Proud Momma!!!

Aspen has swimming lessons every Thursday and I must say that today's lesson was a hard one to watch. Every couple of weeks the owner of the swim school comes and makes sure that her teacher is doing a good job. Then for the last part of the lesson she takes Aspen and does some "aggressive" ways of teaching to help push the kids to become perfect little swimmers!!! As bad as this sounds it really works and is a good method in keeping the kids learning new things and advancing on to harder swimming techniques. Aspen always leaves wanting more and really enjoys her lessons. Sometimes it's just hard for me to watch.






This after noon Aspen asked me if we could go out for a walk. How could I resist it's the nicest day we have had since we've been back and I'm carving the sun so bad right now! So I put the babes in the stroller and took them on a nice little walk around to block! MAN I CAN"T WAIT FOR SUMMER!!! I hate keeping the babes locked up inside all the time!!

VALENTINES

So on Valentines morning Aspen and I made heart shape cupcakes with pink frosting and pink sugar on top. Then Made a big breakfast for daddy!! After that we went and delivered the cupcakes and Valentines to Aunts, Uncles and Cousins!! All in all it was a pretty mellow Valentines!

*8* months and on the move...

Irelynn turned 8 months last Friday!!! For about a month now I have been worried that I was going to miss the first time she crawled because Aspen Crawled on her 8 month birthday I knew that Irelynn wasn't going to be far away, and Yes Irelynn took her first little crawl on her 8 month birthday. Although she has not mastered it quite yet she is now crawling all over!!! Where have these past 8 months gone???

Circus Circus...

Tonight we took the kiddos to the Jordan Circus. Aspen LOVES elephants!! They had some pretty good talent acts and some sweet animal tricks like, tigers jumping through fire, poodles dancing,and elephants you could pay $10 a kid to ride (don't worry we didn't let them)!!! This is our second year going to this circus. It's a nice local one thats not to expensive.


I think she looks so old in this picture... Our baby is growing up so fast!





A couple of weeks ago I took the kids to Discovery Gateway! Aspen was in heaven! I heard it's hit or miss there as far as the crowds and I guess we hit it on a good day. There was so many thing that Aspen was into and so many "friends" that she could play with. It was a nice outing and would like to hit it one more time this winter if any one is in!

SLEDDING!!!!!!

Saturday we took the kids sledding! Along with Dustin and Kohen, Kelsey and Rylee!! The kids had a blast. As for us it was more like a work out, pulling them back up the hill! They even thought it would be fun to just roll down the hill. After a couple hours and an accident in all of Aspens snow clothes I think we all had about as much as we could take for a day. All in all I think next time we will go somewhere where we can take the snow mobiles and get up the hill that way! Maybe even a portable potty!!!

Playing with the GIRL cousins....

Aspen loves playing with kids. Everyday when she wakes up she says " where are my friend momma? Can I play with my friends today?" Over the past couple weeks we have been playing with my cousins Christa's girls. It's nice having her play with girls sometimes, it's not so loud!!! They play more girly things like dolls, horsey rides, and even sit down quietly and watch movies. It's a nice time to sit and catch up with my cousin.
