My Bestest Friends


These are my wonderful sisters Chelsie on the left and Natalie on the right. They are my best friends. I am so lucky to have sisters that I know will always be there for me. Yes me have our fights but at the end of the day, they are my family and we always have each others backs. They are the girls I know I can always talk to about anything. I love them so much and I am so lucky to have the relationship that I do with them.

A Day In The Life


















As a stay at home mom, my days consist mostly of cooking, cleaning and changing stinky bums; however when we get time to play me and the girls enjoy going to the park, playing outside, and coming up with the next delicious cupcake recipe. Winter time is a hard time of the year for us because we enjoy being outside so much, but the cold snowy weather not so much! The girls get restless being cooped up in the house all day everyday during the winter, so I try to find fun things to do with them. Like play with play-doh, color pretty pictures, and sing and dance. Taylor's favorite song right now is "single ladies" by Beyonce. She is so silly, she dances and sings its hilarious. Tenlie even joins in on the action by crawling around in circles shaking her head back and forth. Oh I love my girls.

Christmas Time is here!















































Christmas was so much fun this year, Taylor was so excited for Santa to come. The whole month of December every time Taylor would see something she liked on TV she would say I want that, oh I want that too, and that, and that, and that...... I am sure you get the picture. Anyways I started buying the stuff she said she wanted, but then the list kept getting longer and longer so I left the rest to Santa and the Grandparents lol.. Tenlie was more excited about all the wrapping paper on Christmas day. Which was somewhat expected. She was so cute. She just wanted to be in the middle of action. The girls were spoiled rotten. The day after Christmas my living room was completely filled with toys that I had no idea where to put. I felt like I lived in the middle Toys R Us. Don't get me wrong I am thankful for what we have but sometimes I feel like we have more stuff is storage than we actually have in the house. Its time for a new house with about 1000 more square feet. :)

Halloween 2011
















Halloween was so much fun this year. Taylor loves fairies. Her favorite show is Tinkerbell: The great fairy rescue. So for Halloween this year she decided she wanted to be Rosetta off of Tinkerbell. I went looking for a Rosetta costume and actually found one at Walmart but couldn't get myself to pay $20 for it. So I decided to put my own spin on Rosetta and that is what Taylor wore. I personally think I turned out really cute. Tenlie was a teddy bear, which looked so cute on her. I got this costume last year on clearance, I only paid $0.25 for it. You cant beat that. Halloween was fun. We took the girl trick or treating, all the elderly people thought they were so cute. They always get handful's of candy because Taylor knows how to work it lol.. I cant wait until we get a bigger house and can start having Halloween and other holiday parties. I love throwing a good party :)

Fall Fun 2011

















































































We love to go out and do stuff together as a family. Growing up I loved spending quality time with my family and some of my best memories are of times we did things together. I want my children to have those same memories. This fall we went to the corn maze in Ogden. We had alot of fun. There was a huge slide that Taylor just loved, but we had to go down it with her because she was to scared to go alone. She is silly. She loved all the wood cutouts of witches and animals. Her favorite was the horse. She is in love with horses. She says we need to get a bigger house so we can get one ha ha ha. Tenlie loves being outside. She loves to look at all the colors and shapes. She also loves to watch other kids play (since she isnt big enough to get down and play with them she just watches). We have so much fun as a family. Its times like these that I cherish.

Our second life changing experience!






Tenlie Davis Simmons was born March 16, 2011 @ 6lbs 3oz and 17 inches long. She is such a mommies girl (which I love). She is my little bundle of joy and I love her so so so much.

Our first life changing experience!







Taylor was born May 6, 2008, she is such a fun, outgoing little girl. I am just starting this blog and since Taylor is 3 there really wont be much about her when she was a little baby but I thought I would at least add a few pictures of her from when she was a little stinker.

All Because Two People Fell In Love























Me and Colton started dating in the spring of 2004, we were married on Nov, 08 2007. I love that I was able to marry my best friend. Colton is everything I could ask for in a husband. He is dedicated, loving, a hard worker, and a great father. Although married life have been a crazy roller coaster I am so greatful to be on this ride with Colton. I love Colton so much and enjoy experiencing all that life throws at us. Good and bad. The first year of marriage was hard. It wasn't all rainbows and lollypops like you dream of. In the first year we bought a house, had our first baby (Taylor) and on top of all that had to learn how to be married (which in and of itself is a hard task). This blog is all about our crazy lives and everything in between.
