We have been doing well. The summer has been great. It goes by way to fast though. <br />
First of all our little boy isn't so little anymore. He is turning into an amazing boy! We celebrated his 2nd birthday in March. It was fun we had the grandparents there and my sister, brother, and his wife. I just can't believe Ethan is 2 1/2 now. He is talking all the time now too. I love hearing him say everything that I say. I just need to be careful what I say:) But I do love it. It was funny because recently he has started saying "Oh Good night nurse!" "What the heck?" or "Oh my gosh!" Yeah he has learned those all from me. But it is cute coming from him. <br />
He has also started wearing glasses. He started wearing those in March as well. He has done remarkably well with them. I thought that it would be more of a hassle but it isn't. He will ask for them if we forget to put them on in the morning. He also looks adorable in them. He looks like that little boy from the movie Stuart Little for those of you who have seen that, he is also in Jerry MaGuire(sp). <br />
As for Ryan and I we are doing good. We have run a few races this summer. We ran the Wasatch Back relay together in June. That was fun! Our team finished in 27 hours and 30 min. I think. It was fun running that with Ryan. In a week from this Saturday we are running another relay the Temple to Temple relay in Idaho. It runs from the Rexburg Temple to the Idaho Falls Temple. We are doing a two man team. I will be running 17 miles and Ryan will be doing 19. We will see how it goes, I am a little nervous, I haven't run that far before but ready or not it is coming!<br />
The summer has also consisted of trips to Bear Lake, camping, going to the park, finishing the sprinkler system, hydroseeding, planting a garden, getting air conditioning, visiting family, and lots of time outside! It has been fun, I am not sure if I am ready for it to end. But I am excited for fall. I think that fall is my favorite season, I don't like that winter comes after it though!<br />
Anyways now for the pictures, mind you these pictures are from a long time ago, and I don't have any pictures of summer activities because I thought that our camera was broken but I'm crazy it just needed the right batteries! Yeah smart one on my part! Now I will be taking pictures like CRAZY! And maybe just maybe be better at posting pics because that is the best part about blogging!<br />

</div>That is a quick update of us! I don't think I should promise to keep it update better because that will mean I will wait another seven months to update things. So I will try to keep things up to date better and we will see how that goes! Hopefully people still check up on us and haven't forgotten us! We are still here and doing well!Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00282307278681362155noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901986968078110228.post-36168681702017019582011-02-28T19:18:00.000-08:002011-02-28T19:18:55.669-08:00Update!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivH4R7LXYZl5mIBFPOg35hjD6nPCzlXEivEF-lXYWgGYt9a3SS3QaWjfzcHFiRqvwfmyv6Vo8pmxXkcSJ5UTKHUyy1UVIMivG4TbinowjX8bcz5I1lMkcb21gRFtDlhKFPUSUTQN3jLNPu/s1600/100_1714.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivH4R7LXYZl5mIBFPOg35hjD6nPCzlXEivEF-lXYWgGYt9a3SS3QaWjfzcHFiRqvwfmyv6Vo8pmxXkcSJ5UTKHUyy1UVIMivG4TbinowjX8bcz5I1lMkcb21gRFtDlhKFPUSUTQN3jLNPu/s320/100_1714.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2m_OkcyDGl4oxb8mbR58Lkm9UEiS3eLoiNYxZK8LzKJ_LYlVqUCRI_2m8u3icBw1paJFxbzrxAEl4CguWiuMau1Z8lWQD00oGKHJXEiDIZal857_EwyAvoiDBOiJnOFARcUfkQIIYOOWl/s1600/100_1703.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2m_OkcyDGl4oxb8mbR58Lkm9UEiS3eLoiNYxZK8LzKJ_LYlVqUCRI_2m8u3icBw1paJFxbzrxAEl4CguWiuMau1Z8lWQD00oGKHJXEiDIZal857_EwyAvoiDBOiJnOFARcUfkQIIYOOWl/s320/100_1703.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> We had a huge snowstorm this last weekend and this is all the snow that Ryan and I had to shovel and it was taller than me so Ry had to take over because I couldn't throw the snow any higher!<br />

