Baby #2

We are very excited to have another baby in our family. We had fun telling our family through Skype that Paisley is going to be a big sister!

Thunder Over Louisville

I really wanted to go to Thunder over Louisville this year since we did not make it last year. I knew that this year it was going to be a struggle to get Richard to take me but I managed to get him to go! Thunder Over Louisville is the largest firework show in the world. I thought it held up to its title. It felt like we were being bombed. Paisley had a blast watching the airshow, the boats, and the fireworks. Every time an airplane would fly past us Paisley would yell "Grandpa, Dodger, Abby."She thought everyone was on their way to see her. Me and Richard both said to each other that Paisley is a little party animal. She was dancing all night to the music and cheered for all the fireworks.

Happy Easter

Easter was so much fun this year now that Paisley is old enough to understand what is going on a little bit. I signed her up for the YMCA Easter egg hunt. She was one of  the younger kids in her age group but she did wonderful. I was a little worried because they would not let parents help so I thought she would get one egg and be done. She surprised me though, she did exactly what she was suppose to do and she got 10 eggs.

 

 

Paisley really loved the Easter bunny. After she found all her eggs she wanted to show the bunny everything that was inside them. 

Easter morning we got up before church to have Paisley looked at her basket. She thought that her treats were the best. I had plans to do an egg hunt after church because we had 9 am church but while me and Richard were getting ready for church Paisley decided she was going to do her own egg hunt. I came out of my bedroom and saw she had more than half her eggs in her basket already. That night we had the missionary's over for an Easter Dinner.

Happy St Patricks Day

The Leprechaun made it to our house this year and dropped of green treats in our shoes. That night we had dinner with the Christiansons and the Boyacks. We had corn-beef and cabbage. It was very tasty. Paisley learned about the color green today. We have the color checked off!

Date night out without Paisley.

Valentines Day

 I thought it would be fun to have a valentines day party for Paisley. I thought it was going to be a small party but it turned into a really big thing. We had 30 friends over in our small apartment. Paisley was a little unsure about sharing all her toys but she really liked getting lots of treats.

 I made candy kabobs for Paisleys Valentines. They were a little messy but they turned out really cute.

 Paisley is sitting next to her friend Clara getting ready to decorate cookies.

 These are my friends Lauren Hicks and Brittney Barrett.

 I decided to do a candlelight dinner and Paisley was scared to death of the candle. She kept telling me scary scary scary.

 Richard was really sweet. He surprised me and Paisley with a gift in the morning. He got me some flowers and Paisley some clip on earnings to go with her crown. Paisley loves to look at herself in the mirror.

 This was Paisleys favorite part of the whole day. Digging into her treats!

Pink Eye

Paisley woke up with pink eye. I showed her what she looked like in the mirror and she just stared at herself like she was a little bit scared. She really did not like the eye drops but she would do it if Richard did it, and she got a treat. 

Christmas in Utah

We had lots of fun in Utah visiting our family. We stayed pretty busy over the holidays.
Some of the fun things we did were going to kangaroo zoo, making holiday candy, shopping, going to look at Christmas lights, family parties, playing in the snow, going to the tree house, attending Tera's mission farewell, and celebrating Christmas. We could not have had a better Christmas.

Me and my mom took Paisley to kangaroo zoo. She had fun going down the big slide with me.

We are going to miss Tera so much, but I know she is doing the right thing. I am glade that her farewell was while were visiting in Utah.

We had lots of fun at all the family party's we went to. This was the first year that the Wangsgard and Smedding Christmas party's were at Dave and Natalie's new house.

Paisley loves playing with her cousins. I owe a big thanks to Lexie for keeping her entertained.

Grandpa Embry was so sweet to take off work to take Paisley to the Tree house. I know it was a lot more fun because he was there with us.

Each Christmas I make Christmas candy with Richards family. Making Christmas candy makes it feel like Christmas.

Grandma Embry really wanted to let Paisley try a cookie so she and Paisley made egg-less cookies. Paisley really enjoyed the cookies.

This was Paisleys second Christmas. She understood a little bit more what was going on this year. She got spoiled to death by everyone. Santa gave Paisley a new baby doll and Me and Richard gave her a crib to go with the doll. Paisley loved her new Elmo stocking that Santa gave her. Grandma and Grandpa Embry gave Paisley a vacuum, mop, and broom. Grandma and Grandpa Wangsgard gave Paisley a dog that barks and walks around.

It snowed quit a bit in Utah when we were visiting. Paisley learned all about the snow. One night my Dad tied a sled onto his truck and pulled me and Paisley around the neighborhood. Snow was flying in Paisleys face and it was really cold but Paisley kept saying more, more more!

Paisley did not want to take a bath one night so I decided to go and get her cousin Abby to get in the bathtub with her. When I put Abby in the Tub Paisley did not know what to do. She soon decided that is was fun though.
