I love my life!!! I have gotten everything I have ever wanted and more. It doesn't get any better than this.

Play/Guest Room Completed

Well it is official. Eric and Andrea got to be our first guests to stay over. (Thanks guys, we had a fun time.) They were the first to benefit from our new play room/ guest room/ entertain yourself, so I can keep my sanity room/ cool place to hang out room. It is officially painted! No longer will the terrible texture situation plague us. John and I had a lot of fun working on this project and I am so happy to have a place for us to play again. Special thanks to John for doing most of the work, My mom for watching the kiddos and helping with the paint, my dad for all his tools, Johns family for the money that got us started on the project, and My babies who inspired me in the first place. (Sorry I didn’t paint the ceiling red and the closet purple for you Luke, but you have to keep resale value in mind!!! But I love you for your creativity.)

Off to a slow start!!!


Helping Hands

Etching out the glue crud, Shoot me now!!
Finished Product

Packing Peanut Paradise

Why is it that when I turn my back for one second, Luke and Noah find trouble!!! Crazy Buppas.

Thomas the Tank Engine (Tanked)

So we read in the paper that the Toys r Us store was going to do a Thomas Day, with book readings, coloring pages, trading cards and lots of other fun Thomas stuff. So we told the boys about it all week and got them revved up to go. Saturday morning we rushed over in our conductor attire, to find that they had canceled it due to lack of participation. Luke was distressed. So John pestered all the employees until he found one that talked to a manager and got a hold of some coloring pages and cards. So all in all it turned out to be a fun trip. And now Luke keeps quizzing me on all the names of the train cars, because I guess I am supposed to know all of them just like he does.

Spiderman Splendor

Grandma Larson has made a blanket for all of her grandbabies. Only Luke really isn’t much of a baby anymore, so he got a special Spiderman blankly to snuggle up in. Thanks Grandma!

5 MONTHS MATURE

Ashley is becoming such a little lady. She is 5 months old today!!! She is a roller now, back to front (still trying to figure out stomach to back). She makes me laugh everyday. Every morning when she wakes up, I lean over her pack n play and she gives me a huge smile. She has been sleeping through the night for a couple months now, something my boys didn’t find necessary at this age. She has learned … (Side Note - As I was typing things got a little too calm, so I went to check on Noah, and I couldn’t find him anywhere. Then Luke said he was in my bed. So I looked and didn’t see him at first. Then he burst up from under the covers and growled at me pretending to be a lion. I tell you what, he makes a great hide-n-seek partner, so sly and sneaky.) Anyways, Back to my Ash, she has learned that blowing “raspberries” makes everyone laugh, as does her little belly chuckle, she is a very ticklish little chica. She is really starting to look like Luke, but she still has a Noah smile. She has a tinge of red hair, which is mostly rubbed off in the back (she looks like she is wearing a bald headband haha). All in all, she truly is one of the happiest babies. Then again, what RonJohn kid isn’t. We are so lucky to have her in our lives.

Sorry no pictures this time, (Second Side Note - My camera has decided to take a leave of absence. So if any of you have some good suggestions on a brand or type to invest in, please comment and let me know, thanks.)

Happy 5 monther Asholeena!
