Ashlyn turns 2!

We had a really fun birthday for Ashlyn. Ashlyn got stretchy spiders, pjs, and a stroller. The only thing she likes is the stroller. My older kids were screaming because the spiders stick to the ceiling and then fall so, now Ashlyn is afraid of them. She really liked the spiders until they did that. I think she doesn't like her pjs because the spiders and the pjs were wrapped together. Its the only thing I can think of. I hope you enjoy the video.

Disneyland

So Disneyland was so much fun. I loved every minute of it. The only day that was a little awkward and eye opening was Sat. Apparently the gay community has Gay Days at Disneyland and we got stuck right in the middle of it. Lucky for me I had a red poncho so I fit right in with the rest of them ( red was their color this yr). Ugh right? I was so thankful my kids were not there. I am not ready to cross that bridge yet. I pretty much just looked straight ahead and not pay any attention to it. Otherwise I think my jaw would have been dropped more then it was. Word to the wise the first weekend in Oct. is gay days. Anyway, life is good. I had my first baby appointment and found out I am 8 weeks. The baby looks like a peanut. I have been very nauseous with this baby so I am looking forward to getting over that. Other than that my kids are doing great. I feel blessed as usual to have such awesome kids. I will post pictures as soon as i find my camera.

Dillon gets glasses

We just found out that Dillon does in fact need glasses. I can't wait for them to come in because he will look so handsome. I never new trying to find BOY glasses could be so difficult. The lady at the glasses store kept laughing at me and telling me I had girlie glasses on Dillon ( they didn't look that girlie to me). Another wonderful adventure with my kids. We also learned that if our kids would be born with my right eye and Camdens left eye they could maybe get away with no glasses at all. Well I don't know how it works but that never seems to happen. Hope all is well with everyone else. We love and miss our family and think about everyone often. Marisa

My new haircut!

Whenever I get pregnant I always start changing my hair color so I feel like I still have some control. My friend and I bought a box of color and dyed each others hair. Then I decided I needed a shorter cut. Anyway, here is my new haircut. It feels so much better so I am glad I did it.

For those who asked I think I am due in May. My dad is hoping for May 12th because that is his BD. We shall see. My babies never come when I want them to. So maybe it will come for Opa.

Baby # 5

We are so excited to be having another baby. Lucky for me I don't get morning sickness or anything. I have noticed that I seem to be showing faster with this pregnancy then any other. Is that possible?? Anyway I was going to wait to let others know but I am to excited. Take the news as you will. Marisa

Reality Bites

Wishing I was there again. I am addicted to the lake. The reality of life sometimes doesn't seem as exciting as the lake.... sigh. Oh well there is to much to be grateful for... like winter time and snow skiing. Am I right? I love skiing! My very patient and loving husband taught me last year and so what can I say but I am addicted to that too. My sister n law learned last yr and she is crazy. She raced down midway quote, " because she loves speed" only to crash at the bottom and lost her glasses. Can't wait to see that again. It was quite funny. Well its late and I am a tired mom so I checked out, I mean I am checking out. Although I do check out quite often. Loves Marisa

Committed

We have committed our lives the next few months to soccer. The kids have practice Tues, Wed, and Thursday. Then, bright and early on Sat. we have to be at the soccer field for games. Half of our Sat. is spent there. I actually love it. Kids are so cute and fun and its exciting to see how they grow and change each year. Dillon is the biggest crack up because he doesn't want to fight the other kids for the ball. He patiently waits and when the ball is stopped for one reason or the other he strikes and takes off kicking the ball. Everyone will be yelling at him to stop and he just laughs and has the best time. I must admit that I get a little embarrassed by this; however, kids will be kids. Life is great and I feel greatly blessed by the Lord. I really feel the inspirations in families and how we are so important here on earth. I hope I can always remember to see my kids they way the Lord does and treat them the way they deserve. I find it so amusing how the Lord teaches me a lesson when I am trying to teach me kids a lesson. Anyway, I hope all is well with everyone. I love all the comments and would love to keep in better contact with everyone.
