My Dearest Crystal

My Dearest Crystal,
I love you! I loved holding you in my arms as a baby as I rocked and sang you to sleep. Thank you for making your daddy and I feel so special each night as you plead for one last song, one last cuddle, and one last kiss. I look forward to you calling my name followed by your excited smile and sweet kisses every morning.

I love that you are always giggling at the little things in life, especially when I or your daddy make a mistake. Your bright eyes and little giggle always makes me smile, even when in the worst of moods. I love playing dress up with you and spinning in circles until I feel sick. Thank you for helping me to remember that its the little moments that matter.

I cherish your sincere love you have for your "Best Friend" - Abigail. Thank you for your gentleness and sweet care for her. I have never seen her as happy as when she's with you. You are most definitely "Two Best Friends."


It makes me sad when I think of how quickly you have grown, and continue to grow. I love you dear Crystal. Thank you for your faith and trust in me.

Sugar Cookies

I love the fall - there are so many fun things to celebrate!! This past week we decided to make Halloween Sugar cookies for Crystal's friends.  She was SOO excited when I told her she could roll out the dough and stencil the cookies herself.

She didnt realize the cookies had to be cooked first, and I couldnt help but laugh after she put cut-out dough into her mouth and, with a confused face, said "Ewww. Mommy me no like heart cookie"
We hope everyone enjoys this fall season!!

I dont like Spiderman

After breakfast every morning, the girls hop in the stroller and we go walking with ladies in our ward.
Crystal loves walking with her friends, and learns new things from them each day...for example ~ her friend Zachary LOVES Spiderman and tends to dress like him often.  Crystal, not knowing who this Spiderman is, decided that she too loved him and would start running around acting as Zachary did (Super cute!!)

So last week we came home and I asked her if she wanted to see who Spiderman was.  She was so excited to watch the movie...that is until it started.  About 1 1/2 minutes into the cartoon, she turned to me with a scared face and said "Mommy, I dont like Spiderman.  I like princesses!"  Hehehe

Now every morning, she makes sure to tell Zachary "I dont like Spiderman, I like Princesses"
Here's Crystal in her princess nightgown while wearing Zachary's Spiderman jacket. hehehe
