Playing Catch Up

Yeah...I know its been awhile since I posted anything, it wasn't because I didn't have anything to post...I just really didn't feel like doing it. So know I have a ton of pictures and way too many to put up. So here is a little bit of an update about what we have been up to. One of these days I might post Spring Break & Easter...but don't hold your breathe :)

I know, not very exciting, but that's our lives. Sometimes we just barely get by, and then there are those times, although a little rare, we really have fun...to bad it's not more often. I know I don't post very often, but don't worry I still visit all of yours and love it when you update!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAYDEN!

Look who turned 2 today...Rayray!
I can't believe my baby is already 2. It doesn't seem that long ago that I was in denial about being in labor, barely made it to the hospital, and had our beautiful baby shortly after arriving. We are so happy Rayden is in our family...we love her soooo much!
Newborn Rayden
1 year old Rayden

Spunky 2 year old Rayden
Wow..this girl is incredible. I love her personality and her cute little voice, the way she says certain words (i.e. chocolate, popscile, & delicious), it is so entertaining to listen to her tell a story and try to keep up with her older sister & brother. She likes to yell at them & copy whatever I scream at them. She gives the best huggies and she loves people. She will say hi to just about everyone and then asks me what their names are. She is so animated & expressive and I just can't get enough of her. Of course she never throws a tantrum, cries, hits, spits, or is naughty.. haha..We still love her even when she is a little less lovable!
Happy Birthday Rayden!

Trip to Prague

I had the incredible opportunity to visit Prague in the Czech Republic with my Mom. It was an absolutely amazing experience and the chance of a life time I couldn't pass up. So I left my sweet husband & kids for 8 days and enjoyed some time a way in a foreign country. After about a 4hr flight to Atlanta & then a 9hr flight to Prague we arrived. To try and get use to the time change we stayed up the rest of the day and started exploring right away. The pictures don't even do this place justice, but hopefully you can get a taste of what we saw. Every day we saw something new and got to experience being a tourist in a foreign country. It was difficult to communicate (who speaks Czech?), and interesting making our way around the country, but we were able to see and do a lot in 7 days. My sister-in-law Heather had done a lot of research before we went so she really knew what & where we should go and what to see. We froze our butts off, surprisingly ate some yummy food (I thought I was going to starve, but ended up finding some yummy stuff...fruit dumplings :), and enjoyed being with everyone! We saw beautiful cathedrals and castles and buildings that where built so long ago and were just incredible. I have never used the public transportation system like we did on this trip. We took the metro, rode the tram, train, and buses, and it was rather an eye opening experience. It might be fun if you are young and single, but I saw women with strollers on the metro and people carting suitcases to here there and everywhere and had a much greater appreciation for my car. There are so many more pictures than these, but I couldn't put them all on... put the arrow over the pictures and it will pause it and tell you what it is if you want to know. Enjoy!


Thank you Mom for the incredible opportunity and for having so much fun with me. Thanks Billy & Heather for letting us tag along, visit all the sites, & for lots of good laughs. And thank you to my wonderful husband who took extra good care of my kids while I was gone, taking off work for a few days, & for the spotlessly clean house I got to come home to...trust me he is amazing! Also my mother-in-law for watching my kids a few extra days. I was so lucky to be able to go and couldn't have done it without you two. (That kinda sounded like I was accepting an award or something...oh well you get the point)

Happy Birthday Jason!

We celebrated Jason's birthday yesterday
Yea! Luck you..another year older :)
Started off with a breakfast

Opened some presents

Our dinner date to Texas Roadhouse
so yummy & no kids!!!!
Part of his present were Jazz tickets
I found some pretty good seats and he was rather surprised.
It was actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be,they had a really nice tribute to Larry H. Miller and they won! It was a fun night out and a great way to celebrate, especially if you know how much Jason loves sports!
Happy Birthday Babe...I love you!

Guess who got their ears pierced?

We finally decided to let Riley get her ear's pierced so we surprised her and took her on Valentine's Day! She was very excited and incredibly tough. Not one single tear! My parents made me wait until I was 14, and Riley has been begging to have it done, so I thought why wait.
