Breckenridge Vacation- June 2013

The first week of June we took a vacation and headed to CO. It was weird to see snow still on the mountain tops. The girls had a great time just collecting rocks, leaves, dirt and playing at the local parks..All the things they really liked doing, we could have basically done in AR for way cheaper! ha

Nat loves her some Paris!! She plans to live there one day and design fashions (aka dresses) and salon hair..(I am just quoting her, that how she speaks...)

This bridge totally freaked Nat out, but Elia pretty much hung half her body out the window loving every minute of it!!

Taking a time out for a snack and a downward hook'em horns!!!BOO TX!!!

My girls love to paint, they enjoyed a rainy afternoon crafting!

Easter 2013!!!

OK.. This entire post has nothing but bad pics. No one seems to want to look at the camera, or smile..blah..blah.. oh well....

Nothing gets one into the Easter mood like playing with play dough...I can't remember..maybe Nat had Good Friday off from school and this was a time filler? hmmmmm.....

Scott's parent's came by and brought some Easter Goodies....I have no idea why Elia Rose has no pants on.....

Easter morning!! Look at those bright eyes!!! Elia and all her "treasures" she needs to sleep with.. Seriously....there is like NO ROOM for her in her bed!!

Our main focus of Easter, is that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and resurrected on the 3rd day. It is important to Scott and myself that is the actual reason we celebrate Easter, that this is the only reason Easter exists....With that being said, we do the Easter Bunny stuff too, we just don't make too big of a deal about it.

I searched two cameras and my phone and the following are the only two good (I use the term loosely) pics of the girls in their Easter dresses. The first one is before heading to church the second one is after lunch. Elia really loved that magna-doodle, it's in every pic!!

I love these dresses, I scored them for $12.00 each at Dillard's. Apparently, they are actually Christmas dresses, but they are sleeveless and made basically of tulle. I hope they still fit for Christmas though...they would look really cute with black sweaters and leopard tights....

Natalyn's 6th Birthday!!

OK. Natalyn's bday was in Feb. Here are the party high-lights.......

Her theme was "Somewhere over the Rainbow", not Wizard of Oz-ish, but simply because "rainbow" is her favorite color.

I made a rainbow double layer cake. I was a little scared dumping all different colors of batter in the cake pan. It did not look appetizing at all. But once it cooked, it looked like this....so much better...

I decorated the cake with skittles ( so you can taste the rainbow! ha ha) and twizzlers. I will note that after I decorated the cake, I put it in the refrigerator, not the best idea. The twizzlers hardened in the cool temperature and never fully recovered. I had to pull them off the cake before cutting it....

Natalyn invited all the girls in her class, plus her BFF Mia. On the invitations, it was suggested to wear your favorite color to the party. Mia's favorite color is Disney Princess Belle. Hey! If Natalyn's favorite color is rainbow then Mia's favorite color can be a Disney character!!

I set up a little table for Elia and her BFF Libby. They were able to be part of the party, but not really be part of the party...ya know what I mean?!

I made the paper pom poms.... love them! They are super easy and totally cheap if you make them yourself!

Read Mouse Paint, then......

we did an experiment turning primary colors into secondary colors, thus making all the colors of the rainbow......hey! parties can be educational too!!

The birthday girl blowing out her candles!!!

I Love you......my Miss Natalyn Joy!!!

Valentine's Day 2013!

Ok. Here's a quick re-cap of Valentine's Day. This is part of my

"I didn't blog at all for a year so I am totally post binge-ing" series.

As you all are well aware of. If Elia Rose is awake, she on the move, and usually up to no good. That explains the blurry pic.....I have about 8 thousand more, but I will spare you.
