The Kiddos love their new Baby

Besides Parker ignoring Paisley completely for the first few days everyone is adjusting rather well to the new addition to the family! They can't give her enough kisses and Parker asks to "pet" her everyday.

Introducing Miss Paisley Mae

I haven't made a post in almost a year so I figure the arrival of our precious Paisley is a good time to start! Paisley was born on January 28, 2011 at 12:11pm. She was 8 lbs 3 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. It was the longest labor ever!! I went in on January 27th at 8:30am! We are absolutely in love with this sweet spirit that Heavenly Father has blessed us with.

Vegas Baby!

So I am no longer a Vegas Virgin! Doug and I had the opportunity to go to Vegas for a business meeting... well Doug had a meeting and my only meeting was relaxing in our hotel room. I had fun walking the strip during the day and doing some shopping. We enjoyed relaxing away from our normal life and sight seeing. Next trip to Vegas I would like to stay at the Paris Hotel. It was so stinkin' cute! I ate breakfast at a little cafe there one morning. Fun!

Papa's Helper

My dad is such an amazing man! He has helped us so much with all our projects with the "new" house. Landen is the best helper ever! He helped Papa put together the pantry one day. It was so awesome watching them work together. I am so blessed!!

Family Fun

My cousin Natalie came to Turlock for a visit from Oregon with her 4 kids. My kids had the best time playing outside and running around at Great Grandma's house. They all tried grapefruit straight off Grandma's tree, sour faces all around. Parker loved following 3 year old Ashely around. They played for about an hour and then we needed to head back to Fresno. They are still talking about their cousins and all the fun they had.

St. Patrick's Day Breakfast for Dinner

We celebrated St. Patrick's Day with a yummy and fun dinner! Green pancakes with chocolate chips, green milk with a shamrock straw, green eggs, bacon, and for dessert was a cookie brownie... the kids loved it!

Parker turns 2!

Wow! I can't believe my baby is 2! Time is just flying by. We had a few people over to help us celebrate. Parker was a little under the weather, but still managed to scarf down some cupcake, play the wii with the boys, and bowl a few games in the entry way. Parker is such an absolute joy! We all love him so much!
