Ashley Turns 4

Our sweet little princess is 4 years old as of 5/28/2008 - can you believe it? We can't. It seems like just yesterday we were cuddling her and protecting her from the aggressive love of her 3-year-old brother Peyton. Now we have to protect Peyton from Ashley! Just kidding - it's pretty much an even battle these days.

Ashley is our baby and always will be. It's good to know that when Jenny feels like she wants another baby she can just visit her sisters-in-law. Sounds like Brandi has a little bun in the oven as I type - I can't wait!

McCall Weekend

We spent last weekend at our new house in McCall for Mother's Day and Jenny's birthday (31, if you must know). We enjoyed our time together just playing and relaxing - I don't think that will ever get old. The snow is melting and there are patches of mud everywhere. Peyton found a baseball park within walking distance and Charley loved running through Ponderosa State Park--so much so that Charley and Jeff came home with ticks. Ewww! The kids and I escaped unharmed. Those things are disgusting - good thing I have Jeff, my Eagle Scout, to hold the match to the little thing and make it crawl out of your skin. I told you it was disgusting.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day! Here are two good reasons it's great to be a mommy, but I couldn't do it without my wonderful mommy, mother-in-law, grandmas, sisters, aunts, and other wonderful women who serve as role models. Thank you for making me a better mom for these two amazing children!

Jefe'palooza

Jeff and his friends celebrated jefe'palooza last weekend by doing what they love. Scares me to death, but he needs it to live. It is definitely his passion.
