Brianna (Bria) Louise Bush

Bria was born on April 13th and weighed 8lb and was 20 inches long. She loves to be held, especially by her big brother and big sister. They are always asking to hold her, its really cute! You never really know what being "busy" is until you have 3 kids under the age of 6! I'll post some pics as soon as I figure out how to on this computer....and find a minute to do it!

Yep...........

Still pregnant!!!!!!!

I'm a convert.......

We've all seen the commercials and mocked them, seen them in stores and laughed. I myself have. I thought, "what kind of ridiculousness is this, are there really people dancing, camping, and attending ballgames while wearing these disasters?". Then Christmas morning my whole world changed. I received a SNUGGIE. I've never been warmer in my life. I have now danced in my Snuggie, and who knows, maybe I'll go camping or to a baseball game. I don't know, we'll see. I do realize that some of you may laugh, but, remember this, who is going to be laughing while your all out in the cold???? Me, in my SNUGGIE!

aaannnnddd.........

IT'S A GIRL! Our little girl will soon be joining our family. We are very excited and cannot wait to meet her!

update......

We have been very busy lately! In the beginning of November, both Travis and Allie celebrated their birthdays. Allie turned 2 and is officially a toddler now :). That same week Travis went to Chicago for the week and the kids and I stayed busy with school, playdates and the usual craziness. The following week Travis flew to NY for a couple days for work.
We had a pretty quiet Thanksgiving and ate a lot. It's nice being pregnant for an "eat as much as you want" holiday, so of course I did! Then came Black Friday......what were we thinking???? Yes, Travis and I were one of "those people" standing outside Target and many other stores for that great deal. It was crazy and at times I thought I was going to lose my life (I'm totally serious!), but, we did get AWESOME deals! When I'm dealing with the horrible cold I got from waiting outside for hours, I look at my beautiful leather boots I bought on sale $100 off the usual price!!!!

Tiny bit of news.......

Well..... Travis is pregnant, again! Oh yeah so am I! We're 13 weeks along and very excited! Bo thinks its going to be a boy,he has bunkbeds and so his room is "ready for a brother" and when you ask Allie anything about the baby, she lifts up her shirt and points to her belly button and says "baby". It's going to be a loooooooong 9 months!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOWEN!!

Bowen turns the BIG 5 tomorrow! He's such a good kid. He's very funny, smart, kind and friendly. He's still a hat guy and owns about a dozen. He loves to draw and make comic books. He plays soccer, t-ball and is currently in football. He starts preschool on Tuesday and loves going and making new friends. We had a "Superhero" birthday party last Saturday with his friends from church and it was a ton of fun! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

toooo cute!

Allie loves getting her nails painted, if mine are done and hers aren't, she gets really mad at me. She'll sit in front of me pointing to her toes saying "PINK PINK!", she's so cute!

Our Summer

We have had a very busy summer. Bowen played T-ball and received another GOLD MEDAL! He's pretty good at it too, he made his Dad proud! We took a "vacation" to see family in both Ohio and New York. It was long and hot, but fun too. When we came home we had some friends from Ohio come and stay with us and it was A TON of fun! We MISS you guys!! Here are a bunch of pics of some of the good stuff.

Our Family

SMILE!

I can not begin to explain how difficult it is to get these two to sit together for a picture! Ally runs off and wants to see the picture of herself although you havent even taken it yet, and Bo while would rather be climbing the tree rather than stand still next to it! Its hard but their cuteness makes up for it!

We're done now.....

Since I bought a new camera, I've been taking a ton of pics of Bo and Ally. They've been pretty good about it, but this is one instance where they;'d just had enough! Bo, being Bo, politely said, "Mom, I just want to play!" Where as I think the look on Ally's face said it all......that was the end of picture day at our house!

DO NOT take my picture.......HEY GIMME THAT CAMERA!

Ally is one crazy lady! She has an attitude and when she gets mad, shes MAD!

Our House

Days of our Lives..........

I have lost the last 6 months of my childrens lives. My camera broke and I have no way to document their childhood. My poor children only have cell phone pictures to look back on. While thinking about my camera situation, I often imagine this scinerio.....

Teacher: Bowen, can you bring in a picture of yourself of when you were 4?

Bowen: I'm sorry Ms. Fuzzington, I can not. You see my mothers camera broke and she waited so long to buy a new one that I have no record of ever even being 4 years old.

Teacher: That's the saddest thing I've ever heard. (tear)

It's time to get a new camera.............

BIG PURCHASE!

We went for a drive one day and ended up spending A LOT of money! We bought..... A HOUSE! It's perfect for us, I love the house and Travis loves the mini basketball court. Bo loves his red bedroom and I'm painting ally's room pink and I'm sure she will love it. We close next Wednesday and move in on Saturday. We are very excited, I'll post pics soon.

in between

Its been a very busy past 2 months. We ended up taking a job in Kansas City, Mo instead of California. Although we had always known it was the right choice, its been very tough for me. We're currently renting for the next couple months while we look for a house, but if we don't find anything we may just be renting for a little while longer. I only have half of our things unpacked and I'm having a hard time finding things let alone organizing them. I hate not being able to find things that I need. I'm hoping that we can find something, but its not looking good so far. I don't want to settle for just any house, and I'm becoming discouraged. Our lease is up in November, and I don't know whats going to happen. I hate that too. I'm also having a tough time because there is not a play group here, In Ohio that was one of the highlights of our week. Bo got to play with friends and I did too! We miss our friends! With not feeling at home, to not having a play group, and not being able to find my way around this crazy town, I'm having a tough time.............

no time...my hard drive crashed....it's summer

I can give a million reasons as to why I haven't posted lately, but the truth is, I'm lazy. My hard drive really did crash though and since I'm slow and I only know how to get to the internet on Trav's Mac, ( I don't know how to get to the pics), don't judge me...there won't be pics for a while. I'm sorry, but you're lucky I got around to doing this. I could be looking at pics of Robert Pattinson right now.......that reminds me, gotta go!

ps.....I hope to become educated on the proper usage of my husbands computer soon, and when I do I will post some pics, pray for me :)

Cute Pics

Happy Memorial Day!

This past weekend was spent at the park, grilling, outside playing and at the parade in Canal Fulton
