Ashley is so funny!

So I'm really behind with my posts due to the fact that we didn't have the internet forever and our computer crashed and I lost my camera..... That being said so much has changed since this summer for our family. Ashley is getting so big and has such a cute personality! She is very different from her big sister! She loves to explore things and gets into a little bit of trouble at times. She is very quick to give you a big smile and say, "I'm sorry, it's okay, don't be sad". (While she is stroking the side of your face!) I love love her! Here are a few pictures that explain a lot better than my words can! ENJOY!

Ashley watched Kaylie open her stocking then snuck over to get the goods when Kaylie wasn't looking!

I think she stayed in this doll playpen all day long!

She looks so cute and innocent right?!

She stuffed her sock monkey in the garbage can, then climbed in and....

Pulled almost the whole roll of toilet paper off and stuffed it around her.

Ashley eating her PB&J, well sort of she was stuffing peanut butter in her belly button!

We love our crazy sweet little Ashley!

Dancing is FUN!

Kaylie started taking dance at The Ruby Shoes Dance Studio where she is learning all kinds of skills! Her favorite part besides the actual dancing is getting ready for dance and then of course she stays in her "ballet-a-tard" all day! Thank you mom for taking these pictures for me since I lost my camera! This was her outfit of choice for her second dance class! Note that in her pose she is making a sunshine with her arms and a diamond with her legs :)

Remember when....

So I was just trying to remember what Kaylie looked like when she was Ashley's age. She was so adorable! I love seeing these pictures and remembering her like this. It seems like a lifetime ago. These pictures were taken in Washington DC.

Hooray!

Well we finally have the internet at home and my brother and my friend fixed my computer. I never thought I would become computer "retarded" but I don't know anything about computers anymore! Thankfully other people do! Wow, where do I start! We had an amazing Christmas! December was full of heartache and fun! My sister-in-law's dad passed away suddenly and Jeff's Grandma passed away as well. We were grateful to be with our family! I got to meet all of Jeff's cousins and extended family on his dad's side. And since my parents came home from their mission the end of November a bunch of my family came to town after Christmas! Did I mention the SNOW! Holy cow sledding is the best but we have only gone once...I have taken a ton of pictures but none of them are on my computer yet and I can't find my camera so I'll just add them later. Kaylie turned 4! Where has the time gone!!
I found this picture of Kaylie and her cousin Alexa from this summer when we first moved in. They changed out of their clothes and put on swimming suits and put their panties on their heads, yes those are the panties they were wearing all day! SICK! They're crazy, cute but definitely crazy!

Family Pictures

We finally went and had some family pictures taken yesterday and they turned out way better than I thought they would! We went at nap time, need I say more but the photographer was very patient! Ashley wouldn't let go of me the whole time but you can't tell! We even got a cute one of the girls together. I was holding Ashley way out to the side of me so Kaylie could hug her, I can't believe I'm not in the picture. Jeff put their names on these close ups. They turned out soooo cute!! (Don't let Ashley's innocent little face fool you, she was a NIGHTMARE, but she's a cute one :)

I've never done this before!

I've Been Tagged This is my first tag ever. I was tagged by Catherine, so here it goes:


7 random and/or weird facts about me:

1. I smuggled an Alaska Malamute Puppy on an airplane from Alaska to Utah. It was only four weeks old and I've never had a dog before so I had no idea how to take care of this poor animal! I smuggled it in a duffle bag that had mesh sides so it could breathe. The guy who asked me to take the puppy to Utah for him said that all I had to do was give the dog a baby aspirin and it would sleep the whole trip, YEAH RIGHT! It howled the entire time! I didn't get into trouble though until I had to transfer planes from Alaska Air to Southwest, they absolutely have a NO PET policy! What was I supposed to do just leave the poor dog in the airport? So, yes I put it in the duffle bag. She peed everywhere! I got a couple of airplane pillows to put in the duffle bag and when she was sort of quiet I hurried onto the plane! I kept hearing people around me asking if a baby was crying and then someone said it sounded like an animal, the flight attendant tracked down the howling and was FURIOUS! She gave me a big lecture on how if someone was allergic to my dog they would have to make an emergency landing and it would ruin everyone's plans for the holidays. All the flight attendants kept walking by and staring at me, some of them would say, "So you're the one with the dog," and shake their heads. They tried to corner me to tell me that I couldn't get off the plane that I was going to be fined or something. BUT I realized that Southwest doesn't have assigned seating so they had no idea who I was, I bailed! I will NEVER do anything like that again! That is the short version too!
2. I was kidnapped when I was a little girl, thank goodness my dad found me!
3. I love to dance and I'm TERRIBLE at it, thank goodness my kids don't know how bad I am! When Jeff is gone we always sing and dance and I can be my retarded awkward self :)
4. I like Spam :) My mom used to make it for me all the time, to some of you that may explain a lot :)
5. I got to meet Richard G. Scott and shake his hand and the whole time I kept thinking, "Some little man took Richard G. Scott's head!" He is a little guy! He is AWESOME!
6. I went running with my old roommate once in Oakley, Idaho and we got chased by a llama.
7. I haven't missed a day reading my scriptures for almost two years now! I just need to do more studying!!!
