Happy Birthday Ryan

Ryan turned the BIG 35 TODAY!! I love this picture, for those of you who know my husband well, you all know what a CRAZY DIE HARD Washington Redskins fan he is. There is a buddy of his at work that lost a bet so Ryan ordered these noses for him to wear. . .Ashlyn thought it was pretty funny when she saw what they looked like in the mirror.
Happy Birthday to my BEST FRIEND, Husband, and Daddy. . .your the best, We love you.

Fun Weekend at Home!

I think Ashlyn wants to be a little baby again, mommy wishes she still was:( Over the weekend Asher came to visit, his mommy and daddy had a wedding in Mackinaw so we kept Asher while they went and then they spent the night with us. We had a great time spoiling him, Ashlyn was a little jealous I think.
Ashlyn loves to give hugs and kisses these days, here she is giving him hugs! So cute!
She really didn't like the fact that he was in her stroller, she kept trying to climb in with him.

We tried to get a picture of the 2 of them but Ashlyn was way more interested in touching Asher and giving him hugs.

Yes it looks like she is trying to squeeze his head off but I think she was just trying to give him a hug. Poor Asher!It was so cute to see Ashlyn's reaction when we put Asher in her swing. She immediately wanted to push him and kept touch his hands and face like she was taking care of him.
Even though Asher is a really good baby and Ashlyn did really well with him. . .we realize we aren't quite ready to have 2 right now:) Nice try Tess!!

Megans Bachelorette Party!



Saturday night we celebrated Megan's soon to be last night single!! We had such a great time. . .it had been way to long for all of us girls getting together for a girls night out. It was also Daddy's first night alone with Ashlyn. Saturday night they went for a long walk and then played with the neighbor girls and then Sunday morning he fixed breakfast and they ate outside and played. Of course he didn't take any pictures!! Ryan said he doesn't know how single parents do it, Ashlyn kept him pretty busy. . .I think its good for him!

Showing off the new swimsuit

Ok, so I got this suit on the clearance rack at Childrens Place-size 4T and I thought for the heck of it I would try it on and see how it fit!! YEAH, little chunky monkey fit into it just fine, I think they had the size marked wrong. . .or at least I hope so!


Little Stinker



So this morning before heading off to work, I took a load of clothes out of the dryer and come back into the laundry room to find Ashlyn inside the dryer. . .yes thats right she climbed in the dryer all by herself in a matter of minutes!! This kid will try ANYTHING!

One Week Later


So its officially been one week now that Ashlyn is walking all over and boy does she have it figured out. She is practically running circles around the house and forgets sometimes she needs to slow down. She makes me so nervous but little MISS INDEPENDENT isn't scared of anything and thinks she is HOT STUFF! So cute. Love the outfit Tess:)

Yummy corn on the cob



Looks like Ashlyn is going to take after her daddy, she loves corn on the cob. Took her a little bit to figure out what she was suppose to do with it but once she had a taste she thought it was YUMMY-ummm she kept saying.

Summer Fun

Love these 2 pictures! Ashlyn adores the neighbor girls-well I think they like her a little too. We have so much fun together and so glad to have them as our neighbors.
She looks like a little diva in her car with her shades and cell phone. Mom told her no texting or talking while driving:)


Since the weather wasn't the greatest on Saturday for the party we decided to continue the party on Sunday and the neighbor girls came over for a water balloon fight! Ashlyn loved to bite the water balloons and then she couldn't quite figure out where they went after they popped. What a great day for some summer fun!

The Big Party!

Saturday we celebrated Ashlyn's 1st birthday with 40+ family and friends! Overall the party turned out GREAT. The weather could have been better but after dinner it started to clear off so the kids could play outside. Great Grandma Jane brought Ashlyn her 1st bday Tiara to finish off her outfit but she isn't crazy about things on her head-thats why you never see bows or headbands on my cuties head, she hates them! Ashlyn loved to share her cake with mommy-it was delicious:) As you can see she did a good job digging into it!Our theme for Ashlyn's party was Cupcakes so my mom made her the most adorable cupcake-it was HUGE!! Ashlyn had no problem digging in, she kept looking at everyone one, "Like its really ok for me to be doing this." She would pick the entire cake up with both hands, it was really too cute. Zelma of course was right there to pick up every little scrap that went to the ground.
The other cake-from Janet's of course!! YUMMO- and Aunt Rachel made homeade ice cream.

Brooke & Milissa + 7!! NO WAY!! There were 7 babies under the age of 1 at the party-Ashlyn 1, Sydney 5 months, Kane 4 months, Violet and Elijah 3 months 1 day apart, Lainie 10 months, and Asher 2 months-WHEW!!
Thanks Uncle Matt & Aunt Rachel for my cool new 4 wheeler!
We got Ashlyn this cute little car-Ryan says she is all set to move out, a new house, car, 4-wheeler, tricycle, grocery cart, vacuum, and on and on!!
Lainie and her daddy!! She is such a happy little girl.
Ashlyn and her Cousin Lainie playing in her new cottage!! She loves it-thanks Great Grandma Jane, Aunt Lori, and Great Aunt Annie.
