snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes...

these are a few of "MY" favorite things...

these girls; they are amazing.

favorites from today:

*Paisley saying "mom lets make a snow glow..." She meant "snow cone" :) She's thrilled you can make "sno glows" and eat them all day. However, after finding some rocks and sticks in the her "snow glow" cup, I had to put an end to her fun.

*Charlotte wearing Paisley's gloves and just eating snow and loving it!

Our first BIG snow day this winter!... Our LAST big snow day in NE. {mixed feelings once again}

MERRY CHRISTMAS :)

PAISLEYS PARTY :)

We had so much fun at Paisleys Party! They played, took silly pictures, opened presents, had lunch, cake, played pin the tail on the donkey and did a bean bag toss :) Paisley was so happy that her buddies could be there! Love you all !!! And HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY SISSY! That night, our family went to Village Inn for Free Slice Wednesday :) GREAT pie :), and it happened to be her birthday so it was wonderful. Love you Paisley!!

ps. Thanks for the pictures Valerie! You're amazing.

a birthday tribute to Paisley...

I can't believe my baby is four! Paisley is such a joy to have in our family. To say she is "one of a kind" is truly an understatement. I love her ZEST for life. She is the life of the party. She is sassy and has been from day 1. She is independent. She is funny. She is happy! She is stubborn. She is wonderful. I pray that these qualities will serve her well in life. Speaking of life, SHE LOVES LIFE. She's a great example to me of how to live and LOVE life. She gets her great personality and attitude from her sweet daddy. I love her dearly and feel beyond blessed to be her mother. I seriously cry when I think about her growing up! I often wish time could stand still . I love you sweet Paizers! HAPPY FOURTH BIRHTDAY!
All my love,
Mommy




I will post pictures from her bday party soon :) we had a good time!

Nana !

We were so lucky to have my mom here during the week of HALLOWEEN!! It was the greatest time ever. We felt so lucky to have her for a whole week. We love her so much and really enjoyed her company. We carved pumpkins, drank hot chocolate, watched scary movies and Christmas movies, made pumpkin bread, played in the SNOW!, told silly spooky stories to the girls, and went to antique stores!! Mom, I wish I could say that you should come out again, but uh, we're moving back home in 4 weeks!! WOWZA!!!

YEAH, it was like 60 degrees all week, {PERFECT!}and the last day mom was here, it SNOWED AND WAS SOOOO COLD! haha. We think that was actually our favorite day. Staying in our jammies and playing outside! Love you MOM. THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMING!

We ate at Bread and cup... so so YUMMY! {thanks suzanne for telling us about it!}

Thanks again Mom for everything. SEE YOU SOON!

Halloween was Happy indeed.

I'm pretty sure our girls got dressed up in their costumes about 1000 times. We did Boo at the Zoo, Trick or Treat at the Law School, Church Trunk or Treat, Regular Trick or Treating, and I'm sure just wearing them for fun from time to time. Paisley's costume was ripped from wear and tear before Halloween even came! Oh well :) We were so LUCKY to have my mom "NANA" come out for a week !!! We so enjoyed spending time with her! It was a vacation for us!!! She got to join in all of the festivities. We're pretty sure she enjoyed it too :) Thanks for coming MOm :) I'll do a seperate post for just pics of us with her!

Halloween is T-H-E B-E-S-T in NEBRASKAAAAA~~ Fall is hands down GORGEOUS here :) My favorite time of year. We love the streets here for Trick or Treating. They're straight out of a storybook. We may be coming back each year to trick or treat on the same street as always. Kind of sad this is our last one living here. WEIRD. Anyway, we had a blast with friends and watching the kids love halloween. One for the books I think.

OH HI cute nANa!

I LOVE this one of the kids and their silly vampire teeth :)

a bunch of little cuties ...

oh friends!

SO cute!

also super cute...

Here are some of us taking a million pictures... (of course we have to :) )

HAPPY HALLOWEEN...

the wrights

pumpkins pretty please...

We were able to visit Roca Berry Pumpkin patch... one.final.time. I can't believe that this Fall is our last one in Nebraska. I'm sure we'll come back to visit during the fall. It's just strange that we are almost done in NE. I have really mixed feelings about leaving. I'm so sad to leave friends, and the weather MINUS the winter :) We've truly been blessed.

pumpkins please!

Nebraska Fall... we LOVE you :)

one HAPPY family, one HAPPY place, and one HAPPY TRIP!!!

DISNEYLAND TWENTY ELEVEN!!!!!
We were able to go to Disneyland with the Wrights last week! It is always the greatest time ever. We've been looking forward to this trip for MONTHS! I feel so lucky to be a part of this family. They are wonderful. We were so happy to see Ben and Rae and their kids. We don't get to see them very much, so we loved our time with cousins! We did miss S+S, Aubs and Chad, and Gart and Jack :(

Paisley had such a great time. She's a great age for Disneyland(what's NOT a good age though right?) She was tall enough this year for some of the bigger rides. It was priceless watching her face !

And Charlotte, was amazing. She was looking at everything all wide eyed taking it all in. She was a dream and slept in her stroller to take naps and let everyone carry her around and spoil her.

I'M SO SAD because I OBVIOUSLY didn't get enough pictures... (just kidding)

the crew :) minus a few :(

"Cheers" to never wanting to grow up... because being a KID is THE BEST!!!!!

THANK YOU GRAMMA TINA AND PAPA JIM FOR THE WONDERFUL TRIP :) WE LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH!
