Jane is Officially 3!

I can't believe our little girl is 3! Makes me kind of sad and nostalgic. 

Jane is such a little sweetheart and we are so lucky that she is our baby girl!

We had a fun day today. Here are a few of the things we did...

We went to church to play while daddy did some stuff for his calling and played in the gym and had a family picnic.

Grandma Cherlynn and family sent Jane a fun edible arrangement.

For dinner, we went to Olive Garden because she wanted noodles. 
Here Jane is contemplating life. (She was really tired.)

I can't believe how adorable she was being here!

Then we went to the mall and let her ride the carousel 2 times. 
(Daddy is in charge of chaperoning since mommy gets too dizzy.)

A typical shot of Jane. 
Always going, going, going, like a blur.

She wanted chocolate cake "with powder and a smiley face". 
She was VERY specific.

She was really excited for her candles.

I put the smiley face on her piece with whipped cream.

The Happy Girl on her Happy Day.

We love you Jane!

One Happy Little 3 Year Old!

Chuck E. Cheese, dude!

We decided to take Jane to Chuck E. Cheese for her birthday this year. She had a lot of fun, except when the Cheese man himself walked around, he freaked her out. However, she had no fear of the animatronics animals...
They had tiny arcade games and rides just her size. After a while, it all got to be a bit too much for her, but she still had a lot of fun and picked out prizes from her ticket spoils.

Here is a clip of us all "riding" a roller coaster arcade game. Her laughing is about the cutest thing ever!

Happy Birthday Jane!

From Best of Jane 22 months-by Krisi

Our baby is growing up. She turned 2 yesterday and it seems like she just barely came home from the hospital. We love Jane so much and can't believe how quickly she learns new things and is growing into her own little person. Just this week she learned to count to 10 (mostly correctly), and told me to leave her alone while out painting the balcony with water (she's a little sassy like her mommy). She is such an independent little lady and we are so grateful to have her in our family.

Somebody Just Turned 1!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANE!

Jane just turned 1 on October 1st. Scott had school all day long, so he just spent the morning with us. We began the day with
a happy birthday tune
as soon as she woke up. Then we opened presents from Grandma and Grandpa Church
and from Grandma Houston and Grandpa Beldin.
As you can tell, she was very excited. Thank you!Off to birthday pancakes we then went.
Then Scott went to school for the rest of the day, so Jane and I were able to party hardy!
We walked to Kohl's and bought some fun toys and
spent they day playing around the house and out on the balcony.
Later while I made her cake, she enjoyed her very first beaters.

Looks like she likes
whipped cream!She enjoyed a
big chocolate cake
after dinner.Actually, I think she was more into stabbing it with a fork.
It was very cute.
Then it was off to the tub for a birthday bath wit her new toys from grandma and grandpa Church.
A picture with mommy in the bathroom.
And off to slumberland.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
LITTLE ONE!

2 Birthdays in 2 Weeks

Scott turned 27 on May 28th and I turned 28 on June 11th (yes, we are getting close to the big 3-0). I thought it would be fun to throw Scott a surprise party. So, the weekend before his birthday we were in Salt Lake (Jane's First BYU trip) and we got back on the 27th at noon, just in time for Scott to run to work. I thought he wouldn't have a clue because I was doing it the day before his birthday. Meanwhile, I unpacked the car, made a cake and key lime pie (his favorite), decorated and stressed until everyone snuck into the house at 5:45pm just before his estimated 6 o'clock arrival. Well, he didn't actually show up until 6:30 (boo WF), but I believe he was surprised. The party was a hit and so he had the idea to do the same for me...except my party was at the local Hawaiian restaurant. Both parties were fun because of the people that came. We are so lucky to have made so many great friends while here in Cedar City.
