It's only been 4 years....

So I realize it has been FOUR years since I last did a blog post. Wow. I completely skipped blogging about my engagement, wedding and having a baby. I do want to do a post on Daxton's birth so that I can remember all the little details years from now when he asks me.
                 It is now FALL again and I love it! I love the leaves changing colors, I love being able to wear jeans again and not be sweating in them, and I love all the things there are to do here in fall. Oh and not to mention our anniversary too! :) We haven't really done a ton of fall things yet, but we have plans for them and i'm SO excited. Here has been our fall so far.

We have gone to see the witches at Gardner Village a few times. Daxton loves it there, I don't know if it is because all the people or the crazy halloween things everywhere but he loves it and he already loves halloween. He is SO funny with the electronic halloween decorations that move and sing. He thinks they are funny, even if they are suppose to be scary, he just smiles and laughs at them.

We also were able to get a hike in FINALLY! It only took us till fall to actually go. We hiked up to donut falls with Chris and Rachel. There was still snow in some places along the trail and where there wasn't snow there was mushy mud. It was sticking to everyone's shoes, but it was so much fun. Daxton loves being in his carrier and will just stare at everything while he is in there and be content. I have tried to put him in it facing me, but he screams every time he can't look forward to see what's going on. He is becoming such a little busy body, but he is so fun.

CUTE!

I'll add another post of Lex's actual b-day party, but I love this picture of Indigo all dressed up in the harry potter gear. Today she said the cutest thing to me. I was opening up the door to go into the mall and let her in, as she goes in she says "thank you Ashley. Your such a good helper" :) You can obviously tell she pays attention when you say things to her. It pretty much made my day. I love that little one!

"Single Ladies"

Daisy duck, dressed as a princess for the halloween party at disney world, was dancing to single ladies at the dance party, and I was sitting there laughing the whole time and then finally went to get my camera to record it, and she had turned around. I still got a little of her doing the dance, until she got distracted by the little buzz boy. :)

HELLOOO NEW YORK!

I can finally say that I've been to new york!! It was a blast! The first night we drove out to Rhodes Island, went to the cheesecake factory, and saw Toys Story in 3-D. I got my own hotel room and I even had my own robe! :)

View from my room the first night

Time Square!

Kinda blurry cuz I was taking it while walking while holding a two year old. :) but we went and saw SHREK! THE COOLEST thing I've seen in a while...no lie, I cried, out of pure happiness. My cheeks were hurting so bad by the end. I couldn't help but smile the whole time. I loved it!
Before we went to Shrek we stopped off and ate at planet hollywood and they had Bella's prom dress, and Edwards suit...the closest I will ever get to him. :)

So while walking around Rockefeller Center they were passing out free cranberry juice and had a make shift thing to make the juice ( I don't know the name) and there was the guy from all the commercials!!

It was kinda like an I-spy book, but we found cookie monster and minnie and mickey. We found them while looking out our hotel window, random, and awesome.
View from our hotel in New York, it was in time square, and there was a billboard for shrek!

Me and the kiddo's in the limo!!!! :) on our way to our hotel. Love them.
We just got back today, and I ran into their mailbox...yes, I really did. I feel horrible and want to cry, but luckily they like me, and luckily it just broke the plastic cover on the light... :( but other than that, it's been an awesome week so far. Now I have to pack and get ready for DISNEY WORLD!! WAHOO!!! Hope everyone is doing well. I love you all!!

Some may say...

You know how everyone always says you can never be prepared for motherhood. I believe that's crap. i'm getting PLENTY of practice. Just this week I have organized both the girls dressers, their clothes were all together, it looks awesome now. I had to do more laundry in one day than I have in the total of all last year. The whole pool table was covered in PILES with the clothes that I had to fold and put away. The pic only shows half of it. And just today I rearranged the art closet, that took forever as well!! :) All this is in between taking kids to school, home, feeding them, takin them to classes, etc. As for tomorrow, cleaning out the van is on the agenda. :) And yes, I still love being here, and love my job. How can you not when a little girl climbs on your lap while playing WII and falls sleep. :) love them all!!

Does life get any better?!

My room!!

Me on a camel
I have been in Massachusetts now for 4 day now and I am loving every minute of it! The kids are adorable, and I love them. The family is amazing as well. It is definitely a whole other life style that I am experiencing, but it's fun! :) Here are some of the things I have done so far

* live in a place that has no walmart OR target close ( you got kmart and the stop and shop)
* went apple picking
* rode a camel
* made my bed everyday! :)

And it hasn't even been a week yet!! I can't wait for this new week to start and continue my adventure here! I especially can't wait for all the trips I get to take!! The cape cod area is BEAUTIFUL! I can't think of a better place for me to be right now!

It's the simple things in life.

* figuring out that this guy i had class with all semester won survivor!! and didn't find out till the last day of class!!
* rainboots
