Her birthday is kind of tricky because it is on Halloween. I think it kind of gets a little overshadowed. But I think she likes it that we get to drag it out over several days. Which this year....we definitely did.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BYlyn39oVPI/T3Ivvd9hwBI/AAAAAAAAEMg/k-vyZRP-FNE/s1600/DSC_0638.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BYlyn39oVPI/T3Ivvd9hwBI/AAAAAAAAEMg/k-vyZRP-FNE/s400/DSC_0638.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />

This was fun because the hype of Halloween kind of died down and the girls were excited for something girlie. When I asked Eliza what she wanted to do for her Party she said "A Squinkie Party"! Whaaat? There is no such thing. There was nothing online, no party supplies anywhere or ideas to steal. Trust me! I searched and searched! How can I make this fun and have it be a "squinkie" party? It was a little tricky but I think we pulled it off. We made some cute invitations and invited 8 friends. We then went with the miniature theme. Get it? Squinkies are teeny tiny, so all the food had to be a smaller version. Which was perfect for 8 year old girls. They loved it! <span id="goog_1495496843"></span><br />

She talks so much and in full sentences. Some of it we can understand and some of it we cant! Either way its pretty cute. We are always loving the funny things she comes up with. She is playing more with dolls and her kitchen. She also loves, Little people, blocks and books! She is quite the little singer and loves to sing primary songs. Her favorite, "I am a child of God". </div>amber buhrleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03693978948595464220noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829088152455993592.post-13161075192677502092012-03-26T22:22:00.004-07:002012-03-26T22:30:27.815-07:00Eliza's Baptism<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zVuDFss12p0/T3FPFUYFmkI/AAAAAAAAEHw/6W2XVQDL_Cs/s1600/DSC_0697.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zVuDFss12p0/T3FPFUYFmkI/AAAAAAAAEHw/6W2XVQDL_Cs/s400/DSC_0697.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />

My pictures don't even do justice for how amazing this night turned out. If you haven't already, please visit <a href="http://ruthschultz.blogspot.com/2011/06/team-davy-benefit.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Ruth's</span></a> blog post about the benefit. Her pictures give more of a feel about how the night went. I guess mine are more of the behind the scenes, or the set up. During the actual event I felt like I was running around like a crazy person. I didn't even get a chance to sit down and eat. (And from what I heard, the food was amazing!)<span id="goog_1844662686"></span><br />

We planned a quick birthday party and invited 5 friends! This party turned out so cute, was so easy, cheap and best of all....Porter absolutely LOVED IT!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xhaFyXOfqFg/Tokz1zbOTQI/AAAAAAAAD7w/9j_nev5LAa0/s1600/IMG_0345.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xhaFyXOfqFg/Tokz1zbOTQI/AAAAAAAAD7w/9j_nev5LAa0/s400/IMG_0345.JPG" width="400" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qj1P880-Ub4/Tok0MXv_AGI/AAAAAAAAD70/9VCmYM6QOHo/s1600/DSC_0101.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qj1P880-Ub4/Tok0MXv_AGI/AAAAAAAAD70/9VCmYM6QOHo/s400/DSC_0101.jpg" width="267" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We called it a "NO GIRLS ALLOWED" party. When I thought of things to do I wanted the boys to have the reaction of..."Woa, this is so cool!". Let's just say I was not dissapointed with the excitement they all had!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We started off by glueing foam volcanoes together. They each had their own bottle of glue and I told them they could use as much as they want. NO RULES!!!</div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NN_Wn3Eg4yI/TokvQmobzUI/AAAAAAAAD7I/X0josN_p7_s/s1600/DSC_0079.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NN_Wn3Eg4yI/TokvQmobzUI/AAAAAAAAD7I/X0josN_p7_s/s400/DSC_0079.JPG" width="400" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qVgPdCsAPd8/TokvzMVxEmI/AAAAAAAAD7M/aP3p1krHPJ8/s1600/DSC_0081.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qVgPdCsAPd8/TokvzMVxEmI/AAAAAAAAD7M/aP3p1krHPJ8/s400/DSC_0081.JPG" width="400" /></a></div> Then they hunted in the backyard for the Dinosaurs I had buried in the sand box and hid in the back planter! This was awesome cause it gave me time to set up for each experiment.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jXYFRNtQSDM/TokwW7hr_lI/AAAAAAAAD7Q/u7g3GJT4HBg/s1600/DSC_0083.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jXYFRNtQSDM/TokwW7hr_lI/AAAAAAAAD7Q/u7g3GJT4HBg/s400/DSC_0083.JPG" width="400" /></a></div> Then, of course we had to make Green slime! This was by far the coolest. The boys took their glue bottles and we mixed it with borax, warm water and green food coloring and squished it with our hands! THEY LOVED IT!!! Not sure if it was cause it was so cool or because it made farting noises when they squished it! They made sure to let me know this about a million times and rolled with laughter each time it happened. Gotta love boys!<br />

Each boy had their own bottle of diet coke and package of mentos. When we added the mentos to their bottles, the diet coke geisered out the top! Every time was just as exciting as the first. They thought it was so amazing that they each got their own bottle!<br />

