Good Day For a Picnic

Today I decided we needed to do something different. So I thought Hallee and Blyss would love a picnic. I told Hallee my idea, and she had everything set up at 10:30, she was so excited, she kept asking me when we could have our picnic. So finally lunch time came and we made up our lunch and we had our picnic in Hallee and Blyss' room. It was fun, I think we might try to do it once a week and have picnic's in different rooms of the house.

Princess

Our house is definately run by little princesses. Blyss wears her princess gear all day long, sometimes even to bed. I get a kick out of seeing my girls in crowns and high heels, but at the same time love to play in dirt, with worms, and they could gross out a boy any day- which makes their dad so proud.

Blyss ready to go outside- she wouldn't take off her dress so we could leave.
I got this Snow White Out fit at King's for $12, it came with the dress, shoes, crown, and purse.

I got this princess dress at Family Dollar- $5.00 the high heel shoes- $3.00

Hallee likes to set out all her princess stuff everyday, she will also get Blyss' princess outfit ready, she picks out the dress, the crown, the necklace, the bracelet, the shoes, the purse, and the dress for Blyss to wear.

Happy Valentines!

We finally got some good snowman snow, so Zak and Hallee made a snowman. The poor snowman died after one day (he fell over).

While I'm cleaning I try to have something for Hallee and Blyss to do to keep them occupied so I can get my work done. Maybe having Blyss watercolor was not the best idea though.

Byss painted her hands, spilled the cup of water, and had laid in the water. Instead of painting the paper she painted my countertops- good thing it all cleans up easily. Thats how Blyss' pants usually look on her since she is so skinny.

Hallee's hair. I thought it turned out pretty good. It was her Valentine's party for preschool. So of course she had to wear her heart shirt and I did the heart in her hair. She came home from preschool, she was so excited that she had so many treats, I didn't realize the thing to do for Valentines Day was to tape a treat to the card, whoops- we just gave cards, but the cards did have stickers with it. Now I'll know for now on to attatch treats to the card!

Have a great Valentine's Day!

Look who is 2

Blyss had her 2nd birthday last week. Time sure has flown by, I can't believe that my baby is 2 years old. Blyss sure is a joy to us, here are a few things about her: she likes to talk, be a princess, play and do whatever her sister is doing, Blyss likes to sing, dance, cuddle, likes her jewlery, she is kind of bossy- likes things her way, she loves to watch Barbie movies and Shrek, she loves animals, she is very loving to babies and animals(she always wants to give hugs and kisses), she is very good at cleaning up her toys, and she can sure make us laugh alot. Blyss has lived in 3 different states, 4 different homes, and has had 12 haircuts.


For Blyss' birthday, Hallee, Blyss and I went to celebrate in Idaho, because Zak was gone to Seattle for a meeting. I made Blyss a princess cake, and she got a princess outfit that she wears all the time, it came with the high heels and she loves to wear those too, Hallee likes them as well, so we had to go get her own pair. We had a little party at my parents house, with great grandma Bazil, my parents, Chase, Nick, and Hailey.

Then on Saturday Zak came up to Idaho and we celebrated Blyss' birthday with Zak's family, we went to Green Canyon and swam, Blyss really likes to play in the water. On Sunday we went to Victor where are nephew, Rhett was blessed, he also has red hair, so we'll see if it stays red.

We had a great time in Idaho hanging out with family, shopping(Any time I go, I have to go to Traditions- in Rigby, my favorite store), visiting, and playing. Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us stay with you!

Tagged & Salt Lake

I haven't been able to post about last weekend when we went to Salt Lake City, Blyss started with the stomach flu (Blyss had the stomach flu for 3 days, which when she pukes there is no warning, so wherever she was I had a mess to clean up), then Hallee, then me, so all week I have been doing load after load of laundry cleaning up puke, holding sick babies, you know how it goes- Not FUN!

So, last weeked we went to Salt Lake and met Zak's parents there. We ate at Macaroni Grill, our first time, and everyone is right- IT WAS GOOD! Then we went over to Temple Square and walked around. Then we got a carriage ride from Temple Square back to our hotel, which the girls loved. Then we hit the hotel swimming pool, Blyss and Hallee both had fun(when we got home for 2 days Blyss wore her swimsuit, and she would point to it and say, "fun".)

On Saturday we when to Thanksgiving point to the Dinosaur museum, it is really neat, they have this huge sand box with water, play dinosaurs, and Hallee had a blast playing in it. We also went and seen a 3-D movie there as well, that was pretty neat.

Right there by Thanksgiving point is a store called Rod Works, and they have such cute decorations, I ended up finally buying a clock! I wish we had a store like that closer to Logan.


Then we headed home, where the girls slept the entire way, they were so tired after all our playing. We had a great time with Zak's parent- Thanks!



I was also tagged to list some things that BUG me.. So here are somethings that bug me...


1. Dirty House, especially when things are strung all over.


2. When people don't hold a door open for you and they are just a couple of steps ahead, especially when holding a car seat, holding a hand of a toddler and balancing a diaper bag, I had this happen to me so much when Blyss was in a car seat.


3. I pull into a gas station all the pumps are full, so I pull in behind someone who is fueling up their car, they finish fueling, go inside the store (meanwhile I'm still sitting their waiting), they go inside, buy a pop, take 5 minutes and finally come out, and leave. Hello- use some courtesy and pull forward to the front of the store, I really don't enjoy sitting and waiting at a gas station.


4. When its your 1st Sunday in a new ward and the only person to talk to you the entire time is the Relief Society President. We so need to be friendlier to new people when they come to Church, it could be an investigator, it would make you feel like not going back.


5. When people save seats.


6. Salespeople who make you feel guilty, use the guilt trip.


7. When I can't remember where I put something.


8. When my girls are made fun of for having blankies.


9. When people are nice to the face, but talk bad behind the back.


10. Barking dogs, dogs who aren't tied up in a neigborhood.


I tag- Erica, Dixie, and Sara B.

Ta Dah

Here it is, Hallee and Blyss' room finished, the only room in our house that is all decorated!

We made a Chalk Board

A place for Hallee to put all her drawings.

SILLY!

This clip is of something Blyss enjoys doing, don't ask me why, we get a kick out of it though.
These are some of the silly things my girls did yesterday.
First I found Blyss having a wonderful time sitting in her toy box, reading books and singing to herself, she stayed there for about 15 minutes, it just made me laugh.

Then last night after I put her to bed I peeked in on her and she was sitting in her bed reading a book to herself, it is pretty cute that she reads to herself.
Hallee is very artistic and creative she builds stuff all day long (especially bridges, she builds bridges with her blankets from her bedroom to the front room everday), Hallee also colors or draws or plays with playdough about an hour or more everyday. Well today she turned her toy box into a little seat with a side thing to hold her plate of food or sippy cup. It just amazed me that she figured out how to collapse the box and turn it into something useful, besides holding toys.
