"I guess I'll just play with tools since they are taking FOREVER to build my princess bike!!!"

Thank you for the big girl bike Kitty Cat Grandma and Papa! I LOVE it!!!


I'm officially 3!!!!



We were lucky enough to have Auntie Billy and Uncle Steve stop in twice over the past week on their way to and from Zions. The girls absolutely adored the two of them and followed them around the whole time they were here. We had a such a great visit with them both times and wished they lived closer!!! We had a fun time celebrating Emma's 3rd birthday with you both! (I still don't think that bike would have been put together yet if you hadn't helped:))The bike was a huge hit Kitty Cat Grandma and Tractor Grandpa! Thank you! We will miss our visitors and we love you guys and thank you for taking the time to spoil the girls with hugs and kisses!!!!

Happy To Be THREE!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG GIRL!!!! Emma was so excited to get bigger that she she has been telling everyone she is going to be eight! Mama doesn't want her to grow up that fast! She is such a sweetheart, with a fun loving personality! She is going to be a catch when she gets a little older (MUCH OLDER:),,,back off all you cute boys!!!! We LOVE YOU EMMA!!!!!

Kindergarten Graduation!!!!

Maddisen graduated from kindergarten today! Congrats sweetheart! We are sooo proud of you and all that you have accomplished this year. The graduation was wonderful with beautiful singing, a slideshow and smiles from all! Maddisen is sure going to miss her teacher, friends and all the fun things she did in kindergarten. She loves learning and loved going to school EVERY day!!! The other day we were eating lunch and talking about school. Maddisen turned away as we were talking about her teacher and turns back with big crocodile tears rolling down her cheeks and says, " But Mom, Mrs. Christensen has my heart and so I need to stay in kindergarten forever with her!" Well of course I started crying and we just held each other and talked about how much we love her teacher. WAY TO GO MADDISEN!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

School Dance Vegetable (Festival)

Maddisen's kindergarten class participated in the school dance festival today. Maddisen told us last night that she was so excited about dancing at the dance vegetable, that she didn't know if she would be able to fall asleep! She was up and ready to go early this morning and of course was adorable!!!! Her class performed a Hawaiian dance. They all danced their little hearts out and I was a proud kindergarten mom!

Gorgeous Girls!

We love our Daddy!



She is just yummy cute!!!! I could eat her up for breakfast, lunch and dinner!



Maddisen has grown into such a beautiful girl, she makes my heart melt!

I am fully aware I am gushing over how beautiful my girls are,,,but I'm the mom!!!! How could I not gush over them, they are gorgeous!!! :)

Triple Birthday Bash!

Emma is just amazing at puzzles! She was so excited to get a new one from Grandma and Grandpa. She had it whipped out in no time!


Tonight we had a family birthday party for Emma, Maddisen and Dad. We all had fun celebrating together as a family with Grandma and Grandpa here to join us! It was too funny because Emma is turning 3, Maddisen is turning 6 and Keith will be 36. Too funny! The Richardson family has a birthday tradition that we have continued to partake in every birthday. After blowing out the cake, the birthday boy or girl (regardless of age) has to take a bite of the cake, designating the piece of the cake they want. Usually someone is holding the cake, and somehow the cake seems to rise as the person is taking a bite! Yes, you guessed it,,,,,cake in the face! We didn't have to ask Emma twice,,,,she was in for seconds! Maddisen was all over the swipe and lick!Of course, Grandma and Grandpa spoiled the two girls and we had a great time with them!