We also had fun with "Pop-its"! They each got their own box and went to town! <br />
<br />
Dry ice in their cups of sprite was cool but they were also a little freaked out by it and no one would drink it. They just stared at it and asked lots of questions!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: black;">I made a Volcano Cake with everything I already had. Chocolate cake, chocolate frosting and yellow and red frosting for the Lava. The best part was being able to let Porter frost it the way he thought would look cool! After the cake and icecream and opening presents I let them run around out back with squirt guns and super soakers! It was really hot, so they had a blast doing this!</span><img border="0" height="267" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cMUmjJJCKSs/Tok0enW5lII/AAAAAAAAD74/11QGofiV8vk/s400/DSC_0111.JPG" width="400" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: black;"> </span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cMUmjJJCKSs/Tok0enW5lII/AAAAAAAAD74/11QGofiV8vk/s1600/DSC_0111.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: black;"><br />

We sent each boy home with a goody bag that came together so well! It was super fun and super cheap. Plus their Volcanos they made and green slime! This was by far my favorite party I have ever thrown for my kids. Mostly because it was easy but even more because Porter had such a good time!amber buhrleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03693978948595464220noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829088152455993592.post-26478063243113203252011-09-12T21:59:00.000-07:002011-09-12T22:00:30.771-07:00JUNE - Getting Caught UpWe had a CRAZY busy month in June so I have so many posts to catch up on.

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">CHEER CLUB!</span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>This was the cutest little group that Eliza belonged too. Every wednesday a group of the neighbor girls would meet and have a cheer club. One of the girls was the instructor and taught them all different cheers. Eliza LOVED it! It was just about the cutest thing to watch them take it so serious and hear them practicing the cheers over and over. Aspen, the instructor held a BBQ for all the families where the girls could perform their cheers. We ordered pompoms and skirts for the girls and they thought it was the best.<br />

Eliza and I had been looking forward to this for several weeks. We ordered shirts and registered right away. She even wanted to "practice" with me in the mornings. Eliza's little cousin Gracie wanted to come too at the last minute and I am glad she did. She was a little trooper the whole time and tried to encourage little miss grumpy pants Eliza when she kept trying to give up! But overall we had a good time and it was a good experience.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Porter loved soccer!

It was a good experience and we had a ton of fun together. I was so proud of her that she was willing to try each position and did so well at each of them! She did loved being the goalie and forward the most. She scored quite a few goals which made it a great first season!<br />

Every 2 years on my moms side of the family we have a big family reunion. It isn't always held at the same place each time. This year we were excited that it was going to be at what used to be our old family ranch. We used to have reunions here when I was little and then the family that owned it decided to turn it into a big rental campground called The Ponderosa. Its just above Zions National Park close to St. George, UT. It was so much fun there! They had cabins, mini golf, a huge pool, zip line, playground set, and more.<br />

Since the school would pay for his way we decided it would be a great opportunity to take a weekend trip. What made it even more enticing...Lou and Jolyn decided to go, which we knew would take it to a whole new level! And let me tell you...it did!<br />
I think it was a little more of a vacation for the girls then the boys! We didn't have to attend any classes, which they did, and.....wanted too? The girls could wake up when we wanted and do whatever we felt like. We shopped, ate, got massages (sort of), saw a few movies and and really just relaxed!</span></td></tr>

I grew closer to Ruth in so many ways during our 2 years there. She feels more like a sister then a sister in law. We were so excited when she first announced she was having a baby girl.

It was Stake conference for us which I was kind of dreading. 2 hours of church with the kids didn't sound like fun. But it actually turned out great! My kids behaved and I was even able to listen! We had dinner with our friends the McDaniels and then ended the night with a golden Easter Egg hunt. We hid 2 silver eggs and 2 gold eggs that each had money in it. The kids were thrilled since they are each trying to raise money for new bikes!amber buhrleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03693978948595464220noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829088152455993592.post-11169358697813234142011-05-08T22:53:00.000-07:002011-05-08T22:53:02.805-07:00Grantham Annual Easter Egg Hunt<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_CuNYTQiFRU/Tcd1EECGJ6I/AAAAAAAADz4/byvmRRbGYlU/s1600/DSC_0882.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_CuNYTQiFRU/Tcd1EECGJ6I/AAAAAAAADz4/byvmRRbGYlU/s640/DSC_0882.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We have some great friends that have thrown a neighborhood Easter egg hunt the saturday before Easter for the past 5 years.

