And We Told Daddy

Josh and I have been trying for this baby since January. It took just a look to get pregnant when we were trying for Ashlynn, so the time is was taking this time was hard for me. I just didn't get what was going on. So in April I went in to see my doctor. We decided to put me on Prometruim (Sp?) to make sure my cycles were correct. I was on that one full time, then part of the next month before I thought there might be some symptoms going on. So July 2nd I took a test and low and behold!!! YAHOO.
That night we were scheduled to go to my parents house for Emery's first birthday, so Amy and I talked and thought it would be so fun to surprise Josh with the news with the family there too. I dressed Ashlynn up in her BIG SISTER shirt and had her deliver the "GIFT" to Josh, while I took pictures and Amy shot video. He was so confused. He seriously thought that little box was meant for Grandpa or someone else. He didn't get what was going on until he looked up and realized that everyone was looking at him. Awesome! Hope that was an ok way to let you know you are going to be a Daddy again! We love you!!!






Really....Ashlynn is excited. She just didn't want to be sitting on my lap with all her cousins there to play with!!

IF You Just Noticed Something....

Shhhhh....We have told the family and a few friends, but want to really keep it quiet until next week when we get to hear the heart beat. I just wanted to post how far the baby is so badly, that I couldn't wait!!! And the blog isn't looked at often enough to worry about. Face book though...NO comments there please. :)

Potty Training Is Hard Work

Sometimes you just have to cross your legs, grab your favorite teddy and your Bink to get it done. HA HA HA. Love you my little honey. I know you will hate me later for these posts, but I sure do love you.

Teaching Her The Home Keys Early

We had this old key board for a long time. She hasn't really been interested in it, but lately when I am working on my computer...she will pick up this key board and say it is "Ashlynn's Puter". Sweet little booger she is. Here she is ... working hard on some love letter to her daddy. Can't work without the bink or Gilmore. :)

Summer Time Treats With Emma And Jake

Emma and Jake came over in late June for some summer time treats and to hang out for the afternoon. What sweet kiddos. They all enjoy each other so much. Especially Ashlynn and Jake. They crack each other up. I will so enjoy showing them pictures of the two of them together when they get older. :)

Ashlynn's First Fishing Trip

Josh took Ashlynn out fishing for the first time last week. Josh said they had a great time. She loved fishing and the worms and the other kids.
What an awesome dad for taking her fishing for her first time.
