Cute videos

I finally got Lily on video doing her bababababa. Everytime I turn the camera on she would stop doing it and start laughing.

Our cakes!

Ashley and I went to our cake decorating class last night. We were required to bring a cake iced in light blue and all the colored icing and supplies we needed. We decorated our cake in class. Not bad for our first cake.

Our weekend in pictures

We started out by driving around the neighborhood to take some pictures.

Saturday we went to the regatta

Sunday we decided to make some burgers. Here are the babies in the shopping cart.

It was so nice that we fed the babies on the deck.

An update

Thursday was our 4 year wedding anniversary. Aaron and I put the babies to bed Friday night and went to dinner at Magnum & Stein's, downtown. It was so good and very nice to get out and be adults. Ashley did very well and had no problems at all. We will have to do this more often now that I know the babies will stay asleep and Ashley doesn't mind staying for a few hours. Of course we paid her though.
Today we started out eating breakfast at a local church before heading to the St Philip's Regatta. For those that don't know, it's a boat race. They had music, games and the races. We just got home so it has been a long day. We really enjoyed being outside though.
I need to take some recent pictures, the babies aren't doing anything new lately.
Love you all and miss you lots!

I have uploaded some new pictures but there are 45 so here is the link: http://picasaweb.google.com/stactheacetx/NiceWeather

I am so glad the weather is nice. It gives me something to look forward to once we are waist deep in snow. I have also had some time to scrap book. I added a scrapbook link to the left. I have all my stuff set up. It is so easy just to go down and start scrappin and not worry about cleaning up. I can just continue where I left off when I get interrupted. There isn't too much going on around here. Just passing the time during the day trying to keep 3 kids occupied.
Ashley and i went to our cake decorating class on Tues. It was so much fun. When we got there we realized it's 4 classes for the whole month of July. We learned how to load the bag with icing, put icing on the cake (properly) the different texture of the icing and which tips to use for flowers, leaves, dots etc. Our next class we will be bringing an iced cake and decorate it in class. This is some serious cake decorating. We are in course 1 but plan to take course 2 and 3 also.
Aaron is good. Just working. I love that he has an 8 to 5 job. He doesn't travel at all, he is home every night for dinner and helps put the babies to bed.

A really hard time

Every day I hug my kids and make sure they know they are loved. Lately, especially the past few days I have been doing it more often. I don't know why I am having such a hard time with the kids getting older. For example: Ashley asked if she could go in my closet and borrow one of my shirts. Sure no problem until I reminisce back to when I used to borrow my moms clothes and it was only a matter of time until I was all grown up. Ashley is growing into such a smart, beautiful young lady right before my eyes and it scares me so much. I don't know where the time went. The babies are no different. Yesterday I took all the clothes they have outgrown out of their closet. Once I took out the old they were left with about 5 outfits. I went down to the basement and pulled out the 9 month clothes to fill the empty space in their closet. Lily is wearing 6-9 months still but Preston is totally in 9 months. He can still wear some 6 month
t-shirts but that won't last too much longer.
It doesn't help my emotions that Preston is now completely sitting up on his own, Lily is scooting all over and Ashley is wearing my clothes. I guess these are just blips on the milestone radar. There are still so many more to come.

Another awesome day

My goal is to get a good picture of all of my kids. Here is the best one so far. This was yesterday on the forth of July.

Our babies are getting so big. I literally cried while putting these pictures in here. I love them so much.

Today we went to the beach to get our feet wet. The rocks are a little hard to handle.

We had an awesome day. We went to the local beach and then to eat some fish and chips. The fish and chips place was packed, line out the door. We decided to pull out the blanket. Aaron waited in line and ordered while Ashley, me and the babies relaxed on the blanket. It took about an hour for our food but we skipped rocks and played on the beach until then. We had an awesome day. I love hanging out with Aaron, Ashley and the babies and being outdoors, especially when the weather is nice.

Happy America Day

Happy 4th of July. I sure wish I was at home eating some of may daddy's great brisket sittin back drinkin a beer!!! Ahhhhhhh

Ok I can dream right. Well the weather here is awesome it's 74 and sunny. We went to run some errands while Ash was at the rock climbing place. On our way we saw a sign that said Mark Day Canadian Idol, come celebrate. Well this guy that's on Canadian Idol is from our small town of Portugal Cove. We drove by the park but there weren't many people there. They staff guy said he will be there between 3:30 and 5:30 so we decided to head home since we were starving. On our way home we were practically run off the road by a limo, firetrucks, police officers, tv crews and a whole slew of people honking their horns. Mark Day had arrived. We still went home but it was pretty cool. We will watch it on the news tonight. I guess it's like American Idol when they go to the people's home towns and there are cameras and bands and people everywhere.
We will watch it on the news tonight.

flower bed and beach pictures

It was 79 degrees yesterday so we put on some shorts and hit the beach. Ashley actually got in the water and said it was freezing. The babies had a blast and slept great they woke up at 8 this morning. Oh and this is a lake not the ocean.

New video

The babies are supposed to be drinking their bottles and going to bed but they have other plans.

Canada Day

Silly Lily

We went to downtown St John's for the Canada Day celebrations. Of course we didn't see any fireworks because they didn't start until 10 pm. It was fun. We got to listen to some traditional Newfoundland music.

Pictures from when we stayed with Michelle

I forgot about these pictures. We took lots of them while we stayed with Michelle and Chris.
