huge update ??

Life has been crazy busy lately -or it just feels that way -or something?
Anywho we've had family in-and-out and in-and-out for the passed 3 months 
It has been awesome! 
We've never had a year where we got to get together with so much family!
My family even got family pics! -which hasn't been done since I was 4!
We 5 kids haven't even been all together since before I was married!
Here's my favs:
our true family
 the one where my big bro surprised us all with a steamroller flashback
 and we had our own little shoot

Then a couple weeks ago we got to go out to California for our nephew's baptism 
It was amazing! seriously the best baptism I've ever attended. EVER.
And my brother and sister in law had so much fun stuff planned!
I'm dumb and forgot to bring my camera but we went to the beach 
(Cole had his phone)
-the pics are awful 
Cole insisted we keep his phone in a plastic baggy to protect it from sand and such 
:) he's cute and smart




We went out to this fun cute frozen yogurt shop!
We got to go up in the mountains to a cute little apple farm where you can press your own cider
 the kids really loved the petting zoo
 -I really loved the crisp mountain air -and the crisp cider mmm.
We had a movie night -filled with TONS of treats!
It was a super great trip I can't wait to go back again!

We celebrated Ashtyn's 3rd birthday! I can't believe how old she's getting!
-again forgot my camera 
which is a super bummer because I made this giant my little pony castle, and pony cupcakes
and super cute decor 
-she LOVES my little pony and wanted a pinkie pie party so I had literally
prepared for months!
(again Cole's phone :)not in plastic this time )



 "uh Grey.. you've got a little Rainbow Dash on your face"

Law ran his first race :) it was a fundraiser for school he did awesome!
and -thanks to my crazy big brother- 
raised TONS of money for his school!

 he's so cute and serious!

Ashtyn got to go out for her Grandma Grandpa birthday date!
She's spoiled!
They know she loves horses so they took her for a little ride :)


She had a blast and is still talking about it every chance she gets!

Law finished his first track of school, he's doing so good and loves his new teacher!
He got his tonsils and adenoids out yesterday 
so hopefully when he goes back he'll miss a lot less school! 
The surgery went well when he woke up he was the saddest thing ever! 
I'm so grateful for all those awesome CRNAs out there! :)
Law's nurse anesthetist was his best buddy throughout the surgery
 but ESPECIALLY when he woke up and they couldn't get his pain under control
he swooped in to the rescue :)
Law was able to calm right down and I wanted to cry I was so grateful!

I love your family pictures! They look amazing and you are one of the most photogenic people ever :) We were so happy to have you guys come for Max's baptism! It made the day extra special. So glad everything went okay for Law's surgery. Having your kids in the hospital for any reason is so unsettling.

waiting on 2 pink lines

So we just found out the other day that we're expecting our second child. I don't really know what to say because it doesn't feel like a reality, I'm still trying to grasp the thought that I have one! Anyrate I am due the 6th of March which seems so far away! I am so excited! I am also struggling with tons of feelings of anxiety and some worries, like will Law feel replaced or feel I don't love him as much? Will I love them both equally? etc. etc. Did/Do any of you have worries like this? How do I help Law cope with pregnancy and a new sibling? Any advice?

I REALLY don't like it when.....

MOMS, YOUR THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS NEEDED! A few months ago I was in Walmart :P with three VERY small children. Law was being a very happy playful self -which is rare so I REALLY enjoy these moments. Not bothering anyone or anything just being happy, laughing, and playing  when an old man came around the corner and SH'd him harshly it caught him off guard he was scared and sad. I didn't do anything -not because I agreed with the man that he needed to 'SSHHH!!' but because I just didn't know what to do! I have regretted not saying something to that man ever since. We are a loud family and Law does have a big voice but he didn't need to do that it was rude and uncalled for. Today I visited that same Walmart for the first time since then and my boys were running around the cart as I was checking out -just being happy, not being destructive at all -and believe me I'd be the first to admit if they were being too rowdy -it's not uncommon. However this time, lik...

Our Trip to Texas

Image
My eldest sister Diana moved to Texas last year with her six children who, since I spent time growing up with them, are like my little sisters and brothers! Now my other big sister Maria moved down there too! I love them all and miss them so much! Law and I had a chance to go and visit them for a whole WEEK! It was wonderful, so in this blog I am going to tell you a little bit about what we did, as well as tell you a little about my nieces, nephews and my big sisters! Since Maria was going to be moving down there she and Kennadee came to stay with us so we could all fly down together. I was so excited that someone was coming to see my new house that I went crazy cleaning everything! which didn't last long... I don't know if you can tell but those are tiny baby foot prints on my woodfloor -cute! We arrived in Austin where Diana and Aaron were waiting for us and drove to Hutto, where my two sistas now live! I love that the have water towers EVERYWHERE! We'll start with the k...
