Happy 1st Birthday Pacen! (and catch-up)

Well, the news is official. We are moving to Arizona! Our house is up for sale and now it is a waiting game. But, in the mean time life goes on....

Our Little man turned one years old on November 12th, I can't believe it! We had a froggy birthday party to celebrate the big event.
Yes, I had to torture him with a froggy hat! He won't do whatever I want forever, so I might as well get it all out of me now!
The froggy cake that I made, it was so big but so much fun to make!
The kids playing get the frogs on the lily pads...
Abbie playing a game...trying to get the fly off of the frog tongue!
Another game....shake that sticky frog off of the stick...very funny to watch!
Pacen hanging out and enjoying himself.
I'm a big boy and I feed myself now!
Opening presents time!
Mmmmm.....cake!
"You want me to eat this Mom?"
Happy Birthday Pacen! Our family would not be complete without him. He is a special little guy and I feel fortunate to be his Mom.
Go Cowboys! Dad wasted no time putting this on now that it fits. Thanks Aunty Amber and Uncle Lehi!

The tradition continues....the ugly on mustache on Pacen's Birthday!
The kids are growing so fast.
We had a little monkey for Halloween and a beautiful Cinderella!

DisneyLand

"DisneyLand is the best place ever, Mom and Dad were't lying!"
Well, after counting down the days with Abbie we finally went to DisneyLand and I have to say it was probably one of my best vacations I have ever went on! It was all for Abbie and she loved every moment of it. Everyone that we said she would see, she did! (Pacen we didn't forget about you, when you are three years old we will give you your dream vacation!)
We're here finally!!!
Abbie waiting in line to meet Sleeping Beauty!
Abbie's princess photo shoot in Cinderella's coach!
Abbie also got her nails and make-up done.
Abbie getting her hair done up like a princess in the Boutique.
Abbie all finished her Princess transformation at the Bibidi bobidi Boutique as Sleeping Beauty. Abbie changed her dress to Cinderella's because the Sleeping Beauty dress was too big so they had to pin it and it was bugging her while she was getting her hair done so she decided she wanted Cinderella and it was a good choice because she wore it two days straight and looked beautiful!
Abbie in the Royal Dressing Room trying on her first dress Sleeping Beauty.
Abbie meeting Princess Belle in the gardens outside the castle.
Abbie meeting Rosetta the garden fairy in Pixie Hollow.
Abbie meeting TinkeBell in Pixie Hollow where we had to shrink small so we could meet them!
I had to get some pics with the boys and again, Pacen was captivated with TinkerBell! He wouldn't look away for a second!
Abbie met Jessie in the parade...Abbie was dancing on the sidelines so good that they came and got her and she danced in the parade with all the characters! On film too...
Abbie meeting Buzz Lightyear. She screamed when she saw him. We were the last to see him before he had to go and so he held Abbie's hand and walked with her till he had to go...its on film!
Abbie had wanted to meet Buzz so bad and we got to the last day.
Sleeping Beauty was the first Princess Abbie saw in Disneyland, how appropriate! Her face was absolutely priceless! "Ahhh! Look Mom, its Sleeping Beauty!!! Its Sleeping Beauty!"
Abbie met Sleeping Beauty in her garden outside of her castle.
Snow White giving Abbie a hug good-bye.
We found Snow White in her garden by her wishing well.
Abbie saw Peter Pan walking around so we chased after him and Abbie yelled Peter wait! and he stopped for a picture and Abbie was so excited because she loves Peter Pan right now. The Peter Pan ride was her favourite.
Abbie and Princess Jasmine from Alladin.
Abbie meeting Princess Ariel from the Little Mermaid.
Abbie talking to princess Ariel.
Pacen was captivated with Ariel, we could not get him to look away from her!

Abbie told Cinderella that she looked just like her and Cinderella taught her how to twirl around and curtsy!
Cinderella Was the last princess that we had to see and we saw her just before we left the park. Abbie was so excited to meet her.

Living room Renos


So, it only took me a week to put these up?! But, here are the pics of the living room Mom... There are two things not finished....no pictures on the wall yet and my gorgeous accent chair! I haven't found one I like yet and I am considering refinishing this one so that Spencer's chair will live on with us forever. That old chair has been good to us!
