HAPPY EASTER!

Today we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  How blessed we are to know that through the Atonement, we can one day return to live with Him.  I'm so grateful for his Sacrifice for me, and for the peace we can obtain in this life, and the promise of a beautiful eternity.

THE REIDHEAD's EASTER EVENTS!!!
Playing at the PARK!!!!
 On Friday B and I joined our MOMsClub of San Tan Valley
for a morning of fun & easter egg hunting at the park!  We had a blast, 
and B loved finding all the bright colored eggs! 
(and I was a great mom and totally forgot to bring her basket- poor girl!)
 Brightlie & Me- egg-static about Easter!
 Running as fast as she could, she had so much fun finding the eggs!

 On Sat. we vistied the new Feed Barn that opened up by
our home and guess what they had?!  Baby Chicks!!!!  The lady
was so nice to B and let her hold one! B was thrilled!!!!
(And Paul almost bought her one!- yes, he is a spoiler of his lil girl)
 Pure joy!
 We enjoyed spending the Easter weekend together 
and having our sweet little Brightlie, who makes holidays 
so much more exciting!  The joy she gets from such small things makes me
remember that even though life is crazy as an adult, sometimes I need to 
let loose and be a kid again, even if only for a moment......

"Suffer the children to come to me" - Jesus 
Cutie Pie!!!  The Easter Bunny brought Brightlie 
2 books, the Tigger Movie, bunny slippers, a coloring book, sunglasses, and a new sundress.
Oh, and a big THANKS to my MIL, who made Brightlie's beautiful brown and pink Easter Dress!
Brightlie with her 'brother' Bennett. 
 (He calls her his sister).  How funny that 
he is 3 and B is as big as him!  He adores his
"Bwitlee"

Adventures in April!

Spring is here, and Brightlie is blooming!  This sweet, sweet girl brings us so much joy!  Her name truly was inspired, and fits her perfectly!  We love taking pictures, going on outings and playing all day, everyday!  We love you Brightlie girl!  

 Brightlie looking great in pigtails and her tye-dye tutu outfit Grandma Biggs
bought her!  We love being girlie!

 We have fun going to ASU East and visting daddy during
his lunch break- yum!

 B's hair is getting long- look how cute it looks
all blow dried out straight!

 B loves bath time- and her new addition is her
bright green cup!  (it's really to help rinse her hair without 
a fight!)

 Rules?  What rules?  I came to play!

 This week we joined  the San Tan Valley,
international MOMSClub!  We had fun playing
and meeting new friends at Desert Mnt. Park.

 Cutie pie, jail bird!  (Even in a mug shot, I
think she'd look good.)

 She is getting so long!  And she loves going down the slide!

 Happy girl!
Check out this stylish outfit-
daddy's hat, sparkley shirt, cupcake purple shorts, & hott pink leggings!
YES, you know you want it! 

 Daddy is so happy when he is hugging and 
spending time with his baby girl!

 B loves for her daddy to read to her each night.

 And Brightlie also gets super animated
as she reads to herself!  It's hilarious!
 And she LOVES shoes!!! 
 (Yes, I am very pleased- she is my child for sure!)

Although this pic is not the most flattering, 
I hope it makes you laugh!  Cuz I sure did!  This
is B's classic smiley face- "CHEEEEZZZZ"!

3 Yrs. Ago..... on April 4, 2008...we said "I Do"!

3 yrs. ago, on Nov. 23, 2007, a boy asked me a simple but important question...
 a simple enthusiastic "YES!" was my reply
- and it was the BEST decision of my LIFE!!!!!!!

 I can't believe we are already celebrating our 3rd Anniversary together!!!!  Time goes so fast... and yet part of me wants to celebrate 8 yrs. (minus 2 for a mission).  Wow-Paul and I have been together for a really long time!!!  I am so thankful for such a wonderful husband, who is my best friend, my high school crush, super hott, loving, patient, supportive, intelligent, and great daddy, and pretty much the greatest man I know.  Together we have so much fun, and we love our crazy life together!

 Together Forever!!!!  Happy 3 yrs!!!!
For gifts this yr. (we are so on the same page!) we bought each other
Relic watches!  What a great way to celebrate our "Time" together!

 Eating out at the Macaroni Grill!
"our" special restaurant- our very first date, along with all other important events!
(too bad the waiter took the pic and it was out of focus)
Afterwards we went to the movies and saw Beastly, a good chick-flick!

 This week Brightlie and I went out to lunch with
 "Nana" Biggs (My grandma) to Paradise Bakery!
Brightlie loved the big Fountain out front  :)

 "Mommy!  AAAHHHHH!   NO more pictures!!!!"
(hahah! I see a resemblance though, do you?)

 Brightlie and Nana- having so much fun!

 Happy 25th Birthday to my best friend Tiffany!
It was fun to spend half the day with her and let our girls play while we
talked about life, drama, adventures, kids, and growing up.  :)  

hahaha- They say a picture is worth a thousand words  :)

This is Brightlie, right after eating a lemon at Texas Road House!
(ps. she has eaten them before no problem- guess her taste
buds finally kicked in!)

April is in Bloom!

This past 2 weeks have been great!  We are sad that the weather is hitting the high 90's, but we are enjoying the Spring days, warm weather, & are excited for summer break to soon be here.  Our lives revolve around our growing girl, friends and family!  Life at the Reidhead home is in full bloom, and i'm thinking we're smelling roses!!! 

 
Brightlie & Great Grandpa
 Hanging out & playing w/ Great Grandpa Schupple!  (my Mom's dad)

 Me & Grandma Gisela (step-Grandma Schupple)
I hope I look as good as her when I'm older...  :)

" Hey Paul, I think it's Brightlie who is supposed to be napping!"

 Went to see Brent & Amanda's new house-
Brightlie & Landon had fun together!

 Well, we are WORKING on mastering using a spoon-
I think Brightlie is pretty funny about it! She's enjoying her yogurt!

Brightlie at the Park, celebrating cousin
Maddox's 1st birthday! 

 B is figuring out how to color!
She thinks it is quite fun! (when she isn't trying to eat the crayons)

 Say "Cheese!!!!!"  I mean, Spaghetti!  Yummy Yum!

B enjoyed having cousin Karson over to play!
They are almost the same age, so when I took them
 to Coscto- everyone loved my 'twins'! 

Out to eat last night with our neighbors!!!!
We went to Uncle Bears for Karaoke- it was a blast!

 Me & my hubby!  So happy together!!!!

 B is starting to like dress up clothes- she 
decided to be Cinderella today  :)

Brightlie & her Prince Charming
she loves daddy sooooo much!!!!
