"My Girl Wants to Party all the Time..."

...Party all the Time.

It has been a busy past month of partying in our household and on visits to other familial households as well. We had a super fun St. Patrick's Day party at my parents house with a most of the Granat's in attendance (minus a very sad Kirse and fam and very pregnant Christy). It was green, yummy, funny, messy and LOUD. Those cousins sure do have fun when they get together. What a bunch of goofballs. The weather cooperated for the most part and we were able to have a dance party and play outside for a large portion of the day.

I was lucky to get a new nephew a couple of weeks ago and Bailey was able to have a sleepover with Miss Esme. My brothers little girl. They had tons of fun and as it was Bailey's first ever cousin sleepover at her house. I was a bit nervous, but if they are as fun and easy as this one was; there will hopefully be many more to come.

Bailey has been able to spend quite a bit of time playing outside since the weather (minus a fun wind and winter storm this week) has been beautiful. She loves going to play at "Auntie Teddy's" house and run up and down the hill. She always gets treats and get to play in makeup - what's not to like?! They also just gave her a singing Elsa doll and she still refuses to "let it go". 

And then it was time for Easter! We were fortunate to spend Easter day with my brother and his family. Bailey dyed Easter eggs and then we had an Easter egg hunt. It was super fun. This year the Easter Bunny brought some glitter princesses whose outfits are interchangeable and some candy for the entire household to enjoy. Bailey was also super excited for her Avengers cup and reminds us often that the Hulk is one of her favorites along with Captain America. Trevor couldn't be prouder that she knows her superheroes. 

Silliness and fun continue in the Smith household of course. Here are a few I was lucky to capture.

"It's been a long time coming...

...But a change is gonna come..."

It has been a month of changes. 

Weather, pull-ups, diapers, time, and lastly my hair. It happened. I chopped it off and dyed it (for the first time ever) red. I love it so much and I am definitely feeling a bit sassier. Everyone seems to love it other than my mom who feels that I've destroyed "your one beauty" (Little Women). Oh well - it will grow back so don't hate too hard mom. I donated the 12+ inch long braid and hopefully my hair will bring others joy. It was definitely feeling like a heavy quilt of hair; quite pretty sure; but too much of it.

I am now feeling fun and ready for spring. We sprang forward and I don't know how one little hour can cause such chaos and horror, but it has. Ever since the time change Bailey thinks she and I are supposed to play for at least an hour in the middle of the night. She also doesn't want to go to sleep. So it's a real win win going on in our house at the moment.

Weather. Utah weather is always a bit bizarro, but this month has been particularly confusing. We finally got some snow, much to Baileys joy, then sunny 65+ degrees, cold again and then more wind and rain. Make up your mind. My wardrobe can't take it. :) 

Potty training continues. I don't know how any parent has ever done this. It's the worst. I think we are close to completion, but I don't want to jinx it. 

We are headed to Idaho this weekend for some Granat Irish fun. St. Patrick's Day celebration fun here we come. I am pleasantly surprised to find out I have an actual (rather then hoped for) Irish background then previously known. Thanks goodness for my little Bailey O'Quinn. This information is thanks to the dna tests my parents received from my aunt and uncle for Christmas. Super cool! 

So a family party celebrating St Patrick isn't that off the mark or the Blarney Stone. 

Have a wonderful rest of March adventurers. May the luck of the Irish be with ye.
