the kids thought it would be fun to pretend they were babies and so they all got binkies and laid down........... Whatever keeps 'em quiet....

What bugs ya Wednesday.....

If any of you used to listen to 1280 the zone, they use to do this thing on Wednesday where you could call in and say what bugs you.... well I know it's not Wednesday and i know most of you wont care, but I am so mad and blogging is the only thing I can think of right now to make myself feel better. So here it goes...

I was trying to clean up and as I picked up one of the toys to put in the bucket a freaking spider was on it. I hate those stupid things. Bugs, spiders, insects- their all the same... why cant they just stay outside like they are suppose to? Or better yet, why cant they all just die.. In my mind I like to think there is a special place in hell for them where they all burn. I hate them more than Kobe Bryant, and phil Jackson. I would give up my bad habbits of diet coke and mountain dew if I never had to see one again. They just make me want to swear.... I would rather spend money on killing the dang things than on groceries. i hate spiders so much. I swear they are of the devil.

Anyway, I am happy to say that we have the bug gods coming over to spray again so hopefully this will take care of them.

Lots of pictures

It seems like we have been so busy playing lately. It's been so much fun though. We are loving that it is warm....finally........



Austin's first swimming party! He loved it.



Austin and Gav.... they are buds



this is Austin's cousin Davis. He is 6 months old. Besides their size, I swear they look so much alike.



Austinb is huge.......



playing out in the sun is so much fun.......



my sister is back from Washington so she can fix Ashlynn's hair once in a while. Yay!



Ashlynn likes to dress up and sleep on the stairs... crazy little girl

Swimming with aunt Katie

call of the wild!

Austin has been really noisy lately. He sounds so funny! I just love listening to him. Check it out.

Jungle Jims and outside

Ashlynn's cousins came over today and we went outside to play. They had so much fun jumping on the trampoline and riding bikes and playing in the house.






We took the kids to Jungle Jim's a while ago with our friends. Ashlynn had so much fun with her friend Sadie. It wouldn't have been so bad if Jungle Jims wasn't such a dirty place. Man somebody needs to clean the carpets and the bathrooms in there. And a few air fresheners would do wonders.

Go Jazz!!!

Here's to Game 6- we better win!!



Ashlynn actually wore her Jazz dress the entire day!!!!



It's impossible to get a good picture of them both at the same time





I just thought this one was really cute!!

no pictures- just some funny stories

So I just wanted to write down a couple of things Ashlynn has said. Mostly so I can remember later on in life when I'm older (older than 30- that is so old.)

Anyway, so the other day I was going through some old maid cards with Ashlynn and I was asking her what the pictures were on the cards. She would say, 'baseball player, mailman, doctor' and all that. When I held up the old maid card and asked her who it was, she said 'abuela' (grandma in spanish). It was so funny. She watches Dora so I know thats where she got it from, but I thought it was funny.

One more thing. I'll just write the conversation between Mark and Ash.

Ash: Dad where are you going?
Mark: to work
Ash: Why
Mark: So I can make money for you.

So Mark comes home from work and Ashlynn asks Mark what he has in his pocket, and Marks says 'my wallet' and she said, 'what's in your wallet?' and Mark says 'money' and Ash says, 'for me?'
It's not that funny except that everyday now she asks me if dad is at work making money for her.

Oh ya, and on a good note, for two days now Ashlynn has let me pick her clothes and she even keeps them on. Still a fight with her hair, but one step at a time.
