New Adventure

So we have moved again, but this time it's permanent. (: We closed on our house last week.  It all happened very, very fast.  Logan took a new job at a bank.  It came out of the blue, but we are very excited for this new adventure. We will miss you Poky.  We lived there for 6 years. Crazy.   

Lovin her white pumpkin

 Caught a smile

 She loves Beauty and the Beast.  She would watch it daily if she could.  My sweet friend Angie let us borrow this adorable Belle outfit for Halloween.

My sis made this for our house warming gift. I love Pinterest! 

I love decorating for the holidays

Our Family Pictures with Pink Paisley Photography

It was such a beautiful Fall day to be able to get pictures done.  My friend Cassie, who took our pictures had called me up an hour before and said she was in town and had a engagement session cancel and wanted us to hurry over and get some pictures done before the sunset.  I was so excited, but I was running around crazy trying to find something to wear in my sisters closet since we weren't at our home and I hadn't packed much.  But we were very lucky to be able to get in with Cassie since she was booked the whole week she was going to be around. She had everything set up already and didn't want it to go to waste. I was so glad that it all worked out and a huge thank-you to Cassie for making it all happen. And thanks to my Mom and sisters for helping me find outfits. (:

Our Lovely Little {Lady} Turned 2

It was pretty easy thinking of what to do for a theme for Ella's party.  This summer Logan has been taking Ella outside to show her all the bugs and she would always get so excited to show me what she has found. One of her favorite bugs of course is the ladybug.  We ended up deciding to have her party at Bear World since that was where it all kind of began.  We went to bear world when I was 39 weeks along.  I ended up going into labor that same night. (:  So I thought how fitting to take her back to Bear World for her birthday.

For the party all of my side of the family as well as Logan's were able to come. We first drove through the park and got to see all the bears walking around,  then we stopped at the pavilion and ate pizza, ladybug cupcakes and cake.  Afterwards it was off to go on the rides and let the kids see all sorts of different animals at the little park inside.  We had such a great time.  Thanks to my family and Logan's family for coming. 

Thanks to Nana Kinghorn for helping make Ella's ladybug dress.  It turned out so cute.  

It was fun making her cake this year.  I worked a little bit more with fondant than I have in the past.  It actually was a lot easier than I expected.  I ended up making the bottom of the cake and had a girl make the ladybug.  My mom gave me the idea of doing a rice krispy cake so the lime green cake is made out of that and the ladybug was a vanilla cake with a raspberry cream filling- It tasted AMAZING.  I loved it.  

It was great doing the birthday party at Bear World because they give you a deal where every person over 3 years old gets in for half price (2 and under is free), then they do signs up everywhere with their name and you get a group picture taken as well. I felt like it was the perfect place to take them.  All the kids loved it.  

The cupcakes were easy to do as well.  I used fondant for the ladybugs body and some of the heads were whoppers or black icing for others and then I cheated and bought the sunflowers.  (:

Everywhere that Ella went the lamb was sure to go...

 We went to visit my family a while back and they have some neighbors that have a farm and a ton of cute animals, so we decided to take Ella.  She was loving every second of it, especially the little lamb.

The lamb kept following her all around the farm

We also took Ella to the spray park.  I didn't know how she was going to react to it with it being her first time going, but she ended up really liking it.  She was wanting to go down the slide with the big kids.    

I am so behind on posting so there are a ton more pictures to come