I want to do better and I always say that but I honestly do. I want to remember everything that I can and blogging helps me so this next post is a little bit of a journal entry so I am sorry that it will be a long post but this is mostly for myself so that I can remember the things that my little boy does now.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ethan's birthday is in two weeks. He will be two on March 13 and I can hardly believe it. He is growing so fast and honestly I don't want him too. I have enjoyed this stage so much and I love him so much. He has changed my life in so many ways and I am thankful for that. I never knew the love that a parent can have for a child but Ethan has brought so many wonderful things out of me. I am still working on my patience but he is good with that because if I start to raise my voice at him he will look at me and say stop mommy! And that just melts my heart. He has a very tender heart and I am thankful that he teaches me how to be tender. I also love how is very aware of peoples feelings. If he can see that I am sad or hurt he will immediately come to me and give me a great big hug and kiss and I instantly feel better. He is so wonderful! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">His favorite words that he loves to say are Mommy, Daddy, ball, dance, hoop, football, movie, blue (for Blues Clues), thank you, please, papa, mee mee, book, Jesus book, all the animal names, he loves singing songs, and there are more I can't think of everything now. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">He loves to dance, sing, his favorite songs are head shoulders knees and toes, snowman, wheels on the bus, popcorn popping, and a duck song that I sing to him. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">He loves to read books. It is fun because we are trying to do better with family scripture study and he will grab his little scripture book that we got for him and sit there while Ryan and I read and just flip the pages looking at the pictures of Jesus and he will always point to him and say mommy Jesus. I love hearing him say those things and that he can point out Jesus. It just shows me how pure and innocent their little hearts are. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There are many other things that Ethan does that I will have to post in another post because this will be a novel if I keep going and going. There is one thing that I do want to write about is how Ethan loves working out with me. Whenever I do push ups he will be right there beside me doing them with me. And whenever I go running on the treadmill he will come down there and point at the treadmill and say mommy run. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It is so fun to see him starting to imitate everything that we say and he does repeat everything that we say so I do have to be very careful to what I am saying. I can't believe how fast children learn. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One night I was feeding him some spaghetti and I kept spilling it and I finally said Oh my gosh! Ethan looked up at me and repeated it. I started laughing because he sounded so cute saying it, and of course since I laughed he thought oh this makes mommy laugh so he kept saying it. I finally had to put a stop to it. But he did sound pretty cute. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The other things that he says that are pretty funny is when he will toot, he will smile and say poop! It is pretty funny and anytime he hears someone toot he will laugh and say Daddy poop! Or whoever does it. Probably too much information but it is funny and these are things that I want to remember about my little guy!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">His favorite foods are spaghetti, lasagna, mac and cheese, string cheese, fruit snacks, anything that has sugar, crackers, cookies, PIZZA (his favorite), grapes, oatmeal, toast, apple juice, milk, corn dogs, bananas, apples, carrots, marshmallows, anything chocolate he is like his mommy! He is a picky eater! But if he is eating something he really likes he will eat a lot of it and just scarf it down!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I love being a mommy and I know that Ryan loves being a Daddy! Being a parent is scary and hard but it is so rewarding at the same time. Whenever you have that little one smile up at you and say mommy you know how wonderful being a parent is. I love Ethan more and more each day. He is the best thing that has happened in our lives! What a blessing it is to have him in our home. I am grateful that he has come to us. These last two years have been full of so much, tiredness, frustrations, happiness, love, tender moments, that I wouldn't take them back for anything. I can't wait to keep seeing him grow and see what he is going to become and the amazing things that he will do in his life.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Things are going good for us. We are experiencing trials but I am glad that we have the Saviour and the church in our lives. I know that we would be lost without those things. No matter how hard life can be you have to strive to live your life so that you can have the blessings of the spirit in your home. It makes all the difference!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As for a little update on Ryan and me we are doing the same old same old. Ryan is still working in the evenings. Which is hard but I am not the only wife that doesn't have a husband home that much! So I really can't complain. He hurt his back in October when we were running and he keeps re-injuring it so right now it is bothering him hopefully we can get it figured out because he hasn't been able to do much exercising which I know is bothering him because he is such an active guy. He has been doing basketball a couple mornings but he has to be really careful. I am grateful that I have a very patient and loving husband. I'm not that easy to live with!:) </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As far as I go I haven't has much change in my life. I am still working only a couple hours a day which is just fine for me. I enjoy being a stay at home mom! It is hard and can be really challenging but I don't want to be anywhere else than in the home with my little boy! I am still planning on running a half marathon again this summer. My training is lacking a little bit the most I have run in one run is 7 miles. I need to do better. It is just hard because I hate running in the cold so I have just been on the treadmill which is boring! Hopefully soon I can go outside and run! I love my calling in Young Women. The youth are amazing and I am so grateful to see how strong they are in the church it gives me so much comfort to see that! And my little beehives love Ethan. It is nice because I have free babysitters all of the time. They are wonderful young women!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">That is a little update on us it is a little bit long but I want to remember things for me! </span>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00282307278681362155noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901986968078110228.post-4283678412219028452010-12-06T20:30:00.000-08:002010-12-06T20:30:17.240-08:00Thanksgiving!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaZwlDbPCD_5NXbp-kIvONYlC3SIi6mBTgUIQosQjCdj_omAAXL01lwp7SATbLYW4rbZJAu1cGe3ZHOMIu4hfntJM8JIzVnNRE8_x-FCCaiz4YXqLnVZRkViIb6DCnMrwgGXBjTG2FQaIz/s1600/100_1680.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaZwlDbPCD_5NXbp-kIvONYlC3SIi6mBTgUIQosQjCdj_omAAXL01lwp7SATbLYW4rbZJAu1cGe3ZHOMIu4hfntJM8JIzVnNRE8_x-FCCaiz4YXqLnVZRkViIb6DCnMrwgGXBjTG2FQaIz/s320/100_1680.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> We had Thanksgiving at my parents new house in Idaho.

They were watching Carz. That is Ethan's favorite movie. It was just so cute that these three were sitting there watching it with Aunt Amy.

It is hilarious to watch him though. I just don't know why he thinks it is ok to take his pants off. I always tell him no don't do that but he just looks at me and laughs when he does it. Crazy boy.

