Snowman Cupcakes

I made these cute snowman cupcakes a few weeks ago with my niece Emily and I thought I would share a few pictures of them! Emily had been asking for days to make snow man cupcakes, so I finally gave in and made some! I just did a simple vanilla cupcake recipe with vanilla butter cream frosting. Here are a few pictures of the cupcakes!

I love being an aunt! {ADDISON}

ADDISON ISABELLA JOHNSON

Addie Belle is the newest addition to our crew of kiddos! She is so precious and sweet! I love holding and rocking this little sweetheart! I am so grateful for the blessing she has been in all of our lives. Addie was the first of my nieces and nephews that I was able to be there at her birth, that was an incredible experience and I am so glad that I got to be a part of it! I love you Addie Belle! I can't wait to see the cute little girl you grow up to be!

I love being an aunt! {LIAM}

Liam Ezra Whittle

Liam is a cutie! I have loved having him and his family back in Utah! I missed them all so much! I have loved getting to know this little boy more over the past few weeks. He has such a fun personality, he is always so busy and on the go! He is always happy, and loves playing with toys! I love you Liam! I can't wait to see the young man you become!

I love being an aunt! {TAYDEN}

TAYDEN JAY HALL

Tayden is such a sweetheart! He has been growing up so much lately! He is getting to that stage where he doesn't ever want to be held and he just wants to walk around and play with all of the big kids! He is so sweet and will grow up to be quite popular with all of the girls with those big brown eyes! He is always on the go and very busy! I have loved seeing how cute he is with Lexi and Brecken and I can't wait to see how he is with his new sister that will be here in March! I love you Tayden! You are so sweet and loving!


Tayden and I on a Sunday walk to visit Uncle Jason at the Cemetery.


When Tayden was first born, meeting his big sister and brother.


This past summer when I watched him for a few weeks while Lexi and Brecken were at swimming lessons!



Playing with the Backyardigan guitar, which seems to be every kid's favorite toy (and the most annoying!)

I love being an aunt! {EMILY}

EMILY BRISTOL DE SILVA


I tend to have a lot of silly pictures of Emily on my phone. I love all of the expressions that this cute little girl has! I have loved being able to be there for her ever since she was born and I am so grateful for the blessing she is in my life! I can't wait to see the incredible young lady she will grow to become! I love you sweet Emily! 

This is Emily's "grossed out" face! 

There it is again!





I walked into my room one day to find that Emily had brought my pillow and her blanket into the corner on the floor and decide to try and nap! Silly girl!

Me and Emily doing a face mask (you can barely see hers, because I only put a few dots of it on!)



One day me and Emily went and helped Auntie Lala run some errands. Emily was so excited about her packed lunch that she gobbled all of the food in her "lunch bag" right up!

I love being an aunt! {LINCOLN}

LINCOLN ANDREW WHITTLE

Lincoln is the sweetest little angel! I love how his glowing smile can always brighten my day! He has really been a true light in all of our lives! I remember when Lincoln was born, he was in the NICU for a while, so I didn't get to hold him until he was home, which I think was a few weeks after he was born. We could only see him through the window. He was so cute and it was so heartbreaking to only be able to see him through the window. I loved being able to finally hold him. I fell in love with him the moment I saw him. I am so proud of how much he is growing up in the past year! He has accomplished so many new things! I love you Lincoln! You are a sweetie!



Lincoln loved seeing himself in the front facing camera on my phone!
How can that smile not brighten your day?!



Lincoln and Olivia when he was just little bitty!


Poor little baby in the NICU.

I love being an aunt! {OLIVIA}

OLIVIA EVOLETT WHITTLE

Olivia is the third of 8 (almost 9) nieces and nephews. She is a real cutie! I love that little girl so much! I remember when Crysta was pregnant with her! I would always go help Crysta watch the kids she babysat, so I was there a lot during the end of her pregnancy. I remember one day she was trying to decide whether or not she would have her soon, I remember guessing it would be soon and then she finally had her! I loved how fun it was to guess when she would be born. I have loved seeing this little girl's personality grow! She is going to grow up to be such an incredible young lady!

All of these pictures are from when she was really little, but it is what I could find!



Olivia being a silly goose!
