Maizyn turns 3!!

My little angel is 3 years old now! I can't beleive I have a 3 year old already. She has become quite the little jokester as well as a major girly girl. For her actual birthday I made her favorite chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast with candles in it...... went to the "water" park at Crossroads with Grandma!
... rode on the carosel at the mall, after lunch...

... and another birthday cake just for her!

Some funny things about my little goofball in the past few months:

A few days ago, she came running in and said "Mommy, come look at all my wishes!" I followed her into the bathroom to find about 8 coins in the toilet, apparently she thought it was a great wishing well! I was cracking up.

At night when doing our bedtime routines, I sang "I love to see the Temple"... for those of you who know this at the end it says "this is my sacred duty"... well, Maizyn says "Mommy! That is potty talk! " I was a little confused and asked why. " you said to shake your booty! "

I love this age. She is learning so much and talking so much. She makes me laugh on a daily basis. I can't beleive that three years ago I was taking home this:

I love you Maizyn! You are my angel!

POOF!! It's a Tinkerbell Birthday Party!!

For Maizyn's little party we had close friends and family go to the Children's Museum

then had cupcakes and pizza at the park

while she opened some presents.

It was a Tinkerbell theme and she was our little tinkerbell during the entire thing. She wore her crown, wings and held her wand the entire night. So cute!

Semra came to Seattle

My best friend Semra came home for a few weeks, we had a great time re-living our glory days. I haven't seen her since she moved over 2 year ago. I have missed her so much and it was really fun to see her, except way too short! Our daughters even loved eachother - they are our little mini-me's.

Now she has moved out of the country for the next year and I miss her SOOO much.

Moved

We moved a few months ago just across town, less than a mile away... Here is our living room of our new place. I'm posting these pictures for Semra... We have been working hard re-painting and fixing up this old place a bit. It's so nice to have a yard for Maizyn to play in and also great neighbors that we hang out with almost every night for an hour or so. It's also in a very quiet little neighborhood and we like it.
