Princess Prep Academy

Riley got to attend the Princess

Prep Academy. The Miss Syracuse

pageant contestants put on a fund raiser

by pampering girls like a PRINCESS.

Hallie, Riley and Preslie

Riley got her nails painted.

Then she got her hair styled, which

she loved. They even put on a little

eye shadow.

Then the girls got to meet the Fairy God Mother.

She told them a story and then the girls got

to enjoy a tea Party with cherry 7-Up in stead of

tea of course!

The group then decorated cupcakes.

And were taught how to walk like

Princesses by Miss Syracuse herself.

They played a few princess games.

And then they were officially a PRINCESS!

I thought it was a cute fundraiser. Paige

said she wanted to do it with Riley next year.

The girls each got their own tiara and made a cute

wand to take home.

Hubble 3D

We had a fun date night with out the kids.

We drove down to SLC with Brandon's

brother Jeff and his wife Rachel. We

had dinner at costa vida and then,

Brandon's parents took us all to the Clark

Planetarium in Salt Lake to watch the 3D

show, "The Hubble".

It was was an amazing show. For anyone who doesn't

think God is the supreme creator in all things

is crazy. It was all too much to take in and

comprehend. It makes me so much more grateful

for God and his love for me and my family.

3D Dorks!

Paige's Pictures

Paige got her 4 year old pictures.

I thought they turned out so cute!

Paige's 4th Birthday

Paige's 4th Birthday happened to be

on a day she had preschool.

She got to bring a poster all about her

and a treat to share for her birthday

to school. She wanted to bring cup

cakes.

As a family tradition we asked Paige

what she wanted for her Birthday dinner.

Of all the things she could have picked, she

decided Pancakes. So as boring as they are

Brandon tried to make Pancakes a little

more exciting by Spelling out "Happy Birthday" and

the number "4". Paige got to eat on the red special

plate.

Paige is so funny. She wants syrup on

the pancakes and more on the side to dip

additional syrup in.

One of Paige's friends, Riley Tidwell brought her

over a tinker bell lantern and M&M's

for her birthday.

Paige has such good friends!

After dinner Grandma and Grandpa Gardner

took us all out for ice cream at Arctic Circle.

Paige waited all day for her last birthday present.

Paige got the 3 Musketeer Barbie Balloon Carriage.

We Love you so much Paige!

Emery's Baby Blessing

Emery Ann Hale

Emery had her blessing.

Brandon was asked to give the blessing.

He was more nervous to bless Emery

then his own girls. He did a wonderful job.

I'm so very proud and grateful for him and

the Priesthood.

It was a wonderful Day and we almost

had the entire family all together.

I can't believe how are family has grown.

And it keeps on Growing.

Paige's 4th Birthday Party

I usually like to buy my kids a birthday outfit

each year for their birthday.

And we make a fun day out of it.

Just Paige and me. She loved

trying on new clothes and modeling

them in the mirror.

This is the final choice for her birthday

outfit.

That day we also went to Zurchers party

store to pick things out for her party.

I loved how she found the wedding section

and spent a while looking at all the cake

toppers. She liked the temples the best!

Yeah!

She also picked, "Hello Kitty" for her

party theme.

We had family over that night for her birthday.

I usually make an elaborate cake but this year

wanted to make it simple. Paige didn't notice

and she had a good time so maybe that is how

all my cakes will be in the future. Specially now

that I'm going on 4 kids soon!

It was nice to have something other then

Princess be the party theme.

I didn't even know Paige liked

"Hello Kitty".

Paige had too many presents to count and she

enjoyed opening them all. What a good family

we have to come to her party and get her such

fun gifts!

Aunt Katie and Uncle Spencer

It surprises me at such a young age Paige

loves Pistachio nuts. Grandpa Gardner always

has some at his house that all the girls love to

eat. But they finished them all and Paige wanted

more so Grandma and Grandpa Gardner

got her some for her birthday and she

was thrilled!

Paige got money and a card from Great

Grandpa Gardner and Grandma Lois.

I love how intent she is listening to Brandon

read the card. So cute!

HUGS and more HUGS

Paige was a little nervous to hug

Grandma Lois. She has never meat her since

just us adults went to their wedding the month

before.

One of her gifts was a Zhu Zhu pet.

She was very Happy!

Paige had such a good time she couldn't control

her excitement!!!

My brother threw Paige in the air I'm sure at

least 20-30 times. I bet he was sore the next day.

Every time Uncle Mickey comes to visit the girls

always ask him to throw them in the air.

A a good, Fun uncle!
