A SUNBEAM!!!

Cupcake in her Princess SUNBEAM Crown after her first Sunday in Primary!

I cannot believe that our little Cupcake is in SUNBEAMS already!!! I have been meaning to post about this for a few weeks now and just am barely getting around to it...So the first Sunday of the year rolls around and it was the first time in about a month that we had been to our ward for church, between baby blessings, homecomings, and kids getting sick. So after sacrament Cupcake is just begging to go to Nursery as usual and so Daddy went to drop her off. He comes back and says to me Cupcake is not in Nursery and not even thinking I say well where did she go...lets go find her!!!...Daddy quickly replies by saying She is in Primary now! haha Ok hello Mother of the Year award! She has been three now for a few months but all the three year olds go into Primary when the new year begins! I felt so bad for not remembering or even telling her or preparing her...but being the little socialite and easy going girl that she is none of that was even needed! She did great and loved every moment of it! She saw me in the hall and kept saying Mommy I am a princess SUNBEAM and her teachers and some of the Primary leaders told me that she just kept telling everyone that she loved them...I think she likes being a SUNBEAM!!!

Of course she had to pose in her crown...oh and don't you love the boots (Daddy was on shoe duty haha)

What A GREAT Day!!!

My wonderful Hubby turned 31 last week! We kinda kept it casual and got together with friends and family a few times! Thanks to everyone for celebrating with us...So I thought I would give the hubby a little shout out and let him know why we love him soooo much!

~There She Is...Miss America!!!~

I was so lucky this past week to go to Vegas with some girlfriends for the Miss America Pageant!!! Our darling Miss Utah, Christina Lowe, who is a former Miss UVU like me and my friend Carly (who I went with). Carly and I have had the privilege of helping Christina over the past few years in her pageant life...Carly was her back stage stylist all week at Miss America and I tagged along for the experience! This is just some of the fun pictures we took while there...in random order...Christina did Amazing and made it to the Top 15! We were so proud and I am so grateful for all my wonderful family and friends who helped with my kids and my incredible Hubby who let me escape for 5 days to have this once in a lifetime opportunity!!! Love you guys!
