Girls night out

Last night I got together with some of my best friends from highschool. Maren had us and the kids over for some great guacamole and pizza. The girls got to play with all the kids and then I dropped them home with Zach.

I met back up with the girls and we had a blast!! It is so nice seeing everyone and just catching up! Not to mention anytime that I have to myself is much needed and appreciated!!

My Nephew

Jacob David Mangold was born this past wednesday. He weighed 8lbs 7oz and was 19 inches long. He is very adorable and has a head full of dark hair. I am soo happy for Lezlie, Dustin and Leila, they are going to love their new addition.

While Lezlie and Dustin were busy having a baby Leila got to come and spend some much need cousin time at our house. Leila is so sweet and the Maile, Lexi and Becca all crowd around her when she first comes over. By the end of the day poor Leila had been tackled and pushed by her rowdy cousins but she was still smiling!

Fun and Friends at the Fair!!

The Clark County fair was a few weeks ago and it was a pretty exciting weekend for us. We went on Sat. first with Zach's cousin Ryan and his wife BJ. We always have so much fun when we do things with them. The highlights of Sat would include BJ cutting off the guy who cut her off, tag teaming the crazy line just to get off the highway, corn on the cob, seeing John Allen who we didn't know was a mutual friend, seeing all the "stinky" animals and funnell cake with just a few foot prints in it. What stinks it I forgot my camera on Sat so you will just have to imagne the fun we had.

Sunday we went back to the fair with some of our good friends and all our kids. Zachary and Taylor got to go off on their own while we took all the toddlers on rides. Maile really likes riding rides and Lexi went on a few but little Becca who is usually my adventerous one wasn't too happy about being left on rides. Next we headed over to a large area of grass and had lunch and let the kids run around. This was probably the best part of the day, we were in the shade, the kids were happy and we were able to relax and chat. So after we had some lunch and lounged in the grass for a while a few of us "big kids" went on some fun rides thank you to all the scardey cats, you know who you are who kept an eye on all the sleeping babies. So I need to point out that the Zipper is just as scray at 25 as it was at 15 however, Tara and I had fun for at least some of the ride. After we were done riding rides we met up with some more friends and watched the Monkey show which was pretty cool. By the end of the show all the kids were pretty tired and well me too, so we headed home. Overall it was a great weekend that we got to share with so many fun people!!

I need to watch what I say!

So last night while I was giving the girls a bath Zach was teasing me in a fun way and I was telling him to leave me alone also in a teasing manner. Maile must have thought we were "fighting" becasue she said

"Daddy's Stupid"

Zach and I looked at each other in disbelief! But I pretty much know where that came from. The day before we were driving in the car and I was on the phone with Zach who made me mad and when I put down the phone I said under my breath but obviously a little too loud "your so stupid!" Not my best moment, I know. Sometimes spouses get frustrated with each other mostly due to lack of communication. I should however, especally now that Maile repeats everything, rethink what I say in moments of anger. I am going to take this as a life lesson and try not to get mad at some of the small things, it will be better for our whole family!

Grey's Is Back!!!

For the past few months something has really been missing from my life and on Thursday April 24th I will be complete again! I am sooooo excited for the return of Grey's Anatomy I can't stand waiting one more week! But Mc Dreamy is worth it! Could he be any hotter in this picture?

I love my husband because.....

...he makes me feel special on an ordinary day! I am so lucky to have him in my life!

My Little Piggy

Rebecca can easily be summed up as my runt. She was not the smallest of my babies at birth but over time she has been the hardest to feed and never got chubby like Alexis and Maile. We visited the doctor twice last week the first time she weighed in at 19lbs 11oz. The second time after a week of throwing up and not eating she weighed in at 18lbs 3oz. She lost about a pound and a half and I think she knows it. This week she has been eating like crazy! Every hour and a half she tells me "I eat!" and she does. I cannot believe how much she can fit in her tummy. After dinner is bath time and it is so funny, she looks like a frog. Huge belly and tiny legs sticking out. If she keeps this eating up she is going to finally get some chubbs!!
