3 Years Old

Aspen turned 3 years old two weeks ago on March 8th. She had a great Birthday! A few days before we went to Boise to meet Brocks mom and sister, who were there for work meetings. We got a hotel and celebrated. She had a great time, we went out to dinner,swam,played at planet kid,opened presents and ate a cool cake! What more could a girl ask for? Then on her actual birthday we just had a small family party with cupcakes and presents. This year was cinderella's carriage made by Grammy. It was a big hit. It turned out so cute. Aspen blowing out her candles at the hotel party!Grammy and Grandpa got her a Tinkerbell chair. She loves it, she carries it around the house. Plus it is purple which is a huge bonus to Aspen. Two happy kids at Aspen's 3rd Birthday party.
Aspen is full of personality. She is so much fun and is always making us laugh, well except for Cash. He is a little scared of her right now but I am sure that will change soon. :) She is very strong willed but also very sensitive to others feelings. The girl loves to dance and sing every where we go. Sometimes I just wish I could turn down her volume but I think she only has one volume, LOUD. :) Never a dull moment when Aspen is around!!

This is one of the gifts she got from mom and dad. She loves ponyville, it was funny because before she opened our presents she went to the store with money from mamaw and papaw and picked out a little ponyville movie theater and a car and scooter for the ponies. I knew at that point I did a good job picking out her gift since that is what she picked out for herself. Now she has the ponyville all set up in her room and plays with it often!She got some face paint from Aunt Brittney and family and loves it. This time I helped but was told exactly what to do and what color. There have been other times that I haven't helped but it still looks pretty!! This stuff is awesome because it washes off so easily. When she is done having it on she just goes in the bathroom by herself and washes it off. I thought I wouldn't of been such a big fan of this present but it turns out it is not as messy as I thought! Yeah!

Pictures....

It has been almost 1 whole month since I have posted. So I thought I would put up some random pictures.Here is a common look we get from Aspen. If she doesn't want you to look at her she just puts her eyebrows down and we know to back off or it could get a lot worse! Also in this picture you can see Aspen has earings! They are so cute on her and she just loves showing them to everyone. I had her ears pierced when she was a baby but she pulled on her ears so much they got infected and we had to take them out. So we tried again, she was so brave. Kamden on the other hand kept running out of the store with her hands on her ears saying "I can't mommy, I can't watch this." She was worse than Aspen, thank goodness I got hers pierced when she was a baby!Don't ask me! I never know what this child is going to do next. She went and got the cone and the stool and just sat there. It sure doesn't look to comfortable to me.Here Aspen is sleeping so peacefully. There are some nights she just doesn't stay in her bed. This was one of those nights. The last time I caught her she was sneaking into the bathroom to get this headband she said she couldn't sleep without!My sweet Kamden finally got a snowman. She asks all the time if we can go build a snowman. I feel like I always put her off. Finally she went and did it herself, I just ran out to help stack. She was so proud!Cash is now 7 months old. He is sitting up by himself but sometimes decides to throw himself backwards really hard so we back him up with pillows. He has 2 bottom teeth and his top ones look like they could break through anyday. He is still not sleeping through the night which is getting really old. Each time I am ready to start letting him cry it out he has been either teething or sick. Hopefully soon we will get there. He is still such a happy smiling baby. I just love this little boy! Here he is with some bling around his neck from his sister. Don't mind Kamden in the back with her hand down her pants getting in itch! This picture and the next one I just love. Is he cute or what? Look at those eyes! My really good friend Aleah went through the temple this past month. It was such an awesome day. I love this girl!
