Hannah's 5th Birthday!

Here's some photos from her birthday today. We're doing a larger party on the 24th for both Jaidyn and Hannah but today was all about her. Last night to kick things off, we went to Bedtime Stories and it was AWESOME! I really didn't want to see it but I ended up loving it and would recommend it to you. Then this morning we opened presents as pictured, then got ready to play in the snow again. (we didn't get as much in Salt Lake as those further south of us) The snow was perfect snowman making so we built a large one, but it fell not long after we built it since it was warmer today. Then we did some errands and came home and waited for my mom to come up from Provo and we went to dinner. Hannah requested french toast and Jaidyn wanted strawberry smiley pancakes so we went to Jim's Family Restaurant. Marc had to leave this afternoon for his first day of school so he missed the errands and dinner. Then after dinner we came home and sang Happy Birthday to Hannah and she blew out her candle. Today was sooooo much fun and I am amazed that I already have a 5 year old. She's so smart and blows me away every day with how much she knows. HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANNAH!

What a cute little girl!!

So happy!!!!

Today I re-discovered how to do the fish braid! I knew how to do it when I was younger but forgot and was so excited when this website posted a video demonstration!! I was really excited to discover it so I could do it on Hannah's hair. Woo Hoo!

I know not much of a post but there you go!

Birthday Month!

So Hannah and Jaidyn's birthdays are this month. We are planning a joint party for them at Nickelcade which will be tons of fun! If you want to come let me know! I can't believe how fast time is going... I remember just yesterday they seemed to be just newborns and now they're having real conversations with me and Marc and I miss the little cuddly stage. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy them now but I miss the little them.

New Year's was quiet, we stayed home this year as opposed to going to a party. It was fun! Marc and I played games, watched a movie, ate a few snacks and rang in the new year with quiet style. I resolved to just read the Book of Mormon several times, each time reading to find something different. A different focus each time like all the missionary stories, or commandments or just what spoke to me. I'm going to really search, ponder and pray this time and I'm really looking forward to it. I've also resolved to look for more positive things and bring them into my daily life. Not stress out about how the house may look but focus on my children since before too long they won't want me to play with them anymore. I would resolve to lose weight, but that started on Thanksgiving when my world changed. Stress really does a number on my body and I'm already down 10+ pounds and several inches. I'm hoping I can foster that to a more healthy route to lose it though.

I hope you all had a fun new year's and that your 2009 is filled with the best it can offer for you and yours.