We are alive and doing well! <br />
These are a few pics from our Halloween adventure. I can't believe how fast this year has gone. I can't believe how halloween just crept up on us. I didn't even have a chance to think about what we should do for halloween. My dear sweet friends here let me borrow some costumes for Ethan because I didn't even have one ready for him the week of Halloween. What a horrible mother I am!!! Ryan and I didn't even dress up and i really wanted to dress up this year. I hope next year I can be more on top of it and get costumes together for us. We first tried to put him in the frog costume and He didn't really like it so I managed to get the lion costume on him and he looked adorable in it. Then I thought that if i had really thought about it I could have dressed up as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and ryan could have been the tin man. Because Ethan was definitely the cowardly lion. He got pretty scraed at one house when we went trick or treating. it was pretty funny!! Luckily my sister in law caught it on tape. If I could figure out how to put it on the blog I would but still haven't quite figured out everything with the blog. <br />
Anyways, we are doing good. And honestly I hope my life can calm down a little bit so i can take more time for things that I want to do like updating this blog more often. Ethan is doing well he is getting so big. I can't believe how fast kids grow. It is sad to me. I cleaned out all of his baby clothes I couldn't believe how small he was when he was born. He was tiny!!!! <br />
He is starting to say more and more things and I love listneing to him talk to me. Even though I can't understand him he is telling me something interesting. He has the best personality. He is laid back and very easy going. he doesn't mind doing anything. As long as he is with mommy! He is a big mommy's boy and I don't mind because I know that this won't last forever so i will enjoy as long as it lasts. I can't imagine life without this little boy. It is busy but I enjoy every minute that I get with him. He makes me laugh every single day. Just the other day I was not very patient and Ethan just came up to me and smiled at me and gave me a huge hug!! it just melted my heart. he knows just what to do for me. I love him so much. <br />
He started nursery in September and he is doing ok but like I said he is a momma's boy so leaving me is hard to do for him but he settles down after a little bit. It is nice though because now i can listen in Sunday school and not have to be fighting a little boy all of the time. <br />
I am doing good. I started my afterschool job which isn't bad because it is only 2 hours a day and I get to bring Ethan with me which he loves to be around the kids and play in the gym with them. I feel like life is just busy and busy. I can't believe how fast time flies. It is already the holiday season which is my favorite time of year. And for people who know me they know that I am a Christmas freak. I am already starting to do crafts with Ethan for Christmas decorations. I love this time of year and I love to decorate my house for the holidays. I just wish I had so much money to spend it on decorations. Maybe someday. I am still running and doing that crazy Insanity program. I love it though if anyone is considering doing they should because it is awesome. it kicks butt but you feel great after doing it. <br />
Ryan is doing good. He started a new job and is still doing insurance so he is staying busy. it is hard because we don't get to see each other that much but I just have to realize that hopefully life won't be crazy forever! He threw out his back about a month ago and he is still trying to recover from it. We were running and it just gave out on him I felt bad because he pretty much couldn't do anything for about 5 days. <br />
That is what has been happening with us and I konw that I have been saying this but I hope that i can keep this updated more and more so that I don't have to do marathon posts.

Kohls is great they have the best sales and I love going there. We got more for him but he just didn't want me to be dressing him up and taking pictures today so maybe I can try again another day. I need to get professional pictures of him so that we can hang them on our wall. He is almost 18 months and we don't have any pictures of hiim on the wall. That is horrible.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyways to catch up on things:</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>ETHAN: </strong>He is getting so big! I actually love this stage because he is starting to talk more and understand things. We weighed him the other day and he weighed 25.6 pounds. We didn't measure him though we go to the dr. next month so we will find out then. But he is getting so big. It is getting hard for me to haul him around the place. He knows where his nose, ears, mouth, eyes and spikey hair are. He also knows what his hands and feet are. He will point to them when you ask them. He loves reading books with mommy and daddy. He is starting to get more and more independent he always wants to feed himself. I try to let him but he just makes such a big mess, but that is ok. His favorite movies are Meet the Robinsons and Cars. he will sometimes sit through the whole movie. But that is very rare. He loves wrestling with his daddy and playing hide and seek. If he could he would live outside. We dont' have a yard yet so he will go out there and sit down and throw the rocks around. He usually screams when we have to bring him in. He sleeps great at night we put him to bed at 8 and he usually wakes up at 7:45. he only takes one nap a day and it ranges from 2 to 3 hours. He is just so much fun I love him so much!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>RYAN: </strong>He is still working for AFLAC. It is a little stressful but I am hoping if he sticks with it that will turn out amazing in a year or so. We will just have to see. He is looking for another job to work part time until AFLAC can fully support us. He is a great daddy to Ethan, whenever Ethan hears the garage door open he runs to the door to wait for his daddy to come in. Ryan is in the Sunday School Presidency he is going to be teaching a temple prep class starting this Sunday. He will do great.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>ASHLEY: </strong>I have been lucky to be able to be at home with Ethan this whole summer! It has been nice it is a lot of work and sometimes really hard but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I like being a little homemaker. it is fun for me to be able to have time to cook new things and try to keep the house clean which is hard when you have a one year old running all over the place. I have been training for the half marathon but I wasn't able to get into it this year which was a bummer. But there are other ones I am going to do! I just got put into the Young Womens Presidency as teh 2nd counselor and I love this calling. I couldn't have asked for a better calling and it came at the right time. I love the girls in there they are all so great. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I loved doing it. I had never done it before but once you get to the top the view is amazing. You can tell that Ethan loved the sucker that Grandma had given him.

The reason we did this is because my in laws gave us a challenge to read the Book of Mormon by June and have daily prayer and scripture study and by the end of the challenge we would get a reward. I am so glad that they gave us this challenge I know that it has really helped my little family do better we are definitely not perfect but I can tell when we are doing the right things that everything seems to run smoother even if you are going through trials. </div><div align="center">After we hiked we went to the Hoogle Zoo. It was so much fun to take Ethan there. The animal that I could tell the he was the most interested in was the elephant and her baby. The baby was so cute. I think that was my favorite animal too. We also road the little train ride that they offer and Ethan loved that as well. He didn't want to get off of it when it was over. His eyes were so wide watching everything iy was so cute!</div><div align="center">We have been very busy this past month but it has all been worth it!

