Cinderella

We have put Laney to work, hoping she would finally earn her keep.

At first she was afraid of the dust buster, but once she overcame the loud noise, and realized what fun it can be vacuuming things up, she will wander around the house cleaning things up until the Dustbuster's battery dies.

Museum visit

We visited the Bean museum at BYU. Laney loves learning and we had a lot of fun spending time together as a family. Check out some of the action!
Laney is just wandering through the animals, minding her own business when she comes across the Rhino!, the Hippo!, the porcupine! and then .... THE FERN!!

Warning: May Cause Tears

So I was trying to download pictures from out trip to ID last week for grandpa's funeral, but our drive was full (Debi knows what I'm talking about). In transferring pictures to DVDs, I found this little gem.

We'll Miss You Grandpa!

Laney loves to sing!

Laney has learned quite a few songs in Nursery. I went with her last week as they needed help, and was surprised at all the songs they sing that Kim and I didn't know about. She was more than willing to sing one for the camera:



She starts Sunbeams this week, it's hard to believe! She is growing up so fast.

Christmas 2009

Christmas 2009!

We woke up at really early this year, I think it was around 9a.m.! Laney was excited to receive a trunk full of fairy dress up clothes from Grandma and Grandpa Perry.







Kim received a wonderful gift from Santa that will allow her extra sleeping time:
We made sure Santa was well fed with some sunflower seeds and "smarshmellows"We had breakfast at my folks (Parry's) and enjoyed spending time with the family.

We hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas as much as we did!

Princess Party

Our neighbor Ellie had a birthday a few days after Laney's, so we had a combined princess party for the two of them. The house was packed and the party was jumping!

At the end of the party, the kids were all dancing/swinging around and Laney ended up getting a black eye. I love the irony of seeing Laney in a tutu with a black eye--how cute is that!

Laney's family party 2009!

For Laney's first two birthdays, we just did something small at home (she won't remember them anyway, right?). For her third birthday, she got the royal treatment--a family party with cousins AND a friend party. We did the family party on Saturday. It was so fun! This kids played like crazy and we all chowed down on some ice cream cake. Then all the cousins went outside for the grand surprise--for Laney's present from the family she got . . . drumroll . . . a princess bike! I can't believe she's big enough to pedal a training wheel bike. Sigh.
