Thanksgiving !!!

What a great week it was although short. We spent Thanksgiving with my family on Thursday and I did all the cooking and Baking and the food was great however the turkey almost didn't make it when my fathers 50 yr old roaster finally retired, but alas my dad had another so we finished roasting in the stove and everything turned out great to the point that we all were stuffed. Even Ashtyn enjoyed it more this year. Then in the evening we went over to Todds Family's house to spend time with that side of the family and do a white elephant exchange which was fun and after we all ate and enjoyed the company of cousins, aunts, uncles,moms and dads. It was such a great time that by the time we got home that night we were tired. All in all it was a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Friday Black Friday what a fun day. We got up early and got ready to go shopping before we were supposed to get our christmas pics taken however instead I rescheduled and we just shopped and hung out since I was not feeling very well but by the late morning early afternoon I was doing better. We had so much fun shopping and went out for breakfast. The deals we got were great and we are enjoying our Christmas deals and my Shopping is almost done but I should be finished by the next weekend or so. I love this time of year and always look forward to Christmas and singing holiday carols and watching Rudolph, Frosty, and White Christmas a million times and since Ashtyn is into Rudolph this year I know she will have fun too. I also love decorating the tree and wrapping presents and of course Baking all of the goodies I am about to start on this month. If you have a request for chocolate cheese fudge or Rum cake or any other yummy goodies let me know. I also love to go with the Family to Temple Lights which we have done sunday and will be going again on Friday night and next sunday night. I enjoy walkin gthe Temple grounds it is so joyful and peaceful. We will also be doing Zoo Lights Saturday which is so much fun every year and in about a week or so we will be doing Christmas at Schnepff Farms which is a total blast. Wow so much going on and the joy of seeing Family. I love the Holidays!!

Happy Happy !!! Anniversary and Election Day!!!

Well I must say the weekend was a great . Ashtyn had the best time trick or treating Friday night and she was so cute with rave reviews on her costume everywhere. She was my adorable little scarecrow. She also got a super load of candy.

What A Fun Month!!!

Well its been awhile but the last couple of months have been super fun. In September we went back to San Diego for another fun filled Vacation and this time around Ashtyn had Lots more fun especially cause we got her a leash that had her very own backpack. She loved it and the freedom to walk near us without wandering. It was another great vacation and we look forward to traveling next year when Todd gets a fresh new year of PTO.

As for this month well Halloween is coming in a week and we are so excited. Ashtyn will be the cutest Scarecrow. Todd's Birthday was Friday OCT. 17th and he turned the big 26 and to quote Cody Linley on DWTS we would jokingly say " IM A MAN NOW" LOL!!!. So Happy Birthday sweetie I know you enjoyed your day and the weekend. We went to Olive garden for dinner and then back to our house for cake and ice cream on Friday and wow he got an xbox 360, some games, a movie and a couple of gc. Saturday we took Ashtyn to Schnepf Farms for a family fun outing for the season. We love going to Schnepf Farms every year it is so much to do and so fun. We picked Pumpkins rode rides ate and went on a hay ride. Me and Todd will be going again when my sister comes down for some adult fun. If you don't get to go then I recommend going for their Christmas time event cause this year they are making a real ice skating rink outdoors so it will be fun. Sadly Todd has had to work the last several sundays and will be again so on sunday he worked but the we barbequed with our friends in Az City for his birthday and that was fun too.

I am looking forward to this coming weekend and the fun of Haloween next week cause after that it will be November and we all know what time it is then................ Election Day! LOL !!just kidding , No I mean THANKSGIVING Yeah!!! I love this time of year I only wish I could be in the green covered fall leaved covered area of the East Coast and South East.Well I am counting the days till then and Christmas and all the fun to follow. I hope everyone is doing well and I am thinking of yall.

Have a Great Week!!!!!

Yeah!!! A New Car

I am so happy the weekend is here. It has been a good week with Ashtyn getting a new cousin and me and Todd getting a brand new car. Yep thas right we got a new car that is already getting us better gas mileage than the nissan and will be saving us a super load of money. It is really neat and we both are super happy with it and it is very comfortable to drive and ride in although I barely have let Todd drive it hee hee!!! The car we got is a 2008 Jeep Patriot Limited. Thia will sound nerdy but it has a year of sattelite on it and it is glued to the 80's station LOL!!! ANyway I look forward to the weekend and going out on the town in our new car. I really hope it continues to Rain so everyone out there pray or do a rain dance. Have a good weekend and we will hollar at ya soon.

1st Real Haircut!!

Well Ashtyn got her first full on haircut on Friday and as you can see by the pic she is too cute. She sat real still for the whole thing but started to cry when the hair dresser blow dryed her hair otherwise she was really good. They even put a little clip in her hair and it worked out nice cause it actually stayed for a while. I am very proud of her for being such a sweet and patient little girl for her cut.

Happy Monday!!

Hey Yall

Well its a super hot monday here in good ol Az and I have my computer back so now I can work further on posting all those pics I said I'd post so stay tuned. I hope everyone had a good weekend and beautiful fathers day.

I want to say Happy Fathers Day to my dad whom I adore so much. You are the best and of course I followed your wishes and got you nothing as requested for once LOL!! I also want to say Happy Fathers Day to the most Loving,Caring, and Beautifal man in my life, my Husband Todd who has been such an awesome Daddy. Ashtyn loves her daddy so much and everday when he comes home from work I get ignored cause its all about Daddy. I already know she is going to be a daddy's girl. Oh well maybe the next one I'll get all the attention LOL!! SO again we love you so much Todd you are our Brightest Star!!!

The weekend was fun. On Saturday I went shopping with my mother in law and then we all went over to our cousins for his 3rd Birthday party. Happy Birthday Edward. It was a total Blast to go swimming and Ashtyn, who loves the water, had fun and was finally but slowly learning to hold her breath in the water. Now whenever she sees a pool or floatie she points wanting to go in. If she had her way she would live in the water by day and sleep outdoors by night. After the pool we went miniature golfing which was way fun but ohhh so hot. Sunday we barbequed at Todds Parents and had a nice dinner. I let todd and Ashtyn sleep most of the day so it was a relaxing break for him. I will put up the pics we got him for fathers day so check back as part of the Pics update.

Hope everyones week is a cool one and Till next time.......

Hey Yall!!!

Welcome to the first posting on our Blog. Me and Todd are so excited to be doing this and hope you enjoy reading this and learning about our family and our lives. Being that this is June and we are going into summer there are always alot of fun things to see and do during this time of the year. Well if you look at the cute pics we just got back about 3 weeks ago from San Diego where we went to Sea World, The zoo, The Beach, and took a nice Harbor tour in the bay. This was Ashtyn's first Vacation and she had so much fun. She loves the Outdoors so much that being out everyday was a blast. Ashtyn also loves all kinds of animals and so Sea World and The Zoo was simply the best. Of course who can forget the Beach. At first she was scared but then she loved it so much especially the seagulls. It was just an amazing time and we are already wanting to go back. SO what else has been going on in our family, well Todd is still working hard as ever and is being groomed for management at the prison and I if no one knows have my own Avon business which grows every week. I fyou are reading this and are interested in buying or selling Avon or no ove anyone who is looking let them know that I am selling and I will post a link to my web site to order. Ashtyn is now 15 mos. as of today and for the last 2 1/2 mos. she has been walking and loves it so much. She also loves the water so much we will be soon enrolling her in Swim Lessons for the summer. I will let the cute pics from our vacation speak for themselves and wish every father out there a Happy Fathers Day!!!

Till Next Time!!!
