Pretty Girly

The past couple Sundays I have been dressing Hailee up and having ALOT of fun

playing with her hair. She has the most wonderful hair ever! I am hoping that her curls will stick around. They are perfect because they will curl up when I scrunch and wet them down. When her hair dries it is pretty straight. Her hair reminds me of my sisters. Not overwhelmingly curly, but enough to take advantage of when the time comes!

My little girl is going to be 1 next Sunday and I am completely amazed at how big and mature she is getting. I see her understand what I tell her. She is a little angel all the time, but like her mom she can push it a little too much. Can't wait to see what her life will bring!

More Easter FUN------ CHOCOLATE!

Our Easter Sunday

I love Easter. My favorite events from this Easter include:

Spending the weekend with my mom and watching her play with Hailee.

Playing the Wii and beating Curt at boxing- my favorite!

Going to 2nd ward and remembering the beginning of my church membership.

Spending time with my totally amazing Armstrong clan at Grandma's!

Wearing capris and flip-flops in the NICE weather! Shopping by myself with my sweetist gal-pal Hailee! Bearing my testimony of Christ and remembering his sacrifice and love for me!!

Eating Strawberry Shortcake.

Hanging out with Nic and aweing at his interest and knowledge in politics.

Visiting our 14 horses and listening to Hailee talk and sing to them.

Playing American Idol on the Wii at Cathy's- I tore up the competition- just ask Simon!

Enjoying a whole day with Curt and not having to worry about him working! He took all of Sunday off and we both loved having him home with us!

Seeing friends at the Easter Egg Hunt and noticing how old our kids are!!!

Fairy Princess Crown

I have been looking for fun, creative, and cute crown templates I could use to make crowns for Hailee's birthday. I found this paper plate design and tested it out. They are SUPER cute and I am way excited to make them. I am thinking of putting greenery and bugs on the boys' crowns. I am sure you can all figure out the design on your own, but if you need help let me know!

Sorry if the "on-the-head" look is a bit hard to take in... my model is not very cooperative!

Spring Shopping Results

So much has happened in such a short time for us. First... After our computer went caput we purchased a new hp laptop. The school has a great financing program and so I was able to get a pretty great computer!!! We love the new computer... so much faster... nicer picture... fun tools... the WORKS! Well I also downloaded my digital photo program, and the computer came with photoshop. I have been having a lot of fun with my pictures (the few I have left:()

I am on "Spring Break" since Friday and again on Monday!!!! WAHOOO!!!!!

Hailee and I went spring shopping on Friday and had a blast. She loved the stores, but pretty much screamed from store to store. I am avidly looking for a new carseat for her. She wants to be a big kid and look out now! I have a couple picked out, but they are never in stock!

While shopping we found super cute size 2 baby shoes at Target. A few weeks ago, Cathy and I searched out like 10 stores for size 2 baby shoes to no avail! Then I go to Target yesterday and JACKPOT!!! I limited myself to two pairs, but they had a bundle of more cute pairs.

We also bought Curt an Easter Present!!! Yes, we are the brand new owners of a Wii. Almost everyone we know has one, and now so do we. We set it up last night and played.... I am so excited because I can now dominate at bowling. Those of you who know me, know I have a thumb disadvantage when it comes to real bowling. I am open to a Wii bowling challenge anytime!

After shopping, playing, laughing, and dancing.... (oh and Curt works!) we are pretty pooped! Hailee girl is great and is becomming a toddler right before our eyes. They really do grow up too fast!!! I am currently planning her 1st birthday party. I think it will be fun to invite some of our friends esspecially those with babes to wear crowns, play baby games, eat cupcakes, and enjoy the comming of spring. We are all so lucky to have such beautiful angels in our lives and I can't wait to see what comes in our future!

So GREATFUL for the BLOG!!!!

I just want everyone to know how very upset I have been lately. Our computer crashed!!! This is such a terrible event, but we KNEW it was comming. I had been telling myself, "get those pictures on a jump drive!!!"

Pictures from before Curt and I were even married! Pictures from when Hailee was brand-brand-brand new and when only Curt took pictures. I am so upset. Currently our computer is with one of the smartest computer-dudes we know and he is going to try to extract some memory. I am praying that it comes out o.k.

This is a warning to everyone!!! Get copies of your pictures NOW!! Yes I know you are all probably more responsible, but for the 2 or 3 of you who have yet to do so..... get it done!!! From now on all of my pictures will be put on a jumpdrive, and on a CD in a case to save and retrieve if there is a flood, hurricane, fire, stock market crash! WHATEVER!!! I am going to have back-up!!!
