~Princesses~

These little ladies got to have a princess party!  All of the lovely maidens were invited to attend.  They invited their cousins, Eva & McKenna, Eva came, but McKenna was sick.  They also invited all of their friends from pre-school and church.  I thought about trying to get all of their dance friends invited also - but that would've been at least another 10 girls!  I just didn't have the space for all of them.  They were so cute getting ready for all of their friends to come over.

They were all so well behaved!  We made bedazzled princess crowns, opened presents, played kiss the frog, and had a sing/dance party.  Eva was the absolute best singer there!  She was adorable.

Taylor & Rylee had to go in to get a couple of shots before they can start Kindergarten this fall.  It was so sad.  Rylee was so brave and went first, well - she cried and wailed and then Taylor started FREAKING out because she didn't want to do it, but I had to hold her down anyway.  It was heart breaking!  When I take Luke & Lexi in for their 5 year shots, I hope I remember to ask for 2 nurses so that they can get poked at the same time.

These cute pictures were of course taken by my fantastic cousin, Amber.  We had intentions to go to Wheeler Farm, but it didn't happen.  After an hour or so drive to SLC (with all 5 of my cuties) I pulled into the parking lot at Wheeler Farm and it started to sprinkle.  I wanted to chance it - but Amber & Sandra pretty much thought I was crazy.  So - we ended up at Hobby Lobby of all places!  By the time we left, it was a crazy downpour!  I'm glad that we didn't attempt pictures at Wheeler Farm!  My mom thinks that I'm crazy for even trying - but if I didn't try, the memories wouldn't be made.

I'm so glad that I have these 2 little girls.  They are so sweet!  I've started to sing, "When we're helping we're happy and we sing as we go!  Cause we like to help mother because we all love her so."  Rylee always says, "MUCH!" at the end of the song.  It's so cute!!  She is full of energy.  She is also full of drama.  She loves to sneak into bed with me and Casey almost every single night.  She is always thinking of her sister.  If she gets to draw, "TAY!  I'm going to draw something!"  If she gets a taste of whatever I'm making for dinner, "TAY!  I'm tasting the cheese!"  If I'm getting her a snack, "Hey...what about something for Tay Tay?"  She also LOVES to pose for the camera.

I've never met a sweeter spirit than bug-a-boo's.  She loves hugs.  One night I was listening to her and Rylee have a conversation  Rylee said she's going to marry hiccup from Train Your Dragon.  They are going to kiss in front of everybody!  And then she is going to be a mom.  Taylor said she's not going to kiss anybody when she gets married.  Just hug them.  She said that mom's kisses are the best because dads are scratchy and Caleb's are too wet.  She will ask me if she can do something and if my answer isn't no, I will usually say, "I don't care"  She will go so excited and say, "Care means YES!!!"  I guess I just need to say yes more.

I can't believe that they are 5.  I can't believe that grade school is right around the corner.  I can't believe that I am lucky enough to call them mine!
