Visiting the Temple

Our new church time is 1pm.  I feel like we sit around all day just waiting to leave for church so last Sunday we got ready early and headed to the temple.  The kids, especially KK, have been asking about it a lot lately so I thought it would be nice to take her up there and let her walk around the temple grounds.

We didn't stay long since it was windy and Corbin wasn't coorperating but it was still worth it.

I am so blessed to have the gospel in my life.  It truly helps me be a better person. I am also grateful for the family I have been blessed with.  I love my little angels!!!!

29th Birthday

Trev's birthday got overshadowed this year by my birthday.  He told me that this year his birthday is an eclipse and next year mine will be since it will be his 30th birthday. 

He did get some presents that he wasn't expecting but he did convince me to let him open them the night before.  He is so impatient and hates surprises.

How did I get so lucky to be married to such a sexy man?

30th Birthday

Where has the time gone?  How did I get to be so old?  It is still surreal to me that I am 30.  I never thought I would hit this milestone. 

 It was an awesome and relaxing birthday.  It started out with Trev and the kids waking me up to this....

And this....(lemon birthday cake...my favorite)

And this...monkey bread(my favorite dessert for breakfast) of course Trev had to make it black since I am so much closer to death now.

And this....my favorite breakfast when I am pregnant.

Trev made me a special shirt so everyone would know just how old I am.

I was lucky enough to have a birthday weekend not just one day but two.  We dropped the kids off to my favorite mother in law and she kept them for two days.  Trev still had school and studying but I kept myself busy by reading a book. clothes shopping, going to lunch and movie with one of my Besties...and of course when Trev was free hanging out with my man.  We were able to go to dinner Friday night at the Cheesecake and then go shopping to spend some of my gift cards.

I am so lucky to be married to a man who knows just want I need...and I definitely needed this weekend.  I love him so much!!!!!

Here is a picture of what I looked like on my 30th birthday...23 weeks pregnant with twin boys. 

Corbin Growing Up

I hate that day when I realize my baby is no longer a baby.  It has happened.  My loving toddler has turned into an independent, tantrum throwing two year old monster.  He is still cute and keeps me laughing but it is mixed with him yelling and screaming. 

The other day Trev walked upstairs to find that Corbin had turned on the TV for himself and was maxing and relaxing to his favorite TV show.

I have just a bunch of random pictures I want to remember of him at this age. 

Excited to go swimming

He loves his glasses

Chilling....watching TV while eating lunch.

He was ready to get out of the shopping cart.

His new favorite thing is to get into my make up and put it everywhere.  He especially loves my mascara.  I have already had to replace it 4 times because of him.

I forgot to post his 2 year old pictures so here it is even if it's three months late.

I love watching him grow and learn.  Everyday his vocabulary grows and he loves that he can actually articulate what he wants to say.  WE LOVE HIM....tantrums and all!

Aidan's 4 1/2 year old pictures

I can not believe the handsome little man he has turned out to be.  Where has 4 1/2 years gone? 

He was so excited to have his 4 1/2 year old pictures taken and did whatever the photographer asked him to do.

I love this mischievous little smile. It totally sums him up in a picture.

The morning of his pictures I realized the boys had matching shirts so I thought I might try and get at least get one good picture of them together ( if Corbin would cooperate).  At first, no such luck, but after he saw Aidan take all his pictures he thought it might not be so bad so he stood there long enough for us to get two good picutres of them together.

I love my two little men!

Springs Preserve

We love going to the Springs Preserve.  It is a nice place that the whole family can go to and enjoy.  They had a special program about birds that we went to.  It was really cool to see all the different types of birds that live here.

At the beginning, they had the kids dress up as butterflies and go on a nature hike.  Aidan wanted nothing to do with it but KK loved it.

Here are just some of the birds that were in the show.

After the show, we went to the exhibit that was all about POO.  It was very interesting.

Afterwards, we went to the museum across from the Springs Preserve. It was nice but not enough for us to go back anytime soon.

It was a nice relaxing Saturday spent as a family.  I love these kind of days!!!

Disney on Ice

Our kids loved Disney on Ice last year, so we decided to get get them tickets this year as part of their Christmas present. It wasn't until the second week of January but it was worth the wait.  This year it had a Toy Story theme. 

Waiting for the show to begin

Aidan spent a lot of the time doing this.  He hates anything loud.

KK was glued the whole time...especially when barbie was skating.

Covering his ears again

Corbin sat on daddy's lap like this for almost the whole show.

The kids favorite part

I think this might be the start of a family tradition.
