Christmas Fun!!!

One messy Kitchen later we had a beautiful graham cracker house. Mara did a good job sticking candy all over it and eating the rice crispy treat bushes that we didn't use. Merry Christmas!!!

Meet my newest little princess. Yep that's right we had a girl:) Her name is Bria Aayla (and yes they are both names from Star Wars) sorry I haven't blogged in awhile but well I've been busy with this cute little girl!


As a matter of fact she is smiling at me right now so I think I had better log off and play with both of these little cuties:)
p.s. isn't this a cool picture I told Mara to growl like a bear and Bria decided to join in!

Princess Mara

Stephanie decided that it would be fun to do a tea party/princess session with Mara and she was so right:) I love love love these pictures:) My sister is so talented:) I wish that I had half her talent. I hope that you all enjoy them as much as I do!

Baby and Poop

The pregnancy is going well. Went to the doctor today. They baby is healthy and measuring a week ahead of my due date:) That just means I will be having another big baby since I am having a 2nd c-section and I'm pretty sure she won't take her/him more then a week early.

Mara is convinced we are having a girl and started crying today when I tried to convince her that it would be okay if it was a boy. She really wants a sister. I'm just hoping if it comes out a boy that she will be okay with it. :) She has told me and I qoute "I won't love it if it's a boy" ha ha silly kid I had her okay with the idea of a boy for about a month but we are back to the baby needing to be a girl. When you tell her it might be a brother she just looks at you and says "nope Ashlynn's getting a brother I'm getting a sister"

On a side note Mara is mostly potty trained. She has no problem with going pee in the potty but she will hold her poop in for 4 or 5 days just so she doesn't have to do it in the potty silly kid. We have had a battle on our hands when it comes to the poop. Well yesterday she told me that she is a pony (she is obsessed with horses and ponies) and that ponies poop in the grass so she needs to go outside and poop in the grass. Needless to say we had to have a talk about how being a pony is pretend and she is a human so she needs to learn to poop in the potty. I told you she is a silly kid but she also comes up with rather logical reasons as to why she shouldn't have to do stuff.

Wish I could add some pictures for you but I don't think that's going to happen today. (dumb computer)

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. Something is wrong with the picture viewer on my computer. So I haven't been able to really look at any of the pictures that I have taken lately.

Things are going pretty good though. I'm getting rather pregnant, Josh is working crazy hours, Brant is Mara's new favorite person to follow around, and Mara might have to get her tonsils out. All in all we are all happy though.

They say all good things come in 3's

So as you can see from the picture I'm pregnant! Stephanie and Brittany are also pregnant and that is why all good things come in 3's. Josh and I are already having a hard time picking names since we aren't going to find out what the baby is, meaning we need to pick two names, a boy name and a girl name. Mara is constantly telling me she is going to be a big sister and that when the baby gets here she is going to hold her as Mara thinks it's a girl. She then promptly tells me that she can't hold her yet because the baby isn't big enough and it needs to stay in there and grow.

So we are placing a couple of polls on the side bar with some of the names we are thinking about. Yes many of them are Star Wars related since Josh loves Star Wars and Mara's name is from Star Wars. Please take a moment to vote on what ones you like best.

kids and kidney stones

These are some picture from a few weeks back when Mara and I spent a few days at my sisters helping her out while she passed a kidney stone!!! Something I hope I never have to go through, and she had to do it while pregnant! I love the pictures my kid has a silly look on her face in all of them and the close up of the boys are really close but we were having fun and that's what counts:)
