NINE WONDERFUL YEARS!

Nine Years ago today, I had a fabulous cake fight with my best friend!(I totally won by the way-I dumped an entire layer of my wedding cake on his head:)


Nine Years down-Eternity to Go! Love ya babe!

Happy Halloween!

We had lots of fun on Halloween! The kids didn't have school and so we did some fun activities at home. The following two pictures are of Trey making a Frankenstein out of playdoh. He did a pretty good job if I do say so myself.





Here are a few pictures of the kids in their costumes. Trey was Ironman, and after much persuading Ashlyn was SuperGirl (she originally wanted to be Batman:)







We went to a Great Halloween party and had loads of fun with a bunch of our friends and the kids had a blast Trick or Treating and came home with loads of candy that will take forever to get rid of!

Photo Overload

My Way of playing catch-up!

TREYTON

Trey playing T-ball this summer


Trey after giving himself a haircut-notice the two baldspots!(Daddy was supposed to be in charge while I was out that night)

Playing with cousins in Utah


ASHLYN

The look on Ashlyn's face when I inform her she won't be going to school with Trey:) Poor Girl!

Ashlyn playing in the Lake by our friends cabin

Ashlyn and her friend Rylee when she came out for a visit-TOO CUTE!

Ashlyn and Faith playing dress-up

Trey and Ashlyn all worn out and just chillin' together! I love that they get along so well(at least most of the time)

You know that you are completely exhausted when:

*You spray PAM cooking spray on your counters instead of cleaner:)
*You try and drink from your daughters sippy cup instead of the Dt Coke sitting next to it:)
*You wash the same load of laundry twice:)
*You wake up in your daughters toddler bed wondering how and when you got there:)

Luckily I was able to catch up on a little bit of sleep this weekend!

This seems pretty fun-it will be even more interesting to see if anyone comments:)

MEMORY GAME

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember.

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see all the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume your playing the game and I will come to your blog and leave one about you.

Trey's Pirate room

Because of so many requests, I am putting pictures of Trey's pirate room on! The pictures don't really do it justice, it is something you really need to see in person to get the full effect. It turned out awesome though! Now I can't wait to get started on Ashlyn's room!

Trey's B-day! My little boy is 6!

Trey had a great birthday! The party was a lot of fun(I am really glad that it is over!) Here are a few photo's from the festivities! (Thanks for the great cakes Tam!)

Can I really be 30 already?!

I just wanted to do a quick post and say a great big THANK YOU to all my wonderful friends who made my birthday one of the best ever! The surprise party at Johnny Carino's was fabulous! Thanks again guys, you're great!

Holy Cow! Kara finally posted again!

There really is a reason they call us the Slackers! I have been horrible lately at keeping up with the blog thing, maybe things will settle down a bit during the summer and I can stay a little more up to date:) Wish me luck!

Here are just a few new pics:
This is one of Trey holding two fish that Russ caught on one of his weekend fishing trips.


This next one was taken the beginning of April when Trey lost his first tooth, he has since lost another one!



This last one is just of Ashlyn chillin' with some friends!



I will try and be better at updating a little more frequently!

A little late-here is Easter 2008!

Does anybody know how to get both of your kids to look at the camera at the same time and without a fake smile?!

My baby Girl is TWO!

My baby is officially a two year old now! Where does the time go? I swear I just gave birth to that child!
Here are a couple of pictures from her Birthday (March 17th) We love you Princess!

Little Miss Mischief!

Yet another reason that silence is never a good sign!
Ashlyn opened the pantry, found the hot chocolate mix and decided to help herself!

A few random pictures

This is Trey in front of our house after about the billioneth snowstorm of the season! I am so glad that spring will be here soon!

Sleepyhead

We came home from church the other day and Ashlyn was so tired she couldn't even stay awake long enough to eat her dinner!

A little Catching up to do:)

Okay, so for some stupid reason my blog isn't letting me upload pictures right now so I guess this will just be a catch up post without pictures.
I guess the most interesting news is that Russell quit his job at Wells Fargo and is now working as the Private Client Banker for Zion's. He is feeling a little overwhelmed right now because he is now considered one of the top executives of the Bank and he has a lot to learn! I know that he will do awesome though!

Next item of business: My dear sweet little five year old who thinks he is going on 16! Last night as he was eating his bedtime snack he told me he needed the phone. When I asked him why he said that he needed to call Sarah! I asked him who Sarah was and he replied,"Oh, just a girl in my class who gave me her phone# because she thinks that I am cute!" As I am trying to keep a straight face he leans over and whispers,"To tell you the truth, I think that she has a major crush on me!" I about lost it,Russ and I were trying so hard not to laugh! After regaining my composure, I informed him that he didn't need to be calling any girls for about 10 more years!

Ashlyn, is just as cute and fiesty as ever! She has been going potty a couple of times a day and keeps coming in with he pants around her ankles(usually when I have company:) So I am guessing that maybe she is ready to be potty trained? I guess I will keep everyone posted on how that goes-wish me luck!

Catch Up!

Okay, it has been forever since I have posted anything so I thought I would play a little catch up!

After the first big snowstorm, Trey immediately got all of his snow gear on and went outside to play. Ashlyn thought that she needed to be out there with him. She was just fine until she sat down in the snow and then she was done!

These next ones are just a couple of pictures from Christmas!

She refused to put the baby that came with it in the seat, but her puppy got a lot of riding time!


Trey opening his first present-a remote control spiderman!
