Surprise!

We were a little surprised to find out that we are expecting TWINS. I went in for my eight week check up and during the ultrasound they ended up finding not one but two little people. I had to talk Jason into trying for another baby and now he is very overwhelmed to find out that we are having two kiddos. Everything looks good on the babies and I'm doing okay for now. My Dr. warned me that I had to take it easy and need to find a house cleaner (yeah) and mother's helper. She wants me to rest as much as possible so I don't end up in the hospital or on bed rest for a long duration.  Hagen & Ainsley were excited that we were having two babies instead of one. And now that we found out that one is a boy (so Hagen gets his brother) and one is a girl they are even more thrilled. I'm sure that this will change once the babies are here and they will have to start doing more for themselves.

This was the first pictures we got!

San Diego

We weren't able to go to Island Park with the Esplin's this year because Hagen's school started so early so instead we went to San Diego. It was Labor Day weekend, so we knew that all of the amusement parks would be way too crowded so we stayed and played on the beach. We rented the same beach house we did last year. The kids were so excited to play in the water and build sandcastles. The first day we were there was spent on the beach. The second day, Hagen started asking to go to Sea World. We didn't want to go and fight the crowds so we went to this cute little aquarium in La Jolla that was great. It wasn't busy and perfect for little kids.They probably didn't enjoy it as much as Sea World, but there wasn't any crowds or lines. Overall it was a very relaxing weekend sitting on the beach enjoying the cool weather.

Ainsley's 1st Day of Preschool

Ainsley has been so excited to go back to preschool. I had to pull her out of La Casa last year when we moved, so it has been a long nine months of waiting until she could start again. Luckily, we have two other neighbor girls that are going with her and she loves it. On her meet the teacher night she wouldn't say anything and stayed by my side the whole time. She was scared on her first day of school, especially since I could just pull up and drop her off. It was sad and I did cry when I saw her holding her teacher's hand walking into school. She thinks that she is five and is starting kindergarten next year, but she still has awhile.

She was excited to wear her new clothes and backpack

Such a beauty

Kinley loves the camera
