Annual Disneyland Trip

Okay, so we have been using Jason's phone to talk all of our pictures lately and it has taken too long, to get them on the computer.  Anyhow, we took this trip to Disneyland almost two months ago now.  It was one of our more dramatic trips to the Happiest Place on Earth, however, we wouldn't know it by looking at these pictures!  It was Maryn's first trip, and she got the royal treatment from the Mad Hatter and Alice. :)  

 Casey Jr. Train!

 It's A Small World After All!

Logan and Lightning...best buds! :)

 Our favorite ride of the day...The Little Mermaid ride.  It's fun to try new things!

We discovered that day that Kamryn had a bladder infection and Jason was coming down with something that knocked him down a bit that day. He ended up taking a nap on a bench while I took the kids on the storybook boats.  He felt better after that and we were able to stay the rest of the day.  We ended the day by watching the new parade which was awesome.  Oh, and we saw J. Lo too.  Jason got a picture of her, but you can barely tell since its a profile shot so I didn't bother posting.  I almost followed her into the restroom, but Jason convinced me that was creepy. Haha!  Anyway, can't wait for next years trip.

Paying Tribute to George Washington and the three cornered hat. :) Kamryn made it at school. Looks good on them.

Saying Goodbye

So, our family had to say goodbye last month to our close friends, the Bartletts. Clint, the Dad, got a job offer in Nebraska, which is where he is from, so they took the offer and were gone within weeks. We have been friends with the Bartletts for the last 5 years and we miss them tons! The picture above, which blogger is not letting me move around, has Blake and Colin Silagyi, my kids, and Jack Bartlett. As you can see, Logan looks up to him. :)

Logan and Eli; best buds!

Mary and Amy will most likely kill me for posting this picture since we were all crying messes, but sorry ladies. This is the only one I have of the three of us so deal. :) Love ya Bartletts! Come back and visit soon.

Maryn's blessing day!

Seriously, could she be any cuter? I'm a lucky Mommy!

Daddy with this baby girl.
I feel so blessed to have such a beautiful little family. :)

The day was perfect! Thanks to all who came. Whitney, thanks so much for taking such beautiful pictures! You are amazing!

Random pics of the kids and a tooth missing!

"Sisters, Sisters, never were there such devoted sisters."

Look, she's wearing a bow! I'm making progress!

First missing tooth. Wow, this picture is really close up. :)

Merry Christmas....a little late. :)

Happy Thanksgiving....a little late.

Home from the Hospital!

Nothing like being home with the ones you love! :)

Finally! Maryn Elise Riley makes her entrance!

Okay, so for those who may still read my blog, here are those pictures of Maryn you have all been patiently waiting for.

Maryn Elise Riley was born on 11/9/11 at 3:42pm. We were hoping for an 11/11/11 baby, but she just couldn't wait I guess. :) She came much quicker than I expected. I started going into labor the night before, but wasn't convinced I was having the baby since my contractions were not consistent. However, I should have been tipped off by the fact that they were hurting terribly! By the time we got to the hospital I was dilated to 9cm which meant no time for drugs. So, she came amidst my yelling to "get her out." It was definitely painful going natural, but afterwards the award was worth it. She is beautiful.

Maryn Elise Riley, 7lbs. 4oz. (my smallest baby). She arrived 8 days early. :)

Terrible Halloween pictures

For some reason, I took all pictures related to Halloween on my phone and they did not come out that great. Still trying to get used to it.
This year, Kamryn was Ariel (which I loved since she has the red hair for it) and Logan was Superman. His costume was a little white trash, but the curl on his head is awesome. :)
The night before Halloween, Aaron and Whitney came over for some chili and cornbread. We also decorated sugar cookies and Jason carved an awesome vampire pumpkin. Can't believe another Halloween has come and gone.

Annual trek to Riley's Farm

I know you are all expecting to see pictures of Maryn, but I have to get caught up here so bear with me. Maryn's dramatic arrival will be posted about soon.

Back in October, we took our annual trek up to Riley's Farm to pick our pumpkins. Our friends, Karissa and Ron and their boys, joined us as they do pretty much every year. We love having them come with us and we always have a great time.
