Look Who Turned 3!!!

Ok so I have been working on getting this posted for quite some time now. Shaylie turned 3 earlier this month. It was so much fun! We started out the day with some pampering, she got her hair all done up like a princess and we painted her toenails. Next we went to Joe's work so he could give her some balloons. And then we did a little shopping to get ready for the party. As we were leaving the store she said "Oh, wait mom we forgot to get me an outfit." So she picked out the dress she is wearing. She absolutely loves being pampered. She is such a girl in every sense of the word!




Showing off her beautiful pedicure and her new flip flops from grandma Durfey. (Shaylie took this picture, she did a pretty good job)

She loved helping me decorate her cake.


All of her cousins came to help her celebrate. (except for Kingston, we missed you!)

Alexis, Grandma Rich and Sammy.

This is Joe taking us to the gun show just before lighting the candles. (yes we are all impressed)

I think the Happy Birthday song is one of her favorites! She sings it daily. I love the smile on her face in this picture, it warms my heart.

Shaylie waits all year long to put her face in the cake. She asked me the other day if she could bite my cake after I blow out the candles on my birthday. She cracks me up!

I think this girl got everything she wished for and then some!

Thanks everyone for making this day special for Shaylie. We really had so much fun!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Makeup Already?

Shaylie decided to do her own makeup the other day. She did a pretty decent job I thought, all except for the lipstick. I think she was trying to make her lips a little fuller by coloring out side the line. She may have gone a little overboard.




What a girly girl!

Christmas Morning!

I just love Christmas! Its my favorite time of year. This is Casen's first Christmas. As you can see he is super excited and can't wait to open presents!

I think he was still a little groggy. He was the last one up :)
Shaylie had so much fun opening all of her presents.
She was so good to help casen with his presents and made sure he was having fun as well.

Shaylie and Joe rock'n around the Christmas tree. Rock on Shay :)


The after math.

Thank You Santa for the super fun Christmas!

My little Dancer

In December Shaylie had her very first Dance recital! She was so excited to dance on the "big stage." And we were excited to watch her. Her class was Suzy Snowflake. It was so cute. Her whole class did a fantastic job!! Although, I have to say Shaylie did the very best :)

Just after finishing her make-up. Im not sure but I think she LOVES getting dressed up.


Hanging out back stage with her class and all the other dancers waiting patiently for her turn to dance on the "big stage."


Isn't she just the cutest little Suzy Snowflake?

Casen really enjoyed watching the show with Katie. What a good little boy he is.

Jordan and Katie congratulating Shaylie on a job well done.

Great job Shaylie, we are so proud of you!


After the show Santa came so all the kids could tell him what they want for Christmas. Shaylie wouldn't sit on his lap, but she made sure she told him what she wanted. Silly girl. Maybe next year she will sit on his lap.

Happy Halloween!

This year Shaylie was Cinderella for Halloween. She was so excited to put on her beautiful dress so she could dance like Cinderella does. She wears it daily and dances around the house any time she has it on.


Here is Casen and his cousin Kingston, they are 8 weeks apart. Casen wasn't lucky enough to get a costume this year (sorry buddy) but Kingston sure looks cute!


Cinderella (Shaylie) and Prince Charming (Joe) collecting candy at grandma Durfey's Trunk-or-Treat


Ninja (Isaiah) and Cinderella had so much fun trick-or-treating togeather. Aren't they cute? What good freinds they are!

Then we met up with Bell (Ellie) and Snow White (Addie) at grandma Rich's house. They had so much fun going around the block with Shawn and Angie.


We had lots of fun this past Halloween!

Welcome to the World!

So I know I haven't been the best blogger, and I probably never will be. There have been so many events in our lives that I wanted to post, meant to post , and never did, but this is one that has to be posted if I am going to continue to blog.



Casen was born Oct. 23rd just after midnight. He was 6lbs. 11oz.


He slept so soundly the first night, but has had is days and nights mixed up ever since. I think he is getting a little better at night or I'm just learning to tune out all the little noises he makes at night while we are trying to sleep.

Casen's first time in his car seat. I think he likes It. (The camo hat is special for dad)

Shaylie was so excited to get her baby brother home so she could hold him. She is such a good big sister she loves Casen so much! She told me that she wouldn't let the monsters get him, and she makes sure to squeeze him really tight when she gives him hugs. She loves to rock him and sing him lullabies. We are so blessed to have Shaylie and Casen in our family.

It's been an eternity since I last blogged. Life is just crazy and I'm terrible at making the time to keep up on my blog. Anwyay, we're keeping really busy with the clocks and I thought I'd post a few of the clocks we've done in the last little bit. We're working on a website that will be up shortly - www.foralltimeclocks.com. It's under construction right now but keep checking, it will be up shortly. Enjoy!
