This is a long one!

Okay I have A LOT to write about so this will be a long post... sorry!
First off I was going to put some pictures on from Leila's birthday party with the Arko's so here they are....
When we gave her the cake, she didn't know what to do with it! When she figured it out she LOVED it!
She decided to put all sorts of body parts in the cake including her feet!
And she really liked sharing the cake with anyone who wanted a little!

On Friday- March 21 I got to do something that I have always wanted to... I went ICE FISHING!! I had such a blast! We went to Strawberry and I absolutely LOVED it! Here's a picture of my biggest fish and Brent's biggest fish!
(Don't mind the way I look! It was cold and early in the morning!)

Then of course Saturday and Sunday we had Easter fun! Saturday we had an Easter egg hunt and lunch with the Eddington side. Leila didn't really understand to look for the eggs, but she sure loved shaking them when she got them in her hands!
And here is Leila in her new Easter dress! She received this for her birthday from her Great Grandma and Grandpa Nelson! Thanks Grandma!

We bought chickens today to take care of THIS problem...watch carefully, as it may be hard to see.



We're really excited to have bug eaters and egg producers in the same package. We actually tried to kill all the spiders last year with an expensive bug killing "fertilizer", but to no avail, so we're trying what really works this year. We've killed countless wolf spiders and black widows and think this will help put our minds at ease while Leila plays outside. Anyway, here are the chickens while their still cute :)

Look a like

HA HA! This is great, but I really don't believe it! I think she looks so much like Brent and well, most of the Eddingtons!!

Thanks for visiting come back soon!! Ü

Wow it has been a long time since I have even been on my OWN blog! I love to look at other peoples' and I have a hard time remembering to do my own!

Today was Leila's 1st Birthday!! I can't believe she was born a year ago! Time went by so fast!

Here she is one year ago- just a small baby in my arms!! Now she is a ONE year old in my arms!
Tonight we had a small party for her that was a lot of fun! Most of the Eddington family came as well as Great Grandma and Grandpa Woodruff and Nana and Papa Arko (and Pat). Leila was getting cranky during the day but as soon as everyone showed up- she was so happy and wanted to show off!! Good thing she had all the attention tonight!


This was the funniest video of all!! For her birthday she got this rocking horse and at first she was really scared of it (which is funny because she loves all animals especially Emily's BIG BLACK dog Sadie!) Anyhow she didn't want anything to do with it and she finally got the courage to touch it and then get on it... the funniest part was everyone was laughing at her and she would smile, but then get this look as if she didn't know what to think!! It was great!! What great entertainment children are!! Anyhow, she got a lot of great presents - so thanks to everyone!! We are having another small party for her this weekend with the Arko side so I will have more pictures to post!

You see this is why I need to do this more often- I have all this cute pictures of Leila and I can't decide which ones to put on here, but if I put a picture every time I post... I might be able to post all the ones I want... just a note to myself! :)


HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEILA!!!
