The Latest from The Holleman Household

So the latest for us is that earlier this week we got a new dishwasher and it was so nice of our friends to install it for us. Josh has been insanely busy, basically his schedule is fire station (no sleep), fire desinging job, come home do homework and help clean and play with kids, then work on his laptop for a few more hours, then fire station more no sleep, then the designing job, and on and on. So installing a dishwasher was not falling high on the list. So for a FHE project the Hagans in our ward installed it for us. I found the dishwasher on Craigslist of course. Its my secret little addiction, but I got a new whirlpool dishwasher for $150. So Im pleased. Not having to run my dishes through twice because the first time they were left greasy is a good feeling for me. And this one is prettier, not fancy, but prettier.



Anyway enough about that, other than that we havent been doing too much. Most of this pregnancy I have been forgetting Im even pregnant, and I always knew the day would eventually come that I would have him, but when I had some constant contractions Wed night I realized I should probably actually do something to be ready for him, so Ive been spending the last few days tying up loose ends, which including giving the boys another hair cut before I wasnt able to and their hair got way too long. Rylans hair didnt turn out so good. Josh wasnt catching the vision of what his hair should look like but wanted to have a go at it, so he took the clippers and went straight back over Rylans head. Which may not have been a problem for some kids, but Rylan has no hair there, hes kinda still depending on a bit of a comb over, so its pretty funny looking. But maybe no one will notice.




Anyways thats us in a nut shell. Heres some pics.





Our kids think anytime they are doing pretty much anything we should take a picture of them. So they insisted on having some more picture taken of them playing outside.






I think Ashlyn was born in the wrong era, she seems to be leaning toward another time. I swear I havent even shown her pictures of the olden days. She hasnt been watching girls just wanna have fun or listening to Cindy Lauper, but it looks like she missed her calling in life, but about 25 years. (Notice the socks)


Ok so at Lindsays shower we took some prego pics, and may I say this isnt really fair, since Im shorter and sooo much farther along, and this is my fourth, Lindsays third and Angies second, but hey why not let it all hang out right? If you want to feel skinny come stand by me!!



I love this picture. Rylan has been doing the funniest things lately. He just started enjoying singing if your happy and you know it. We were watching Americas got talent and he would climb up on the couch assume the tv watching position and clap whenever they did. Get down play with some toys and come back and do it all over again. Its so fun watching their personalities at this age. This is one of his favorite things to do. he finds things with lids takes them off and puts them back on aver and over again. When he gets it off or on he does his "Tada" pose.



OFF Back on TADA!!

Another much needed pose by these two. I think they were impressed because they both were ready before we had to go somewhere. That always deserves a picture. Dont ask me where Jayden got this new face from.
