Valentines Decorations

I have this wreath in my living room that looks like green olives. It matches a rug I have in the room as well. I have started adding to it for different holidays. For Christmas I tied a red bow on it and today I added a heart to it for Valentines Day. These pictures are mostly for Cassy, whom I bought a heart for as well. I am just hoping she likes it enough to pay me. lol I also changed the magnets on my star, which I wasn't originally planning on doing today. It was surprisingly easier than I had anticipated. I bought a few double sided papers from Michaels craft store and also a 1' x 2' adhesive magnet sheet. So for my sisters who also have magnetic stars, I think I did it in about one hour. Horray! One project done out of a million that I already had supplies for.

Tator Tot Casserole

Rian loves to eat tator tot casserole. Almost as much as she loves smearing it on the table. I have learned to be okay with that. Babies wash and so does the table. And, of course, you have to take pictures before you clean up!

Rian 16 Months

I took these pictures the other day. Rian wasn't really in the mood to be photogenic, but somehow I managed to get these great shots. I can't believe that she is 16 months already! She has developed such a fun personality. We love having her in our family.

Christmas at the Paces

We had Christmas at our house this year, which was quite a bit different than I am used to. As you can see we had a ton of presents to open. It was so much fun to see Rian play with her toys. Her favorites are her baby grand piano, busy gears, and her rocking horse. I was so excited to get a kodak printer and more cartridges for my cricut! And John got Guitar Hero Aerosmith. So We have been rockin' out to that almost every day. It was good to spend some time with John's family and especially fun for them to see Rian walking around. What a great day! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Christmas Lights

Each year John and I have made it a tradition to go to Salt Lake City to see the lights at Temple Square. We always have so much fun and I am so amazed at the beautiful pictures we get each time. Rian especially loved the lights this year, but it was so cold she spent most of the time in the stroller bundled up with blankets. Enjoy our photos!
