BESTIES

Could these two get any more precious . . .

Family Portraits & Lei's Two Years!

How cute did all of our pictures turn out?? I had to share them. These are just a FEW of my favorites.

Our Family Lately...

Lei at the Fireworks...

We hiked down to a waterfall... beautiful. I fell and scraped my knee, but it was worth it :)

The girls played in the stream by the waterfall all day...

What a pretty spot?!

Waiting for more fireworks with Grandpa.

Fourth of July BBQ

At the zoo.... again! Leighton LOVES the Lion.

Leighton & Paisley walked around holding hands.

Are they happy or scared to be on this tiger??

TINY & TWO

Birthday Girl!

Loving her new car. (with Halle)

Paisley & Payton

How cute are they?!

Our little Leighton is no longer a baby.... we now have a TWO YEAR OLD! The "Tiny & Two" party consisted of friends, family, swimming in the backyard, and all "tiny" foods. Leighton had such a fun time, and we were so happy that everyone could come! This little girl brings me happiness every single day. I am so grateful that two years after her birth, she is still strong, healthy, and the center of my world.

Leighton has the sweetest spirit and the strongest will.

She has a funny sense of humor and yet a very tender heart.

Loves to be chased and run, but loves being caught and tickled just as much.

Has such as little voice, and such a loud giggle.e

She has the most innocent face, and yet a very real "fake cry" :)

She still has a very tiny body, but her personality/attitude makes up for it.

And I love every bit of her.

Lions & Tigers & Bears . . .

We took Leighton to the zoo for Mother's Day, and she was in love. We may need to get a season pass for the summer. She was very cautious about the petting zoo. . . but maybe thats because the goat was trying to eat her shirt :)

Gorgeous Girls

This fabulous girl is my sister Emily. Yeah... she's beautiful. She was in Rigby's Jr Miss this weekend and did amazing! I am so proud of her. She won Interview, Scholastic, Spirit of JM and 3rd runner up!! I can't say enough good things about her. She truly is a gorgeous girl inside and out. Love ya.

Gorgeous girl #2 wishes she could have gone to Jr. Miss. She has been watching Emily practice for months, and she can copy her every move. Lei loves to be outside and play with balls, but the minute her hands get dirty the fun is over. She is a true girly-girl at heart.

Waiting for Spring...

Dear Weather,

This sunny one day and snowing the next is really messing us up. Leighton can't quite understand why one we can go outside and play for awhile, and the next day it is "too cold" to be out for very long. What's a girl to do?? She is in love with being outside. (and learning to throw mini-tantrums when she can't) We're tired of being indoors. Please let spring come soon. Please.

Sincerely,

Desperate Mom

Can you hear me now?

This is our little doll. She loves anything that mom and dad do. Especially talking on the phone. Leighton has many important calls to make during the day, and she walks around as above "talking". Don't try to buy her a toy cell phone.... she can tell the difference. I love my little Lei. Sorry in advance if she happens to find your number. She'll usually leave a lengthy voicemail.
