February

 

February came and went so fast. We were able to spend a  couple of days in Logan. I love that going to Logan seems like a vacation for me.

I love this picture because after a long day of playing and sometimes fighting they still know how to show each other how much they love one another.

We went to free day at the zoo and it was a big mistake because it was super crowded, we had a hard time getting to see the animals. For me it was worth it because I LOVE ANIMALS! I got to see a baby elephant nursing it was a beautiful thing. I wish Devin would have recorded it but he said everyone crowded in front of him so he didn't get a good shot.  

My Laila loved this statue so was happy to get a picture next to it.

Laila and Devin

I have loved our double stroller!

It has been through a lot, and now that it can hold four little girls I don't know how much longer it will last.

This Tiger was so beautiful!

My beautiful Natalia

I Love Sundays! They love to get ready for church so this is usually a good day to take a picture!

These girls are my life!

 

Can you believe Sadie is 3 months old! How did that happen? I won't lie when I say that I am glad she is getting biggerl motherhood  is becoming a little easier and I love her smiles.

Blessing Day

 

The brothers, it will be fun to one day get a picture of all the brothers together. I love family and having everyone get together/

I love this picture for so many reasons.

She cried every time i held her, she was super tired.

She is just so beautiful!

I don't think i will ever get a perfect picture with all four cooperating together or a family picture.

January Activities

Surprise Birthday Day

Devin had my close friends over to celebrate with me, i loved having everyone there.  

My two beautiful girls

My brown eyed girl.

Devin went to Natalia's school for career day.

We went to a princess party, it was a blast. Two hours was not enough time but i had to nurse Sadie and poor Devin was ready to go.

The princesses sang and dances with the kids.

Laila dancing with Aurora

Devin is truly excited to be here. Before the thing started he made a funny comment about pricess parties being what we will look forward to for the rest of our lives. Glad he was able to come most of the time he is working on the weekends.

My Laila was so excited. I can only imagine what she would do at Disney Land.

Stonehendge and Buckingham Palace

During changing of the guards, the Queen had some guests fly in on a helicopter and then they took a carage ride around her property. This was a very awesome experience. I would have loved it even better if the Queen would have taken a ride with her guests. Just knowing that she was home made it really special.

We took a lot of pictures and just couldn't figure out which pictures expressed how amazing all this was. I might post more later on.

Trafalgar Square

This was a boat tour of London

On our road trip to Stonehenge, Devin got to eat some Thai food and claimed it was the exact thing he us to eat in Thailand almost everyday. The kids all loved the food and actually wanted more. We also saw a very beautiful Cathedral in Salisbury but have to go back and upload those pictures. (We got to see the real Magna Carta but pictures were not allowed) 

A beautiful castle, hate to mention it but this might have been one of my favorite spots. I love just wondering how life was for these people and knowing that they once lived here and fought to protect their home made it so intriguing. (I think this was the kids favorite place as well. They ran through this castle pretending and imagining every fairytale. Laila was concerned that she might not be able to get out of the dungeon if they put her in there so she made sure not to be thrown into the dungeon) It really had the most amazing views. Very happy Colby and Mindi were able to find little stops like these!

Finally we arrived at Stonehenge, it was such a cold day and super windy so the girls were wearing their pajamas and every other piece of clothing we brought. I think we all would have been able to enjoy it more if it was a little bit warmer.

I had a bad hair day every day I was in London.

Their they are, looking so still in the crazy wind!

Trip to London First Day

Everyone started out so happy, we thought it was going to be stressful but we had no idea all our plans were going to change in a matter of seconds of being in the airport. We weren't even sure we were going to be able to make it that Wednesday and we were going to be stranded in the airport until Thursday. The great part of this stressful experience was that they bumped us up to business class. That was truly a blessing. We all finally got to enjoy our trip there 6 hours later then we were originally supposed to leave.

Holly Cow, that is all I have to say about this picture! the girls were in heaven and everyone treated us good.

The first morning at Mindi's house, they woke up at 1 a.m ready to start the day! Time change can really mess things up a bit.

My cute Alaina!

Now their bodies are realizing they are tired. That is how the next two days went, awake at night and sleepy all day. Here we are riding on the double decker bus. Being pregnant made it hard to enjoy being on the top because I got motion sickness.  

 

Tower Bridge

 

Good old Big Ben!

Parliament, I loved this building it was just so amazing and beautiful.
