My WILD child!

We call Lu our "WILD CHILD"--and she DEFINITELY lives up to that name! Thought I'd capture just a few of her latest antics... Cowgirl Lu, who wears this around the house saying "HAW!"(as in "Yee-haw!")
Looking quite posh in her newest love--sunglassess--and blowing me kissy faces...

Like I said--Lu LOVES her sunglassess...I'm lucky if I can get her take them off at night!

After complete insistance on her part, she is totally content with Mae's "pantsies" on her head... (this one is for you Erin!) and a plastic lei--she has quite the fashion sense!

Hanging over grandma and grandpa's stream with a little help from her WILD DAD...and loving every moment of it!

Could this girl get any cuter??? She is a HOOT and you NEVER know what to expect out of her! LOVE YOU LU!!!

L-O-V-E

Need I say more???

BIG GIRL PRINCESS BED!

After we got home from all the festivities in Ogden, we set up Mae's new BIG GIRL BED and nightstand!!! (This was BEFORE I painted the mismatched red wall in the back...)

We cannot keep these two OFF of it!...they look quite guilty I'd say!

My big girl posing on her big girl PRINCESS bed!

Mae's "Tangled" Party!

For Mae's party, she decided she wanted a "Tangled" party--big surprise! We decided to do it at Grandma and Grandpa Clayton's since Ben and Luke would be in town then and Mae just LOVES Ben! We even rented a jumper for the kids to play in--and it was a BIG HIT!!!

I saw this cute idea online and decided to make a donut tower--in addition to the CUPCAKES Mae wanted to have...

I printed out pictures of "Tangled" and made cake toppers, and then added rings and frogs to the cupcakes as little favors. Mae and Ben waiting for the party to start!

Blowing out her candles...
...and very proud of herself!
Lu LOVED the cupcake--we mostly just the frosting--she kept dipping her ring into the frosting and then eating it off...

I made Mae this princess comforter to go with her birthday present of--a BIG GIRL BED!!! (which we left at home)

And now, for the MAIN EVENT--THE BOUNCER...

Again, Mae and Ben loving on each other...

Even Baby Miya got in on the action...(check out those THIGHS!!!)

And there was NO stopping Lu!

LOVE this pic!

And at the end of the day...

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! I think it is fair to say we WORE THIS GIRL OUT!!!

Hope you had a WONDERFUL party Mae and a special day! We LOVE you WAY too much!

My THREE year-old!!!

Well, its official, as of 3:02am on May 13th , my Mae-Mae, my firstborn, turned THREE, yes that is 1-2-3, years old! I cannot believe how fast the time as gone! She is SUCH a blessing in our lives and I am soooooo grateful she is mine! Mae LOVES sausage for breakfast and was THRILLED to see 3 candles in her patty this morning--if you can't tell from her face...
She took the blowing out of the candles very seriously--and did an awesome job!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAE-MAE!!! WE LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!

Pam's Luau!

For Pam's 50th birthday, we threw her a LUAU--true to form, we came dressed for the occasion! We had a GREAT time celebrating Pam and how AMAZING of a person she is--and of course, eating good food! (Notice the picture behind us to the left, that is Pam when she was young--I'd say Mae just might look a tad like her Nana...) We love you Nana Pam! Thanks for being born!

BIG GIRL with "SPARKLY" ears!

Mae, ever the girl, has always LOVED shiny sparkly earrings and I have told her that when she was ready we would go and get her ears pierced. I wanted to be honest with her so she knew what she would be getting herself into so I told her it felt like a shot in her ears and up until a few days before her 3rd birthday, and that would put a stop to it right there...BUT with Mae turning 3, she decided that she was ready and when she decides something--who am I to stand in her way??? So I took her to a jewelry store by our house, still not 100% sure that we would come home with her ears pierced. Well, they took their merry time getting all step up, and Mae picked out her sparkly star earrings and waited sooooooo patiently. When they actually did it, she cried for about 30 seconds, that was until she saw her "sparkly ears" and with that and her lollipop she was right as rain! She was sooooooo excited to get home and show her dad and Lu her ears!

I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW BIG MY GIRL IS GETTING!!! WHERE DID THE TIME GO?!! I'm so glad I got to be a part of this special day!
