Blessing

We blessed Ashlyn back on September 11th. Jared's grandma made Ashlyn's dress. She has made all of our girls dresses...talk about a talented lady. I could never assign myself the task. I am lucky to get a button sewed on and if it stays connected all day I'm even luckier.

Jared did a great job, I feel so blessed that he honors his priesthood and presides in our home---less home, I should say. :) Thank you to all our family who came and supported us!!!

Labor Day...haha

I am still playing catch-up, I am still only to our Labor Day adventure. We decided to head to Lava for the weekend. We played at the pool, rode bikes, ate yummy food, and everything else that goes with camping.
























This picture is of our neighbors. A little while after we got there some people pulled up, unhooked their trailer and maneuvered it to their spot manually...it was too funny. Anyway, they ended up right right next to us. After a little while I heard hammering, looked outside, and low and behold the guy was hammering up a white picket fence for his pink flamingos. Ryah asked why they had birds and we didn't, it definitely had some good laughs for the weekend.

















































Ashlyn did a whole lot of sleeping. I know this is probably weird that I post about her sleeping all the time, but I have not been blessed with sleeping children. My girls do well thru the night, but during the day was a different story. This child naps 3-4 hours in the morning and afternoon...definitely no cat naps out of this child. (At least not yet)

Greys River

A few days after I had Ashlyn, the Kay side (including extended family) had a camping trip planned to Greys River, WY. The girls were already set on camping in our camp trails that Jared took them while I stayed home with Ashlyn. It was a nice little break and the girls were so excited to go with dad by themselves.

They rode four wheelers, went into Jackson to see the Bar J Wranglers, Jared transformed the four wheeler trailer into a play area for the girls with the toys they brought and they loved it, fished, ate yummy food, and made lots of memories.



































I can't wait to join in the fun next year!!!

MAJOR Catch-Up

My, my where has the last two months gone...I can't believe it is already October. I wish I could work a miracle for the warmth to last a little longer. We have had so much fun since Ashlyn's arrival (not that we did not have fun before, but being on bed rest definitely put a damper on things).

An update on the little one. Ashlyn is such a good baby, sometimes I wonder if I really remember how Kes was since life was so crazy having kids 12 months apart and Ryah was such an alert baby (and still is, that girl can survive on small amounts of sleep) that Ashlyn just seems so easy compared to those two. She is getting chubby,loves baths, and eats every 3 hours except for night. She goes down around 10 until 4:30ish which is nice. I think she is obsessed with sleeping since that is still all she does 9 weeks later. It's as though she can't get enough. When she is awake she's smiling and "talking." I looove getting her up because she is so happy. The girls absolutely love her and love interacting with her. Just a forewarning, the pics below are pretty exciting, but it captures her doing what she does best...and yes, I will probably get shot down with her being on her belly, but she loves it. She rarely will sleep any other way, and if she does she has her hands in all these weird positions and she ends up attacking her face, then lets out this horrific scream like why did I hurt her, needless to say, I cave in on occassion.















Keslee really wanted to feed Ashlyn one morning. I went to grab something and when I came back Kes said Ashlyn had to burp...I told her next time to just wait for mom because Kes is still a little clumsy herself.
