A conversation with Ashlynn

The other day I was in the bathroom getting ready and Ashlynn found her wallet. Here is the conversation we had.......

Ash: Mom I need some money
Me: I dont have any
Ash: But I need some
Me: But I dont have any. Go ask Dad.
Ash: Dad is asleep. Where is his wallet.

I was laughing so hard. She is so funny. She learns quick. I think we may be in trouble.

Just one more for today

Well I realize I have outposted myself today, but when I'm on a roll and when I havent posted forever that's what happens. Plus I wanted to try and see if I could post pictures side by side.
Anyway, these are just some random pics of Ash.
No more posts for today, I promise.

SNOW

Ashlynn and I went outside for a while today. It was so much fun! And so cold. Ashlynn loved making snow angels and throwing snowballs. Yahoo for snow!

Austin is 4 1/2 months

Austin is getting so big. He is so happy and is so much fun! Ashlynn loves her litte Austy.

No More Diapers!!!!!!!

Ashlynn is finally out of diapers! Yay! I am so excited! She has been doing great! Here are a few pictures of her in her 'potty attire.' Yes, she sits on the bathroom throne in her barbie dress. And she still doesnt let me do her hair.

(By the way, does anyone know how to put pictures side by side on a blog?)

Nothing

So I have been trying to get some new pictures of Ashlynn and a video of Austin to post but I cant seem to record Austin and make him laugh at the same time- unless you want a blurry video (even worse than I usually do) and Ashlynn will not let me take any pictures of her.
So until I get some new pictures I'll just let you know what's been going on:

Ashlynn has started going pee in the potty! She is doing really well. She hasnt gotten the #2 down yet but hopefully that will come. She got a new barbie dress and between that and her princess p.j.'s that is all she will wear. Her favorite movie right now is Hairspray and she asks me to fix her hair like Tracy on hairspray. Funny little girl.


Austin is four months now. He still isn't sleeping through the night yet, but he's getting better. I can get him to laugh so easily and it is so cute. He is a really good baby. He just started eating cereal and vegetables and he loves them.

Well when I can get some pictures and some video I will post them.
