Happy Birthday Celiese!
3 Years Old

Wow! I know I always say this on birthdays...but Celiese is 3 already! She has grown up so much this past year and thankfully is still my little spunky, fun loving girl. Grandma Bryce was in town on her birthday and all the family that lives in Utah, Grandma, and us celebrated her birthday together. We went swimming, which Celiese loves....she is so fun to watch in the water...so in her element. Afterwards we ate pizza, opened presents, ate cake, and played on the playground. I was so glad...I got to spend time swimming with just Celiese and it was so fun to have some quality time with her...a rare occasion you know if you have more than one kid...she is soo smart and funny and we love her very much!

This picure will be a classic!

Cake, glasses, swimming, the park.....this is the life!

Celiese having a great birthday!
My mom came to visit and I really wanted to make a Cup Cake-Cake(a cake made out of cupcakes) I got the idea from my cousin Michayle who got it from her sister in law Bryndee. I wanted to make a princess crown and it actually turned out really cute!

"Blowing" out her candles....unfortunatley the wind blew them out but Celiese was a good sport.

Opening Presents. She's looking at a Dora book from her Bryce Grandparents and she also loved the ponies from her Marble Grandparents. I don't have a picture..but we gave her a "Fancy Nancy" doll that is sooo cute! Maren gave her some sunglasses (pictured earlier)
Jorden, Jeff, Grandma,Bryan, Neil
Luke and Jackson started to play with eachother! They are so funny together...two little teases.
All the girls checking out the loot. Celiese was very kind to share her toys.

Cute Story: So the other day Vance told me Celiese and Hannah were fighting over a plastic spoon and Vance said, "Celiese.." to which Celiese said, "(sigh) I'll give it back, she had it first" and she did!
