FIRST DAY OF PRESCHOOL!!!

Today was Ashlyn's FIRST DAY of PRESCHOOL!!! I can't believe that this DAY is ALREADY here!! She was so excited to wear her knew school clothes, her new hair cut, and PRINCESS pencils....She was especially excited about her DORA backpack.....At preschool they have show and tell everyday and today she took her SUU COW so she could tell her new friends all about how she goes to the games with her mommy and daddy:) I just can't BELIEVE that my BABY is growing up so fast!!

Labor Day Parade

Here are some funny pictures of Ashlyn while we were waiting patiently for the Parowan Labor Day Parade to start....I'm not biased or anything but - she is so dang CUTE!!!!

SUU Football

Ashlyn and I went to the SUU vs Dixie football game last week - It was so much fun! Ashlyn loves to watch the "dancing girls" (cheerleaders) and Thor...GO T-BIRDS!!

Fun in the Sun

Gary and I took Ashlyn down to Sand Hollow the other day – She loves to play in the water! She had so much fun filling her bucket full of sand and water and then dumping it on her legs and splashing water on her mom!

When we got home she still hadn’t had enough fun in the water so we had to put out her sprinkler that shoots balls in the air so that she could have some more fun! We let the dogs get in on this one – it was so fun to watch Sunny wait for the ball to shoot up out of the water and then chase it with Ash running behind her yelling at her to leave her ball alone with Danny and Rocky chasing after her! And then Gary would try and kick the ball out of the air while it was coming up with the water – I was so FUNNY to watch! WE HAD A BLAST!!!

4th & 24th of July Camping Trips

On the 4th & 24th of July we went camping on Kolob - It was so much fun! I just love going up there and being able to relax - And surprisingly enough Ashlyn was really well behaved! She had so much fun playing in the dirt - going to Kolob Res - and playing with Gary's dog Sunny.

Ash & Sunny
Ashlyn loved running in and out of the trailer the whole entire time we were on the mountain!

There was this great big huge tree that Gary had to cut down - In the process he cut out a chair :) I think he is going to make one for all of us! It is a wonder what people will do to keep themselves occupied!

Ashlyn & Buddy

YEEHAW!!

Practicing her Queen wave

New Job

So a lot has happened since I have been able to update this thing!

I have accepted a new position in the Financial Aid office at Southern Utah University ( I have been working at SUU in the Admissions office for the past year) and am very excited to have a new job! Ashlyn is now 3! I can't believe how quickly time flies! Hopefully now life will slow down a little bit so I will be able to keep up---HA HA
