The Toothless Wonder

Sidney lost three teeth in three days and they are all in the top front of her mouth. There not the first to go, she has lost 2 prior but these look the best. She has three more loose teeth but we thought we had better leave those in for a bit so she can at least eat. Anyways the pictures are the day she lost the second one and the third day when she lost the third one (she kept making faces). The tooth fair now has us on speed delivery...

So we are now use to life in little Pocatello, we had a party for Hadley on her birthday Jan. 30 and I will try to get pictures of it from my mother. This past friday was mine and Allie's birthday so we had a party with her little friends. She wanted a Strawberry Shortcake cake so that is what I made. It took a while but it looked good when it was done. I have also attched some random photos of the girls growing these last few months.

Pocatello Part VI: We. Have. Arrived.

So after a hiatus from blogging (a side-effect of, well, my laziness plus lack of internet service plus settling in at a new place plus an increasingly scattered mind), I'm back. And the great news (not that Tyler blogging isn't great news. I mean, c'mon...)? After a year of commuting to school from one place or another, we're finally in Pocatello. Now instead of driving an hour plus to class and work, it takes just five or so minutes to get to campus. And if I'm feeling green, I can even ride my bike (which I plan on doing as frequently as the weather permits). Sure this house is smaller than our last. Sure Pocatello's a bit strange (but, hey, so are we). But it was either this or life on the street because our last rental got sold out from under us and we had to leave. So why, we figured, not make our way south?

Now we're calling free (though I'm sure that won't last for long *knocks on wood*), the girls have new friends just next door and potential friends in the ward/neighborhood, and we're closer to our Utah families. Oh, and? I won't have to commute anymore...and just as winter sneaks up on us. Happy, happy day.

Go along with Birthdays

My Father also had his Birthday and I tried my hand at a second cake on my own this time. He loves to golf so he got a putting green cake. The golf balls did not work out that well but the grass did, (thanks for the tip on that Taryn), it did take me several hours just to do that grass though. All in all it worked out well and we had a great party. Even my sister Bri in China got to Skype in for the fun. Love you dad hope you enjoyed your day!

Speaking of Birthday's

My Mom had her birthday party in August and I wanted to do something fun so my dear sister-in-law Taryn helped me make a cake. (By the way thanks a ton Taryn couldn't have done it without you). The fun part is that when we were little she would leave notes for us on the white board at home and at the end she always drew a picture of a flower with a caterpillar on the left and a butterfly on the right. It was her "with love" signature of sort. So I made it into a cake with love!! Get it? Anyways I think it turned out cute! Love you mom!


The caterpillar, grass and lady bug are
made up of cupcakes!

Sid's Birthday Pictures

So here are the pictures of Sid's party, thanks for sending them to me Brit. She had so much fun and we were all tired at the end of it.

Play Hard, Crash Anywhere

Hadley worked so hard helping mommy clean the house and playing that she was tired enough to sleep here. Don't worry I moved her to her bed as soon as I took the picture!
