Happy Birthday Lily! 4 Years Old!

I have never had another kid so excited for her birthday...Lily has been talking about her birthday for the past 6 months....everytime she saw something at the store she would say "Mom, can I have this for my birthday?"  And for the past 2 months that is all she talked about and finally the day has arrived!  Happy Birthday Lily!

Princess Party...all princesses were invited to lily's castle with pink carpet rolling down the hallway and the trumpet being blown everytime a princess came....Her servant Kelsi painted princess masks on all guests and her servant Ashley painted their nails.  Lily's sorcerer, Emma helped the little princess find a dress and accessories for the party!  After dress up they danced, then then sat down for a real tea party with cookies and punch, followed by cake.....the little princesses then played "pin the tiera on princess lily" and then opened presents!  Too much fun!.....(Check out Kelsi in the King's costume!)

Happy Birthday Lily!





Seminary Graduation

Years of Seminary....3 years of early morning and 1 year of release time.....WOW!  Just have to thank all the seminary teachers of ashley's! You were so instrumental in helping her testimony to grow and her love for the scriptures have become such an important part of her life!  She never misses a day reading her scriptures and I am often "schooled" by her in that respect!  For Example......She had a Gymnastic meet this year in Logan but it was at 8:00 in the morning so we thought we would drive up late the night before and stay with Aunt Kay and Uncle Rick in Tremonton so we didn't have to get up so early....we stayed up late visiting and I was exhausted when we woke up early the next morning to get ready.  I was wo touched when I walked in her room to make her bed, there was her Book of Mormon on the floor!  Even though she needed her sleep and had to get up early in the morning to compete it was more important for her to not miss a day and read her scriptures before she went to bed!  Hence I was "Schooled" by ashley!
