Family Pictures...and last updating post for now!!

Back at the end of October we took family pictures/Paisley's 1 year pictures with one my sister's old roommates from BYU-I and she did an amazing job! Everyone that sees them loves them so hopefully you will too!! Anyway, here are a few....

I LOVE her eyes...

...and her smile!

She loves her dad!

Birthday Pictures!

She wasn't exactly into the cake lol

over it

I love him too :)

ok....that was more than a few..sorry!

Chris' Birthday, Christmas, and New Years

We started off the Christmas break with going to my parent's ward Christmas party. Paisley was afraid of Santa lol (look at the 2nd picture)

Paisley and Braden helping Nana bake

We started off Chris' birthday by going to breakfast with Chris' family (fun tradition) and then we went to the office and had cake with my dad and Chris' Secretary (by the way, Chris took over my dad's Allstate book and is now the agent....need insurance, ask me!!! :) Then, both of our families went bowling. After that we spend Christmas Eve with his family (1st Christmas Eve that I haven't been at my parent's). It was a fun day!

Our little family at the bowling alley...we missed some of my family members though!!

Aunt Pam and Paisley

Paisley with some of her Crandall side cousins and Aunt Em on Christmas Day. We had breakfast with my family then dinner with Chris' family. Then we headed back to my parent's to drop Paisley off for the night :) We definitely took advantage of it and slept in the next day...and cleaned the house without having a 14 month old at our feet, messing everything up once it was clean lol

She LOVED Braden's cozy coupe (mentioned in previous post) oh and this is kinda her scrunched nose smile that I mentioned in that same post lol

New Years Eve day we went to the park with all of her Crandall side cousins. I got some cute video of them too! (notice her Vans from Aunt Pam...very cute!!)

She loved Aunt em taking her down the slide!

Now these are just random cute pictures of Paisley.......

Paisley with her shades on lol

getting into our tv stand that Chris was putting together (notice the scrunched nose smile again...not as scrunchy in this picture though lol)

She loves playing with her dad's iphone

Isn't she adorable?? Ash and I thought it was hilarious how she had her arms behind her head...like she was so relaxed or something ha ha

She loved this...she was in the perfect position to rub his head, one of her favorite things lol He's her little baby!!

Like Mother Like Daughter, Like Father Like Daughter

Is it sad that the See's lady knows my 14 month old daughter by name? Because she does!!!! We go to See's with Ashley and Scotty B probably at least 1-2 times a week (sometimes more), and it's gotten to thepoint that when we walk in the lady says "Paisley!!" sad, I know. But I LOVE See's and so does Paisley! She knows the See's bag or box and her face literally lights up when I say "chocolate". I think I might be a bad mom...? lol She'll literally find my See's bag in the diaper bag (I keep it in there at all times in case I feel the need for a See's hehe), bring it to me and whine until I give her some, or if I say "no" she cries. She knows exactly what's in that bag. And I don't even know this all got started but it did. and there's no turning back now lol.

Paisley after her See's sample.

This is Paisley tonight when she (literally) snuck MY Bordeaux
(spellcheck?) out of my See's bag, IN my diaper bag, UP on the chair!! lol Like mother like daughter :) (She walked over by me and it was half way eaten already and neither Chris or I had even noticed she had it!! So I had to take a picture and blog about it)

*disclaimer-I do try to limit her chocolate/sweets intake though, don't worry!

...and now for the Like Father Like Daughter part....

Chris' butt crack is ALWAYS hanging out!! lol and I just happened to catch this picture a while ago of her butt crack hanging out...thought it was funny!

and this, is how she is most like her dad...she DROOLS!!! When Chris naps or is in a really deep sleep, he drools. Paisley does the same :) I love it! It's funny!

This is her that morning I captured that huge drool spot lol her eye was kinda swollen because she's a stomach sleeper and it was squished up against the bed lol

Best Deal Ever!! (post from mid November...when my pictures started not uploading so I never finished it)

*Originally written on November 14, 2009*
I got all three of these toys for a total of $2.15!!! Those Leapfrog Alphabet Pal toys retail for $19.98 at Target (each), and the Mr. Potato Head retails for $5.99 at Target. I saw this deal on a blog this morning so I figured I'd go and try it and I did it! I'm so proud lol How did I do it? Well, Target price matches. Toys R Us had the Leapfrog toy on sale yesterday and today for 50% off (making it 10.49) then, Target had a $10 off coupon for it, therefore making it .49! Target also had a $5.00 off coupon for the Mr. Potato Head, making it .99! I only wish I had gotten more of the Leapfrog toys and saved them for gifts or for the grandparent's houses!! :( oh well!

Then last week I think it was I went to the mall with my sister and some of our other family and I got all of these shoes for $1.00 each at Gymboree. I got 5 pairs of baby shoes for $5 and some change!!! Those are my great deals of 2009!! lol

Overdue Update!!

It's been a long time since I updated but that's because I couldn't upload pictures...I would try and it would just com up with letters!! But then I switched to the updated post thing and now it works again! So now for updates!!! Paisley is now 14 months old and is sooo busy! She climbs on everything, gets into everything, and is running all over the place. She weighs 25 lbs. and is 31 inches tall. She is so smiley! She has a new scrunched nose smile that I adore...it's so cute! She has recently taught herself how to climb up onto chairs. First was the computer chair and then she would "type" on the computer and click the mouse like I do lol Now she is into climbing up onto the kitchen table chairs. She sits there and I think she feels like an adult or something because she loves it ad she looks over at me like she's so proud of herself. Oh and she gets daring and either rocks back and forth on the computer chair (she fell once) or stands up and gives me a huge smile. It's like she knows she's not supposed to do it, but does it just to spite me ha ha I just love her personality. She is so spunky, stubborn, and independent but yet she is sweet and motherly. She loves babies (particularly her cousin Scotty B). She always wants to feed him, share her toys with him, rub his head, pat his back, etc. When we walk into a room where he is they both go crazy over each other. It's cute. Whenever we see babies, she's intrigued and she acts like she is so much older than them lol. My sister, Jenn, and her family moved back to the area over Christmas break and they stayed in Elk Grove until after Christmas so we were with them a lot over the break. It is fun to see her interact with her cousins from my side too. She is now getting old enough to where she's kinda starting to play with them. They all love her to. She and Braden (3 1/2) fought over his cozy coupe that he got for Christmas, which was funny. I think he liked her better when she couldn't walk and take over his toys lol jk Anyway, here are some pictures from a little while ago (I'll post more on new posts)

Paisley getting into things...cheez its to be exact!!
