Beware! This post is going to be LONG.. Gotta catch up:)
It has been forever. I am in the last 6 weeks of my MBA so hopefully I will blog more often now that time will free up. Things have been great with our family. Malia is 4 now and is the sweetest girl. She is really shy and sensitive. Berkly is the wild one. Berkly is 2 now and is all over the place:) Tyler is in school too. He has about a year left. It will be fabulous when we are both all done.
We just got a new car. It is a Subaru Tribeca. We love it. It seats 7 but is not too big. It is dark grey, was heated leather, GPS, backup camera. It drives awesome in the snow. I am a new Subaru convert. This one isn't ours obviously, but this is what it looks like
Halloween was fun this year. Malia wanted to be Alice in Wonderland. So i dressed as the queen of hearts and Ty was the mad hatter and Berkly was the white rabbit. Us girls had cute purses. Mine was a flamingo, Malias was a cheshire cat and Berkly's was a big clock like the rabbit in the movie.
The girls had a combined Wizard of OZ themed birthday party. It was a few months ago now, but they had a lot of fun!

I stuffed these tights with paper and put them under the little playhouse my mom has in her rec room, which is were we had their party.
We had cute little favor bags with a dorothy tag on them. Inside I put a pack of rainbow sticker, a glinda glitter wand, a lollipop and a pink bubble bottle.
We played pin the heart on the tin-man
And had lots of treats:)
I made the rice krispie treats yellow, like yellow bricks.
Little twisters:)
Glinda wandwiches
Glittery ruby red cookies
Hershey kisses (tin man hats)
Ding-Dongs
Yummy cupcakes
We had a great Christmas too. This was the first year Berkly was really excited about opening presents. Malia got a lot of Tangled stuff. Rapunzel is her favorite now.
The girls got a tent and sleeping bags.

Devin came home from his mission. We are so happy to have him back.
We just re-decorated the girls room. Berkly was due to get out of her crib. It has turned out cute so far. I wanted to do a woodland theme. These are a few things I picked up at thrift stores to paint to go along with the decor.
This is how they turned out. There are shelves above the 2 windows in the girls room which is were i put all the little knick-nacs. I painted the owl white. It was a yellowish tan before. I left the little mushroom pot green because it matched the girls bedding really well.
I painted the leaf plate brown and the beaded vase white.
It is hard to see in this picture but there is a small white bunny. I left the cute little gnome door with mushrooms just as i bought it. I painted the little bird cage on the far right brown.
This is their daybed. It was a goldish color and i painted it a dark brown. This picture was right after i had set it up and the trundle underneith was not set up yet. We decided to go with a daybed for the girls instead of bunk beds. Tyler was too scared to have Malia on a bunk. I thought she would be fine, but a daybed was our compromise:)
I got thier cute bedding at target. The one in this picture is more of a quilt. It is really cute. I got the wall decals and the owl pillows there too. The hedgehog was a valentines stuffed animal my mom found at Shopko.
This is Berklys bedding. This is after the trundle was set up. It is from target also. I didnt take pictures of the cute sheets. Malias are striped and Berklys have little hearts and mushrooms. The other side of the quilt is pink with polka dots and the other side of berklys comforter is green with polka dots. It is really cute. I would like to do something else with their stuffed animals that are in the hammocks in the corner. Too cluttered for me. I will have to figure something out, till then they will just drive me crazy:)
This is the trundle popped up
This is a cute little LED nightlight. It is hard to tell but it is a blue bird. I love it. You charge it and then the girls can just lay in bed with it like a flashlight. This is their first night in their new bed so hopefully it goes well:)
Also, in regards to my last post, Berkly is doing great. We actually did have another episode after that post. A few days after the first time she bumped her head barely when i was changing her diaper and the whole thing happened again. We took her to the ER and they gave her a CT scan. They said she was fine just more prone to that happening for a few weeks after the first time since her head was sensitive and had not healed yet. She has not had a problem since. (THANKFULLY) But.... she did break her collar bone a few months ago. She is our accident prone child. She fell half way down the stairs and just landed on it wrong. All they could do was give her some pain medicine because she would not wear a sling. She was pretty sore for a few weeks but is fine now. Poor girl.
Well I am SOOOO proud of you if you made it that far. Now we are up to date and hopefully I get my butt in gear and do better than one post a year. :)
