Silent Sunday!!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for................

ICE CREAM!

Such a proud momma

Last night from 8-10:30 Ashley had her first cheer tryouts. After I picked her up I got the full scoop on what they did. They did conditioning, jumps, stunts, tumbling and dancing. She said they would be making cuts last night by number. By the time we got home though it was so late so I looked this morning to see if she made it past the first rounds, SHE DID!!!! I am so proud! She said she was so nervous because the coaches told her she was too short to be a back spot, which is the position she has been doing for the past year on her school team. The next try outs are Sunday when they will make even more cuts. I hope she gets through, she is so good at cheerleading. Ashley also got offered a babysitting job on Mondays. She is watching 3 kids from 9 am to 3 pm. Not a bad gig for a 14 yr old. She enjoys it and the kids are super good so that is a big plus.
While Ashley was trying out I figure since I would be in town there would be no reason to go home so I went to the grocery store, picked up some pictures I printed and sat in the parking lots reading a new book I picked up "Three Cups of Tea" all by myself. It was pretty nice and quiet.

Silent Sunday!!

Top selling car

We recently acquired 2 of the top selling cars of 2008. It's not what you think, don't worry we didn't go out and purchase any big ticket automobile. Let me rewind to Saturday when we had our neighborhood bbq. When we got there the street was blocked off and there were toys, face painting (courtesy of Ashley and her friend Randy) and all kinds of kids activities. Preston immediately went to the red and yellow cozy coupe. There was no way that any other kid was going to have a chance to ride in the cozy coupe, Preston was not giving it up. Aaron and I decided to go out on Sunday to buy both him and Lily one. They really don't have many outdoor toys and the weather is finally warm enough to go outside.

Bubble time

Lily was the hit of the party. She got pushed in the car, had a few cookies, and got carried around, all by people other than myself or Aaron.

P J Day!

Around here when it's rainy, foggy and not a day we want go outside we have a PJ day. It is now 3:00 and we are all still in our PJ's. Well except for Ashley she just got off the couch to take a shower. She is out of school until Thurs which is her last day. We have been reading books, doing puzzles and even found a bug. Here are a few pictures from our PJ day.

Silent Sunday!!

Water play

After nap today we went outside for some popsicles and water play.

3 posts in one day.......... must mean the babies are playing quietly in their playroom.

Cute outfits!

When our visitors came they came with gifts......... clothes from the U. S. Missy made the babies these cute outfits on her embroider machine. She felt really bad that she spelled Lily's name wrong but we don't care. We love it. I am thinking I will be needing one of those machines in the future. I am imagining lots of cute monogramming in my future.

Lily's dress has lad bugs and flowers on the letters.

Blackberry Jam

I recently made a comment on Robyn's blog that we love blackberry jam. She made some home made and promised if it was good she would send me some. Well she did and it was wonderful. In fact we are down to the last of it in the jar. We ate it on waffles, toast and bagels. Aaron's family also tried some while they were visiting and Robyn you get a big thumbs up.

Sorry it took so long. Everytime I eat it I think hmmmm I need to blog about this. Actually I need to blog about alot of things but the days just aren't long enough.
