Hmmmm........

I really need to update my blog....................... Later...................

Photo Tag

Thanks Lindsey for the photo tag. If you haven't been tagged, here's how it works:

Go to the picture area on your computer, pick the 4th picture in the 4th folder, post it and then tell about it.

So here's mine. It's a picture of Ash when she was about 8 months I think. I love this picture of her. It makes me miss her as a baby, but not so much that I want to go back to that stage. The stage she is in right now is much better. She has such an imagination and just says the funniest things.

Anyways, I tag whoever reads my blog... (does anyone read my blog). It really is fun to see what picture you are going to post so do it.

Halloween

Halloween was so much fun this year. It was warm outside and Ashlynn loved trick-or-treating. Mark out-did himself this year again by shaving his head so that he could dress up as a baby. I added a picture from last year though just for memories. Anyways, here's what we got.

Camping, the pumpkin patch and other random stuff

I feel like it has been forever since I have blogged. We went camping the last week of September with my dad's family. It was a lot of fun, except for when it was time for bed. Austin fell asleep for a few hours and then woke up and would not go back to bed so Mark took him home and Ashlynn and I stayed up with the rest of the family. Camping with kids is crazy.
We also made it to the pumpkin patch, or the 'pumpkin field' as Ashlynn calls it. She loved it. IT was pretty cold but it was fun. She kept saying to me, 'I wish the pumpkin boy would come clean the pumpkins so we could get more.'
We also started watching Ashlynn and Austin's cute cousin Lily a couple of days a week. And for some reason whenever Lily cries, Ashlynn tells her, 'It's ok Lily. We're not witches, we're nice people.' So funny.
Ashlynn has been so big into playing house lately. She likes to be the mom, Austin is the dad, Mark is the son and I am the sweetie. I asked her what the sweetie does and she said, 'the sweetie cleans.' Lucky for me. She was playing with her dolls the other day and told me to hold one and she said, ' sweetie, hold this doll. She's not fake.' The things she comes up with?
Austin has been such a funny little guy. He loves Ashlynn. He is so close to walking but since he can get places faster by crawling, he sticks to that. He is still not sleeping through the night and it's driving me crazy. I'm in for another few nights of 'crying it out'- again. Crazy little kid.
I guess that's it for now. Go jazz.

crazy pictures

So my little sister had a rock star party for Bailee's birthday. It was so cute! Anyways, we decided to dress up the babies too. I think we should make Austin's hair color permanently blue...

Happy Birthday to Austin

Austin-

You are finally one! Yay! You are the busiest little guy. You love getting into things. You love emptying out all the drawers in the kitchen and playing in the toilet. You love to play with cars and trucks.
You are so much fun. We love you buddy!

Aspen Grove

Aspen Grove was our favorite place growing up. Anyway we went there with my dad's family a few weeks ago. It rained so we didn't do a whole lot and we didn't stay very long but it was still fun and the kids had a really good time.
