Birthday girl

Addy actually is one now!! She  is such a sweet baby:)  I love watching her explore and  hearing her giggle all the time. It is so easy to make her smile and laugh..she isn't too cuddly though and is always wanting to crawl and follow her sis around. This kiddo does not says no to food and loves berries,meat,banana pancakes,cheese,etc. She is  getting some  big teeth in  and already has  10 teeth....looking forward to watching her grow more this next year and  start walking and talking:)

This is how the party started..

 Three princesses

 Maya took a bite of cupcake as this pic was snapped

 Much happier..

Maya has been running and jumping and twirling nonstop so she definitely has been feeling better:) It has been so nice going to the parks again and even addy enjoys digging in the sand.

Went out to celebrate 5 years! It was funny though because we had reservations at 6:30 and then we were home by 8:15...I guess u could say I was scarfing my food down very romantically since I usually eat with the kids at 5pm...then  the dim lights made me want to go to sleep...so no time for after dinner drinks:)..maybe next time we will do a brunch instead and I'll be more lively..poor brad

Both kids woke up when we got home..of course..

And my two lil huskers:

 Always happy

 Maybe Maya is a husky..she wasn't thrilled with the outfit..

poor kiddo

I prepared Maya pretty well for having her cast cut off..I had an electric pedicure file and said it would just touch her cast but never touch her leg..she was cool with that explanation and asked me to just take her cast off now..I said the doctor actually had to:) nice try kid..
. so at the appointment she  just sat on my lap when the guy cut her cast off..then when he said look your leg is like a polar bear's when he pulled apart the cast she started crying and said  "I'm just a little girl"..then when the cast came off she started crying even more and I am pretty sure it's because  her leg didn't feel normal at all..she kept her  leg bent like the day she hurt it..the doctor came to check it out and she started shaking and said she had to go home because she was so chilly...I tried to comfort her but she wouldn't calm down..she even repeatedly told the doctor to go away and that she wanted to get out of here...I had never heard her say "go away" to anyone before..so it was another experience at the doctor's and she is still not convinced that doctors are actually super nice and just want to help her..then at home she refused to even try stand on her leg..so much for playing at the park and walking around again..it will take time for her to feel comfortable:( and she has to wear a knee brace for two weeks..poor kid has a peg leg now...

And Ashtyn loves putting her feet on my face...

Miss this big smile:

Wedding bells

What a trip! Brad and I got to go to Jackson hole to celebrate  with Elise and Warren..it was incredible! It makes me smile because even in high school I remember Stiegs saying she always felt like Jackson hole was home and that is where she ended up meeting her hubby after all these years..totally meant to be:))such a fun,beautiful,lovely  wedding and  these two lovebirds are going to  have some amazing adventures together as husband and wife:))) love these pics:

Maya and Ashtyn got to hang out with Gung Gung and Popo and they didn't even seem to miss us..but when we dropped off my parents at the  airport  and drove away maya said she felt very very sad and she missed them....poor kiddo.. She totally had tears in her eyes too..

Counting down the days until Maya's cast is off..she has managed to wear a hole in the heel of it...

And some happy pics at sushi with my parents before  they left and the park:
