Too much growing up for one day!

My little Paisley is just growing too fast. This last week she started walking a little. But it was pretty shaky. Today she has just been taking off on her own. It is so fun to watch this tiny little person who looks way to tiny to be walking... walking! It just doesn't look natural. I love it! When Paisley was born she didn't have much hair. In fact she had a mullet. (you know...Business in the front. Party in the back). Lorin used to call her mullet head just to drive me crazy. Well today we finally have enough hair for pony tails! She was also upgraded to a forward facing big girl car seat today. See what I mean? Too much for one day!

My baby sister is engaged!

I can't believe that my baby sister is getting married! Her boyfriend Chandler came home from his mission about 3 weeks ago and he purposed on valentine's day....Is anyone else wondering what took him so long? :) I am so excited for you Hailey!

Playing with photoshop

I just got a new photoshop program and have been having so much fun with it! I'm addicted. The only problem is that it takes me so long to figure out how to do one simple thing. So I spend forever on my computer and only get one picture edited. It's complicated stuff......Or maybe I'm just a little slow. But it's fun. If anyone knows of any good photoshop classes in the area or books or anything that could help please let me know.


Tasha Price was nice enough to let me come practice using my new camera on her cute kids. Paisley is just way to mobile to wait for me to figure out the camera. By the time I do the moment is gone.
I love this picture but does anyone know how to remove shadows on photoshop? There's got to be a way.
Aren't her eyes amazing!


We were mostly taking pictures of Halle but Payton wanted to get in there and pose for the camera too. She is a good little poser isn't she! Thanks Tash for letting me practice on your kids!

I need some help

I was thinking that it would be fun to put a picture of Paisley in the Babies Born in 2008 in the post Register. But there's just one problem. I am the most indecisive person in the world. I know it's not that big of a deal. Just pick a picture and put it in, right? Well I have a tendency to over analyze everything. So I have narrowed it down to three pictures and I would love some input from everyone. Thanks!

Girls' weekend!

Last weekend me, Paisley, my mom, and Hailey had a little girl's weekend and took a trip to Utah. So of course that means shopping...shopping.....and more shopping! We had a blast. These are a few pictures from our trip.
On the way there we stopped in Malad to see my Grandma & Grandpa so that they could see Paisley. I can't believe that this is the first time they have met her!

After a long day of shopping we relaxed in the hotel pool and hot tub. And even though the pool rules said no children under 2 years old; I bought Paisley some cute little bath toys and a new swim suit so she could swim too. She loved it!



Poor Paisley had a bit of a rough weekend. She was playing by the night stand and slipped and hit her head right on the corner of it! She got quite a shiner from it.

I took this carrier thing so that my hands would be free for shopping. She actually really liked it. She took some pretty good naps in that thing....but my shoulders and hips were killing me the next day!

Aunt Hailey LOVES zebra print. So she couldn't resist buying Paisley this adorable coat from gymboree. Thanks Hai! I love it.


I know this is turning into a rediculously long post but here are some pictures I couldn't resist sharing of my favorite little girl in the world.

I know that the green pacifier looks kind of funny in this picture but Paisley just loves her green pacifiers. For the last 10 months I have been desperately searching for a cute pink one that she would like as much but she always goes back to the green ones. She loves them. I don't even want to know how much money I have wasted on cute pacifiers that she hates!

New camera on the way!

I am so excited! For the past few months I have been dreaming about a new camera and researching like crazy to decide what to get. With a big thanks to Camille Roskelley for educating me on cameras I finally found the one! I ordered it today and can't wait to get it (due to arrive on Jan 21st).

Paisley is growing like crazy as usual and into everything! She's all over the place and on the verge of walking. I enjoy more than anything in the world being her mom and playing with her everyday. She is such a happy little girl and I can't get enough of her!








We recently used the "cry it out" method to try and get Paisley to sleep better through the night......And I am a believer! It only took two nights and she was sleeping through the night. I haven't felt this well rested in months! The first night she had been crying for a few minutes and stopped so I went in her room to check on her and this is what I found. She was out cold with her head resting on her bumper pad. I couldn't help but grab the camera and take a picture of her.

Family pictures

While Cody was home for Christmas we had some family pictures taken. We just got them back today and I was excited about how they turned out. Especially the one where Paisley is clapping. What a little cutie!
