My birthday

Not to much exciting for my birthday. Everyone thinks thought that you need to go out and party for your 21st birthday to have a good night. But in reality you don't. Its just as fun being sober and being able to remember your night. We went out to dinner with my husbands whole family. It was a nice night. We had a great dinner of course at my favorite Mexican restaurant. It was oh so yummy. Then of course they sang happy birthday to me and embarrassed me. But it was nice to have Scott, Keri, Jaxin, Stockton, Jessica, Brian, Maci, Kernan, the other grandparents (Keri's parents), Kolby, Harper, and me. So we had a big group of people to celebrate with.  

Wicked

I didn't get any pictures which was a bummer but we couldn't take pictures. But we went to watch Wicked the day before my birthday. It was a very fun experience. I would love to do it again. It was so fun to watch and see how many people they had in the play and how well they all did in their parts. I would so recommend going and watching it. It is so worth it.

It was a girls night out minus Harper. Her and daddy had a day to themselves. Everyone that went included Keri and her mom, Jaxin, Jessica, Maci, and me. You could say McKenna was there because Jessica was still pregnant with her.

Our 1st Anniversary

This post is going to be a short one. But our first anniversary was on February 4th. Its hard to believe that we have been married for a year. I am so blessed to have met and married such an amazing man. For our anniversary dinner we went out to dinner. It was nice to be able to go out and celebrate out marriage. We went to a mexican restaurant that is hands down my favorite as of right not. Haven't found one better that I like. We had the rest of the family come with us. Then we saw some friends there and they also joined us for dinner. It was a good night.

Harper Turns 2

Harper's birthday finally came. My husband surprised me and flew my mom down for Harper's birthday. I was so happy that she could be there to celebrate. To bad my dad did not come down. I felt horrible that my dad didn't come. The part i felt even more bad about was that my mom flew out on my dads birthday. That's the only bad part about Harper's birthday being born the day after my dads birthday.

So for Harper's party we were doing a rainbow theme. It was fun. I made the cake for her.It was time consuming. But so worth it. Only had one piece left at the end,

My mother in law decorated for Harper's party. I wasn't allowed to help. So we took my mom to the mall and let her experience the Disney store.

 I loved how my mother in law decorated for her party. Some of it I knew what she doing and some of it I had no clue. All the decorations tied into the rainbow theme.

Singing Happy Birthday to Harper. She would not blow out her candles though. I was kinda bummed. She does not like being in the spotlight like that. She didn't want to eat the cake either. She only wanted the ice cream.

Then we had to move to presents quicker then I was wanting to. Harper and her friend Kendal got into the presents and opened the one that I was gonna leave for last.

Harper had a really great birthday this year. I am glad we got to spend it with a group of wonderful people.

Harper's Birthday photo shoot

Harper's birthday was coming up. So we thought to do a photo shoot. It was fun. A nice experience. I got to take the majority of the pictures. Which was amazing that I was able to do that. We went to the same place out picture were took for our sealing. 

Here are some of my favorites. 

We should of started the photo shoot a little earlier so that we could of got more photos with better lighting I think. But they turned out so good. I love all her facial expressions. She knows exactly what to do when it comes to getting her pictures took. She loves it. 

We were able to get some pictures of all of us. I just love how she loves getting her pictures took and how she is always happy in her pictures. 

Toy Story 3 on ice

This year Harper got to experience watching Disney on Ice. They put on Toy Story 3. Harper loved it. It sure kept her attention. She was so entertained.

She watched the whole thing. Loved it. It was fun going there. With everyone. I hadn't been to that kind of performance since I was in Girl Scouts. When we went and watched The Lion King.    

Harper loved it and she got to see her favorite characters. She loves Minnie, Mickey, and Goofy. They came out and did a little performance during a break. It was fun and I would love to go watch more.

Christmas 2011

This years Christmas was pretty nice. Unlike last year I got to spend it with Harper and not having to work. She sure enjoyed waking up and opening her presents. She was how you say a little spoiled this year for Christmas.

Rocking her new shorts while getting another gift to open

Harper got so many gifts this year. We opened all the presents from us and my family at our apartment and then we went and opened more at my in-laws house that night. Harper got a lot of baby dolls for Christmas along with a baby bed for her dolls. Kolby and I put it together for her on Christmas eve and got all of her gifts around it before we went to bed.

Christmas morning when we all came downstairs Harper was not to sure what to think. She didn't just run right to the gifts. But she is only 2 so i can see why. I am looking forward to opening gifts next year with Harper just like this year. Hopefully she will be more into opening the gifts up and running to them like most kids on Christmas morning.

Only thing missing this year for Christmas was my family. That is one thing that I am not used to at all. Not having my family around for holidays is hard. I know I am going to have to get used to not having them around for holidays but it is not that easy so far.
