Happy St. Patty's Day!

For St. Patrick's Day we went to the Cabin to try out Ryan & Seth's  new target holder. I thought Ryan was totally nuts when he told me last week that he was going to Seth's to build this thing, but I guess it ended up being pretty fun. Check it out...

Aislyn and Brielle

I did this- So close!

The "Requarium"

This weekend we finally went to the aquarium to see the otters and penguins... Aislyn has been asking to go for so long, so we finally did. She calls it the "requarium".  Here are some pictures from our weekend.

Here's Ryan and Aislyn making their best fish faces!

 I love the Jelly Fish!

Check out that huge star fish!

 The sting ray petting pool- I don't think Aislyn got up the courage to touch them- but she made multiple attempts. They are so slimy!

If you look closely in the very back there are some otters hanging out.

This wasn't at the aquarium, but was too cute not to share.

Saturday night we tried to get the Aislyn and her cousin Brielle together to do something fun. We drove all over salt lake in the snow looking for something to do, we tried the aquarium, but the line was out the door in the snow, we even drove clear up to the University of Utah to go to the new Natural History Museum, but because of the snow it took us so long to get there that they had closed when we arrived. So since we had spent all afternoon driving around we just decided to go to Joe's Crabshack and let the kids play and grab some dinner. The person who decided to put an indoor playground in this place is genius! The girls had so much fun playing!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas was wonderful! Sorry I am not going to spend too much time on this post- because I've got wrapping paper to clean up! This year it was Christmas with the Ercanbracks, we try to alternate everyother year, but instead of going to Idaho where they live, they came here... Aislyn got to spend Christmas Eve and this morning with her cousins- there are 4 little girls and two baby boys! We were supposed to spend Christmas at the cabin, but unfortunately the water pipes were frozen- so there was no water. Lucky for us, Ryan's brother Seth lives close by and has a great house for large crowds- so we all had a sleep over there for Christmas!

Christmas at home this morning after our sleep over.

Trying to get 4 little girls to bed so Santa could come!

This morning pre-unwrapping...

Trying to get all of the girls to settle down and watch a movie last night!

Totally just bragging!

 Okay, totally just bragging....But, I am really proud of myself! I have re-enrolled in school at UVU in the Business Management Program and I worked like crazy, still worked with Provo City-where I got a promotion and worked 40+ hours, kept the family functioning & the house clean, AND GOT AN A IN B0TH COURSES! So yes, I am bragging, but I am proud of myself!

Way too long!

I am sorry it has been so long since the last post. I have been very busy with school and work and haven't had much time to do anything else. We've all been doing well, just keeping busy. Aislyn is ready for Christmas and already has a long list prepared for Santa- in fact she doesn't want to mail it yet because she might think of something else. :) On the list this year: Rollerblades, Barbies (of course!), a ballerina necklace, Liv Doll, Dress-ups, and the list goes on... Here are a few pictures from Halloween, Thanksgiving, and one from today.

Happy Halloween!

I absolutely love Halloween!

Aislyn rode the pony at the Pumpkin Patch...

We picked pumpkins off the vine...

Aislyn wanted to steal the dog from the pumpkin patch,
really though, he was a pretty nice dog!

We made and decorated caramel apples

This is seriously the best time of the year!

I know that it has been way too long since the last post, I promise a full update soon! I have been super busy with school & work & everything else going on! For now, here is Aislyn playing dress up in the Halloween stuff.
