Kids say the darndest things

Ashlynn today asked me Mom do you know who's different than the whole wide world? I said no who? She said Jesus. So I said why Jesus? And she said well because President Obama is not the whole wide world Jesus is. Love that girl!

Preston comes up with funny things all day but one that stood out was so funny. He asked me while pointing to the back of his leg if that was his armpit on his leg hahaha he cracks me up!

And then Addi's new word is Twinkle Twinkle. (It doesn't sound like it but I know that's exactly what she is saying). She is such a busy body I can't keep up with her. She's got us all wrapped around her finger that's for sure!

Preston is in Preschool

This cute little guy started preschool. He loves it and he gets dressed for school at 8 o'clock and he doesn't even go till 1 o'clock. He get's too excited. He is such a fun little guy. I love him!

Ashlynn's First Day of 1st Grade

Ash really likes 1st grade. She has gone for a couple of weeks now and she always talks about lunch and recess. Hopefully she will find joy in learning things soon. She likes to ride the bus too. It was hard to send her to first grade. I'll admit I followed the bus to school just to make sure she got to class ok. It is hard letting her go into the world without holding her hand through it all. She seems to be having fun at school and likes her teacher so I'm glad for that.

Preston's Funnies

#1 We were just sitting on the couch last night and he said mom Jesus works at the church huh?
#2 We were driving down the road today a he said mom Donald works at Mc Donalds..... not the duck. So I ask him the clown Donald and he said yep!
#3 Today I was listening to a church cd and he said is this a Jesus song.

Ashlynn lost her first tooth today. She is growing up to fast. Also this week she learned to ride her bike without training wheels. What an eventful summer for her so far. Way to go Ash. Dad and Mom love you and love watching you grow!

Weight loss

Ok so I'm going to try to blog about success and weight loss for me. I have a closet full of clothes I need to fit back into. I don't want to go buy fat clothes so I need to lose some weight. Any suggestions about weight loss or good tips would be great. Or any success stories I would love to here about. I'm a skinny girl trapped in a fat suit and Ive got to get rid of it. I'm not sure what my plan of attack is right now I just know I need to workout more and cut the fatty and sweet foods. Wish me luck!

Happy 6th Birthday Ashlynn!!

We had a fun birthday for Ashlynn. She had her first birthday party with girls this year. (she has Lot's of boy cousins and friends) So this year we invited all her girlfriends in the neighborhood. We had Pizza and played Pin the Purse in the Lady's Hand. Then we played Tinkerbell Bingo and we had a Pinata. Preston was the only boy but he had a ton of fun too. The girls kept giggling at him. Thanks to all of Ashlynn's friends who came she had a wonderful party.

I can't believe Ash is 6 already. I can't get enough of that girl. She is beautiful inside and out. She is a great friend, hard worker and very talented girl. She is sweet and sassy. We are truly blessed to have her sparkling personality light up our lives everyday. Love you Ashlynn!!

This is what we do on Friday nights......

Nothing beats staying home with the family. Ash is playing beauty shop with dad. This is one of Ashes favorite thing to do with dad. I love these two cuties.

Camping Fun!!!! & Miss Addi is 7 months old

Happy 7 month Addison!!

We had fun getting dirty this weekend and catching some sun. The kids were really good all weekend! We love going camping and hope to do lots more this summer.

Kid funnies!

Ashlynn- Hey mom I had a dream last night that you gave me a bra :)

Preston- Look I have a pocket (he is talking about his undies)

Guess who cut her first tooth today?

That would be me!!!!

Happy Easter!!

We had a great Easter Morning. The Easter Bunny stopped by and the kids seemed pleased. We woke up to snow so good thing the Bunny didn't leave eggs outside for us to find. Speaking of the Easter Bunny, when I went outside last night after midnight to take some trash out I saw a white bunny hopping around(for real). Funny I think it was the real deal ;P haha. We invited my parents over for breakfast and visited for a bit. Then Dad hide some eggs for the kids to find.

My new little hobby..

I'm learning how to make these flower hair bows. It's kind of fun. I have two little girls that have some hair bling now and they look super cute wearing them! Now I need to get to work so they can have some to match every outfit haha.

I need a little advice

I have a child who has the worst fear of going to the dentist. Every time we talk about it she freaks out. I'm talking freaks out like crazy. Nothing else freaks her out like the dentist. I know I have to take her soon. This is my question in two parts...
A. When I take her to the dentist should I warn her before we go, and deal with all the intense drama and most likely her anxiety and fear will just make her physically sick. Should I warn her the moment we get in the car to go? What would be the best approach??
OR
B. Just show up to the dentist and just get it over with. She wont have much time to deal with her anxiety. Or will that be dramatizing on her? To just shove her into that. Any suggestions would help. Thanks a bunch

My little Lady

I can't believe how fast she is growing. She just came to this earth it seems like. She is going to be 6 next month, I can't belive it. She had to get all dolled up for dance pictures on Sat. So I had to do a little photo shoot myself.

Big Girl!

Addison has some new tricks she can do. Within the last two weeks she found her feet and she can roll over on her tummy. She also is starting to grab things a lot. I keep forgetting she can roll over and she has almost fell off the couch and the bed. She has the cutest sqeaks right now it sound like she is screaming but she really is just testing out her voice box.

Check out her thick thighs! I love her rolls. I simply can't get enough of the cutie patutie!

Happy Birthday James!

So James and I got to get away for the night for his birthday we had a lot of fun, The best part was we got some alone time, sometimes I forget what it's like to go out on a date and I sure love it when I get a chance. Hope you had a good one Hubby!
