California Vacation

We decided to use the week and a half out of the Summer that Clay had off from work and school and go on a much needed Vaca! Not just a weekend outing but a whole week vacation and so we headed out to see my Sweet Granny in California!! Clay's parents have a place in Mesquite so we went half way and played for a couple days there. We did some swimming and golfing and We took Katelin to the Tuachan and saw The Little Mermaid. It was fabulously done and was super fun! At Grandma's house she spoils us and we love being with her. She has the most fun home with the best backyard ever and she always has wonderful things to eat. One night we roasted marshmellows in her fire pit and told stories. My grandma is a great Story teller. I love listening to her sing goofy songs too! I am just so lucky to have such a wonderful Grandma! We took the kids to the beach one day and that was fun, Clay even said he saw a shark in the water. (just a small one, but still I was glad I saw Soul Surfer after I got home) We went to Disneyland and California Adventure! I am never disappointed! I love Disneyland even though it is expensive and crowded. I just love seeing my kids faces light up when they see their favorite Characters or go on a fun ride! I really do live my life through them... I don't know if Disneyland was ever this fun when I was a kid. Seeing their happiness makes me so happy!

OUR NEW ADDITION

Easter

Our Easter was fun! We spent the day jumping from one Easter Egg hunt to the next. We all made out like bandits! My family Easter Egg hunt was fun as always we had to have it inside at my dad's school because it was raining. I did surprisingly well for a fat pregnant lady 4 days from giving birth to the biggest baby ever! Here are some pictures of our Easter.

So much has happened!

Ok it has only been 6 months since my last post so her is the recap of what has happened in our last months.
Christmas was fun as always our children loved it. Santa came to visit a couple times which was good because the Santa at the mall was just not cutting it. I have never see such a terrible Santa. He didn't even stick the kids on his knee or anything. He was kind of angry so maybe he was just having a bad day. One of my favorite things was the gift my parents gave my kids for Christmas. Clay and I had talked the night before about our favorite Christmas presents and I had mentioned these Indian tepees we got when we were little and how fun that was... Well the next day I was surprised to find that Mom and dad had made the same thing for my kids.





New Years was fun... My Little Brother Daniel proposed to a darling girl and she said yes. Actually since I am so slow in my blogging they are making it official this friday!
We got a Expedition for our New addition! A little weird driving such a big vehicle since I have never had a SUV, but I like everything about except for the gas.
Since we got a SUV we had to get the camping Trailer to go with it. I have been wanting one of these for a while now and finally HERE it is... 1976 Prowler I couldn't be more happy with this old trailer. I am so excited to take my family camping!
Clay and Katelin had a Daddy Daughter date with our ward and they had a great time together. Katelin is getting so big and beautiful if I do say so myself!

I might DIE!!!

SO I wrote this when I was JUST ABOUT 4 weeks away from baby number three... I AM HUGE and I don't know if I can hang on anymore I might die!!! THIS BABY IS GOING TO BE A BIG ONE!!! I saw a lady at work the other day who was due the same day as me and she was just so cute and little and I wanted to cry! My boss tried to make me feel better by saying "your baby is just going to be a BUBBA" So maybe that is what we will name him... Bubba Bingham :) I can't breathe, I can't bend over and it doesn't help that he is up so high. Nothing fits me anymore. Today Katelin was trying to find something for me to wear and when I put on a shirt she said(with her eyes really big)..."WOW that makes you look huger!" My mom didn't help to my sorrow when telling her how big I feel she said "you know you gain the most weight in the last month." SO THANKS FOR THAT MOM!! Anyway I don't mean to be such a Drama Queen, yes I am so uncomfortable, but the end is in sight. And how nice it will be to have a cute baby boy! If you don't believe me... HERE are the Pictures for proof. I thought I was fat with Tytan, but lets just say there is no comparison!

KATELIN'S BIRTHDAY!

Katelin turned 5 can you believe how fast time flies!


It really seems like she should be 15 with her attitude and all, but I just can't believe how fast 5 years came. We had a great day! We had little birthday Party with all the neighbors and cousins and then we had Grandma's and Grandpa's and Aunts and Uncles over for dinner it was really fun! Katelin has grown to be such a fun little girl. She loves life and gets Excited about everything. I think she must be like my dad was when he was little because his teacher said to my grandma one time..."Please don't tell Dave about Holidays that our coming up because he gets so excited and then he gets all the class worked up about it." Anyway I don't know if that is the exact quote, but you get the idea. IF you tell Katelin about anything fun that is going to happen she doesn't forget and asks about it every couple minutes!!:) Katelin loves dance and Preschool and she loves playing with Tytan! She loves the story of "Epandimonas" I loved that story when I was little too, my Grandma used to always tell it to me. She has a very good imagination and she is compassionate, when Tytan cries she tries to get his binkie or his bottle to make him feel better (even though mom doesn't want him to have those things)We love Katelin and are so glad that she is part of our family.

(Katelin really wanted a mermaid cake so I made the barbie into a mermaid using fruit snacks and starbursts.)

Party Pictures






Also Our neighbor gave us tickets to see Disney on Ice. We had a great time the kids loved it!!!


Katelin's favorite Part was the little Mermaid, but I think it was mine too...

Halloween

We have a family friend who harvests pumpkins and he is so nice to always invite us to come and pick out our own pumpkins for Halloween. The kids always have such a fun time and nothing beats FREE...




For Family Night We created our master pieces!!!




We had a fun Halloween or Day before Halloween... we went trick or treating, and to the ward trunk or treat and It was my dad's birthday so we had a fun party with all my family! Katelin was a Scary witch and I think her missing tooth really added to her costume! Tytan along with my other 2 nephews his age was Spider Man! I couldn't get him to wear the mask, so later I painted one on his face! He did such a good job with telling everyone Trick or treat and I think He really didn't want to stop because a couple days ago Tytan saw me with some candy and came up to me and said... "Trick or Treat"