This will be the third year that we have done it as a family. For those of you who don't know about this race it is a 40 mile relay race where 8 people run it and they each run 5 miles. Every year we have done it we have improved our times and I think we will improve this year too. Everyone has been training really hard for it so I am anxious to see how we do. The first year we did it we got third place in the coed division. It was awesome. </div><div align="center">I am going to run the 1 leg which is the second easiest leg but I am too nervous to run any other leg. I ran it last year as well and I am hoping to take at least 5 minutes off I hope I do. I have been training hard and I hope that it pays off. </div><div align="center">I will try and remember my camera this year so I can get some good pictures and post them!

I love my familly they are so much fun. It is also fun for me to see the boy that Ethan is becoming. He is growing so fast. I can't believe how fast he grows. He is such a momma's boy and I don't really mind that. He likes for me to hold him whenever we are around a group of people or if we are just away from home. He loves his home. <br />
For the past week he has been sick which is sad for me and hard for me to watch. I thought that he was finally getting over it but today while I was feeding him his oatmeal he threw up again!! AAAHHHH!! It is so frustrating especially since he has been doing that for a week straight. I know where he got it from and it is maddening to me because they came to my house and didn't tell me that her child was sick until they had been there for an hour and finally said yeah she has been throwing up! I was so mad and I got even more mad when Tuesday night he started throwing up all night long! I called her a few times to let her know I was mad. I don't think I was in in the wrong that was very irresponsible of her to bring her sick girl to our house! Sorry I just had to vent! What does everyone else think? The other thing is that now my poor little nephews got it and they were all throwing up on Sunday night all through the night. <br />
I am done with that now I just feel horrible for my little man! I just want him to start acting his happy self again so that he doesn't feel miserable!Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00282307278681362155noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901986968078110228.post-58786720249096980552010-05-24T10:14:00.000-07:002010-05-24T10:14:22.820-07:00OHIO TRIP!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTq6MjE-eK9UB2i5HNtIOsnXI0uR2PeEjcQcDkJuGjTdAGMjsX4wulG-vov_qvPudrUTGSw1VBRlanMzB8MM7KCxBAzgw-fDo4ZG_9iOd8-LaN_evyn9eU3x3rhffuJ07qmMj_aksXO9TM/s1600/100_1437.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTq6MjE-eK9UB2i5HNtIOsnXI0uR2PeEjcQcDkJuGjTdAGMjsX4wulG-vov_qvPudrUTGSw1VBRlanMzB8MM7KCxBAzgw-fDo4ZG_9iOd8-LaN_evyn9eU3x3rhffuJ07qmMj_aksXO9TM/s320/100_1437.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We stopped at Niagra Falls on our way to New York.

Ethan was asleep when he left I felt bad that I couldn't give him a huge hug and kiss before we left. But it was probably better that he was asleep.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ryan and I went to Ohio this past week because Ry's brother Shane graduated from Dental School!! It was so much fun. Ethan stayed in Boise with my sister Kristy and I was so thankful that she was willing to watch him! It was extremely hard for me to leave him but he did awesome! I know that today he is wondering where his cousin Carson is and Sadie! He is probably bored with just mom here. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We had so much fun on this trip. I loved spending time with my family. We arrived in Ohio on Saturday May 15 and Shane's graduation was on Sunday. I loved going to his graduation. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then on Monday we went to New York. It was a 5 hour drive to get to where we were staying. We stayed in the same house we stayed at two years ago. The Seneca Lake house. It was beautiful. We did all of the church sites and I loved being refreshed again on everything that happened there. My favorite part was probably the Sacred Grove. The spirit that is felt there is wonderful. Ry and I just walked around and sat down and just pondered everything that happened there. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We stayed in New York until Thursday and headed back to Cleveland. The next few days we just relaxed and enjoyed each others company. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am so glad that we were able to do this trip. Thank you so much Shane and Ash for your hospitality. I can't wait to see you guys again in just a couple of weeks. We had so much fun laughing, going on runs, and just hanging out. I can't wait to get together again and just laugh and laugh some more.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am glad to be home and be with my baby boy again. I missed him so much. But this trip was a very needed trip and I am glad it came when it did. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love my family and everything that they do for us!! Love you guys!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This little boy is much fun. He is a lot of work and into everything now but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I can't believe how rewarding and exhausting being a mom can be. I know that Mother's Day was on Sunday but I just wanted to say that I am so grateful for my Mom. She is the most amazing woman in the world. I am so lucky that I have her as an example to me as the mom that I want to be. I hope that I can be like my Mom! I love you Mom! Thank you for all the hard work you did for me. You are the greatest!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Also I am so happy that I have such a wonderful husband and son. They are so good to me.

Komen Race for the Cure there were 16,000 people running in it. Ryan was so nice to push Ethan for me so that I could try and run fast. But it was impossible at the beginning because of how many people were running in it. I had to walk like the first 4 min. But I was able to finish it in 24 min.

