Columbia Zoo

Columbia South Carolina Zoo
16 March 2015

We took advantage of Aaron's day off on Monday and checked off one of our things to do on our bucket list for here in South Carolina. We went to the River Bank Zoo & Garden with the Laynes.
Aaron, Jordyn, Jax Tossey  Aleks, Amy, Rex and Markus Layne

We are so sad the Laynes are in the Air Force and will be moving end of May, we are really going to miss them!
Jordyn, Jax, Markus and Rex Layne
I didn't realize until we got to the Zoo but I guess the color of the day was turquoise cause Jax, Jordyn and Ashlyn had turquoise on.

Jax was pretty excited about the Giraffe

I love how my children pose for me!


Jax absolutely loves fish!

These kids are so fun!

Jordyn had fun one day while she was supposed to be going down for a nap I come in to find this! She had gone through Nana's bag and found her makeup. Like mother like daughter I guess.

I love these pictures! Jordyn was just so happy to get to hold/sit with Ashlyn, pure joy! makes my heart melt!



Jordyn was not neglected at all while Nana was here. They became best friends! Although I know my Mom misses her I'm sure she was excited to get back to her own bed. Jordyn has just moved to a toddler bed and was up and down all night with Mom.

Ashlyn Esther Tossey

Ashlyn Esther Tossey
Born: 15 February 2015

8 lb. 5 oz.
19 1/4 inches


Tossey #3 is here!!!
I had joked with Aaron and my Mom that I was going to go into labor while sitting at the airport waiting for my Mom to land...and that's what happened! As I was sitting in the "cell phone waiting area" at 5:15 I began to feel my first contractions! So I helped Mom in the van and told her that I think I'm going into labor and that she got here just in time! So me made it back to the house and I called Aaron from work and we headed to the hospital. Leaving Mom there to make dinner and put my kids to bed.
I guess I'm just in for long labors because all of mine have been 13+ hrs. Also I should just come into the hospital with a list something like this...

Yes I want an epidural and I'll take it when I can get it (judge all you want, I'm a sissy ;)
I get sick so I'll need something to dispose of that. but this and this and this medication doesn't work.
I get heartburn so if you could get me some tums ready that would be great.
My contractions get harder and longer as I go along but they stay further apart.
And be ready for a long labor.
I have big babies (9.1 8.1 and 8.5)
and it doesn't take long for me to push. (it took one push with each of my kids)

Well it's a girl! Ashlyn Esther.
She's named after her Great-Grandmother Esther Tossey (Aaron's Dad's Mother)



 The kids love her already and have been doing really well! Jordyn is always trying to cover her with her blanket. Both ask to hold her all the time. 
 Jax was so funny. So anytime and every time I would ask Jax if Mommy was going to have a girl or a boy Jax would always say girl. So when I was still in labor Sunday morning on the 15th my Mom took Jax and Jordyn to church. She had everyone asking about us. Well anytime someone asked Jax if he had a new baby sibling he would tell them that he had a new sister. We actually got a txt from one of our friends congratulating us saying "Jax says he has a new sister, congrats." lol Aaron just texted back saying that we're still waiting but thanks!
ps he says we're have a boy next...haha
 Total: 5!!!
I told Aaron that we are officially outnumbered!
