Best discovery ever!

So I made a discovery today that I couldn't be more happy about!!

One of the only ways I post anything, on facebook or anywhere else, is from my phone. David surprised me with an iPhone in October and I am totally loving it! It allows me to do everything i need to do online or otherwise without having to sit down at the computer. Between client emails, editing, designing, book keeping, and the list goes on, I feel like I'm always on the computer. I just couldn't justify spending more time away from my family to blog. Even if it is my journal that I cherish. So, I just decided that I'd rather live in the moment then worrying about if I was able to blog everything fast enough or not.

Now for the discovery...
There is an app for blogger!!
Why is it such a big deal? Well simply because I can blog quickly and easily from anywhere while on my phone. The pictures are already on my phone. They don't need to downloaded from my camera or resized or edited. I just push a button and they're posted!

I can't wait to get this blog going again!

Madi will turn 4 in a month! She started preschool last sept and is learning more than I ever could gave imagined. I love watching her blossom into such a beautiful little lady!

Marlie is still my little ray of sunshine. She will be 17 months in a few days an she just started walking last week! It took awhile for her to get up and going but now she's up and running...literally! I could chase after her all day and never tire of it.

Here's what we've been up to these past few months in no particular order :)

Madi was what she called "a purple princess" for Halloween. Boy did she play the part well! She is quite the little princess. Marlie was a little flower. It was perfect! Just something I pieced together from different things here and there. What a doll she was!

We have been enjoying lots of time with Daddy since his day job has been ridiculously slow. Not so great for the wallet, but it is so fun to have him home with us during the week!

Two big things happened!
Marlie said her first word "grandpa!" Who she absolutely adores and I coils be more tickled about it :)
AND..Madi got her hands dirty in the pumpkin slime and liked it! Which is a huge deal if you know what a girly girl she is. Seriously though. Funny girl.

I lost some weight! On my head that is ;) I didn't even realize how long my hair was but I don't miss it one bit. I love my short hair!

I had a birthday! It was a pretty great one too. Filled with family and fun. 26 has been good to me so far :)

David and I got all fancy and went to his company Christmas party. I love getting all dressed up and we don't do it often enough. It was fun!

We spent Christmas in Cali with my family and Marlie went on her first carousel ride. She loved it and was laughing the whole time (despite what this picture shows haha).

Speaking of Christmas, we went to pick up my Christmas, birthday, anniversary present from Costco a few weeks after Christmas. I am in love with my Vitamix! I use it once if not twice a day and it's wonderful!

I've used it to make everything from smoothies to soup and ice cream. Love it!

We got over a foot of snow for about a week in Jan. and it was a blast! We played and played until we were frozen. Then David would make us a cozy fire so we could defrost :)

David and I celebrated our 6 yr anniversary on Jan 21st. I woke up to these lovely flowers and a sweet note from my love <3 David had to work all weekend. So, we kept it simple and went out to lunch with the girls :) it was a very great day!

Most recently, Madi started ballet class and she is quite the dancer. Let me tell you! She absolutely loves every second of it!
We had a full week of sunshine last week and it was wonderful! We were all so happy! We played outside as much as we could. It is raining once more today, but we'll look forward to our next few rays of sunshine!

Well my hand is getting a cramp from laying in bed and typing on the phone. Not to mention it's 1am, but oh how good it feels to blog again!

Easter at our place...

...was so much fun!

The girls woke up to the goodies the Easter bunny brought them on Sat. morning.

We decided that Saturday is "Easter Bunny Day" and Sunday is Easter. We had been talking about why we celebrate Easter all week with Madi and for FHE we had a little lesson about the resurection and the events that occured during the week leading up to it. She really loved that FHE and it made me so excited to make sure I really drive home the reason for Easter.

I wanted her to also have the fun, magical side too. It's so wonderful to see her eyes light up when she walks out and sees that something magical has happened. In this case it was the Easter bunny who made that magic happpen on Sat morning.

David made us a breakfast fit for queens (he is such a great cook)! Then, we all got ready for some fun in the sun!

It was by far the nicest weather all year on Saturday and we took full advantage of every bit of vitamin D we could get!

We headed over to a fun little country style village were they were handing out eggs at the different shops. I really love it over there!

Can I just say how wonderful it is to live so close to family. We love that we see them every week! Wouldn't want it any other way :)

Marlie is one animated little turkey.
She makes the most adorable faces and this is my most favorite of all!

David playing on his toy :)

After dinner we went to a play put on by one of my primary girls. I'm bummed I didn't get any pictures, but it was very cute. Madisyn loved it!



On Sunday we went to church, and then headed over to grandma's for dinner and an easter egg hunt!

Madi could see the egg that was hiding under the rug, through the siliding glass door. haha