She was so cute when she would get one she wanted to make sure their was really something inside. She would shake it and if she didn't hear anything, she would open it, check and then close it and move on! It was fun to watch her be so excite about it!<br />

We didn't realize that the ratio for eggs per kid would not equal out to be somewhat fair by doing it this way. Some of the younger kids were pretty sad they only got a few once they saw the older kids had baskets filled with eggs. Eliza and many of the older kids were so sweet to share their eggs and candy to make them happy. <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">(plus this meant less candy that would be brought home for me to eat!)</span></i><br />

She makes a really cute clicking noise with her tongue when she wants a drink. I am not sure why she started doing this. She used to just say "wa-wa" or make the sign for drink but now has decided this is the way to ask for a drink.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ND_-WskZrlM/Ta85l7D51bI/AAAAAAAADzc/J-Ei2xYPKFE/s1600/IMG_4349.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ND_-WskZrlM/Ta85l7D51bI/AAAAAAAADzc/J-Ei2xYPKFE/s400/IMG_4349.JPG" width="400" /></a><br />

I love how when she wakes up from her nap or in the morning Porter and Eliza love to open her door and climb in the crib with her. Its not always all 3, but <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Lily</span> just loves it when they do. Sometimes they will bring in books or toys and it buys me a few more minutes!<br />

If she is awake, she wants to be outside! Usually it is the front yard and she stands by my front windows wishing she could go out. Luckily we have a nice big backyard that keeps her happy most of the time. She loves to dig in the sandbox or chase biscuit around the yard. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">5. She <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>LOVES</i></span> biscuit! She gets him out of his kennel in the morning and just smothers him with loves and kisses. The best part is biscuit loves her too! Its pretty sweet.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">6. She has discovered baby dolls and loves to rock and sing them to sleep, feed them a bottle, and push them around in a stroller.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">7. She loves books! The funny part is that she is picky about which ones she likes.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It's hard to see her grow up so fast but we love seeing the new things she is learning and doing.

Like a picture of the whole group that came, or a picture of Porter having his 5 minute session with Santa. It was pretty cute. He must have just been at the right place at the right time cause Santa saw him and sat right down next to him and asked him tons of questions like they were old pals. Porter was in complete heaven. At every other party we had been to where there was a santa he kept saying "thats not the real santa mom!". But this time he really was the real deal! English accent and all!</div>amber buhrleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03693978948595464220noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829088152455993592.post-71015112705584295072011-02-21T08:39:00.000-08:002011-02-21T08:39:36.248-08:00Porter's Performances<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One day before Christmas I was in the kitchen and heard Porter playing around on our keyboard in the front room. All of a sudden I realized he was trying to figure out a song I had taught him in primary a few weeks earlier. I didn't think he was even listening when I was teaching it. So I asked him to sing it and was amazed that he knew EVERY SINGLE WORD. That kid...seriously! Most of the time he just sits there during singingtime and won't sing. So the first video is of him singing the song. Its pretty cute and makes me so happy when I hear it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> I didn't get the greatest pictures but I wanted to make sure and post about Porter's Christmas Performance because it was so stinkin cute. It was one of those proud mom moments. He looked so cute all dressed up and sat right in front singing his little heart out! We were excited that my SIL Jolyn and my neice Gracie could be there too. It made Porter feel so special that they came. They had it in a conference room at a hotel and I was so amazed out how well done it was. The kids really learned so many songs and I just love the preschool because they teach the kids alot about music.<br />

It was super cute especially because they had complete costumes! My SIL Pepper made them and gave them to Jolyn one year for christmas, complete with a Narrative book. It was perfect and the kids had so much fun with it. Lily was too big and too wiggly to fit in the basket to be baby Jesus. So we decided she would be a cute little lamb! She was the highlight of the night!amber buhrleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03693978948595464220noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829088152455993592.post-87429500244336678752011-02-16T19:31:00.000-08:002011-02-16T19:31:49.920-08:00Roller Skating<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So while we were in Utah visiting we stumbled upon a skating rink and had such a blast. We went there thinking it was a fun center and were a little dissapointed at first. Then we decided to make the best of it and seriously...it was so amazing! I felt like a kid again and my kids were such troopers. I was so stoked that they didnt give up. They would fall but keep getting up and trying. Porter had gotten a Razor scooter for Christmas so he was stoked he could use it at the rink. Plus, it was cool because they allowed you to push a stroller while you skated which meant lily had a great time too! </div><br />

My Sister Christy and her family were visiting from Germany. Eliza was ecstatic that she was finally going to get to see her cousins Xoe and Xanthe. We were so excited that my Sister Nanette and her family also decided to drive up that same week. We had to make the drive down even if it was just for a few days. It was definitely worth it</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We haven't done this since Matt and I were very first married. It was such a spiritual night and I am so happy we decided to do this at the last minute.<br />

Then we walked through the visitors center. They had these huge pictures of different scripture stories. I was completely amazed by how well Porter knew each story. Some better then me! That kid sure has a great memory and I think a sensitivity to the spirit. He asks me some pretty deep questions sometimes I don't really know how to explain to a 4 year old so that he understands.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

She really brings such a deep happiness to us all. She can soften my kids when they are grumpy and fighting and she can help remind them to do what is right so they can be a good example to her. We love that about her along with so many other things!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> She has grown so much these past two months. She started walking right before she turned 14 months and we love watching her toddle around the house with a big smile on her face. Lily is definitely into more things but is also better at entertaining herself and finding her own toys!<br />

It seems each time she says a new one we all are so surprised and think its the cutest thing! She loves the attention and repeats the word with a big crinkled nose smile so we will all clap and cheer. Some of her more recent words are grandpa, cracker, popcorn, milk, Eliza (sounds more like Yiya), Porter (porpor), and puppy.<br />
