Easter

Easter this year was a lot of fun! Its awesome seeing Paige understand more and get so excited! We had some easter egg hunts and the Easter Bunny came on sunday morning. She got a new sunday dress and a kite and some books and of course some candy!! We spent the weekend with family and had a great time!
A few days later Coleman and Paige had a daddy daughter night and Coleman decided to splurge and buy Paige a club house! It will eventually go outside but until then it's in the spare bedroom! She Loves it!

Baby Kyson

My sister had constantly joked around about having her baby on Paige's birthday and I told her it was NOT allowed!! I know that is selfish but I like that Paige has her own birthday! Plus Karli wasn't due until the 31 of March and I really didn't think she would go early. Boy was I wrong!! Paige's birthday was on Wednesday the 21 and on Thursday Karli came with me and my mom to run some errands. She had been to the doctor that afternoon and she had been complaining of aching pains that would come and go and I kept telling her she was having contractions but she wouldn't believe me because they didn't *hurt*
Coleman and I were going on a date and we left Paige with my mom and Karli and not even 20 minutes after we had left my mom calls me and says she is taking Karli to the hopsital. We met them over there and Karli was totally in labor!! Coleman took Paige home so I could stay at the hopsital and just after midnight Karli gave birth to my sweet new nephew Kyson Dusty Freeman! It was so awesome being there and Karli has been such a wonderful momma!! I am very proud of her and I hope she knows that! I hope she can raise him in the gospel and that her and Dusty and make it to the temple soon. A week after Kyson was born Karli and Dusty got married!! We are happy for them and we hope that they can have a great future together!! Here are some pictures of our sweet little nephew!

              He is so sweet and cuddly i just love him so much!! And Paige LOVES her baby Kyson.

Paige's 2nd birthday

Oh my! I can't believe our little girl is TWO years old!! She is so grown up!!! She talks so well and is so funny!! She is the sweetest thing! It makes me so sad to see her acting like a "big girl" but I love it so much. She cheers me up when i'm sad and she knows exactly how to put a smile on anyones face. Paige loves her daddy and gets so excited when she hears him come home from work. She says " I go get him". She loves singing songs her favorites are -
Itsy bitsy spider
I love you
Wheels on the bus
Popcorn popping on the apricot tree
2 different monkey songs
And she loves to dance and shake her groove thing when the music is on.
Paige is truely the light of our lives and she has us all wrapped around her little finger!
Here are some of her two year pictures that we had taken by Rachel Cook Photography. Rachel always does an amazing job and we are so sad that she is moving!! Paige is such a ham and loves cheesing it up for the camera!

                                                  

And thank you to everyone that came to Paige's birthday party!

Karli's baby shower

My mom and I put on a baby shower for Karli on the 18 of February. We had an open house style of shower and just did it at the church. We had a great turn out!! Thank you everyone who came and for the nice things that you gave Karli! I know that helped her out so much and she is very grateful!! It was fun to have the shower but it was so nice to have it over with!! Now she only has a few weeks left and I will be an Aunt again! Only this time it will be on my side of the family. A weird situation  that we are making the most of!! I am excited to meet sweet little Kysen and I am proud of my sister for growing up! She is going to be a great mom!

Birthday fun!!

I was so spoiled for my birthday this year!! Seriously!! This year it ended up being on the same day as the Super Bowl! Meaning a lot of people were also celebrating my birthday! :) Coleman and I had decdided to go out to dinner on Saturday the day before but he wouldn't tell me where we were going! We dropped Paige off at Grandma and Grandpa's and then we had to get gas and started driving. Cole tried to tell me that we were having dinner in Driggs and all I could do was laugh and say "yeah right!" I finally figured out that we were going to Heise for pizza!! Delicious! But I was thrown off by the fact that he said we needed a reservation and I know you don't need one of those there! When we walked in to the pizza parlor there was a table reserved and all of our family was sitting there!!! He reserved a table and my fam and his fam and PAIGE had all come to celeberate and swim!!! Yay!! I was so suprised I had not seen that coming at all it was such a wonderful night!! Plus i got the Iphone 4S!!!!! See so spoiled : ) We had everyone over to the house on Sunday to watch the superbowl and eat way too much food and I was given more presents!! Thanks everyone for making it such a great birthday!!!

The card sang when you opened it and she was having so much fun with it!

the Holidays 2011

So I feel like our holidays were packed with lots of family time this year and we were plenty busy.. I did manage to get a few pictures but I always wish I had more! It was strange for me this year when spending time with my family. So much has changed this year. My parents divorce which still isn't final and I haven't seen my dad since October so that was really weird. My little sis is pregnant and engaged. I am very happy that she is happy but it still blows my mind! Being diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and not being pregnant made for an emotional holiday as well.. But besides all the struggles we have been through this year I am incredibly grateful and my heart is so full with love. My testimony has grown more this year than it EVER has and I am grateful for our families and for the support that we have through friends as well. I am a firm believer in the saying "what doesn't kill you will make you stronger!" Going through any kind of trial is hard but I am so thankful that I have learned from my mistakes and from the bad things. Coleman and I are happier than we have ever been!! Our love grows more and more each day. We have a beautiful spirited 22 month old and she brings so much happiness into our world! This has been a hard year but we have had a wonderful year at the same time!! Soon we will have two new nephews and my best friend is having a boy too!! We are surrounded by love and we hope that we can share our love with so many more this year!! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and I hope you all make the best of 2012!!

Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving and Christmas :) Enjoy!

Okay so let me explain the headband. When we went to Colemans work the day before Christmas Eve one of his co-workers gave paige this awesome headband!! I thought it was hilarious so I had her wear it long enough for pictures and then she wore a flower because she wouldn't keep the headband on long enough!

I think it's Awesome!
