Lucy is 3!

My little lady is 3 years old! She is 31 pounds, 37.5 inches tall. These are some of the cute and silly things she has said in done over the past year.

3 years: 

- I'm back on the game!

- mom I want Icecream with cake, gummy bears and book of mormons 

- she is obsessed with cake. She makes cake out of Legos and all her toys. She plays pretend that she has cake. She always asks to eat cake. She loves cake.

- what do you want to buy with your birthday money Lucy? "Um carrots, broccoli and donuts". I convinced her other wise ;)

- thank you for the lovely dinner mom

- your majesty

- guess what? I love you mom

- she's been on a kick of saying, mom you're so beautiful, you're so pretty, good job mom!

- mom look! that's where you and dad got married, I want to get married in the temple. I ask her who do you want to marry? She said hey big boy. Do you want to marry Jake? Yes! But he doesn't listen to me or dance with me. Do you want to marry Paxton? Yes! He listens and he dances with me.

- Paxon and graham can wear dresses. I tell her boys don't wear dresses. They can wear Handsome dresses

- mom I'm so proud of you!

- Lucy saved her brother from falling down the stairs today. I was in my room getting ready when Lucy yells mom Lincolns going down the stairs and I run to her protecting him from going head first down the stairs. She's amazing and such a good big sister!

- lucifer is scary. You know the cat on Cinderella dad?

- all day every day has been saying, guess what mom? I love you 

- as Dan was taking Lucy to the bathroom at chuck a Rama she yells, "I just have a wedgie!" Over and over again

- Lucy thought it would be funny to doorbell ditch her own home.

- she is 31 pounds, 37.5 tall

- As she is eating seeds, mom these are only for me and daddy. These are not for mommies or babies. 

- at the dinner table- this is tangy? Ooo let me taste. Mm your right.

- she is really into making "houses" lately where she gets every pillow and blanket and puts them in a pile in the room and calls it her house. 

- she is really into doing hair and giving makeovers. 

- in her prayer the other day she said thank you that mommy and daddy can be quiet.

- it's gone already! I disappeared it with my magic!

Lucy's Princess Party

All Lucy wanted was a princess party for her birthday. She was so excited for it! Her girl cousins came and celebrated with us! We had a princess lunch first consisting of Ariel's Fishy Friends, Aurora's Pillows, Tiana's Heart Sandwiches, Snow White's not so poison apples, Chips Chips, Olaf Noses, Jasmine's Jello, Princess punch. The girls loved it.

After we played some princess games. I made sure to tell them to behave like princesses and to share and take turns. That went out the door the moment we started playing the first game. We played Merida's Target Practice, Snow White's poison apple game, Aurora's defeat the dragon, Rapunzel's Tangled up in Yellow, Cinderella find the glass slipper, and Frozen Puzzles. At the end of the games, I sent them downstairs to dress up as princesses. 

Then we had cake and ice cream and opened presents. Jamie made this AMAZING Rapunzel cake. Lucy loved it. She had a great princess party!

Wood Connection: Valentines Heart Plaque

Hey there! It's Jamie from Savvy Sisters. I'm pulling out my valentine decor already and was really wanting something to go on this stand that I have. And I found this adorable plaque from the wood connection! I added some scrapbook paper and burlap flowers and wah-la! This is how I did it:

Materials:

- Large Natalie Plaque

- Heart Overlay

- 2 pieces of Scrapbook paper

- Paint- White and Tompte Red (I have a few extra pictured that I didn't end up using)

- Burlap (I didn't end up using the polka dot material or the ribbon that is pictured) I got from Hobby Lobby

- Sand paper

- Foam Brushes and small paint brush 

- Hot glue

- Wood glue

- Scissors

- Pencil

The Plaque: 

First I traced out the scrapbook paper. Since the 12x12 paper wasn't large enough, I decided to cut off an inch from the top and bottom and use it just for the middle of the plaque. After tracing the curved edges, I cut it out. Next, I sanded and painted the top of the plaque white. After that dried, I painted the edges with Tompte Red. To get the small edges, I used a smaller detail paint brush. After all the paint dried, I applied the scrapbook paper with wood glue. See this tutorial for how to apply paper to wood. 

The Heart:

First I sanded and painted the heart overlay tompte red. While that dried, I started on my burlap rosettes. Go to this tutorial to see how to make those. They are very easy and all you need is wood glue. Don't burn yourself! After making a bunch of those of all different sizes, I hot glued them to the overlay. I squished them super close together so you wouldn't see the overlay. After that I used wood glue to glue on the heart to the plaque. There you have it!

Happy Valentines Day!

Girls Night

It's not too often that me and these girls get together but when we do, it's like nothing has changed! Michelle brought her little Eliza and so Lincoln and her hung out. Lincoln even decided to kiss her! 

Lincoln @ 10 Months

Some things about Lincoln at 10 months:

- Lincoln had his first kiss!

- he is starting to dance. He loves his music table and will start dancing when a god song comes on.

- he gets so excited when I come home from somewhere. I love it. Hes even more excited than when there's food. He will crawl on me and give my wet slobbery kisses. I love it

- He thinks it's hilarious when I say no!

- He bonks his head in everything. Poor kid. He has bruises everywhere on his head.

- he stood up by himself for a couple of seconds

- he bounces when he hears a beat.
