Dish rags for dress up

July 2010.

Priya came to me one day with dish towels and instructions for how she wanted to wear them. I am so glad I took a picture because little did I know this would become an every day dress up for her. Last week in fact, February 2011, she wore a dish towel under her cupcake beannie to the grocery store. The dish towel on her head is her long beautiful hair or her pony tail.

When she first started to dress up like this she wanted to dance to the Work Song from Cinderella. I have a video clip of her dancing I will have to find and post.

Tricks at the park

I am posting all of this a bit late, only like seven months.
I can't skip any of it because I want to remember these days when she is all grown up.

Priya had just turned 2 when I took these pictures. I still remember how cute she was. Everything she did had the phrase, "Look at my trick." attached. We were having Family Home Evening at the park with Katie, Josh, and Ava, and Uncle Scott.

TWO YEARS OLD

We went and got Ice cream with the Shurtleffs and Priya got to open a birthday gift from Mauck and Papa. She loves her new skirt. She calls it her pinning kirt (spinning skirt). When ever she puts it on she says, "mama I need music."

This is Priya's birthday cake at the Garner party. I was going to make her a fancy kung fu panda cake but all she wanted was sprinkles, so that is just what she got.

Two years have gone so quickly. Matt and I have found a lot of joy from this little girl. She keeps us laughing.

A few things she has said in the past few week I have been meaning to write down....

.....During a very heavy rain storm, "Mom it is leaking outside"

..... Hillary asks, "Priya what church do you belong to?"
Response "The Church of the Evening Sky."

We later had a FHE lesson about the Church we belong to.
We learned the song I Belong to The Church of Jesus Christ. Priya sings this song often
now but she changed a few of the words, as follows.

I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints.
I know who I am,
I Know God bless me forever.

Priya and her Papa's

Summer Time June 2010

The highlight of our day is often a walk or a bike ride to feed the horses, alpaca, goats, or miniture horses. Our town is like a petting zoo, we love it. Priya is very good at feeding the animals.


I love this face! Water has been a favorite of Priya's. She is a little fish.

Waiting for baby Liam

For a week maybe two at the end of May we were so lucky and got a lot of Wiseman cousin time.
We were waiting for baby Liam to come. Liam was on his own time frame and gave us plenty of time to entertain the older children. We kept them busy or maybe it was the other way around.


We.... played play dough, made bead necklaces, went to the duck pond, the Temple, on lots of walks, and much more I am starting to forget(thats why I need to post things when they happen not two months later). Priya and I sure had a good time with her cousins and my sister that we don't see nearly enough.

Liam eventually did come out, as all babies do. All along he was waiting to share a birthday with his aunt Hillary, he was born May 25th. Megan was kind enough to let me be at Liam's birth. It was the best birthday ever.
