like a little Michelangelo. 

Here are the cute buddies snuggling together. Poor Abby sometimes.... Squish occasionally likes to bite or chew on her head. Hahaha! Oh geez.

They don't lie when they say a baby's favorite toy is a box. 

I have a confession to make....

I have a serious addiction to FROZEN YOGURT!

Mmmmmm Yogurtland, how I love you. 

My sweet little girl sleeping with her beanie baby doll. 

I love morning snuggles with this little girl. 

It melts my heart. I love her so much!

Melanie got in her box again so while she was in it, I stuffed her toys all around her. 

I don't think she appreciated it very much. 

Just relaxing with her feet up. 

Melanie has gotten old enough that she now can eat a kids meal at restaurants. She loves it because it makes her feel like a big girl. 

Dallan and I had the same day off so we decided to go out on a family picnic at Murray Park. It was a beautiful day.

Just me trying to be artsy with the pictures. 

There's nothing quite like laying out on the grass on a clear sunny day. 

Melanie found a pine cone!

We would throw the pine cone and Melanie would run after it and bring it back. 

In other words, yes, my daughter was playing fetch. Hahaha! 

She sure had fun doing it though! 

I love spending time with my little family and making memories. I know the warmer the weather gets, the more opportunities we will have to be outdoors and have some fun in the sun! 

More adventures soon to come to a blog near you!
