mothers day

i love my girls! i love being a mom!

Harper is ONE

Its still so unreal! Harper is one! She came so fast a year ago! And that year went by so fast too! 

For her bday i decided that the theme would be ladybugs. When she was first born my mom made her a lady bug blanket and it kinda stuck as her thing so i just went with it for her bday.

 traditional chair my parents get for the grand daughters . my dad gets it unfinished and then paints it. then my mom decorates it.

 ok, so i had to save this cake. im sorry, i love broulims, but do not buy a cake from them! ever! well just to eat, ok, but dont have them make one! it was a horrible mess! no at all what it looked like in the pic i took in. this is what i did to it. added the ladybugs and her name and tried to hide the creepy ladybug that they did on top. i think it came out ok

 Thank you everyone who gave her gifts! She got lots of clothes (cute ones) and some books and toys! thanks so much!

You are such a cute little girl and a joy to be around! You put a smile on anyones face and you are so friendly. You give the best kisses and hugs! Happy Birthday Harper. We love you so much and dont know what are life would be like without you!

Bearworld and Yellowstone

This weekend my parents came into town for harpers birthday so we decided to take in the local attractions!

first up, Bearworld. Its only 5 miles out of rexburg and it just happened to be a half off weekend

finally able to face forward and loving it

 right next to the gate when we got into the bear part

 i dont have the pics, my mom does, but we all got to pet a baby bear!

 this mini deer/elk thing loved harper and tried to eat her!

Next attraction was Yellowstone national park! its about an hour and a half away from rexburg

 this is my fair picture for this year : )

 dont know what happened to my hair!

 grandma and harper

 dont remember what this one was called, but it was a really pretty blue

 infront of spasam geyser 

 old faithful

 wasnt too spectacular, i think we saw it at a low point. the girls were freezing and screaming so no fam pic. oh well.....

 when we were headed out the highlight of our trip happened. buffalo were running and walking right next to the road. like so close we could have stuck our hand out and touched them!

 we had the door open to the van to take pics. this is what it looked like. i dont think the pic did it justice.

 afterwards we stopped at one of my favorite little places to eat, the frostop in ashton, id. SO GOOD. if you ever go, get the malibu ckn burger with deep fried mushrooms instead of fries. you will not regret it.

My baby is growing up! Adyson had her very first day of preschool on may 1st! tear* lol. she loved it!
