Man, I love this little girl!

I thought she was inside playing. Am I a bad mom or is she a mischievous little Ashlyn?



Two of the many funny, cute things she said/says:
1. I asked her today if she was my "little love". She looked at me with her big, brown eyes that contrasts starkly with the whites of her eyes and says, "pickle". Apparently she remembered that I have called her my little love pickle a few days earlier and today she did not want to be just my little love.

2. She always says "Hank you" whenever we help her, give her something, hug her etc. The best is when she pats or back at the same time. I love those chubby, brown fingers. Yum, yum!

A few confessions

1. I think other people's lives are more intriguing than mine, so I never get around to my own blog.
2. I would rather hit reload on my email hoping someone emailed me than blog.
3. I am really into couponing now and let that take up the other times I am on the computer and don't hit reload on my email.
4. I can't write eloquently nor am I creative, so I don't blog often.
5. I don't want to bore anyone with my life that consists of: children, exercise, husband, exercise, tutoring, exercise, house work, exercise, yardwork, exercise (you get the picture - I am crazy). Have I bored you yet?
6. I finally cut my hair today after a 6 month hiatus - next will be a highlight.

Astorga, Astorga,

How does your garden grow?


We grew carrots!!!! It was so fun to pick and know that we had planted it ourselves. (Note the lovely attire. Fashion at it's best.)




Sowing carrots, peas and some basil. All so yummy!




Taking a bite out of the pesticide-free carrot.

Easter Festivities

Spencer did not like the grass and wouldn't touch it. He apparently is in training for Mission Impossible III (the baby series).




No way would he put his knees down. I guess all those planks he did earlier on in his life paid off.





But he did enjoy the Cheerios found inside of the eggs.




Ashlyn had a lot of "busted" moments - hiding in the corner opening her candy or taking candy from other kids. But, this time another kid was checking out her loot.





Where did she get this skirt and heels? She was running around in these like she has been doing it forever. Guess she does not take after her mom - I can't walk in heels to save my life.





Kylie the leader of the pack, hand-in-had with her friend. This is so not surprising.

How is it?

How is it that my sister and 4 (out of her 5) children come for a visit and we did not even take one single picture? Is it because we were busy making cinnamon rolls and other good stuff? Was it because someone left the camera card in the computer, so we couldn't take photos at the fabulous MOSH? Or because we spent the whole time knitting (yeah, right, I wish)? Or just having a great time? Maybe it was the 2 infants in the house. Whatever the reason, no pictures to document it, just memories. I suppose those work as well. Thanks, Lisa, for coming. It was fun!

David can do woodworking, too.

Can't find a dresser, bookshelf, headboard or stool that is exactly what you want? They will custom make whatever it is you need. This is just a sample of what they can do.

Who can resist...

...rain boots, juicy thighs and sisters playing in the rain?
