This little girl makes me SMILE!

Easter weekend we had such a good time. Saturday night we colored eggs with Devin's cousins. Paislyn had a lot of fun. Needless to say she wasn't very soft with the eggs, she smashed up her egg into so many little pieces. I wish I had my camera during that. On Friday I took her to an Easter egg hunt at the Church. She was so fun to watch. They had most of the eggs in clear site, because most the kids were under 3. They only hid some eggs for the older kids, and Paislyn. She noticed one egg hiding in a stack of chairs as soon as we walked in and so that is the only place she would look. She found 12 eggs in those chairs. She was so excited! She watched me fill some eggs before we went so she knew what was inside. So when she would find one, she would throw it on the floor to open it up, and then chase the candy. It was so cute! On Sunday, Devin and I hid her basket and more eggs on the balcony.  She loved finding all the eggs!

About a week ago, Paislyn starting running a really high fever and she had an awful cough.  So we took her into the doctor. Joyful day, she had an ear infection.  Up to this point she has always been a healthy little girl so it was really hard watching her be this sick.  Sunday we stayed in our pjs all day and she would fall asleep anywhere!  But she was attached to her daddy!

 This is Paislyn sleeping sitting up leaning against Devin.  I told you, she could have slept anywhere that day!

 Paislyn is in love with her sunglasses!  She loves to where them, and knows she looks so cool!

While Jordan was at our house, Paislyn only wanted to be with her. She loves her aunt Jordan. In this picture she was showing Jordan what the monkey says. And in the picute below she was showing her what the snake says. The snake is her favorite right now.

She learned to do the ssssssss about a week ago and it makes her so happy. If we ask her to do it she gets that big smile on her face. Another thing that she is loving right now is singing. We do the wheels on the bus about 20 times a day. Her favorite verse is the "mommies on the bus." She does so good at shushing us. That verse I would say gets done about 30 times a day.

Baby is one of her favorite toys. She loves wrapping it in blankets and

feeding it a bottle. She is going to be such a good helper!

Any time Paislyn hears

music, she is up and moving. She loves to shake it! She has been like that ever since she could sit up. When music was playing she was bouncing or shaking her head. When she started walking it just got more intense. One of her favorite things to do is turn on music and dance. It is a great exercise for me, she gets her energy out, and she loves every minute of it. Win! Win! Jordan stayed with us Friday night on her way back to school. We went shopping and then to Wingers to get dessert. While in the car, Paislyn was having so much fun dancing. When we got home she still had a lot of energy, so we put on music and let her go. I don't know where she got these dancing skills, but i think she is the best dancer I have ever seen.  I have been trying to upload a video of her dancing!  So check back soon! 

April is here!

April is here and we could not be more excited! 1)Easter Sunday! Paislyn is old enough this year to decorate eggs and go on egg hunts. It is going to be a lot of fun! 2) Deslie is coming to visit us for a few days the week after Easter. She has a conference in Salt Lake so she gets to spend some time with us! 3) the week after Deslie visits the whole Thomas family will be here for Tereza and Clayton's wedding. So we get two weeks full of family! I am just so happy to have them all here. 4) right now I am about 2 1/2 months away from having our baby girl!

We are getting anxious to welcome our little bundle of joy into our home. We have decided on the name Railee. But we have not decided how to spell it yet. There is so many ways that we could spell it. Railee, Raeley, Railey, Rayleigh Rayley. We just have to decided which we like better. Her full name will be Railee Anne Billman. Devin came up with this name, and I fell in love with it. I have always loved the name Riley, but it is getting to popular and gender neutral. Before we got married Devin always like the name Bailey, but I wasn't a big fan. So when Devin came up with this name I was so excited. Middle name is from both sides of our families. My mom and Deslie's middle name is Anne. My Grandma Holden's name starts with ANNEtte, Grandma Thomas's name was DeANNa and Devin's Grandma is named Ann. So we decided to go with Anne! The doctor mentioned he would be willing to induce me on the 16th of June, which would be on a Saturday. So I'm going to try my hardest to get him to induce me on the 14th. That way Devin can be home Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. My mom is going to be coming for a week once the baby comes as well, so that will be great.

Well for an update on our ever growing toddler. She has so much personality and so much attitude its hard keeping a straight face when your around her. She is so smart and picks up on things so easy. Devin ordered her a kitchen play set online, thinking we would wait for her birthday. But we got a little to excited, so we caved and set it up early. (haha her b-day is in August) She absolutely loves it and it keeps her so entertained. It will be nice to have once the baby comes, that is if she is still entertained by the whole thing. It was quite the project that we started on. Devin started working on it at 9, and then once I put Paislyn down at 9:30, I helped. We finished the project about 11:30. In the morning Paislyn saw it and her face lit up with excitement. It was like Christmas morning!
It is very hard to get any good pictures of this little one. She is always moving, jumping and dancing, that a good picture is hard to capture. I have to keep my camera on the sport setting just to get a few good pics in.
This little one loves to get dressed up and get her hair done. Of course with this obnoxious little one the style only last about an hour. She loves sitting in the chair by the mirror and watching me do her hair.

She started this new thing, where she loves to sit on the spare bed in her room and read. Which I love by the way, because she will sit for an hour or so reading books all by herself. Its like an extra nap time almost. YAY! She will sit with her blanket, the sheep GG gave her, and all her books and just read and read. She will crawl to the light and turn it on. Then go back and read, and then crawl to the light and turn if off. Then back to her spot to read. It keeps her so entertained! I LOVE IT!



Devin has a game on his I pod, where you try to throw paper into a garbage can. Paislyn loves this game! It is so much fun to watch her play!

Devin and I feel so blessed to be where we are! Devin loves his job, and of course I love being able to stay home with my crazy little princess. We have a really great ward, that we are enjoying. We have a wonderful little girl with another on the way, and we are so excited to see our family growing. I feel so blessed to have the husband and daughter that I do. I feel blessed and humbled to think that I get to be the mom to two wonderful girls. It is pretty overwhelming but I can't wait to see what life has to offer!
