Yup...

This is Marley's favorite costume, & that's bullseye she's riding 

She's unique & special & we love her :)

My graduate!!

This is my pre-school graduate!!

Cutest thing ever right? Is it embarrassing that I got teary eyed at a PRE-SCHOOL graduation?  She has learned so much this year & I am so proud of her! 

I absolutely hate the idea of my girls growing up.  I remember when I first had her I was so excited for her to learn anything & everything & to see her grow up!  Now I would do anything to make it stop! 

She has taught me & her dad so much about life & what's truly important. We will always do anything & everything for our kids because it's the least we can do!

Alyviah is smart beyond her years & quickly did the math about her being born before we were married.  This conversation always had me a little nervous, & I definitely didn't expect to be doing it at the age of 5.  But in the end I didn't have to say anything because she said everything. 

"Mom, I know your younger then other moms, but that's because I couldn't wait to see you, & I'm so happy I chose you to be my mommy."

One day we will explain to her how OUR choices are what got her here so early, but most importantly I'm happy we've raised her in a way that she knows how loved & cared for she is, and that she was always wanted! 

 I am so proud of our family, & so super proud & amazed at our little graduate!

(They are fabulous)

They were told to decorate these paper dolls into what they want to be when they grow up...Alyviah chose to be a cop :)

Life's Happenings...

Sheesh it's been forever! I am pretty sure there is a grand total of 2 people who still read this, I figure it will be good for me to look back on one day :)

Logan has almost been at his job at the jail for a year! This has been a great job for him, and he is doing really well!  This job is such a blessing for our little family, & we couldn't be more grateful for all the hard work he puts in!  I no longer work at the gym! I loved the people I worked with but I definitely don't miss the job! I now watch a few kids from my home, which has been another huge blessing! I love the kids I watch & the parents are all so sweet! 
We just had our 4th anniversary in May! We are so proud of that :)

Alyviah Kae turned 5 & is officially graduating from pre-school on Wednesday! She has learned so much from her school! We were lucky to find such an amazing one & I would recommend "FUNSHINE" to anyone! She was also on her first competition dance team! They did really well this year, and she absolutely loved every minute of it. Alyviah is still a huge sweet heart! She is a great sister, friend, & daughter! She is still a huge girly girl!  She hates getting too dirty and loves barbies, babies, dress up etc.

Marley Shay is now 3! She could possibly be the most hysterical 3 year old out there! It is rare to go more then an hour with out laughing at something she has to say!  For example here is a conversation we had last night.

Marley: "mom lyv said she hates me."
Alyviah. "I would never say that marley."
Marley: "shh lyv you didn't hear it."
Me. "hmm..marley care to explain how lyv didn't hear something she said?"

She is a spit fire, and has a definite temper, but she can also be the biggest sweet heart.  She is fiercely loyal to her sister, sometimes I wonder if Marley was supposed to be the bigger sister, because if you hurt alyviah or make her feel bad...watch out!  She is not quite as "girly-girl" as Lyv.  She  LOVES her dinosaurs, horses and anything toy story!  She is excited to start gymnastics this summer, & is still wanting me to sign her up for wrestling...yes wrestling! She will start pre-school in September, and that kind of makes me sad!

This is what I got when I told her to smile...

Lyvs Dance Recital

A couple weeks ago was Lyvs BIG dance recital.  They did a tap dance & then a ballet dance.  There ballet dance was part of the Toy Story and they were the little piggies! It was so fun to watch Lyv dance.  She absolutely loves dancing and loves her teacher Miss Val.  She dances at Dance Showcase, and I can't think of a better place to go to.  There show was so cute, and they are so good to the little girls! 

Tap Dance action :)

Thank You to EVERYONE who came and watched her!! 

She loved having all of you there :)

Day 12,13,14,15 & 16

Sheesh I'm behind.

Day 12:  Picture of the city you live in.  AMERICAN FORK.  Its home. I love it.

Day 13: Your favorite musician and why?  Carrie Underwood.  Saw her last year at Stadium of Fire and loved every second of it.  She has an amazing voice live which lots of singers don't always have.  Also she is BEAUTIFUL. Love country and all her songs :) The end.

Day 14: A tv show your currently addicted to.  Lately I've been watching Lie to Me on Netflix.  I really like it. Bummed I started watching it because apparently they've stopped filming and its looking like its getting  cancelled. 

Day 15: Something you don't leave the house with out.  These little angels.  Its rare for me to go anywhere with out them.  We gym together, we work together, we run errands together, we shop together, we play together.  As Alyviah says it "Mom, we are your life." So true Lyv. 

(Love how they both are closing there eyes.)

Day 16:  Your celebrity crush. I love me some Rajon Rondo.
