What we did to make up for the pumpkin patch fail

By Ashley -
We heard there was a miniature railroad near our house so we decided to go and check it out. It turns out the miniature railroad is AWESOME. They have a tiny station where you buy tickets and a little park to play in while you wait. I thought the ride would be cheesy- like a mall train. Mikey really wanted to ride the ridiculous mall train the other day... and I refused... and he screamed. This one runs on a real track outside. It takes you around the county park, around the tiny pond, soccer fields, and through the woods- takes about 15 minutes, perfect for the price and the audience. 

Here we are walking up, I wish you could see his face, he was thrilled to ride Thomas. 


 Heading to the station, almost there!

Michael talked to the station master and purchased our tickets. 



He got the tickets. 


 Don't you love how the station master was dressed up to play the part.
 Checking out the train
 He was excited to see the engine






 He was so excited. But he was also a little bit nervous that Brian would miss the train because he was taking a picture.
 Here he is telling Brian he needs to GET ON THE TRAIN
 HURRY DAD!


 Taking the tour of the park




 Zach was somewhat entertained



After the train ride we decided to go to the local Methodist church pumpkin patch (also about 3 minutes from our house). We took some photos, saw the pumpkins, but didn't buy one.




It is really hard to get a picture of the boys where they are both looking... really hard.

 love this scary smile

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!

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...
