Dang Leprechauns!

Those pesky little creatures hit our house again this year! They came in the middle of the day...left a gold coin trail from the front door to the kitchen table... and overturned all the bar stools and chairs along the way! Once they got the the table the must have walked in green paint somewhere and left footprints on the table! That is not all they left though, they left us more gold coins and some Lucky Charms! So I guess those pesky guys aren't soooo bad!

Happy St. Patricks Day everyone!

Birthday party of the YEAR!!!

Or should I say, "the ONLY birthday party of the year!" This year I thought we should do a combined birthday party for the girls....you might be wondering what I was thinking, so here is the logic! We started planning Kaybree's birthday party. Her birthday is December 30th and everyone is usually out of town, or coming home the day or weekend of her bday. In the past I've always planned her party for a week or two later. This year we were also planning her baptism, so that pushed the bday party back even further. Oakley's birthday is February 9th. I knew I would be doing another birthday party very shortly after this one. Since Oakley was totally on board with all of Kaybree's ideas, we decided we may as well combine! Well, I told the girls that they could each invite as many girls as their age...Kaybree 8, Oakley 6...total 14....right? Well, one thing lead to another and I hate for feelings get hurt, so we ended up with a grand total of 28! Yep you read that right....28 little girls! We invited 28 girls over for a pajama, pizza, and pedicure party!!! I don't have a picture of me doing pedicures, but let me just tell you.....painting 280 toes takes FOREVER! This is definitely going to be a party my girls will remember! That's what it's all about right?!

28 water bottles!

I knew this was going to get confusing, especially when it came to drinks. So my brilliant idea to keep some sanity was water bottles with names on them! I worked out fabulously! 28 goodie bags!
28 cupcakes!

28 cute girls in pj's!
28 presents!

Out of all 28 gifts, this is the gift that topped the charts!!! JUSTIN BIEBER!!! hahaha! ;)

Bryce's Birthday!

We celebrated Bryce's 33rd birthday in January! I can't believe that we are getting so old! ;) It really seems not long ago that we were celebrating 22! hahaha! Anyway, I would feel very ungrateful if I didn't recognize Bryce for the wonderful daddy, hubby, man that he is! He truly is the best guy I have ever known and I am happy to say he is mine! Bryce is so amazing, he always sees the good in everyone. He is kind and gentle, yet tough and hard working. Thanks for all you do! Love ya! Sorry if this embarrasses you! XOXOXO

Bittersweet

Well, you heard it here first...we are closing down our jean business. :( We lost two of our best accounts last week. :( We still could have made it work with the other accounts, but we decided not to. I am very happy that I was able to have this little business venture, and that it was fun and successful! I guess if it has to end, I can't think of a better way for it to happen. At least I can say that I am still friends with my business partner/ neighbor/ friend. (that doesn't happen very often!) Business was fun, but it did take it's toll on my family. Bryce travels a lot and with me doing two parties a week, well it was hard. That is why it is bittersweet for me. I am excited and scared to just be home. I have a very hard time just being home, I feel like I should be contributing to society in some way...I don't know why I always feel like this, but it is my goal to be content. Beside which, raising two daughters IS contributing to society! Probably one of the better contributions out there right?

Kaybree's Baptism Day

Kaybree was baptised on Saturday, January 8th. It was such a wonderful peaceful day. She was so excited, and a little nervous! Kaybree was the only baptism in our ward, so we were able to do the entire program with our family. Both of Kaybree's Grandma's spoke at the baptism and did such a wonderful job. This is a day that we will never forget. We are so proud of Kaybree and the beautiful girl she is becoming. Kaybree and Dad
After the baptism, we had all our friends and family back to our house for cinnamon rolls. (Kaybree's favorite)

So proud of you! Love you lots!

Kaybree's Baptism Pictures!

***WARNING- picture over load***

Here are some of Kaybree's baptism pictures! I seriously could not pick a favorite she was so gorgeous in all of them! I cry every time I see them.

My sister Brooke did such an amazing job! Thank you Brooke!

Some one said this is her second of her three white dresses. The next time she is in a white dress it will be her wedding day. Talk about tear jerker! Can't they stay little forever?

Kaybree turned 8!!!

Can you believe my baby is eight? Kaybree had a super fun birthday! We celebrated her day by going and seeing "Yogi Bear" at the movies, and then to dinner at Red Robin. After going out, we had grandparents over for cake and ice cream!! Kaybree got lots of fun things for her baptism!
Grandma and Grandpa Newbold always get the kids scriptures for their eighth birthday!
Grandma Janet made this CTR towel for her baptism!
Bryce and I gave Kaybree a sewing machine for her birthday! She absolutely loved it!

Watch out...crafter in training!!!

Christmas Day 2010!

I think this picture say's it all! The girls were excited beyond words!! We always make the girls stay in their rooms while we go around and flip on lights, plug in the tree, get the camera ready. We are so mean, but it only adds to the excitement!
They do goofy things when they are excited!
Oakley and her pile of presents!
Kaybree checking out what was in her stocking!

This year was a little different than years past. Usually I try to have some awesome display of gifts under the tree, but this year they asked for things that were little. Not so little when it came to price though! Here were a few items on their lists... DSI, laptop, Ipad, etc... Needless to say they only got one of those items! They were more then happy with their DSI's!!! We had a very Merry Christmas and hope you all did too!

Christmas Party at the Dahle's

Christmas parties at the Dahle house are always quite the event! This year Santa came and he was sooooo neat. He talked about Christ and the true meaning of Christmas. He talked about his Santa Suit and how it resembled Christ. He was the best Santa ever (really) He also did the typical Santa stuff...songs, lap, and gifts! If anyone needs Santa's number next year, let me know! Kaybree talking with Santa! Santa busted her...he had a little talk with her about how she faked sick the Sunday prior to the party! He really DOES see everything!!!
Oakley receiving her gift!
My Mom and Dad!! Santa was a great sport!

My Grandma asked Santa to bring her some RUM! Santa didn't know how to respond to that one! hahaha!

Bryce and I! We've been good this year! Right?!

Santa singing with the kids!

The kids were all sooooo mesmerized!! They were hanging on every word!

After Santa left, we went into my parents garage and swung at a pinata!

Oakley...she really got into it after this picture! After the pinata we went in the house and read a story called "Humbugs" After the story, the kids made cookies that resembled the humbugs!Kaybree and her humbug cookie
