the basement is done...yeah!
*** WARNING-DON'T READ THE BEGINNING OF THIS POST IF YOU GET WOOZY BY BLOOD***
We have been working on our basement for the past few weeks. We hired a wonderful contractor who was fast and clean. After they were done Bodi started the finishing work. That took a little longer than we wanted but it is finally done. We got carpet laid on Friday morning. That evening when we were putting the furniture in Sophie started screaming. There was blood all over her foot. We realized that she had cut her foot open with a carpet cutter that the carpet guy had left. He had left it in the windowsill and Laynie got a hold of it. She dropped it on the carpet and Sophie found it with her foot.
We knew it was bad right away so Sophie and I headed to the doctor.
She was so brave! She didn't want to see any blood or anything so I had to sit on her and hold her legs down for 2 hours.
In the end she got 7 stitches in her toe. She should be all better in a week!
After all the drama we finally got the basement put together. Some of the biggest changes were the addition of the storage room. Thanks to Bodi and his great idea we finally have a place to put our stuff! 
The next big change was the removal of the wall and door. I was totally against this idea but now I love it. It is amazing how it opens up the whole room.
I have wanted to do wanes coating and mustard walls since we moved in. I am so excited to finally have it done!
Last but not least is the entertainment center. Thanks to my BFF Sister Abbey and her furniture ADD we got this amazing entertainment center that fits perfect!
We are so happy about how it turned out! Come on over...lets watch a movie...play games...whatever!

Laynie's Birthday Celebrations...
Laynie has been talking about her birthday party for months. Bodi and I didn't really what to do a big party so we decided on the zoo. Laynie loves the zoo and was super excited to go. 
When we got there she opened the map and told us where to go. We followed her around everywhere she wanted to go!
We were lucky to have lots of family come with us.
After the zoo we went to Red Robin for dinner.
Laynie was super excited for her GIANT piece of ice cream cake. She was niche and shared with everyone!
On her actual birthday she woke up to her presents first thing. She is at such a fun age that she gets so excited about every little thing!
She got her traditional candles in breakfast.
She has been asking for a unicorn birthday for months now. We didn't do that so I made her a unicorn cake. She loved it!
We went up to Nana's to celebrate with the family.
Yes the cake had lots of frosting!
I think she liked it!
Love you my big 3 year old!

Introducing the newest member of...
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My sister in law Jen was baptized yesterday. We are so happy for her and Bodi's brother Blake! 
Here she is getting ready to get dunked! It's a good thing she practiced because she had to be baptised twice! She was extra blessed!
I was so excited that Jen let me be in charge of the decorations. I told her that we couldn't have a party without decorations. I made more paper lanterns for the table. My favorite part was the quote tags. I used lines from different primary songs. They turned out cute!
We had so much yummy food!
Jen and Blake are so loved! They had a huge turn out!
We love you Jen...Congratulations!

14 days of Love...
I love to celebrate Valentines Day. I always get so excited to get my decorations out and to think of all the fun things I can do for my kids. We celebrated our 14 days of love again this year. I love watching the girls get excited to look in their valentine bag to see what the activity of the day will be. 
We sent out these Valentines to all our family.
We tried to have a Valentines Day picnic but the wind would not cooperate. The kids did love their heart shaped pb&j though.
To end our 14 days of love we had our annual romantic family dinner. I made homemade heart shaped pizzas with fruit salad, green salad and sparkling cider.
The girls loved it!
To end our romantic dinner we had a dessert of chocolate dipped marshmallows and strawberries.
On to the next holiday!

Mommy and Baby Tea Party...
Sophie has been talking about her party for months. She had lots of ideas but ultimately wanted a party just like last year. Of course I couldn't do that! She has loved her American Girl Bitty Twin that she got for Christmas so we decided to do a Mommy & Baby tea party. I had a little bit of fun putting this together. (lets be honest...this party was for me too!)
Here is our spread!
And now for the table... I headed to the DI to find lots of tea cups and saucers. I even found the cute tea pot.
I used my new silhouette machine to make these lanterns.
Sophie was so excited! She got a new outfit for her baby that morning.
Here cute friends came dressed for a tea party.
Before tea time we had to put their babies down for a nap.
The girls were so cute during the tea party. They kept giving each other cheers and acting very proper.
We made bracelets for the Mommies and the babies. The girls did such a great job beading.
Sophie finally got to open her presents. She has the best friends that gave her some super cute things.
And now the cake!
The party was a success. The girls all had a fun time...especially Sophie!
