I am back!
First of all we bought a house! We moved to a house in Taylorsville. We left our little apartment in Orem, and upgraded. It is so nice to not have neighbors upstairs that play their music too loud, or neighbors downstairs with their barking dog. The girls have a backyard to play in. It is so nice to say..."Girls go play outside while mommy makes dinner".
The unpacking part is hard for me. I don't know where to put anything. We now have 2 more bathrooms, another bedroom, and a living room. The other bathrooms were easy , same with the bedroom. The living room is full of boxes still. Don't even get me started on the wall hangings. I just can't figure out what to do with it all. Maybe I will have a wall hanging party to get ideas and input on where to put things. As soon as I get everything unpacked I will post pictures.

The Happy Couple
Lydia is seriously the cutest sometimes. She has a lot of stuffed animals. Some are her favorites, and they change from time to time. Lady is her favorite right now. She has been her favorite for a while now. In fact Lady the dog isn't really even Lydia's she stole it from her sister, Ally. Ally didn't really mind so we got her a different stuffed animal from the Disney Store! Our favorite place.
Yesterday Lydia told me that Lady and Clifford are getting married Saturday! She was very excited about this. She came up with this idea all on her own. A lot of the day Friday she was dressing Lady and putting jewelry on her. She wanted her to look beautiful for her wedding day.
The first picture is of the happy couple. Lydia married them this afternoon, and there was a big stuffed animal party following. The picture below is of everyone who is in attendance. My sister, Stacey was also there. She was taking the picture. All of Lydia's stuffed animals and pony's are in the picture. She had such a fun time with this. She really does have quite an imagination!

Lydia's Birthday.
I haven’t blogged in 2 weeks. A lot of things have been going on. The biggest was Lydia’s Birthday last Friday!! She turned 5. I can’t believe I have a 5 year old. She had a few requests for her birthday. She wanted a rainbow cake, to eat dinner at “Old McDonalds”, and to go to The Disney Store. We did it all and had a fun day.
I had the idea to color on the windows with Crayola Window Markers. Steve did all the windows, mirrors, and even the fish tank. We also hung streamers outside her door. As soon as she woke up she was thrilled to see the streamers, and then her name and the number 5 all over the apartment. It was decorated just for her.
The Disney Store was so great! They sang to her, gave her a crown and a pin. She loved it!
Here are some pictures:
Let me tell you about this rainbow cake. I swear it took Steve and me 45 minutes to make it. That is without the baking time. We had a white cake and separated it into 6 bowls and used food coloring to make them the rainbow colors. We carefully spread the batter into the cake pan making sure not to mix them with any other color. It was a process, but it sure made a beautiful and yummy birthday cake. Lydia was so happy with it. It sure made it worth all that work!
