Three little blessings

By some miracle we ended up with an Easter shot of all three girls smiling!


Most of them turned out more like this. I can't even remember what it was that she was wanting at this moment in time. I am enjoying our little spicy 22-month-old. The temper tantrums seem mild compared to the joy she brings us. I struggled immensely at this age with Aubrie, but it seems so much easier with No. 3. I think because I realize how short of a time it is that the temper tantrums last, and I also realize how fun it is to see her cute little personality come out while she tries so many new things.


It was her first Easter that she could truly enjoy. This is her first time dying eggs.


I realize those tiny hands won't stay bitty long.


Or dyed orange forever!!






Teyah loved finding eggs and knew immediately what to do. (Notice her piggy tails! Her hair is finally long enough!)


Of course, she also knew what tastes good!


All three of these girls bring me such joy!


I am so grateful for my Savior, who died for me, so that I could live with my wonderful family forever.

The best b-day ever

My hubby planned an amazing surprise party for me last week when I turned the big 3-0!


After a nice dinner, we returned home to a house full of 10 friends there to surprise me and celebrate! We had my favorite DQ icecream cake!


Dave also planned a game of "This is Your Life" with lots of surprises.


The first was my cousin Autumn who had been hiding in the basement!


He also called several old friends on the phone and internet and they all told memories they had of me and made me feel special. It was such a trip for me. I was so impressed with his party agenda. I don't know if all the guests enjoyed it because I was the center of attention the whole time, but it was fun for me! I am not usually comfortable with the spotlight, but for one night, I definitely enjoyed it.

Dave also made an amazing video out of pictures and video of the past 30 years. Have I ever mentioned that I have the most amazing husband?! Seriously, he is the best.

Teyah's fashion statement

Time to potty train? Or, maybe we just need to teach this kid some style tips? As we were folding laundry, Teyah found the pile of her big sisters' underwear, and on her own, and with help, managed to put on about 20 pair! At least they are clean!



Bedtime came and as you can see she is not too pleased with me making her take them off!




I relented and allowed her to keep two pairs. I figured it wasn't worth her crying in her crib for hours, but there was no way I was going to let her dirty ALL of her sisters' underwear for the week!

Teyah's speech is picking up along with her tantrums. She absolutely loves to copy her sisters. It is a fun age. My favorite is seeing her want to hold everyone's hands everywhere we go. So cute! Teyah's spunky personality seems to be enhanced every day!
