Tea Party

Ashley LOVES to play. Here is a tea party she set up a while ago with her "Toy Story friends" and Daddy. (P.S. The jammies she is wearing are a size 3T Dora jammies that she swears still fit perfectly. She refuses to give them up.)

Beautiful Ladies

Here are pictures I took of Lindsay and Nicole. They did the whole skin and makeup regimen when I had my Arbonne party in July and they looked so beautiful, but then again, they always do!

Swimming Lessons

Ashley did swimming lessons this year and loved it. We also did the parent/tot class with Zach. He LOVES the water but got CRABBY if he couldn't do his own thing. He actually growled several times in his class. :)

Random Car Seat Pictures

Just because they are so stinkin' cute. . .

Zoo

I can't believe I haven't blogged about this stuff. I am the worst! Anyway, here are some pictures from our zoo trip back in (how embarrassing) the first week of July. This is the trip that was cut short when Ashley got sick with her nasty stomach bug. Thank goodness she has been healthy ever since! (Other than the little cold we all have right now, along with the rest of H-town!) Zach loved the zebras. He said, "hi zeebas!" He thought the polar bears were dogs. Ashley loved the elephants. Actually, those are her favorite animals but the pet she currently wants is a piglet. She wasn't so wild about the dinosaur walk. The t-rex scared her but they both liked digging for fossils. We went to the children's museum, too, which was a lot of fun. Ashley's favorite part of that was the pretend ambulance and Zach liked the waterworks. Ashley didn't care for that so much because she doesn't like getting wet unless she is in her swimming suit.

Art

One fine morning in July, Ashley decided to decorate Zach and herself. . .You can't quite see the details from these pictures but it was beautiful, let me tell ya. See what happens when Mommy doesn't take her shower BEFORE the kids wake up???

Trevor

In June, our nephew (it's a long story to explain the relation - Danny's ex-step-dad's grandson. . .) from Kentucky came and visited. He is 15 (will be 16 in October) and lived with Danny's family as a little boy. He was a part of our every day lives until moving to live with his dad six years ago. It was quite an adjustment but he seems to be doing well. It was wonderful to see him. There was a time we tried to get custody of him but then realized him being with his dad and sister was where he should be. It was a crazy time in our lives. . .Ashley LOVED meeting him and said "Trevor is a good man".
