Lily's 4! A perfect Princess Party!!


 This year for Lily's party she was set on another Princess Party!
I found some great ideas on Pintrest, but they were going to be a lot of work and cost a pretty penny once all was said and done. So, I looked up hiring a "Real Princess" to come to our party!
We were able to invite 10 little princesses!
(From left to right... Kloe, Kaitlyn, Kate, Payton, Bryly, Ava, Lily, Isabelle, Braylyn, Stella (she didn't want to be in the picture) and Ellie couldn't make it!)
 Playing "Pass the Wand" (hot potato) while waiting for Ariel to come!
Tyson was such a helper! He was in charge of the music and games while we waited!!

 Lily was soooo excited!!

 Grandma Wendy, Uncle Tate, Nana and Papa came to watch the festivities and when Papa came in the room Lily jumped up to give him a hug and all the little princesses joined in the hugs! Papa was one popular guy!!

 When Ariel arrived!

 The girls chatted her ear off, but she was so good at getting them back on task!
 The girls were in awe of her and listened very intently as she told her story...
 and sang Part of Your World.
She also taught the girls manners, how to dance, and how to sing!

 at the end they all got a princess crown!

 Doing their princess pose!
and their silly pose!
 
 Lily and Ariel!
(each girl got their own picture with Ariel!)


 Macy wouldn't go next to Ariel without Mom!

 Hugging Ariel goodbye!

 We did cake and presents after Ariel left!
Here is Lily's Princess cake!
 Lily blew out the candles in the middle of the song!
 We sure love our Princess Lily!!
This was the best birthday I have ever done!! ;) (tooting my own horn!!)
I didn't have to do anything except take pictures!! And it cost me about the same as other parties we have done!!
Happy Birthday to our big 4 year old!
We sure love you!!
Ariel taught the girls a princess birthday song and they sang it and danced to it! Enjoy!!
Cute Lilyisms...
She says...
"are you yeady?"
She prolongs bed time as much as she can coming out of her room multiple times.
When she is done, she is done!
She has her high pitched prayer voice and
her low pitched play voice.
She adds ed to things... "I got hurted!"
You ask her what she is doing or what is wrong and she says "anything" instead of nothing!
Silly Lily!!

Preschool and the girlies!

 Here is Lily on her first day of preschool! She is getting so big and LOVES that she gets to go to school!
 I am doing a neighborhood co-op preschool this year it is only once a week.
She still has another year of preschool next year!!
 My kids can't handle the sun! I guess next time I will take the pictures inside! Cute little Macy had to join in with her big sister!
 Cute Macy Bug!
 I try to run errands with just Macy while Lily is at school, but I do for sure while Tyson is at school! The less kids at the store the better!
But this day at Smith's Lily was my little shopper!
She did everything all by herself!!
 These are just random pictures! Lily wants me to take her picture all the time!!
 Little rag-a-muffins in the backyard!
 Lily loves to take pictures too! Nice flower shot!
 Me fixing Macy's hair!
 Me and Macy behind a plant!
 And the girls relaxing!
Tyson is gone from 8:10am till 3:45pm so it is me and the girls almost all day long!
We miss our Tyson though!
 The other night the sunset was so pretty just lighting the mountains and the valley was dark!
I love the view from our back deck!

Stuff!

 Yummy! Creamies!!
 Stella, Bryly and Lily enjoying Creamies!
(Stella hates having her picture taken!! :))
These are two of Lily's friends that live on our street!
We love where we live!!
 Macy LOVES spaghetti!!
She licks it out of her bowl!
 The camera was out so Lily wanted a picture in Tyson's shoes!

 and a picture with the Utes football schedule!
 Last Saturday we packed a picnic dinner and headed to Snowbird to eat it, but it was Oktoberfest, so we ended up at Alta!
It was so beautiful and cool!
 The crew (minus me!)
(Lily loves the camera!!)


 Oh, there I am!
 Lily took this picture with her finger!!
 Tyson's turn to be photographer!
Macy is behind Lily!
 Lily's turn again!
 Tyson's again!


 Beautiful!
 Tyson's first day of 1st grade!
(He had allergies. His eyes were itchy and the sun hurt them!)
but he sure looks handsome!
 Walking to the bus stop!
 The girls get a nice wagon ride up hill to the bus stop!
Then after Tyson gets on the bus, we go for a walk around the neighborhood!
 This is Lily and Macy's new favorite way to relax and watch TV! I love it!!
That is what we have been doing lately! (at least what has been documented on camera!!)

Rain, Boondocks, Dance Parties, Macy's 15 months, and more fire!!

 Cute Lily watching TV with all her "friends"!!
Too Cute!
So we have had a couple good summer rain storms and we have found out that Macy LOVES to play and dance in the rain!
We already knew the others loved it, but Macy refuses to come in when we are done!
(there is a video if it works at the end of this post!)
For Brandon's company party we got to go to Boondocks!
Tyson rode in his own bumper boat and Brandon and Lily were in another!
Tyson LOVED getting others soaked and Brandon and Lily were good at getting soaked!!


Tyson and I, then Lily and I rode the slick track and they loved it!
It was a fun day with the family!!
 So this was the Pinyon fire from my front door!
Brandon has been out of town, so I was praying that we wouldn't have to evacuate!
The winds started heading it East and it started to sprinkle so we were OK!
My Sister called to check on me because her husband is a firefighter in Roy and they had some trucks that were being sent to Herriman and that usually means they need extra help saving stuctures! Luckily it wasn't for us!!
 This was when the fire started heading East!
We had an ashy rainstorm and it sure smelled like smoke, but we got to stay home!!
 Macy had her 15month Well Baby visit yesterday!
Her stats are:
Height: 30.9 inches....50%
Weight: 23.3lbs....75%
Head: 19.3 inches....92%

She had to get 3 shots and we also had her get her flu shot, so 4 total.
She was miserable when we got home. She refused to walk or bend her legs her pour muscles were so sore!
This was her last night. I went to the kitchen to get her some Tylenol and she fell asleep standing up on the ottoman! Poor little thing!

If the other video works, the kids and I have been having dance parties!
They LOVE to dance to the song "Call Me Maybe"
It is too cute!
