Cupcake Decorating with Lexi & Lauren

Here are some pictures from my awesome day with Pres! We took it easy, cleaned the house & then she helped me bake cupcakes, which we decorated with our friends Lexi & Lauren.


Her favorite thing to do...help mama cook!


She would stir all day if she could, she loves it!


Presley the artist.


Lexi & Lauren hard at work.


Tadaaaa!!

The two recognizable reindeer of the pack.


Presley's "Reindeer" cupcake.


Trying to decide whether it's "peem" (ice cream) or "chockit milk"...she hasn't had frosting very much yet.

Sweet kisses!


The frosted face that takes my breath away...


P decided the m&m filled candy cane was a Peewee size walking cane.


Pres decided to give Dada a new 'do when he got home.


Daddy being a stinker with Peewee...they look so much alike!

Precious Moments

This morning my Gram wasn't doing so hot and had to go up to Huntsman Cancer Institute, her home away from home. I took the morning off until my sister could get there to watch Peewee, and I was really pleasantly surprised when she didn't want me to leave. When I picked her up to hug her good-bye, she held on to me so tight! She usually doesn't mind too much when Greg and I leave for work, because she knows she'll see us in a few hours. God keeps giving me little moments like this and I'm so thankful! Tomorrow I start my part-time schedule which means I get a whole day off with my Peewee, Hallelujah!

Photoshop + HTML + Midnight + Greg & Tiff = Win

So we just hand made our own blogger layout...what do you think? It took a few tries and it was pretty much a pain in the petunia, but on a scale of 1 to 1,000 I give it a 947. Greg was sweet enough to stay up with me and answer HTML questions...but now that it's presentable I think we'll get some sleep.

Personal DNA

I (Tiff) just took this really cool personality test at personalDNA.com...here is a little summary of my results. I think they are pretty accurate. Just hover over each colored box with your mouse and it will tell you what each one means. Go to the site and learn something about yourself!

Presley Pics

As per several requests from the fam...here are some pics of Presley. I'm at work so I only have the ones from my phone, but they are still pretty awesome. I will post some more recent pictures (birthday party, trip to Maine) soon...

Happy Christmas

For those of you who aren't cool enough to be getting our Christmas card (or probably I just don't have your address), here is a little preview. Happy Holidays!

First family blog post EVAR....

So we decided to create a little blog for our little family, this way all our adoring fans can keep up with our busy rockstar lifestyle. For those of you that blinked and missed it, our little Presley is 2. We just had her birthday party last week and it couldn't have been more fun. She got some great gifts, thanks to everyone who was able to make it! On a similar note, Greg just turned 25 yesterday....unlike Pres, he doesn't look any older.

Things are going pretty well for us these days. Greg is FINALLY programming; which, if you know him at all, is obviously the perfect job for him. He really loves it and is doing great and learning a ton. I am working at the same company as the Admin, and my job isn't nearly as important or challenging. However, it is a great company to work for and we're having a blast working together. We just worked it out so that I will be working part-time instead of full-time though. It's been hard to be away from Presley so much, but I still want to contribute to our income (if only a tiny bit). It actually worked out perfectly because my sister was looking for a job, so she will be taking the part-time slot that my decrease in hours has opened up.

God has been getting really creative in the ways he works in our lives lately. We've just started helping with the youth at our church, which has been such a huge blessing! We are still trying to get to know all the kids, but I already feel like I have learned a lot from them just by watching them and hearing the questions they ask and so on....I've probably learned more from them already than I will ever be able to teach them. I'm also leading worship for them on Sunday mornings, which has been another tremendous blessing. I had been praying for an opportunity to get plugged in with some kind of music ministry, and God opened up the perfect door....as usual!

Presley is speaking in full sentences now, which is still kind of weird to hear. She doesn't seem big enough to know some of the words she knows. She is incredibly smart just like her daddy. Today we came home for lunch and when Greg said "Okay P, mommy and daddy have to go back to work," she replied "Daddy go work, Mommy stay here." What an awesome gift she is, and I am so excited to have more time with her now!
