Paislyn reading the paper with Dad! You can't really see but Devin is also reading a paper, it was so cute!

Paislyn poured my foundation all over the bathroom floor today! That was fun to clean up.
Paislyn's fish face! She is way to cute!!!!
I could not get her to look straight at the camera, but her pj's say Princess P! Isn't that the cutest thing!

The future will be better tomorrow!

2011 was a great yet stressful year for me and Devin. The first of the year we moved to Post Falls, and it was such a wonderful adventure. We had our ups and downs living there, but it made us stronger as a couple and family. We were able to learn to be without family and rely on one another. Paislyn hit so many mild stones while living in Post Falls, it was sad to say goodbye to our home where she grew so much. In July we moved to Rexburg for a month and then back to Rigby for another 2 months. We love Rigby and hope to someday move back. While we were living in Rigby, Devin's job became scarce and he was finding work with his dad. So we had to find something different and more stable. In November we moved to Herriman, Utah. Devin is loving his job and we found out we are having another baby. So there has been times of stress but we just kept our Faith and stayed true to what we know and have made it through. 2011 has been one of those years where so much as happened and I feel so blessed for the lessons I have learned.

I never really make New Years resolutions because I know I won't stick to them. 2012 I hope to change that, and so far (for a week) I have stuck to them. I hope to make 2012 as memorable as I can. This is such a special time in my life, I want to be able to look back on this year with no regrets and no missed moments.

1. Don't just read my scriptures daily but study study study!

Okay so I know these don't seem hard to stick with, but I had to start small. First year of really trying to make and keep goals, I had to make it easy enough to stick with. I hope all of you have a great year!!

Christmas has come on gone way to fast. We felt like we didn't have enough time to do all the holiday traditions we love to do. I didn't make any Christmas candy which made Devin a little sad! We didn't decorate too much because of the terror of a toddler running around in the house. The little decorations I did have on the tree was pulled off and strung around the apartment. But we did have a lot of fun with the little things we had time to do. We took Paislyn to see Santa. She was not impressed. So Devin got to relive his childhood as well.
As you can see Paislyn is growing and getting so clever. Jordan came and spent a few days with us after Christmas. The times we spent getting ready for the day, Paislyn was right there with us wanting to get her hair done and make up put on. (I didn't really put it on, but acted like I did) But I gotta say, she looked adorable in the end.

Well jumping back to Christmas. Devin and I (Santa) got Paislyn a complete set of baby fun. Baby stroller, play pen, diaper bag and twin babies. She also got a cute little chair. She noticed it as soon as we walked down the stairs Christmas morning. Her and cousin Collin had a blast playing together with all their new toys.
Paislyn was spoiled over Christmas weekend. I'm pretty sure she had at least 20 cookies a day. She was loving Grandma's sugar cookies. Anytime she walked to the counter with the cookies, who ever was around would give her a cookie. She was on a sugar high the whole weekend.
On the way to Trevor and Ashlee's house, she was just chillin!
She was pretty packed in the car. She is a good sport.
Ready to spend the weekend with the Thomas clan!!!
Christmas, as always, was a great time. We feel so blessed to have the gospel and the knowledge of Christ. What a wonderful time of year to reflect on all the blessings that came about by a precious baby being born. Such a special season!!

Billman baby number two is on the way, due June 19th. We are very excited. We will find out the end of January if it will be a boy Billman or another girl Billman. Things are going great for out little family. We have been so blessed this past year, and we are extremely excited to see what 2012 has to offer!
