Cute Layla, Hershey

 Layla had her 3 month old photo shoot. She is so cute!













 Our library is super fun for the kids. They have a train table, a play train, lots of puppets and other little kid toy fun. They love to go!
 Andrew loves taking pictures of Evie haha. She gets tired of it.

 Hose on the trampoline! Andrew loved it









 Layla is so nice just hanging out in the stroller or backpack at Hershey Park. Such a sweet easy going girl.
 Every trash day I discover new things on the curb. The kids got a toy mailbox, and a wagon full of balls this time. I got a brand new headboard for the guest bed a chair and a table. Pretty nice!



The kids love the spinny fast rides. They scream and laugh. Only Brandon can do those with them though; no way I could handle that!
 All the girls on the Ferris Wheel. Not many rides I can take Layla on but they let us do that one.
 We have a nice big landing up the stairs. Perfect for train track play. Layla is happy just sitting and watching.

 Took the kids to chocolate world while Daddy had his orientation day. We went over and over on the ride and got lots of free chocolate.
 An entire guy made of licorice!



 Evie was so brave taking a picture with the chocolate guy haha. She is such a chicken she wouldn't normally go anywhere near a character.

 We had a good fun week. Brandon had 2 days of orientation and he starts tomorrow with the real deal so real life has begun again. Lots of new families have just moved in the ward so it will be fun to get to know some new mom and make friends for Andrew. It has been super hot and humid. I thought Pennsylvania would be less humid than Florida but not so! Also got freaked out the other day when I found a tick on Evie's ear! It was so gross. I had to get it off with tweezers it was so stuck under the fold of her ear. Yuck! Guess we have to be super careful to check for ticks every night!

Hershey Park!

Hershey Park is full of little kid rides! The kids had so much fun.

The balloon ride was their favorite to go on together! It is so cute. Andrew just takes Evie by the hand and they go racing to get on the ride. They get to just go together so it's awesome we can just sit and watch!
















Evie's other favorite ride was the pony ride. She went on that a ton of times. There are never lines for the little rides so it's awesome they can just go and go.



     The kids got so spoiled going to Hershey park. We bought season passes so we can go over and over. We live 5 minutes away and the passes let you park right at the front door of the park so it's great! I can just go and let the kids get on the rides while I sit with Layla. Layla loves just hanging out and watching the rides. They have a whole water park that Andrew just loved too. Evie hates anything to do with the water slides so that stinks but at least Andrew loves it.
     We love our new house. It is finally coming together. We have zero money to decorate so the walls are pretty bare but its so nice to have so much room for the kids to run around in. The neighborhood is so friendly. Our neighbor has brought us cookies multiple times and we have gone over to her house a few times. She is an older lady who lives alone and loves hearing the kids being crazy. Nice she likes loud kids because ours are out on the trampoline by 7:30 screaming and jumping haha. The ward is really nice too. There are tons of young couples and everybody has three or more kids; so many kids in the ward! I gave a talk today to introduce our family and things. I am the worst speaker ever haha so my talk only lasted about 7 minutes. I just talk so fast I can't help it. Brandon wouldn't speak so I was left on my own and he is so much better at it than I am! Oh well at least I won't have to speak for a while now. Brandon starts orientation things on Wednesday this week at the hospital so that will be new and exciting. A couple guys in the ward are residents there so he already has some friends there which is nice :)
     I thought it would be less humid here than Florida but it has been super muggy and hot. It went from freezing to hot! But it is really green and beautiful. There are so many hills everywhere. I don't know how anybody drives in the winter the hills are so steep here; there are hardly any flat roads it's crazy! There is a super close gym here that I get to go to. They have childcare included in the monthly fee so it's awesome. I've been going every day. The kids have liked being here in a new place. Layla is getting so chunky and big. She is so crazy too. I don't know what we do to get such wild kids haha. She is no exception. Just flipping over on her tummy every second and scooting and screaming so I flip her over and then she just does it again. She is so smiley and cute though; very happy little thing as long as she isn't stuck on her belly.
