where has the time gone?

Wow it has been over a month since my last post! I was hoping that because I was home more that I would post more but so far that is not the case so here is a little update!

Tyler is busy going to school and work! He is gone Monday thru Friday from 7 am to 11pm! Not sure what his schedule will be this next semester but I am sure it will be about the same! We miss him and look forward to spending time on the weekends! He is such a hard working and I am proud to have such a wonderful husband.

Me, well I am staying home and making the most out of my time. Going to the gym and enjoying being a mom! I love being a mom maker and I love that I finally have the time to do so! My house is clean more and the laundry is done and I don't have to worry about doing it at night or on the weekends! I have time to do things I love to do and look forward to crafty sewy stuff I can do!

Ashley is great! She is so much fun and gets a lot of her humor from her dad (not too sure if that is a good thing yet.) She is always saying gross when she does not like things. She is very talkative and is very good at telling us what she wants, such as hungry or wants some juice! This weekend we finally were able to throw away the pacifier!! She cried a lot the first night but finally went to sleep and did fine. The next day we bought her a new doll for her to sleep with and for some reason it calmed her down and she has not had a problem with not having it at all! Her newest thing is her diaper!!! She hates to wear a diaper or anything for that matter! it is not that she wants to wear underwear or do use the potty chair she just like to take her diaper off! So we always have to check during naps and night time to make sure she still has a diaper on! She will wake up take it off and than go back to sleep! Not sure why but it has been a mess to clean up! So we bought a potty chair and we will see what she thinks! Any Idea feel free to share!!
She is very good little girl and i am thankful for her and the energy and spirit she brings into our lives!


Where have we been the past month? going going gone!
Ashley and I decided to head back to farmington with my parents after they were in AZ for the weekend! We stayed a couple of days in NM and enjoyed all our family! We got to celebrate Molly's birthday with her! Ashley loved playing and did not want to leave! We than decided to go with my mom to Idaho to see my brother Derek and his wife for the weekend. We left and drove the full 12 hours! I was not sure how this was going to go over! Ashley gets car sick and that is a long time to be in a car for a almost 2 yr old! She is awesome! We were able to give her something to help her not get sick which helped a lot. Movies got to love movies! She watched so many movies and she did not cry or get upset the whole trip! She was wonderful! We got to Idaho and enjoyed spending time with Derek and Amanda! They are such a cute family and I just wish we were able to see them more often and spend more time with them. We took a day trip to Jackson hole, Wyoming. It was such a pretty drive and a cute little town and we ate the best burgers there! We stayed for a couple more days with Derek and we headed from Idaho to AZ! Another long day of driving decided to stay in UT for the night and than continue on our way the next morning! All in all it was a great trip and it was the longest trip I have spent with my mom in a long time and I really enjoyed our time together! My mom ended up staying the the rest of the week with us so we spent 2 weeks with her! Ashley was sad to see her go and still asks where her Grandma is! I look forward to maybe planning another trip with my mom again!
