Always Paislyn

So every post that I do is always about Paislyn. But really, with a cutie pie like this, what else would we write about. Oh and in 5 months we will have another little girl to write about!!!! We are so excited and feel so blessed to welcome another little girl into the Billman home. As for Paislyn she turns 18 months on February 20th, and we get to send her to nursery. HALLELUJAH! We love her fun spirit and crazy personality, but I can't remember the last time we listened to the lessons being taught. So off to nursery she goes! A little update about her:

She is now speaking more and more. Some of the words she says the most is:

Thank you, Please, NO!, Got you, water, Daddy, Mamma, book, Grandma, Babo(grandpa),

Up, down, tickle, and on.

She knows where her head, belly, nose, toes, and ears are. She knows when to get her diaper for us and wipes. When we ask where her shoes are she goes right to the closet, also if I ask if she is hungry she will run right to the pantry.

She loves cereal, rice crispy treats, dolls, daddy, her blankets, mac and cheese, cheese, hot dogs, dancing, dancing, music, cartoons, eating breakfast by mom in the morning, and anything where she can be the center of attention. She is super talkative, when dad comes home from work she gives him a play by play of her whole day. You can only imagine how cute that is! She is crazy, obnoxious, full of energy, and a so sweet!!!!

She loves her baby, and loves to wrap it in blankets, towels, and whatever she can find.
She is going to be such a good big sister!
Amused by the camera
She is no longer a baby. *tear*
Look at that face, she is up to something!

This is paislyn for you. Going under the rope, when it say not to.
Loves slides, and was telling Devin NO, NO because he wouldn't let her go down yet.

She has so much fun on slides
She is just so cute

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.

Resolutions for 2012:

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

2. Read the whole Book of Mormon with the family!

3. Take more pictures and learn to take better pictures

4. Play my guitar more

5. Sew more

6. Finish this list with Paislyn before the year is over

1. Spend more time outside

2. Go to the zoo

3. Read 100 different books with her

4. Go to the library weekly

5. Go swimming more as a family

6. Take her to the sand dunes in Colorado

7. Walk around Temple Square

8. Go camping

9. Go on hikes

10. Color more with her

11. Do more crafts with her

12. Have FHE every week

13. Explore more of our surrounding

14. Spend as much alone time with her before the new baby arrives

15. Laugh more

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!

We have been without internet for a few months so I haven't been able to update on our lives. Paislyn as you can see just keeps getting cuter and cuter. She is one now, and I can't believe it. Devin got a job in Salt Lake and starts work on Monday. We have just moved to Herriman, Utah, and found a great little apartment for now. We have a perfect view, I feel like I'm back in Colorado, our our balcony you can't see any other houses or apartments; just mountains! We are really hoping we can call Utah our home for a little while.
Well Paislyn's Birthday was really fun to plan, and she had a blast with the cake! You can't till by the picture but she was wearing a pink and green tutu and she was so darn cute!
Her cake that she ate all by herself. She didn't even get half way done with it, but it ended up in her toes hair, and everywhere else imaginable.
Cupcakes for the party guests! Thanks to my mom and Jordan for helping so much with it all, and for making the long trip to attend!

So Paislyn on Spaghetti night! I said "say cheese" and this is what I got! The cutest thing ever!
Paislyn was a ladybug for Halloween. She was so excited! We went to Grandma Davenports house first, and when she put the candy in her bucket she got the biggest surprise look on her face. And after that she was a pro, and loved getting more and more candy.
I know all I talk about is Paislyn, but can you blame me she is so stinkin cute!

She is doing it! Paislyn is walking. It is so crazy how much she has grown. This past year has just flown by. She is no longer our little cuddly baby! *tear* She is in everything and anything. The other day I was in the back doing my hair and she crawls into the bathroom covered in squash. I ran into the kitchen, I was convinced that she had broken a bottle of baby food and there was going to be glass all over the place. But to my surprise the little stinker somehow opened a brand new can of baby food, that was in her diaper bag. What a mess that was. She just looked at me with that cute little smile and giggled. I couldn't be mad, I just had to laugh. That will be the last time I leave baby food in the diaper bag.


We took her camping for the first time this weekend. It was a lot of fun. I was worried that she wouldn't sleep well, but she slept better then me and Devin.
Such a mess! Bug spray, layered with mud, layered with sunscreen, layered with more dirt. She was one messing baby.

Well we are back in Rexburg. Devin is enjoying his job, and I'm so happy that he is. We are excited to be back in the area. I'm so excited to see how things will turn out! We are looking for a place to buy, which is so exciting. We will probably get in a smaller older home for now, but it will be fun to have our own place, that we can call ours.
