This is why I hate the sun...

So as many of you know, I am white... in fact very white. My husband likes to call me casper. For this very reason I decided that today while Bindi was taking her nap that I would treat myself to a little sun... maybe get a little color. People, I stayed out there for only 30 minutes and THIS is what happens! No your eyes are not playing tricks on you, only the front parts of my legs got color, and red is NOT the color I was going for. So for future references I cannot tan and that is why I choose to remain white. Thank you.

A couple days ago Tavia and I packed up the girls and took them swimming. They had SO much fun. Bindi is quite the little fish. When it was time to go both of the girls were very sad.

Happy Mother's Day!

Mother's day was wonderful. I woke up to a wonderful breakfast provided by my husband and was also allowed to sleep in. Brandon and Bindi got me some really nice cookware from pampered chef! Brandon, Bindi and I went to church with my mom and then we all had a family dinner at my mom and dads house. It such a nice day and we took lots of pictures. I love the ones of me and Tave with each-others little girls, too cute! Happy mothers day everyone.









Tippy, Tyler and soon to be Ian!

Bindi's best friend

The other day I was in the kitchen, and as many of you with kids know, when it gets quiet you either grab your camera or the vacuum. I chose to grab my camera and this is what i found. Bindi loves our little dog charlotte! She loves to play with her nails for some odd reason, but today she just wanted to lay next to her. She is such a sweet little girl.

And here are some of my other favorite pictures from today.
Aunt Tavia, Uncle Clint and Preslee got this for Bindi for her birthday and she absolutely loves it. Aunt Tavia even put a bow on the front of it to make it more girly!
And Grandma and Grandpa got her a shopping cart, which she loves to fill up and then push over!
And this is what mommy and daddy got her for her birthday. Now I know some of you may remember that I swore I would never buy my kids things that made noise (because I hate noise, especially annoying songs that repeat themselves over and over) but I did. That right there is love!
and this is Bindi's lawn mower from Uncle Tyler and Aunt Tippy she loves to crawl push this across the floor and she has some weird fascination with the red button which makes a noise like its filling a gas tank. And Bindi now growls like a Tiger.

Bindi turned 1!

I know that everyone says, "they grow up so fast." I now can officially say that she is growing up to fast. It seems like just yesterday that we brought Bindi home. She only weighed 4lbs. 11oz and was the tiniest little thing. We had to wake her up every two hours to feed her so that she wouldn't have to go back to the hospital. The labor was terrifying because when she came out she wasn't crying and then the NICU was called down. I remember looking at my mom and Brandon and seeing fear in their eyes, I remember my sister's face when she looked at me, and then finally after what seemed like forever they handed my tiny little angel over to me. Bindi is a miracle baby and Brandon and I have truly been blessed to have her in our lives. I cannot believe that its been a year, and I hope this next year goes slower. We had a beautiful birthday party for her at the park. I thought she would be my dainty little girl with the cake, but as you can see I was wrong. Thank you to everyone that came it was so fun to have you all there!

Happy Easter! Lots of pics!

Look at our pretty eggs!




She loves her grandma and Grandpa!
We had a wonderful Easter this year. Brandon and I had everyone over on Saturday (except for Tavia, Clint and Preslee because little Pres had a fever of 104) we had a yummy dinner, and then we colored eggs. It was so much fun!! Bindi got a really cute easter basket from Grandma and Grandpa it had clothes, toys, and a really cute bath towel. Then after everyone left I got out the vacume because while Bindi was tearing through her easter basket she threw easter grass everywhere, only to my horror did I find out that my vacuum was broken!!! I still am picking up easter grass. Happy Easter everyone!

So, once again I haven't posted in forever. Here is the update. Thursday we went to the park with the girls to feed the ducks. However, we learned at that time that my child has a fear for the ducks, she was terrified of the ducks, it was very sad, but also rather amusing. In other news we are getting closer and closer to moving into our house. We are just waiting for the final docs to come in. Our relator said the papers should be in by Tuesday and we might be able to move in later in the week. I absolutely LOVE the house... however, I hate hate hate the paint choices, so please do not think that I chose these colors. It is a 3 bedroom 2 and 1/2 bathroom 1360 sq. ft house with a 2 car garage. We are so excited to have a back yard for our little dogs. However, we already know we are going to have a problem with our nearby neighbors....j/k We can actually see Tavia and Clint's door step from our garage. Also a quick update on my mom, she went into her oncologist today and found out that she will start chemo on March 13th (my dad's birthday) So, although we have a long road she is doing well and recovering slowly. Thank you to everyone for all of the love and support you have given our family. I promise once we get settled I will update my blog much more.
