Movie Night


So I have the best husband who decided for our movie night with the kids he would project it onto the wall for a big theater screen. He did it on our bedroom wall and we laid on our bed and watched it. The kids LOVED it and thought it was the coolest thing ever!


The big screen!


My cute family with the popcorn getting ready to watch.


After the movie was over the kids were having fun playing with the projector and making monsters. I lvoe my family so much and love just hanging out with them like this!

4 Years!


January 28th was our anniversary so we left the kids at my mom's and went to Las Vegas! I was so much fun to get away and just spend time with TJ. We were thinking about it and we realized the last time we took a vacation just the two of us was our honeymoon! We really had so much fun just hanging out together playing games, watching movies, and looking around the city.


One of our favorite things we saw was the dolphins, lions, and tigers at the Mirage. It was really cool and they were all so active!



TJ was SO sweet to me and made me such good breakfasts every morning we were there. He's the best!



Here are some pictures from the day we got married. It really was THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE! I can't believe I got such an amazing guy to marry me and take on me and my sweet Lauryn. I love him more than anything and can't imagine my life without him there every day to help me along and to love. He is seriously my best friend and we have so much fun together. I think my love for him grows daily and I can't wait to spend forever with him! HE IS THE BEST!





I LOVE YOU BABE!

*January 23rd*


Yesterday was my sister Jani and Braxton's birthday. I love that I had a baby on my sister's birthday so they can be buddy's forever now. Happy Birthday Jani!


Braxton turned 3 yesterday and I seriously can't believe he is that old. It still feels like I had him a year ago. He is such a fun kid to have around and we love his sweet little personality. He is such an easy kid and just adapts to everything so well. He is the best cuddler and is every one's little buddy.


We started off the day opening his presents and playing with all of his balloons. He LOVES presents and doesn't really take any time to even look at what he got because he can't wait to open the next. Then we made chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast and played with his toys a little more. After that I had a doctors appointment so TJ took him with him to his friends shop to get the car fixed and then he got to go out to lunch with the guys.




Next we took him to Kangaroo Zoo to play. He LOVES it more and more every time we go and he had the best time. I couldn't believe how much fun he had and he was able to climb up everything on his own this time.





He was so tired from playing so hard that on the way home he passed out in his seat.


We came home and I made him homemade macaroni and cheese for dinner. Then we had his ice cream cake and watched a movie together.



It was such a good day and I am just so happy we have this little boy in our family. We love you Braxton!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting Ready

We are SO excited for this little baby girl that are going to be having soon. I have been so excited that I really couldn't stand it any longer and have gotten most of her room ready. It is still in the works so this is just a preview. There will be more decorations added. Yay! I don't think I have ever been this ready for a baby so I really can't wait. It's killing me.




I love her bedding. It is pink and brown suede. It is super soft and so dang cute. My favorite part is the star mobile.

I am loving the part of dolling this girl up. I definitely missed it with Braxton last time. Here are all of her bracelets that i've made her.



I am up for any suggestions on cute things to do for her room. I am working on a couple little projects too that I will have to post when I'm done.

Lowes With Grammy


This last Saturday my mom took my kids to the Lowes for their free activity that they do for the kids. My sister who lives in North Carolina and I had planned on taking our kids and then they could see each other doing the same thing across the country. My kids slept over at my mom's so she (being the good grandma she is) took my kids for me. They LOVED it.

They made time capsules. Got an apron, hammer, goggles, a badge, and a certificate all for FREE.








Here they are painting them. Apparently when they were walking out of Lowe's Lauryn said, " I finally have a job!". She loved it and is constantly wearing her apron and goggles and trying to find anything she can fix. We will definitely be going every month to Lowes and Home Depot.

THANKS GRAMMY!

FINALLY!!!!!!

Lauryn finally was ready to be brave and get her ears pierced! It was so random this morning when I causally said to her "You need to get your ears pierced" and she immediately couldn't stop talking about doing it. Usually she'll say " NO! It will hurt". I was shocked and thought she would just change her mind in a minute but she didn't. We waited until after lunch and she was still convinced she was ready so we were off to the mall! She was so brave and didn't cry at all! She was so excited and just climbed right up in the chair and was ready to go. When the girls got ready to pierce her ears she got the most nervous face but she still didn't flinch or cry when they did it. She was pretty stunned after but was so happy it was over with. We are so excited for her and being able to buy her some cute new earrings!





Sledding


We went sledding as a family last week and had so much fun. We found a really good hill right in our neighborhood and I was able to go down twice with them but after that I couldn't climb it anymore. TJ was such a trooper with the kids and they all had a blast. I sure do LOVE my family!


This picture is one of my favorite pictures EVER!


Look What Happened!


Lauryn lost her first tooth on December 22nd. It sure was an exciting week for her. The tooth fairy and santa both came in a couple days. She was upstairs watching a movie and tried to get the sippy lid off of her cup with her mouth and she said it just popped the tooth right off. I was so proud of her because I was sure she would be freaking out. If Lauryn see's blood on her she immediatly has a panick attack but she was so excited and happy! I can't believe we have a kid big enough to be loosing her teeth!
