1st Weekend up North in Phillips - 2010

Grandpa and Grandma Braun finally came back from AZ after being gone since Christmas and so we went up to Phillips for everyone to get together for a visit! Do you know hard it is to get 3 little girls to sit for a picture...this is the best one I could get and there were really no smiles to be had! Got a smile out of my cutie finally :) We had a few curious little one's watch very closely to what was going on outside as the dock was being put in the lake with the big tractor. They were so cute looking on in amazement!

Spring 2010~

Happy girl!

Trying on daddy's shoes... Being a sweatheart!

Happy Easter!

The easter bunny didn't hide Ashlyn's easter basket too hard this year. She found it behind the rocking chair in her room without any problems! She liked the eggs but didn't know what to think about the rest :) Daddy hid a basket (supposedly) for mommy to find before he left on his trip, but he wasn't as nice as the easter bunny because mommy and Ashlyn still can't find it!

Weekend Visitors!

We had some visitors over the weekend and Ashlyn enjoyed all of the time she got to spend with her 2 cousins! We did some shopping Saturday afternoon (made it about 3 hours without anyone getting fussy!) and then just hung out and relaxed the rest of the weekend. Little Izzy is getting big and changing so much, and sweet Mya is looking more grown up and it quite the little lover just like Ashlyn. They got along really well and played together great. It was great to see them and Stacy and Kayla again.

How many blankets can I carry?

Boy do I love my blankies....I need to carry them all at once! But it's a little hard to carry them all.... But I sure do try!!!

Say Cheese...

Cheesy.... Not as cheesy... :)

18 months old

Ashlyn turned 18 months old this week. Her updated stats from her doctor appointment this week are: 27 lbs (80th percentile) and 32.5 inches (75th percentile). So still above average - a pretty big girl! She is starting to become a little repeater recently and has started to say more and more words each week. Her newest favorite word has become banana or "nana" and "night night". She has also learned to help feed shotzy every day. She enjoys bringing her dish over to the closet where we keep her food, scoop it into the dish, and she even takes it back to where it belongs without dumping it all on the kitchen floor (most of the time!). She is a great little helper and a busy little bee. Right now she is cooking up a storm in her kitchen...don't know what she's making but hopefully it's good :)
