Snow Update


So this is what we woke up to this morning. It did not stop snowing all day yesterday and into the night. It is currently still snowing. This is the view out my front door, right after Lance shoveled the walk.


There is at least a foot on top of our fence, its crazy, wonder if its ever going to stop.


This is the view out my backyard. I'd say that visibility is quite limited.
Now I have to go get my kids in their snow suits cause I promised Corbyn that I would. Wish me luck.

Look what we got today!!

So it started to snow this morning, it didnt seem like much at the time, but then it never stopped. It has been snowing all day. I am not sure how much we have gotten, but there's alot out there. Corbyn is already asking if we can go sledding on the hill behind our house. His daddy will have to take him this year. I will will wait until I am abotu 38 weeks and then threaten my doc that if he doesnt do the c-section now, I will go put myself into labor. I am sure it wont work but cant hurt to try.
This is my front yard, yes my cute candy canes are almost covered and you cant even see my lights anymore.

Another view of my front yard.

This is my back porch and the rest of my backyard.


I let the dogs out to check the snow out. This is Layla's first snow and she doesnt seem to like it all that much, other than realizing that she can eat it.



Rusty loves the snow, he'll go out there and lay in it like its a nice sunny day, wierdo.

Its Another Boy!

Ok so apparently we can only get boys. I guess I forgot to post on here that I was having another boy. Even though its yet another I am really excited. Boys are fun and easy, at least mine are. I was running late the other day trying to get my boys ready and with one quick comb through their hair was done and then I thought oh if I was having a girl I would be in real trouble cause its something Im just not used to having to do, spend time doing hair. Yeah, I would love to have a girl, maybe next time. It will be fun to have all these tall boys in my house to do all my honey-do's since I am not tall. Anyways, there you have it, boys, boys, and more boys!!!

Here are our Halloween pictures. As you can see Blake was Spongebob, and Corbyn was Patrick, his dumb friend. This was all Corbyns idea. I couldn't believe I found costumes small enough for them. Thank you ebay.




So I was obesessed with Blakes hair this day cause he had just woke up from a nap and it was all over the place, it was cracking us up.



Here they are carving pumpkins, Corbyn loved doing this, Blake was alittle scared of them to tell you the truth. He really didnt like it when we lit them, but he soon got over it.


Oh my white trash looking boys, lovely.




GREETINGS FROM HAWAII!!

Ok so I have been a total slacker the last few months, I am finally getting around to getting my Hawaii pictures on here. Hope you enjoy.
These are pictures from Pearl Harbor, this is the Arizona Memorial and this is the ship that is able to be seen from above water.

This is the oil that is still leaking from the arizona battleship.

This is called the Blowhole Lookout, I am guessing because the water gets blown through the hole in the rock.


This was the sunset at Paradise Cove where we had a luau. It was lots of fun.


Here is another picture from Pearl Harbor. Lance was feeling a little envious.



Here we are a the Paradise Cove Luau again.


This is at Hanauma Bay, where lots of people go snorkeling and scuba diving. I chilled on the beach while Lance attempted. You know how I feel about the ocean.



Hanauma Bay again


This was at the Dole Pineapple Plantation. OK, so I have craved pineapple my whole pregnancy and everyone told me how much better it is in Hawaii. So I think I outate just about everyone. I could not get enough it was so good, so we went to the Dole Plantation mostly cause I wanted more pineapple, it is true, its way better in Hawaii. This does cause problems cause when you get home no other pineapple is as good.



This is me at Wimea Valley, a really sacred place. Lance loved these trees, like the one behind me they were huge and the tops all came together almost making a natural umbrella. It was a really pretty place. This was also the place where I saw a girl that looked just like Aimee, my sis. I am not exaggerating in any way, she was a spitting image of her with short hair. So I have decided that Aimee is just on a long vacation in Hawaii. It did give me a bit of a panic attack though.


Here we are at Wimea Falls which is at the end of Wimea Valley. You can get in the water and go swimming, but pregnant women are not allowed for some reason so that was out.



Here we are at the Temple. Its a really pretty temple but it is a lot smaller than I expected.



Here I am stopping to eat (again)at a shrimp shack, it was so good. Pretty much all we did was eat while we were there.



Here is the beach right by the shrimp shack, it was so bizarre that this was how the view was all the was around the island.

We're in Hawaii

Well we landed in Hawaii this morning at 5:15 after taking a red eye flight so lets just say that we are a little messed up on when to eat and sleep. Its so nice here, I will post some pics soon, today is our recuperation from flying all night. Even as tired as we are it has been alot of fun so far. Funny story though. Lance had been under the assumption that we were flying out on Sunday morning at 2:30. SO he called yesterday at 5 to check on our flight to make sure that it had not been cancelled and they proceeded to tell him yes it was still departing Saturday morning at 2:30. Anyone catch that? So he calls me from work in a panic and tells me that we are to fly out that night which meant we had to leave our house by 7 or 8 to make it to vegas before our flight. So lets just say that we were running around like crazy people trying to get packed, etc. So were are here a day earlier than planned but thats ok I dont mind one bit other than I miss my kids like crazy.

Picnic at Tropic Reservoir

Well, the a few Saturdays ago, Lance looked at me and asked me what we should do that day, and we didnt really have that much to do around the house so we decided to go to Tropic Reservoir for a picnic. The boys though it was so much fun. I guess we forget that we have places like this that are ten minutes from our house. Corbyn cant seem to get any cheesier in this picture
The found out about trhowing rocks into the lake.
Kay so I think they were overdoing it with the rock size a bit.

Blake chowing down on chips and dip.
Daddy and Corbyn eating lunch
Blake posin
How cute is this
Blake giving me a big kiss..

Our Beach Trip

So we recently got back from San Diego where my parents rented a beach house for a week. It was lots of fun. Most of the family were there and the kids got to do a lot of playing on the beach while the adults mostly ate. Here's Corbyn with some of his cousins at Point Loma
Here is the most decent pic I could get of my boys while at the tide pools at Point Loma.
Here are all the cousins that were there except for my bros kids and aimees kids
We attempted to get a decent family picture but as you can see it didnt quite work out

I told ashley I was going to put this at the front of my blog as my family picture. We were at the wild aminal park and she had to have a wheel chair so that the baby would stay in.
Blake at the wild animal park, he was really excited, can't you tell
Corbyn at the beach
Blake at the beach, he didnt like the water and he was scared of the sea weed, he thought they were fishies.
