Sea World

Billy had the day off of work and school which is rare so he took us to Sea world for the day it was alot of fun to spend the whole day as a family everyone had a good time especially Holden. Afterwards we went to dinner and poor Holden was so tired one minuete he was just sitting there and the next his eyes were shut, he had driffted off to sleep while sitting there.


So here are a few pictures from the day.
Holden's first real ride he was really excited until he remembered that he was afraid of heights.

Holden and Billy being silly of course.

when your kids are sick

They steal your bed!

I have no idea how all four of us still fit in our bed when both of them want to sleep with us but we do and I can only imagine what we will do when we have more kids we might just have to turn our bed sideways and let poor Billy's feet hang off then end.

house hunting is totally not awesome

no one told me that it sucked. Billy already owned our house when we got married so I didn't really get a say in the matter and now that we are ready to buy a bigger house for our growing family it is not as much fun as I thought it would be. Every time one of our friends was telling us about buying their house I would always say "that must be so much fun I can't wait until I get to to that" why didn't they tell me. It is not fun at all!! One day we'll buy a brand new house so we get to pick exactly how we want it until then i guess we will just have to settle on dirty carpets hideous bright orange paint and weird smells, is it too much to ask for a house with a functional floor plan in a good neighborhood (yes I know this is lancaster) and a decent school. Hopefully this will come to an end soon and I can blog about my awesome new house and put a cheesy family picture out in our new front yard up and then I can say it was worth the frustration and how silly it was to whine about it. Wish me luck.

My Secret Lover

well I guess it's not really a secret for anyone who hangs out with us for very long but Yes I do love this man!

I'm not sure why he does this but he always makes goofy faces when I try to get a nice picture of him and apparently he has passed this trait along to our children.

It's never boring at our house, he has a way of making anything more fun, I find myself telling him to grow up at times even though I know that is just not possible for him he is who he is but thats why we all love him.

He is a sweet Dad, he always get the kids to relax with him I can't even count how many times I've found him asleep on the couch holding one of our sleeping babies. He gets up with the kids every morning that he is at home, he fixes breakfast, he changes diapers even cloth ones, he entertains them so I can sleep in, I'm sure lots of dads do these things but I still think he's the best

I guess these pictures can explain why he's so awesome, next time he is being annoying I can just come read my blog and remeber all the things I love about him and how he always makes me smile and that I should never not appreciate the things he does and the person he is.

Princess Buttercup

I love having pets but since Holden is extremely allergic to dogs and cats we couldn't have one but it turns out rabbits are ok so Ashlynn got a new bunny for Easter. Holden got a new bike but when I tried to explain that the bunny is Ashlynn's I watch his heart brake right before my eyes and I couldn't handle braking my own childs heart so I quickly said it was for him too if he wanted. They both think it's fun crawling around under the table following her and watching her hop around. Princess buttercup is a great pet she doesn't bark and try to bite the neighborhood kids, she only goes to the bathroom in one place so she is easy to clean up after, she is small enough to hold on your lap, and best of all she makes my kids smile.

Breakfast of Champions!

Mmmm pizza.

It was Holden's turn to pick breakfast and Ashlynn agreed, i was outnumbered and forced to eat pizza for breakfast but at least it had pinapple on it.

Road Trip

Three and a half hours in the car with a baby and two boys who don't seem to notice that I am in fact a lady and DO NOT appreciate farting as much as they do
A few short tears from being so tired

and 12 billion tumbleweeds later
we were in Vegas.
Our friend Darcy decided to get married in Vegas so we went along for the ride plus Billy was his best man, he wore a tux and all. I was hoping that Elvis would be the one marrying the new couple but they didn't share my enthusiasm for the King, they decided to go for a classy cerimony in a real chapel in Mandelay Bay it was a very beatuful cerimony though. Ashlynn threw goldfish crackers on the floor along with the rose petals, hopefully the bride didn't notice the crunching beneath her feat as she walked down the isle I guess next time I'll know better than to take Ashlynn to a wedding. Overal it was a fun weekend and at least we got a nice picture of Billy in a tux.

Billy was pretty excited that my brother Zach came with us they had a lot of fun together

Back off ladies!!! He's all mine.
Sweet Uncle Zach helping Ashlynn make a wish
And I got a new pair of shoes at the outlet mall this was a great weekend!!!!
