Sleeping in a toy

I was trying to get things ready for Amalee's birthday party tonight so I put Dallin in his bouncy toy. He sits in it while I don't want him to get into whatever I'm doing. I was sewing up the rips in the girls princess dresses. One second he was fussing and the next when I looked at his this is how he was!

This is the first time he has fallen asleep in a toy or by himself without me helping him fall asleep. He is so cute!

He is even using his hand as a pillow. So funny!!!

5 years ago today! Amalee

I am such a lucky mom to have Amalee for a daughter! She is such a sweet girl and I just love her. She is my little peanut! From the day she was born she has been such a tiny little girl! And since Abram has been away working she has been such a great helper without complaining (well most of the time.) I really can't believe I have a 5 year old. I'm also lucky to have a little girl that everyone says looks just like me!

Amalee is sensitive, sweet, always wanting to help, great big sister, loves Jesus, Her Heavenly Father, going to church, and learning new things.

So here is a couple of pics. One for every year she has been in our home!

The day she was born! 5 years ago!

And this year Amalee got to go out with just her mommy! So today when I asked her what she wanted to do she said eat pizza and take pictures together. She has been wanting to take picture in the photo booth at the mall so that is just what we did! It was so nice to be with just her. We got to talk and have fun together. I think she enjoyed it a lot too cause I don't know the last time it was just me and her. She didn't want the night to end.
