Holy picture overload! I decided to clean up my cell phone and get rid of some pictures so I transferred them to the computer and then decided I wanted to share some (or a lot) in the blog! Get ready for a whole bunch of randomness!
Most of the time if the kids know I am going to take a picture of them they hug each other. I do not tell them to pose like this, they just do. :)
My music duo.
I'd like you to meet Miss Independant. This girl wants to (and can!) do pretty much everything she has to. Putting on her shoes? Piece of cake! She's been doing it by herself for months now.
Ash went through a phase where she wore her snow boots for a week straight. Daws wanted to join in on the fun!
Running through the sprinklers! P.S. Dave fixed all the sprinkler heads in the front and back yard so I don't have to worry about watering anymore, they're set up to come on on their own! Our grass looks much better now. :)
Playing dress up!
I was laying on the couch and Dawson came and sat on my lap and then Ashlynn sat next to him and laid down on his lap. I love my little cuddle bugs!!
Ice cream at Iggy's!
Ashlynn and mommy. :)
My handsome!
The girls were sleeping over one night and all of the kids were playing upstairs.... I would go up and check on them every few minutes and this is what I saw one time when I went upstairs. They were giving Ashlynn a Cinderella makeover! Love it!
I thought the lighting and clouds looked cool. :)
One of the kids, I forgot which one, pointed out that the cloud in the middle looked like a heart! I love that the kids love looking at clouds with me.
Another project. This one was a quick one! Get rid of the ugly lights on the front porch and both sides of the garage...
Before...
Much better! After...
Ghetto "drive in" movie. *lol* The kids watched a movie in the Durango while Dave switched out the lights. They loved it.
Playing Crazy 8's! Yeah, he kicked my butt.
Movie time.
Bronco cheerleader.
Dressed up for another pre-season Broncos game.
More cool clouds. I'm a bit obsessed.
I woke up one morning to both kids laying in my bed. Not completely unusual, they often sneak into bed with us sometime after 5am. I love it! But what was unusal is Dawson's head was at the foot of the bed this time... (bad pic, I took it from over my shoulder as I was sitting on the edge of the bed).
But I know why he was sleeping the wrong way... Ash was being a bed hog! (another over the shoulder pic lol)
I love waking up to my babies!
We went to an actual drive-in to see Planes, the screen is MUCH bigger than the one we have in the Durango. :P
This girl is FULLY potty trained!!! She'll even poop in the potty with no problem. No more holding it until she can't hold it anymore, she just goes when she has to. YAY ASHLYNN!!!! I love that cute little butt!!
Hailee told me they were "four bugs snug in a rug"
Root beer floats on the deck with Mema and Pepaw!
Sleepy boy.
These are the pretty pink clouds that Ashlynn noticed on her own and made sure to tell me about them. Thanks, Ashlynn, it was beautiful just like you said!
Close-up. This boy has stolen my heart.
Dave was exhausted after work one day and laid on the rug and Ashlynn decided to lay on him and watch TV, but not before she put a headband on him. (You'll have to look closely)
Shoulder ride for a cute little fireman.
Funny story about this night, that has nothing to do with the picture.
We went out to eat at Firehouse Subs for the first time this night
(hence the fireman hat) and we took our time eating, let the kids choose
what flavor of punch they would get at the soda machine, etc. Dawson
said he had to go potty so I took him and when we got in the bathroom I
realized he had put his shorts on backwards!!! Two back pockets in the
front, zipper and button in the back! I was DYING laughing. I couldn't
believe he had been walking around with us for so long and we didn't
notice!!!
We bought a new kitchen table and chairs! We were tired of the counter height one and we were tired of bumping our knees on the legs of the table since they were on the four corners of the table! The legs are in the middle of this table. Our knees are thanking us. (table from RC Willey, chairs from World Market)
Baby girl is 2 years and 8 months old and still rearfacing. In the car at least. We turned her seat in the Durango in July and we'll be flipping it around in the Altima soon, too. I'm really not looking forward to it, though. I might change my mind...
Ashlynn's turn for a shoulder ride!
This is my view 99% of the time when I'm watching TV with the kids. Ashlynn LOVES to sit on mine or Dave's lap. I hope she never outgrows this because I love it, too.
First day of fall dance classes.
And she did AWESOME. She's so happy that dance started back up again!
This girl has also stolen my heart.
We got the kids each a Mini Murph pizza so they could make them themselves. They LOVED it and Dawson finished his entire pizza! So glad we got two!
The boots are back and this girl is obsessed with books. When she wants to read a book with me she'll say "you talk, me read. You talk, me read" That means she wants me to read but she wants to turn the pages. The other night I was getting ready to read her a bedtime story and our conversation went like this:
Me: Pick a book, Ash
Ashlynn: Me first! Me read first.
Me: Ok, go ahead.
Ashlynn: You talk, me read.
Me: Ok *starts reading*
*fast forward to the end of the book*
Me: The end
Ashlynn: Ok, your turn to read!
Yep, she made me read the book again. *lol* I love the way her little mind works.
Playing with their Innotabs.
And lastly, a family pic!