I have just barely started doing it and I love the product. I did my first party at my mother-in-laws house and it went pretty well. I would love to do more parties with some of my friends. I don't mind traveling. <br />
Contact me if you are at all interested in having a food storage party! I know it sounds funny that is what I thought when I went to my first party but after I tried the product I realized this is something that everyone should try. It is easy and affordable to do it. <br />
I can do a party on the weekend or on a week night just tell me what you would like to do and I can do it. Plus it is a great way to get together with my friends!!!! <br />
Let me know if anyone is interested leave me a comment and I can get with you about setting up a party!!Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00282307278681362155noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901986968078110228.post-39082537359015651632010-05-05T16:33:00.000-07:002010-05-05T16:33:40.646-07:00WE ARE HERE!!!!So I don't know if anyone still looks at our blog anymore since it has been months since my last post but we are still alive and doing great!<br />
Just a little update on our little guy! He is walking now and getting into everything! I love seeing him grow up though and all the cute little things that he does! He is such a joy in out lives and Ryan and I couldn't be happier. He has the sweetest little personality. He loves his mommy so much. Every morning I am able to go in there and pick him up and just snuggle him for a little bit and I love that time I get to share with him. He is starting to say a few words. He says momma, dadda, light, hi, and Daizy. He learned Daizy because my brother and sister-in-laws dog is named Daizy and so we said it over and over to him whenver we saw her so now every time he sees a dog he calls them daizy! It is precious. He loves to turn the lights on and off and point up at them and say light! His voice is so cute, I just love my little man so much!<br />
As for me I am able to stay at home with Ethan now! I quit my full time job at the school in December and I have been working there only two hours a day and I get to bring Ethan with me. It has been great. I love being home with Ethan! I have just barely started doing Shelf Reliance, which is a food storage company and if anyone would like me to come and do a party at their house I would love to do it. The product is amazing! I will post more information on it. I am also training again to do the Rexburg half Marathon! I want to run it better than I ran it the first time I did it. Hopefully I can do better. I am also going to do The Top of Utah Half Marathon in August. I have been wanting to do it for two years now and every year I can't. The first year I was pregnant and last year I had just had surgery! This year nothing should hold me back knock on wood!<br />
Ryan is still working at the fence company. He will actually be quitting there next Friday and he will be selling Aflac insurance. he is thrilled to be done working outside. I don't know how he did it for so long. I hate the cold and I hate being outside when it is extremely hot, but he works in all sorts of crazy weather, but he will be done soon. He will still be installing fences but on his own time. So if there is anyone who needs a fence put in Ry can help you out. Ryan is trying to decide if he wants to do the Wasatch Back run in June. Which is a 188 mile run from Logan to Park City, I did it last year and it was quite the experience. I think Ry would enjoy it it is just crazy that you run all through the night. <br />
We are loving being in our house. We still have to work on the yard which is not going to be so much fun. We have so many rocks that everytime I look out there I think geez who is going to rake all of those up! I wish we could pay someone to do it but it will be good to get out there and work on it ourselves. I am just not looking forward to putting in a sprinkler system, we will see how that one goes. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I hope people haven't forgotten about us. We didn't have internet available to us for a long time. We have it now and I am so glad to be able to communicate again! I am going to try and keep this up to date better! That is my goal now to do better at my blogging skills so I can keep in touch with everyone I love!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These are just some fun pictures of Ethan! He is so much fun. I love spending time with this little guy. Those top pictures are of him trying a little piece of cheese. It slipped out and landed right on his lower lip and chin. It stayed there long enough for me to get a picture of it. The bottom two are of our fun adventure of moving into our new house. I still need to take pictures of the house! One day I will get to it I hope. <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ethan is still getting faster and faster with crawling. He loves it when we chase him around the house. It is so cute, he squeals so loud when he sees us coming closer to him. I just can't imagine life without this little boy. He always keeps us entertained every single day! We love you so much Ethan!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Look at how much this little boy has grown. While we were packing I went through all of Ethan's clothes to pack away the ones that didn't fit him any more and I came across this cute little coat. Poor guy has to go through the torture of his mother dressing him in his little clothes. He looked hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing and he was just staring at me wondering what is wrong with my mommy!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Just as a little update on this cutie pie, he is 9 months old and is weighing in at 20 lbs. I'm not sure how long he is but he is already to long for some of his 9 month pants. He is going to be tall, like his Daddy! He loves to be with his Mommy and loves to cuddle me when he is sleepy. He has started crawling all over the place which is fun for us to watch him explore his world! He pulls himself up so that he can stand next to the couches or tables. He sleeps great through the night (only if he is in his own crib, not a great traveler!) We are just so grateful to have this wonderful little boy in our lives. We love him so much and couldn't have asked for a better little boy! <br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are a few pictures of the actual Thanksgiving Day Feast. It was so yummy! We enjoyed every minute of it. All of the wonderful food, yummy pies, I couldn't have asked for a better Thanksgiving Feast! Ethan was a bit of a grumpy boy during our stay there so it was hard to capture some smiles on camera. It turned out that while we were there he got a double ear infection and he is starting to get his two bottom teeth. Pain all around. But we definitely ate all the food we could! I loved it!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We went to Ohio for Thanksgiving this year to spend it with my brother and sister-in-law. We had such a great time. The first two nights we spent it in a cabin that was amazing. I loved the hot tub. I know that I will have to have one of those some day! It was so relaxing to put the kids in bed and just go sit out there and enjoy our time together. I loved where it was located out in the middle of nowhere away from life. After that we went back to Shane and Ashlee's house and enjoyed the rest of our vacaction there. I love that we were able to go out there and start our own traditions. I would love to spend every Thanksgiving with those guys we had such a great time. Thank you so much Shane and Ash we loved it there. Can't wait to see you guys soon! By the way for some reason the family pictures we took at the cabin came out blurry. I have more of your family but I don't know why they are blurry. <br />

