Happy Birthday, Matt!

 Doesn't he look so excited- I told him to smile and he said he did!  I probably won't be too happy when I turn 35 either!  But I take what I can get with him- he doesn't like to get his picture taken.  Oh and he must not have been too happy about making his own cake.  When I asked him what kind of Coldstone cake he wanted, he said he wanted to make Myrt's chocolate cake instead, so it was his idea to make it himself!  He did a great job- it was his best one yet!

Happy Birthday, Matt!

Hope you had a great day!

Big Sister

Ashlyn is going to be a big sister just like her big sister!!!

We are having a baby and we are so happy and excited!

The baby is due July 20!

Ashlyn thinks it's a girl- we were in the baby section at Kohls and she wanted to buy some pink pj's for the baby, but I told her we couldn't buy anything until we knew if it was a boy or a girl.  She said, "It's a girl!"  So we'll see!  Rylee used to say that she wanted a baby brother, not another baby sister because sisters were naughty.  But now she seems to be ok with either a girl or a boy.  Ashlyn is going to be a wonderful big sister- Rylee already is!

Another Lost Tooth

 Rylee lost her third tooth this morning. It's been loose for a while. It was hurting her last night after eating some corn on the cob.  So she was ready to pull it today.  Well, actually, have Matt pull it for her!  She tried on her own but she couldn't quite get it.  She can't wait for the Tooth Fairy to come!!!

Ignore the hair and the swimming suit- it's Saturday and she hasn't been out of the house yet!  (She didn't want to go shopping with me and Ashlyn!)

Sunbeam

 I can't believe Ashlyn is a Sunbeam now!

Ashlyn got one too, but didn't want her picture taken with it.

Happy New Year!

 We went over to my mom and dad's for New Year's Eve.  Rylee got excited when I told her that on New Year's we get to stay up late, eat food, and play games.  So the game we played was a new one my mom bought called Disney Hedbanz (yes, that's how it's spelled!).  It was lots of fun- the best part was that we each got to wear our own Mickey ears headband!  Then we had to ask questions about who was on our head- we played it for a while!  Ashlyn didn't quite get it- she kept telling everybody what their picture was!  Rylee asked pretty good questions, but sometimes she would sneak away to the bathroom to look at her picture or go look in the mirror- the little cheater!  But it was fun!  Matt even played for a little bit- and he isn't much of a game player! 

Then we celebrated the new year at 10:00 with the ball dropping on TV in New York and went home.  The girls probably could have stayed up until midnight, but because we have 9:00 church they went to bed a little earlier than that- but not much!  Matt and I did make it to midnight, but just barely! 

Happy 2012!
