Play Time!






Ash loves her little play thing... she doesnt love tummy time but were working on that! Aunt Aleah gave us this toy! She poked herself in the eye really hard! She didn't open it for hours afterwords. Poor thing... we had an appointment the next day for the reflux so I asked if she hurt it... he said it was scratched but she would heal. Its all better now! Bless her heart!

Busy, Busy....

We made it home from our trip to Oregon! We had a blast but were glad to be home. Daddy awaited us anxiously!!!!!!!!!! I thought he was going to kiss this baby's face off when he saw her! I got the left-overs! LOL. She did great on the flights, sleeping the whole way. I didn't sleep, of course but she did, so that's all that matters!

When we got home from Oregon, the Sturgis Bike Rally was underway. Saturday, we spent the day at the pond with daddy, while he worked the rally. We had a really good time and she even got her first Harley Davidson outfit!



Ashlynne has been a bit of a fussy baby and I felt like something wasn't right but chalked it up to her being a new born. She had been projectile spitting up, swallowing excessively and a variety of other odd little habits, so I decided enough was enough and took her to the doctor. Turns out she has acid reflux. She is a different child on the medicine! Poor baby! My mommy instincts were right... I knew something wasn't quite right. Anyway, in one day we saw a huge improvement! Not to mention, she gained a pound since her shots on 8.5.10! 10 lbs, 8 oz. now.

Although I'm not working right now, we are keeping our spot at daycare. She is going 3 days a week so I can actively look for a job and help Scott with the business. Ashlynne started on Thursday and LOVES her baby sitter Miss Talita. I was nervous about how she was going to do, mostly because she can be so fussy but to mommy's amazement, the little rascal did great! Thanks to the medicine and her babysitter, she is napping during the day! One big 3 hour nap in the morning is making her a much happier child. Miss Talita has 5 other children she watches. Our buddy Hunter Morgan (Leigh Ann's baby) and 4, yep, FOUR 2 year olds! Surprisingly enough, its a very calm environment and they all nap at the same time... amazing. Better her than me! Miss Talita has fallen in love again, she said! As a mother, the most precious thing is your new born baby. The thought of leaving the baby with someone you don't know is scarier than being chased with a butcher knife but having someone like her is a breath of fresh air!!!! We love you Miss Talita.

I think thats about all we have going on.... OH and Lola did great while we were in Oregon. She did miss us a bunch!

My momma!



We had an amazing day! My mom threw the best baby shower ever. After everyone arrived, we had lunch and visited. Mom made chicken, strawberry salad. It was so good. Joanne brought a really good pasta salad. Turkey pin wheels and more! We opened gifts and boy did Ashlynne make out like a little bandit. She got beautiful clothes and lots of cool gadgets! We were so blessed to have so many great friends and family there. My cousin Sheila and her family were here... cousins Laura, Anne and Olivia from CA. Then Saturday morning Cousin Jillian came. All these people to welcome the arrival of our baby! So cool. Thank you guys! Jacki, Jennifer, Jill, Shanna, Kimme, Jodi, Jenica, Rachel, Mandy.... thank you for spending the day with us. It was nice to have you there. AND, you were super generous!

Joan Walker and Joanne, my mom's friends and Nikki, my sister-in-law did a lot to help my mom prepare. You guys were heaven sent! Thank you.

Ashlynne did so well during the shower. She slept the entire time and people held her! Kimme and Shanna were the baby hogs! LOL.

So, after is was all said and done, my mom did it again. Just so wonderful. Words dont come close to describing the commitment my mom makes to her kids and grand kids. Taylor and Ashlynne are very very lucky. I love you mom. And thank you again for being the best mom ever.
