End of June

Ashlyn watching her baby einstein movies - so focused...
My sweet little Red Head....
*Ashlyn does this when she's crawling and we call her name - she turns around and has to grab on to her leg to balance, she spreads her toes apart too...


Well I've been a little busy this week but also a little bored sometimes! It started out not so well with my husbands truck being broken into on Monday while he was on his lunch break - they stole his GPS (it was in the center console) I got him for Christmas 2 years ago and we were pretty bummed, we didn't really notice much else gone which is silly because he had tons of tools under the back seat, expensive sun glasses, a knife and keys to his tool box in the bed of the truck. We did realize last night that they stole our diaper bag that we always kept in Blakes truck (they must have thought it was a purse or something) I hope they were surprised to find diapers, wipes, a spare outfit and a changing pad! They were quite messy and threw papers around all over. The next couple days Ashlyn and I just hung out at home and at times I was bored because daytime tv is nothing to brag about, my house was clean, my emails were updated, laundry was done, and I didn't feel like napping! Last night we went to an indoor shooting range with our friends Mark & Clarissa Judy - I shot a 40 caliber pistol and a rifle that was made in 1932. We went to dinner at Pei Wei afterwards and we loved it - Blakes parents watched Ashlyn for us and this was our 2nd date without her and she is 6.5 months! One thing I did get to do was plan for my sister in-law Robin Powell's Diaper Party which we had this morning and it turned out really nice... This is her 3rd baby so we just thought it would be fun to have everyone bring diapers! We did a breakfast pizza *yummy*, fruit, french toast bagels (my favorite), carmel popcorn, cookies, and we had sugar rimmed drinks with orange juice and sprite! We had rose pedals in the middle of the tables with pacifiers to decorate along with candles and we hung up boy onesies on a ribbon with clothes pins..... So Cute! It was really fun and we played a few games, visited and ate lots of food! Blake and all the boys in his family went to the lake this morning and I'm just waiting for him to return hopefully without a sun burn! A few days ago Ashlyn started scrunching her nose while she smiles and then breathes kinda fast through her nose and it is hilarious, she's growing up so fast! She also sat up with a few pillows around her and watched a whole movie of baby einstein on Thursday while I rested on the couch! I think her two front teeth may be showing up in a few weeks - they seem to be a little swollen. All in all it has been a pretty good week - Now it's hard to believe that July begins tomorrow!!! happy summer
