Utah Birthday Party: Dragons Love Tacos

By Ashley -
We decided that since we were going to be in Utah near(ish) to Michael's birthday that we should have a party for him- how often does Michael get to have a birthday party with aunts, uncles, cousins, and both sets of grandparents, AND grandpa suker? Not that often so we decided to have a party even though his birthday is a ways away. 

Michael loves "How to Train Your Dragon" (Brian took him to the second one tonight), he told us he wanted a "Toothless cake" so we decided to build on that theme. Michael also loves a book called "Dragons Love Tacos", if you haven't read it you should, it is sorta hilarious. In the book dragons love tacos, and the only thing they like better than tacos are taco parties- so we had a taco party! Thank you Uncle Jared for picking up the tacos!

Sadly I didn't get a photo of him with his grandparents, or grandpa suker, or em and colin... oh well. 

Taco bar, it was yummy. 

 The book that inspired the party. Really you should read it.
 The cake. It was an ice cream cake and we stuck how to train your dragon toys on it. Classy I know. Alayna (9) decorated it, i think she did great.
 see look at those cute dragons. Maybe it would be easier to see if I had used the right settings on the camera...
 the cake was lit (again if i used the right settings it would have shown up better)
 mikey wasn't sure he was going to get in there to blow out the candles.
 Grandpa Randy got in on the cake action.
 Grammy decided to walk over and see how the cake was going.

 I guess I didn't take a picture of him blowing out the candles...
 he was excited about the cake.

 mikey got a present. guess what it was... a toothless! We gave the cousins their presents.... late but hey i think it's the way to go, have a party and give everyone a present.


 see it was toothless.

Merry Christmas!

We are planning on having a very exciting Christmas at our house this year. We are super excited to announce (to all three people that read this that have already been told) that we are expecting another baby! Yay, the due date is December 22nd, so it is possible that we will actually have a very exciting Christmas, though in all honesty I am hoping for something more around the 16th than 25th.  We had an ultrasound today, and a few things. First off, I think this kid is going to give his/her older brother a run for his money. The ultrasound tech told us this was the most active baby she had ever seen, my response was pretty much, well you should have seen Michael 2 years ago. The baby is healthy, but... crazy. She had such a hard time taking measurements with all the flipping, flailing, and somersaulting. Pretty sure this kid is going to have to be so crazy to keep up with Mikey, but pretty sure that 2 years from now I am going to be exhausted. Even though it is a little b...

Baby Zach is here! Zachary Henry December 16, 2013 8:41am 6lbs 14oz 20.5 inches Sweet guy, he seems so tiny compared to Michael, and so so tiny compared to how big Michael is now. I think he looks a little bit like Michael, especially his mouth. He has less hair and his eyelashes are lighter, but he is still adorable. I know he has the newborn grey eyes for now, but they look lighter than the pictures of Michael at the same age. I am curious to see what he ends up looking like in a few weeks! The three boys. I can't believe we have two boys! We have to have one token labor picture. And as there is only one this is the one that gets posted. More on the labor later, but let's just say I wasn't loving life at this moment, waiting for the doctor to arrive was the longest half hour of my life, but we made it so yay!  So these are out of order, but this is Zach right after he was born. He was very quiet. He cried initially, but after a minute he calme...

7 pounds

By Ashley -
I don't usually discuss weight on my blog, but I need to have a little discussion about it today. Let me preface by saying I am NOT pregnant, now that I have cleared that up, I need to gain 7 pounds... I do, 7 pounds, that's the goal. Here's the thing, I am not entirely sure how to go about doing that. I don't lead a totally unhealthy lifestyle but unlike many people I don't particularly enjoy exercise. I am a busy person, well I dont know that busy is the right word but I spend a good portion of my time chasing, lifting, spinning, or carrying a 19 month old around. I am never going to go for a run or go to the gym, might help my heart but aint gonna happen (sad that I spent so much time learning about health) I do walk with Mikey in the stroller (weather permitting) for about a mile each day at a brisk (ish) pace, and I do try and eat relatively healthy, but I will be the first to admit that two crunchy tacos are not a problem for me. I don't shy away from swee...
