Ashlyn's genie dance

Heres some pictures from Ashlyn's dance class and genie recital. She did a great job, she knew the dance so well and got no stage frieght what so ever. I was so proud. She is the cutest little thing Ive ever seen. And she loved being in a dance class with her friends.

Finally the tile revealed

Ok so here are the long awaited tile pictures. Unfortunatley they are really not great pictures, but maybe if you enlarge them maybe you can tell.

Before pictures

Ugly old lanolium

Our bathroom after the floor was ripped up before the tile obviously.

The kids bathroom

During (the kitchen)

This is where all my appliances went for a few days. Yikes. (Its my front living room where the kids usually play)
Josh pretending to work. No really he is just pretending.

After!!

This is what I have been waiting on before I posted the pictures, but looks like itll be awhile before its really done, so here it is anyways. This is our tub backsplash. Still has a few touch ups needed but Im really excitied.

Our bathroom after

The kids bathroom. Most improved I think, before, even though you couldnt see it there was a hole by the tub from Josh having to fix something a ew years back which he never finished.
Our downstairs bathroom which used to be carpet. Weird huh? A carpet bathroom is not a good idea for potty training boys if you know what I mean. Glad thats gone!!!

Pre disney

I had an insanely busy two weeks right before Disney so here are some catch up pics, followed by some catch up blogs. Although the way they post, this will look like the last one. Crazy how they do that. Anyways, heres some great pics.









Ashlyn in her Genie costume before the rehearsal.

A few more pictures

Im sure these pictures will just keep trickling in a little at a time. This is from the ride Spaceship earth at Epcot. They updated the ride to include the ability to see what you are going to look like in the future. They let you pick a few things for example do you like liesure or work or home the best, and then builds a little world for you. It was way fun. Then you can email your picture home, heres the kicker for free. I didnt think anything at disney would ever be free, but here it is!!!

Disney World!!!

Our Trip To Disney World

So as many of you know we took a little journey over to the world of Disney. We were gone for almost two weeks, and Im sure most of you are wondering how a pregnant lady with three little kids faired on the trip. The drive was pretty good actually. We made it there in one day, and the kids were really good. The drive home was as to be expected a lot less fun. They were all tired and Rylan was especially sick of being cooped up since thats about all he got do at Disney. He was sooo happy when we walked in our front door and he got to just play wherever with whatever he wanted. Poor kid.



I think this is the cutes snuggle train I have ever seen.


Here we are at one of the 3-D shows. This one was philarmagic whcih is my personally favorite. Jayden was alughing so hard during the whole show trying to catch all the things that came out of the screen.



Rylans opinion on the whole trip.
All the girl cousins in one of the rooms at the house we stayed in. We forgot to take a picture of the boys, ooops.
On the ferry boat going over to the magic kingdom for the first time.
Josh wanted to make sure and document Ty during the trip.

This is a picture of most of us, but we are still missing Beckys whole fam and CLint and my Grandma. There were 29 of us in total!




Sorry this picture is out of order.
Heres all the characters we met. I always thought it would be weird to play one of the princesses because your picture would be all over the place, framed in strangers homes, and now all over the internet.





There were a couple places we found to let Rylan have some fun and play. It was a little short lived though. Because then we had to hurry on to the next spot to make sure we fit everything in.



I am so glad Rylan is one of those kids that will just fall asleep in a stroller. What a relief.



Heres a squirrell we met at epcot. He sniffed Rylans feet and let Josh and Ashlyn feed him.

After spending all that money, and time, walking around killing my feet and this is the best look I can get from them...next time theyre paying.

All in all it was a really fast trip, and was a lot of fun. I felt like my feet had permant bruising, but luckily for the most part thats as bad as it got. Being this big it could have been a lot worse. The weather was actually pretty good, the lines were pretty small, and we always found a way to work the system, I think our longest wait was around 20 min. Ashlyn was even big enough to go on some big kid rides, and I was very surprised to find that her favorite ride was tower of terror. Jayden liked some of the rides as well like the kids rollercoasters and of course shooting the aliens on buzz lightyear. Rylan and I even got to ride a few things, he liked buzz lightyear, and peter pan too. Anyways, this is the first round of pics, and if I find more in all the pics my family took, Ill post some more later.