I want to get rid of the dot background that is around my posts. Can anyone help me out so that the cute backgrounds can be seen instead of this annoying dots around my posts? I hope I am making sense and someone can help me out here. I look at everyone's blogs and they don't have the different background under their posts and I want mine to look like that. I am getting frustrated because it isn't working and I don't know what to do!! Please someone HELP!!!Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00282307278681362155noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901986968078110228.post-86018347382075395882009-11-05T07:23:00.000-08:002009-11-05T07:27:42.792-08:00GOING PRIVATE!!!??So the other day I was ready through the November Ensign and I read an article on blogging and it made me a little nervous. I don't know who is reading my blog so I am thinking about going private. It makes me nervous to think who could get on and read about out lives. Leave me a comment if you want to get invited because I am ready to go private so people I don't know can't look at my sweet little family. I will probably go private in the next couple of weeks so let me know your email addresses so I can invite my family and friends to view my blog not weirdos!!! <br />Maybe I am overreacting but who knows what can happen and I want to protect my family!!!<br />By the way the article was only a page long but it gave great advice on blogging. It didn't say it was bad but that you should just be careful what you write about and to never give addresses of where you live so I just want to go private after reading that!Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00282307278681362155noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901986968078110228.post-16653651573205440172009-10-30T11:24:00.001-07:002009-10-30T11:40:51.779-07:00BIG NEWS!!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBCTKBg-82BP-5Dc8Ac2l_8nbxp6UBlGVWwuTH7weaDGwxOmEnJSCufy7nZ_y1noIk-lAf6mqbhGMY47iMeAHlkSz7vY2kmlbkT4mreh5-uutS_HqGXCSLKNqJmCWLpcj4GdL0cdAWmgr9/s1600-h/House+055.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBCTKBg-82BP-5Dc8Ac2l_8nbxp6UBlGVWwuTH7weaDGwxOmEnJSCufy7nZ_y1noIk-lAf6mqbhGMY47iMeAHlkSz7vY2kmlbkT4mreh5-uutS_HqGXCSLKNqJmCWLpcj4GdL0cdAWmgr9/s320/House+055.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398461087298206402" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6sU0SLMzGBXJyzslOZCnBuaQo_DvkiCHXqqUpbKyw6D3EktmG_tpTzaKVwhnrDrSlXZZfzKRZUqq7QcjHhCy8912Y67VuY8Fe-rq5WfJ-qpPSDpZl14zctk3l_hFGlfB9oa3XfbZvGnZH/s1600-h/House+056.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6sU0SLMzGBXJyzslOZCnBuaQo_DvkiCHXqqUpbKyw6D3EktmG_tpTzaKVwhnrDrSlXZZfzKRZUqq7QcjHhCy8912Y67VuY8Fe-rq5WfJ-qpPSDpZl14zctk3l_hFGlfB9oa3XfbZvGnZH/s320/House+056.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398461005669487186" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg88CI1wZqDsNxbMqa3Vp1rL6rf_Q2Z5DuZwZ6cPP9Eh1YVG0_XvfnEwiemhYGGNtK-uQMNEAqP1cw7MkZYF7PxK5L8VgRdUlwtXlbBlOqe4cXIXfqupjbBM3m210s9hD-HZe6iXXWY78Af/s1600-h/House+053.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg88CI1wZqDsNxbMqa3Vp1rL6rf_Q2Z5DuZwZ6cPP9Eh1YVG0_XvfnEwiemhYGGNtK-uQMNEAqP1cw7MkZYF7PxK5L8VgRdUlwtXlbBlOqe4cXIXfqupjbBM3m210s9hD-HZe6iXXWY78Af/s320/House+053.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398460868257976866" border="0" /></a>We ARE BUYING A HOUSE!! We are right in the middle of buying this house out in Hyrum! We are so excited! We need to go and get pictures of the inside of it! We love this house. It will be complete next week! I can't believe it, It now has a garage now and brown shutters and the ground now has top soil on it. We can't wait to move in! That middle picture is of the view that we have out our front windows. We are right by the elementary school and the high school. We can see the elementary school out our bedroom window and the high school out the front windows. It is a fun and stressful time buying a house but we can't wait!Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00282307278681362155noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901986968078110228.post-72951819201413706902009-10-26T07:47:00.001-07:002009-10-26T07:52:30.614-07:00FUN POST!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR2WmkRz4s3se-n9qxHtP66SiWaVoEXqHBYKhdAL2F7bng1pTwH-ljo-0Q7GE3xEh60xrrkHWzHVN5N95IDcJFsE90xbIt9ZpTJQgWjndq6qfEAlnXooeWHPrEp0F6ot1GgZDdkplfgDzo/s1600-h/House+061.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR2WmkRz4s3se-n9qxHtP66SiWaVoEXqHBYKhdAL2F7bng1pTwH-ljo-0Q7GE3xEh60xrrkHWzHVN5N95IDcJFsE90xbIt9ZpTJQgWjndq6qfEAlnXooeWHPrEp0F6ot1GgZDdkplfgDzo/s320/House+061.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396920847514761746" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqxX2S2Um5g0DVEi039IIQIMmL8aNSAqeHn55xu6BU6RYM3MEcA91b64yXZqVQKa4EeSMGCQKg0ns7xhK4n2UH6qJOJOt6tn73KF6SKly5Eh-VE_Fxz9ix88PPGEMnpn53mUwv4R6FHChi/s1600-h/House+060.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqxX2S2Um5g0DVEi039IIQIMmL8aNSAqeHn55xu6BU6RYM3MEcA91b64yXZqVQKa4EeSMGCQKg0ns7xhK4n2UH6qJOJOt6tn73KF6SKly5Eh-VE_Fxz9ix88PPGEMnpn53mUwv4R6FHChi/s320/House+060.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396920757863053378" border="0" /></a>You can see how big it is on him still.

