birthdays,Roppongi, and life!

The past few weeks have felt so busy! The times has seemed to just fly by without enough time to catch up. We have had Birthday parties (several friends and our own), Harley had a modeling shoot in Roppongi, I was given a great baby shower, and it just seemed like every day there was something!
Niyah's birthday party was a success. She had several of her good friends over, they did a fashion show, then the pinata, pin the crown on the princess, cake, and then they played at the playground. It was busy busy and I was very glad Jeb was so willing to help control all the little princesses!
So for me having ZERO cake decorating skills, I was proud of this creation. For me it was pretty good!

Fashion Show!!


they girls are Chloe, Amelia, Niyah, Clarrissa
Jolie, Emma, and Harley
Harley had a modeling shoot down in Tokyo at Roppongi. It was a shoot for Barbie clothes so it was really fun for her, just wish we could keep the clothes, SO CUTE! and can you believe they made her a red head for it! HAHA I finally had red headed child. :)

We were going to wander around and do the tourist thing after the shoot but we were to tired, and it was really cold that day. Plus after having the kids almost trampled in morning rush hour, we did not want to hit rush hour on our way back, so we didn't look around to awful much. For an idea of what I mean by trampled on the trains... I REALLY think you should check out this video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuPw82gJ37w
This is a good one too

Ok so our train was not this bad, but it was closer then you think. I was seriously worried they were going to smash the kids, me and Jeb had to block them and make a wall around the kids. UGH it was exhausting.
Here few sights we did see.

Tokyo tower, in the distance. Its taller then the Eiffel tower and made to replica it.



So another thing we had going on, some very nice ladies threw me and a fellow new mother baby showers. Me and Miriam Porter had our babies 2 days apart. Mine was first! (it was a race with the husbands who would go first) It was so sweet of them to give us a shower and everyone who gave gifts. Thanks Linda an Cindy!

Here is to Niyah

This past week my little Niyah turned five years old! FIVE can you believe that? Not me I keep trying to tell her she is still only three but she doesn't believe me. So lets take a look at the memories of Niyah. Niyah came on March 8th 2004, at the Orem hospital. This was her little sign they made her

From the begining she was and still is loved very much by everyone, but none more then her big sister Harley

Unfortantly within the first couple of weeks Niyah became very sick with RSV. It was the so scary watching and waiting for her to get better. Nearly a week in the hospital and a couple weeks on oxygen.

She became better and became my little chubby cheek baby. She was blessed the first week of May, that same day we left to move to Las Vegas! From there she just grew up!







WOW she has grown so fast!

So Happy Birthday Niyah. My girl who can always make me smile and laugh, who can remind me of a Princess and Monkey at the same time: We love you, we adore you. We think your amazing!
