5 is hard

Mylee J on her BIRTH day..beautiful



4 weeks and blessing day


And now 5 years later on DECEMBER 3rd she turns 5! I am still in shock...I love her so much and she has been such a blessing to TJ and I as well to our families! We have learned so much from her beautiful spirit that Heavenly Father so graciously decided us to be her parents. This has been way harder then I thought..I dont want her to grow up, I want to protect her and keep her small and innocent. Mama will try her hardest..to keep the teary level down
MYLEE loves 2: play w/ friends & cousins, color, sing JB, go to Grandmas, dance, go to primary, help mama clean & cook, ski, swim, watch movies, and most of all she LOVES that she is now 5!
Daddy made her favorite breakfast for her birthday: waffles w/ peanut butter and syrup (definitely Tj taught her this liking)


Party at outer limits! Mylee was so happy all day long and could not wait for her party! she kept asking me, "mom am I really 5? or am I still 4?" haha I was like MYLEE YOU ARE 5!! YAY "oh ok so when do i get to go to big school like conner?" she is the cutest..
















I love you big girl, cannot even believe that you are 5!!

The next day was my daddys BDay..dad and mylee always celebrate together!




Happy birthday you 2!

ThanksGivin' 2011

We had a great thanksgiving and we are so thankful for all of the blessings in our lives!Holidays are always very busy for us, we have so much family to see! but we truly do love making the rounds and are extremly greatful for our full belly's all day long! Pre-turkey day was spent with the Helmandollar side for dinner at Cafe Rio, breakfast on turkey day with the Davis side, lunch with the Bringhursts, dinner with the Conlins, and dessert with the Thompsons in Burley...woooh what a day! TJ played in some family football turkey bowls (2) :) We also had a date all nighter and went shopping for black Friday! it was fun to spend some quality time with each other fighting the crowds 12-5:30am!




Friday we went to the lights parade..Mylee always loves the parades!

Halloween

Was like a month ago, but better late then never! Mylee had a blast! it was full of candy, homemade doughnuts, cousins and FUN- by the way she was tinkerbell this year!










Mike and Karissa had their new little baby boy, so precious! And Mylee just adores her new baby cousin!

weekend getaway

a couple of weeks ago we headed down to vegas for the weekend. Originally we were going to boat the whole time at lake mead...who knew it would be snowing the whole way down and in the mid 60s in vegas? so we decided to ditch dragging the boat down and had a splendid time going all over vegas! Luckily we didnt take the boat because we almost slid off the road...disaster avoided!
the snow on the drive down

my dad went to a dental meeting while we were there

THOUSANDS of people protesting about the no jobs and big business!! they walked up and down the strip...escorted by cops...crazies
