Playing Dress-up

Of course, having three girls, there will always be "dress-up" time at our house. Avery and Hayden love putting on dresses, or whatever else they can find, and dancing around the house.



Avery loves to climb on her bunkbed too, so wearing dress-up clothes and climbing at the same time was just too much fun for her.
Hayden and Avery love dancing together. It is actually more like Avery pulling Hayden around in circles until she falls down, but whatever it is, they both enjoy it.
Okay, Hayden has been in this kissing phase lately, where she kisses everyone and everything in front of her. And she not only has to kiss you on the lips, but she also has to grab your face and pull you in to plant a big smooch. Luckily, her big sister Avery likes kisses too. I'm glad I got this "sisterly affection" on camera, because a large portion of their time together consists of fighting over toys and pushing each other. (I'm sure that doesn't sound familiar to anyone else out there!)

Did I mention Hayden loves shoes? She is going to be a shoe-a-holic someday. She especially loves princess shoes and anything with heels.
It was really fun watching them play together in their dress-up clothes. It brought me back to being a little girl again and transforming into whatever costume I dressed up in. It also reminded me that I need to do these things with them more often, because some day they will be too old for this kind of stuff and I will wish I had done it more.

Kiley's Baby Blessing

Last Sunday we blessed our baby Kiley and it was such a wonderful day. We had so many family members who came to support us and Kiley. She wore the same blessing dress that Avery and Hayden wore, which was kind of special.


This picture above is of Brandon's family who came to the blessing. All of his family was there except for his sister Heather and her family who live in Washington now. It was so great to see all of them though.
This is my aunt Karen and my parents who also came to the blessing. My sister Lynndsey and her family were there too but had to leave early. They also blessed their baby that day as well, so we were ward-hopping last Sunday. We really appreciate everyone who made the effort to come for the blessing. It's so nice to have so many family members live close by - at least within an hour of us. It was such a spiritual day and it reminded me of how blessed I am to have three healthy daughters, an amazing husband, and such wonderful family members on both sides of our family who love and support us. Thank you all again! (Now I get to scrapbook these pictures in Kiley's new album - yea!)