It is huge on him and he looks so darn cute in it. He hardly fits in his car seat with it. We went to the pumpkin walk here in Logan Saturday night and we bundled him up in this coat. He was so funny. He couldn't put his arms done it was so big. (Like on the movie "Christmas Story") When we got home he had fallen asleep in his car seat and he just looked cute, what more can I say!Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00282307278681362155noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901986968078110228.post-13014157856151002792009-10-26T07:40:00.000-07:002009-10-26T07:46:49.284-07:00RED RIBBON RUN<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiip_Mm3eT-VzIED3yyOFJTowKJ4qZtWC3fmQaMqSByXIxr5XlBqTXphz0KV7Vv-NcF98lQAONdYHZBNhCT7yZUD_9j_I_oWYgp8dl-jDMouG5jgAZb4Wg2PKvMxhSRE9a8ZlhrdhWd-mS0/s1600-h/House+052.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiip_Mm3eT-VzIED3yyOFJTowKJ4qZtWC3fmQaMqSByXIxr5XlBqTXphz0KV7Vv-NcF98lQAONdYHZBNhCT7yZUD_9j_I_oWYgp8dl-jDMouG5jgAZb4Wg2PKvMxhSRE9a8ZlhrdhWd-mS0/s320/House+052.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396919317243978866" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_sBoAelZw8fUOd-CLjOgcdrYXIp9TS_oKkPKu-AMbyiT6BiqtwTX_k0_fVtBYe3g-bjsuGLAKlw2wOdzYZdubol44NvQ2t2LJ9b4h9zci5Elh-7xQgeWFgYnZek6_n3fkkd0MpUxLzCH5/s1600-h/House+050.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_sBoAelZw8fUOd-CLjOgcdrYXIp9TS_oKkPKu-AMbyiT6BiqtwTX_k0_fVtBYe3g-bjsuGLAKlw2wOdzYZdubol44NvQ2t2LJ9b4h9zci5Elh-7xQgeWFgYnZek6_n3fkkd0MpUxLzCH5/s320/House+050.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396919209655811858" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfenQ3ubQuTGBYVWRkgZcgrh7DGHLAmUorKydBlFUAoK9knj6nd1lkywIicruWtWnip_JCcioCAWtbRuU5RLP3l7MVl355jIJCpa3e_Nv6n74PorN5xP6IE23n1U-TahK0U643178rg5rl/s1600-h/House+049.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfenQ3ubQuTGBYVWRkgZcgrh7DGHLAmUorKydBlFUAoK9knj6nd1lkywIicruWtWnip_JCcioCAWtbRuU5RLP3l7MVl355jIJCpa3e_Nv6n74PorN5xP6IE23n1U-TahK0U643178rg5rl/s320/House+049.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396919087080817650" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBJSVmkc6Mny0sE44uBovJT-kCq5oSaA7ISezhyktDI0QazWMO0DHS6WBg0zDCHgC074_6UD-eUy9cUURZPqSAPMtTQwbCKalZynq-nO72b4uAcmxnaXwTmUxiwePDS-kO98pTIBv3VdGi/s1600-h/House+046.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBJSVmkc6Mny0sE44uBovJT-kCq5oSaA7ISezhyktDI0QazWMO0DHS6WBg0zDCHgC074_6UD-eUy9cUURZPqSAPMtTQwbCKalZynq-nO72b4uAcmxnaXwTmUxiwePDS-kO98pTIBv3VdGi/s320/House+046.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396918992106845330" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-QGBbX1gXRCuJLaDqyQRxWN6INXOeOxmOkd_X4jddyRzlfURm0OO4TDlX-M3R23KRwgxBr1v00vbdVlO1YHra8VtfV1Vh5olOrAXKMJxcw7XbO2nczL4-_AXg-KzVTDbmM91bs3fsaD12/s1600-h/House+044.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-QGBbX1gXRCuJLaDqyQRxWN6INXOeOxmOkd_X4jddyRzlfURm0OO4TDlX-M3R23KRwgxBr1v00vbdVlO1YHra8VtfV1Vh5olOrAXKMJxcw7XbO2nczL4-_AXg-KzVTDbmM91bs3fsaD12/s320/House+044.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396918845093935762" border="0" /></a>A few weekends ago we did a 5k run. It is one of my favorite runs. I think this is my fourth year doing it. It was awesome. Ryan ran it in 19 min. and he was even pushing Ethan. It was hilarious to seem him sprint out there pushing a stroller. He even got third place overall. He is an amazing runner. Me on the other hand. I can tell that I need to train again to get in better shape with running. I am trying. The Jenks Fam was there to run it we all had strollers. It was fun to line the front of the race at the beginning with our strollers. There were friends from work who were there to run it with their kids as well. It is just a fun race and I look forward to doing it every year. It is always cold though when we run it. But we have a great time.Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00282307278681362155noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901986968078110228.post-32202183185467881802009-10-26T07:30:00.000-07:002009-10-26T07:39:58.096-07:00Camping<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiChBoFoRxgnb88-5fWbr5kNOL9oDKsHnw9m2aQpl4RvI0J5sxfUimboEHVNQSfqM2wrr9FAFxeRljHA64SKQdgdy7bloO9_j9j4wv8qVLexqLOx3NRfVEH1YeXkqC48hlvhZB8vQHypACu/s1600-h/House+016.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiChBoFoRxgnb88-5fWbr5kNOL9oDKsHnw9m2aQpl4RvI0J5sxfUimboEHVNQSfqM2wrr9FAFxeRljHA64SKQdgdy7bloO9_j9j4wv8qVLexqLOx3NRfVEH1YeXkqC48hlvhZB8vQHypACu/s320/House+016.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396917131160041794" border="0" /></a>We went camping awhile ago up to Willow Flatts and we put this cute hat on Ethan he was loving it.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2_a2LLoVTo7pirGxk3m-dGSELdksgoVEQ4Rr8Vuj0F0__02BnGdPxkW6FzDm_lgYBTa_lpVeFN-vnP7aISb1s8zu3_t7vOgIVpj_zn3awv8eGQK59yjOp6nuoIDmrQmskVKklfmo7ROdT/s1600-h/House+010.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2_a2LLoVTo7pirGxk3m-dGSELdksgoVEQ4Rr8Vuj0F0__02BnGdPxkW6FzDm_lgYBTa_lpVeFN-vnP7aISb1s8zu3_t7vOgIVpj_zn3awv8eGQK59yjOp6nuoIDmrQmskVKklfmo7ROdT/s320/House+010.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396916983553944818" border="0" /></a>I love this picture of his cute smile.

