24..........Really?!!

For my birthday this year (New Years Eve) some of my bestest friends ever through me a party. We had sooooo much fun and rang in the new year with a bang. Thank you to Alecia and Tina for taking the time to make my 24th birthday the best ever!! I appreciate it more than you girls know and thank you as well to all my great friends and family that came, I love all of you!!

Oh and Thank you Dylan as well, my party wouldn't have been the same without all of your "Entertainment"!!



Goofing off "what we do best"

They even took the time to make me cake! Cute Huh..

HAPPY

NEW

YEAR!!!!

Christmas

Aniston AKA "Monkey" her first Christmas morning.

On Christmas Eve we always go to my Grandma Ivie's and since Aniston was still only 2 weeks old and Matt had to work, Ty and I took the girls with us. These are just pic's in the car on the way. Angela always dolls them up so cute for Holidays!

Me and Ty at my Mom's on Christmas Day. My parents as usual spoiled us. We got a new camera, $100 for our trip, a new sweater each, towels and 3 Blue Ray DVD's.

In the morning we went to my Brothers to watch the girls open their presents. They were so adorable and excited in the morning. They said some of the cutest things I have to share. About every other present Aspen would scream "I Love you Sant-ee Clause!" and at the end Alexis said " You know what... Santa is a pretty cool Guy!" They really make me miss being a kid, Christmas was so magical at their age.

Both of the girls got new bikes, which is awesome because me and Tyson got bikes from his parents this year as well. So I am sure we have many bikes rides in the future with our favorite little girls!

Tis the Season...To be busy...

Our busy week began on the 9th when Aniston was born, and then the 10th was my Mom's birthday which we all spent in and out of the hospital seeing Angela and the baby. Then the 11th we had my Work Christmas party. They had it at a fancy County Club on the East side. They served a very nice dinner and gave out hysterical gag gifts to each employee...But by far the best part of the evening was a hypnotist. My good friend and co-worker Sierra was one of the 7 to be hypnotized. I have known her for almost 12 years so I have seen the crazy side of her personality but a lot of people haven't. She was a body builder, surfer, the leader of the Village People and in a marching band. At the end of the night my cheeks and stomach hurt so bad from laughing at her and another kid named Ryan. He did a perfect reinactment of the Napoleon Dynamite dance that had everyone almost rolling on the floor. Our Christmas parties are usually quite fun but this one will be very hard to ever beat!

Then Friday the 12th we had a small get together at our house for my very good friend Tina's birthday. It was fun hanging out and seeing her kids, which always crack me up.

Saturday night we had a Christmas party with another group of our good friends at Jaron and Andreas house. They cooked a delicious meal and we also got to see all of their kids and how big they are all getting. We were the only couple out of 7 that did not have at least one kid, and we are not even the youngest!

Later in the evening we had to bare the snow and head to Alexis and Aspen's dance performance. They both did so good and were adorable!! After all 3 of their dances we headed back to the party and enjoyed the rest of the night catching up with our friends.

Sunday we all gathered at Tysons parents house to trade presents. I got "The Host" from Tyler and Aubree which I can not wait to read. We had to gather a little early this year because it is Tai and Coby's year to spend Christmas with her family. After that we had the Stalder (Ty's Mom's side) family party as well.

The last night of the fun was Monday the 15th, Alexis's 8th birthday we just visited at my brothers house and had cake and ice cream. I love the picture above because it is a perfect Alexis and Aspen moment.

Angela has been lucky that Aniston can sleep right through the craziness of her big sisters! Now we have nothing... and we do not til Christmas Eve..but I will enjoy the few days of feeling like I get something done. Hope everyone is enjoying the Holidays like we are and we wish everyone a Merry Christmas!!

Just some more pic's of the girls from the long day...(Read post below first)

ANISTON IS HERE!!!!!

Aniston Blymiller savely arrived today at 8:26 in the morning. She weighed almost 2 lbs more than Aspen at 7 lbs. 10 oz. and 19 inches long. We were all caught quite off guard by her looks, she looks identical to my brother (Matt) nothing like Aspen did. She is dark skinned, has the most hair I have ever seen on a newborn and it is jet black. I really hope it stays so dark because it is a gorgeous color.
We are all so happy for my brothers growing family and I am so excited to have another addition to my nieces. I also wish them luck in the weeks to come, because Aspen is going to take some time to get used to the new addition. She wants to as she says "Pet" the baby every second and thinks the world is ending everytime she crys. She is so happy to be a big sister but a little to enthusiastic about it for all of us to handle. Alexis is a little more non-chalant about the change but still excited to have a new baby sister to help take care of. Aniston's doctor said she came out with a face full of makeup already, she has some dark birth marks but they are already quickly fading.(It really does look like she has full layer of pink eyeshadow on.)

Aniston and Uncle Ty Ty, so cute you just want to kiss her face!

While Angela is in the hospital with the baby I have volunteered to take Alexis for a few days to help out and my Mom has Aspen. I also volunteered to take both girls to dance which I just got back from And....all I have to say is Angela is a VERY brave and patient person to go through that every week. To many whiny parents and screaming kids for me! Sometimes I really wonder if I am built for the whole motherhood thing. I love having Alexis and helping her with homework, taking her to school etc. but propts to all parents because it is kind of exhausting. (not that I have to point that out to any parent ..Right?) So overall a very busy but exciting day!! I love my nieces more than anything and now I just have three to brag about non-stop instead of just two........

Again..For anyone that missed my Venting

"While we are free to choose our actions, we are not free to choose the consequences of our actions."
For me and many others I am sure this is one of the earliest lessons I remember learning as a child, but as I get older I start to understand it more and more everyday. I also realize more that some grown adults do not understand it at all! Each day I am presented with dealing with situations that do not have anything to do with my own choices as everyone does but now I have chosen to act in 1 of 3 ways to this. Accept, and let it be, Forget and move on, or completely IGNORE it, if I do not feel it will better my life....... Also... I feel the past is the past and my decisions now will ONLY change the outcome of my future never ask WHAT IF?!
Sometimes people think making things that happened years ago better will somehow make the future better. I think everything happens for a reason but if we are not willing to learn from everything than what is the point to anything?!! Consequences that result do to our choices, good or bad, are usually not always the easiest but they are what we have to deal with for making some of our most IMPORTANT and DIFFICULT choices. I think some people need to realize that others should not suffer along with them for THEIR choices resulting in THEIR bad consequences BUT...THEIR choices do Affect OTHERS!! So my lesson learned through resent life situations and advice to all presented with hard decisions.......
"Before every action ask yourself. Will this bring more monkeys on my back. Will the result of my action be a blessing or a heavy burden?

Just wanted to say....

HAPPY 24th BIRTHDAY JENNA....

I also wanted to update everyone that Tanya is doing a lot better, she still needs some physical therapy to get her hand 100% but she is recovering very well!

Last but not least.....The last few weeks I have been thinking a lot about how LUCKY I really am. I have so many great friends including my best friend and sister Tanya. Everyone of my closest friends I have known for years. That proves that we have real and forever friendships.

I met Alecia and Tina when I was Five, Camille in third grade and Jenna, Sierra and Tai in seventh grade! It is the best feeling knowing that I always have great girls around for support and to have a blast with!! Our husbands all get along great as well which is just iceing on the cake. Thanks Ladies for being the best friends anyone could ever ask for!!

I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!
