pumpkin eater

It's Christmas Time!!!! I am sooooo excited! Ashlynn is really cruising these days and enjoys discovering the Christmas decorations I have been putting out! She pulls herself up on anything she can get a hold of. Adam and I can't resist that little body crawling up our legs...ya just gotta pick her up and love her!! She just enjoys life more as each month goes by. Finally on Thanksgiving she let my mom and dad hold her without crying. YAY!!! Grandma was very thankful for that.

Here is the entertainment unit we did! I love it. I plan on making a planter box to go under the t.v. to help fill in that space.

This is what we had before:
Adam's brother was in town and whipped us up the bottom cubbies! It was awesome! Then we put the towers on top, we bought them off Craigslist. We painted it one color, added the trim and glazed it to give the worn look. It is just what I wanted:)

So, we took some pictures for fall with my sister's camera. Since she is on her mission right now in Spain, I had to ask her if it was ok if we used her camera, haha! That was one of the things she didn't want touched while she was gone. They turned out really cute!
The first set was not the best:) Ashlynn did NOT want to be in that pumpkin! It was a little cold and we forced her to sit in there...haha! poor child. Then she discovered she could chew on it. Game over. Thats all she wanted to do!



This one is a favorite because it is grandpa holding her hand. He was the only one that day that could get a good smile out of her!





I worked hard to get that one! I am grateful for my family! This little girl lights up my life. I am grateful for an amazing husband and best friend. I am grateful for my Savior and His tender mercies. I am grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and the joy it brings to my life.

Happy Halloween!

WELL......I planned on updating the blog long time ago, but you know, things come up! I just can't get enough of my little girl! She is 6 months now! She is crawling and soooooo happy about it. Life is better now that she can have some control......haha! Seriously though, she loves it. She loves to be the boss. Already.

Here are her newborn pics. I was a little disappointed I waited so long to get them done. It was almost impossible to get her sleeping! The very last one she stayed asleep just long enough. Little stinker!

I can't believe how much she has changed already! She just gets cuter and cuter!!

These are the cupcakes I made for the 4th. It was fun! It was so hot though that the fireworks (on the cupcakes) didn't last long!
OH, she LOVES to take pictures!

I made these cupcakes for my nephew's 5th birthday! THey were really fun! See the creeper in the back? We called him angry eyes and that is the one my nephew wanted.....haha! ya never know.

The PUMPKIN PATCH!

We had fun with the family at the pumpkin patch! Ashlynnn hated that we kept trying to lay her on the pumpkins! And I hate that almost all the pics came out fuzzy b/c she never stays still. We will get a better camera soon hopefully. Caden tried to hold her in the pumpkins too!


The dads don't know what to do with the babies besides play ninja but they don't mind!

CRAWLING!!!!!! AHHHHH!

She is such a cute little crawler! She can have tons of toys around her and she wants whatever is sitting on the other side of the room, no matter what it is. She loves to move! The funniest thing and sometimes saddest thing is when she is crying and crawling with her head down and she will look up and lift an arm up towards me and then fall on the ground (VERY dramatically) and cry even more! Oh my goodness! This little girl. She does that every time she sees me holding her cousin Nixon. Drama already.............

Halloween party with our friends from our ward. It was awesome!

We were totally 80's! Adam was Vanilla Ice and even had my brother shave designs in his hair! I wrote ice ice baby on Ashlynn's shirt. And I just did the best I could for my own outfit.





I am blessed!!!