It was fun though I have to admit.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdEcK1XT6lZ49nXxv38jEMnUHa_rUewDQy7cisCO8mgQJ4Y-nYo7uDjBf6UACL2CnCnRAPrrVW7wwKTYdAQthU1B25e629jQ6zf9waZp8bIh_Dg_hCXT9dNtBQbB_RH4ONs1e5BHy5gVHR/s1600-h/House+004.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdEcK1XT6lZ49nXxv38jEMnUHa_rUewDQy7cisCO8mgQJ4Y-nYo7uDjBf6UACL2CnCnRAPrrVW7wwKTYdAQthU1B25e629jQ6zf9waZp8bIh_Dg_hCXT9dNtBQbB_RH4ONs1e5BHy5gVHR/s320/House+004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396916606430280930" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpiITTOAMx0-d6hbsfUaV0bGLhSly0xKGB3oeaNUNF2Tkk4LpqpI_NCGdoy22pXgQ-Q3B93e8gIxXbnw1b9XEoCFM1ur_XmB8IyrzJ4WNfFYLdZStksr8hHQF0A9NukWY2Cl-kcuBBmObo/s1600-h/House+003.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpiITTOAMx0-d6hbsfUaV0bGLhSly0xKGB3oeaNUNF2Tkk4LpqpI_NCGdoy22pXgQ-Q3B93e8gIxXbnw1b9XEoCFM1ur_XmB8IyrzJ4WNfFYLdZStksr8hHQF0A9NukWY2Cl-kcuBBmObo/s320/House+003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396916529587567442" border="0" /></a>So I noticed that I was posting a lot about the hard things going on in our life right now but there are wonderful things that outweigh the hard times of being a parent. For example the cute smiles that Ethan gives us or just the times when I can snuggle my boy and he stares up at me and I can tell that he loves me. <br />I love being a mom. No one can even prepare you for how rewarding being a parent can be until you experience it for yourself. Ethan is such a great joy to have in our family. I feel so blessed that he has come to us!Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00282307278681362155noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901986968078110228.post-85528658855634369622009-10-20T07:12:00.000-07:002009-10-20T07:19:32.717-07:00Again Sleep Issues!!I just really wish that babies could be born with the ability to always sleep through the night. Ryan is out of town again and last night was the worst night I think that Ethan has ever had. I maybe got an hour of sleep. I don't know what to do! I feel like a horrible mother because I have no patience in the night hours. And it is so hard when he just won't stop crying. What am I suppose to do? I don't know what is wrong with him. I thought maybe he was teething but I tried everything the Oragel, Tylenol, Motrin, and those teething tablets. Nothing was working. He would only sleep if I was holding him or laying next to him in my bed. I am so tired today. I really don't know if I can handle another night like last night. Should I take him to the doctor again. He does have a runny nose and he started coughing last night too. I tried to just let him cry himself to sleep last night but that was way to hard on me. Whenever I would walk in there while he was crying he would just look at me with the most sad eyes and wonder why I wasn't in there comforting him. I really need help and some more great advice!Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00282307278681362155noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901986968078110228.post-24648175244553673372009-09-29T06:48:00.000-07:002009-09-29T06:55:53.505-07:00RELIEF!!I really appreciate all of the wonderful advice that everyone has given me to help Ethan sleep again through the night.<br />We ended up going to the doctor yesterday because he just wasn't acting himself. I am so glad we did because we found out that he has a very sore throat. He saw the white pockets even. I felt so bad. Now I know why my poor baby hasn't been acting himself. The doctor said that nighttime is rough when you have a sore throat because you are all alone and your throat gets dry so that is why nighttime has been so rough for him. I just feel horrible for the little guy. Sometimes I wish that they could just tell us what is hurting. <br />But now we can give him Motrin and Tylenol and those worked miracles! I am so glad that he finally got the rest he needed and we needed as well. He was even still asleep when I left for work this morning. I feel great that he is getting some relief from the pain. Thank goodness for Pediatricians! (Maybe that's what Ryan should go to school for!:)<br />Anyways, thanks again for everything you guys said. And Em I really need to read that book I have heard wonderful things about it. Also I think he might be teething too because he does have a lot of those symptoms that you talked about Ash! Poor little man, going through so much and he can't even tell his mommy what is up! <br />Oh the joys of guessing what to do!! Thanks everybody!Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00282307278681362155noreply@blogger.com3
