Coming April 2013

October 4, 2012

We are excited to have a new little one join our family in the new year! We have decided not to find out what we are having this time around but Ezra says it's a girl!

Ezra's first day of Pre school....well kind of.

September 4, 2012

Ezra was so excited to start Pre school he could hardly stand it! He would ask is it today? Finally the first day had come. He was so excited! just as we were about to leave I realized it did start until the following week:( My poor heartbroken boy! There were tears shed. He did have a good time the next week when he really did get to go to pre school.

Potty training

August 27, 2012

Lucy had been showing some signs that she was ready to potty train. We decided to go for it. We ran out to target and let Lucy and Levi pick out underwear.

Of course Lucy picked princesses

Levi picked a Disney combo pack.....Cars, Toy Story and Incredibles.

Update: Levi did really get going with it in the beginning but with a little push has done really well. Lucy and Levi are totally potty trained now! They wear diapers at nap and bed but they mostly wake up dry. Of course they have accidents but that's normal for little ones.Dec. 29, 2012

TOMS party

August 17, 2012

I love my TOMS shoes! I got to have a party where a ton of shoes were brought to my house, people came and bought shoes and I earned some for free!

Sweet deal!!!

I did a milk and cookie bar for my guests

My shoes!!!

Utah Trip

August 13-16, 2012

We went on our first "long" trip (more than a four hour drive) as a family! We stayed with Grandma Gail.

The kids loved Grandma's peach tree!

Lucy and Grandma getting dolled up.

We got to go to our nephew's wedding. Congrats to Dylan and Diana! So not in this picture but in general I think Dylan and his Uncle Ryan look very similar.

The kids had a great time at the outdoor reception.

Dancing!

There is a place that I LOVE in Utah called Sub Zero. Here I am showing off the ice cream I had waited four years to have!

We got to see David! He is a fancy guy with a career now so he bought us dinner. Thanks David!

We had a great time visiting with friends and family! The kids loved staying at Grandma Gail's house! Ezra has been asking to go back.

The car ride home was not fun at all. The kids had had enough and cried the whole last hour of the trip. We will try it again.....but not any time soon!
