Golfing with Weston!!

We had a blast when Weston came, we went golfing one day and it was so hot, but it was fun!

Weston had never golfed before but he was actually really good! Nice practice swing dude!!


oh yeah, look at that nice form! haha!


Good shot Chad! Chad wants me to make sure and say that he won! He had some tuff competition too!-)

Happy Birthday Madi!!

Madi turned seven years old last week! She wanted to have a princess party with some of her friends. So we went bowling! It was way fun, then we came home and had cake and opened presents!

She did pretty good, especially with the bumpers up!


Presents! Oh Yeah!

Happy Birthday Chad!

Chad's birthday was Monday. He just got a new calling at church and now he works with the scouts. And it just so happened that the scouts had a hike and camp out on his b-day! so we didn't even get to celebrate until the day after. He was a good sport and actually had a good time hiking and fishing! We just did cake and ice cream, and opened presents. It was fun!


Chocolate cake!! Beautifully decorated, ha ha!



Chad really wanted an ipod touch for his b-day! I think he knew that he was getting one, which was a bummer because i like to try and surprise him, but he is good at figuring it out! Happy birthday Chad!!!

Wisdom Teeth!!

Yea! it is finally over! I got my wisdom teeth out last week. I was so nervous, but they really needed to come out, because they were tying to grow in, and they really hurt. So Chad helped me, and we got an appointment with a Dr in Tucson. I thought it would take a month or so to get scheduled, but I only had to wait a few days. I was trying to act really brave when they were getting me ready, but I think I might have lost it a little after they started giving me the anesthesia, because when it was all over they told Chad that I did really well but that I was really really nervous, and I don't remember even acting that nervous! It definatly helped me to have more sympathy for patients at work. I don't like how groggy and out of it the anesthesia made me feel. But I am glad it is over and that the swelling finally went down! I also wanted to tell my hubby thanks for taking such good care of me! I luv ya babe!


Me with my Ice Packs on. They were my best friends for a few days, well them and my pain meds, he he!


This is a few days later, all swollen. I look horrible but I wanted to post one picture of my chipmunk cheecks and this was the best looking one.



I took this with my camera, while I was staying home, being bored, eating soup and waiting for the swelling to go down, ha ha! Its random but i thought it was pretty.

A Fun Weekend!

We got to go to St. David a few weeks ago. It was fun we got to see Vanessa, (cuz she was down from Idaho) and we went to Natalie and Westons play. This is a pic of them in character. It was a fun weekend!



Natalie is a superstar pitcher, and we got to watch her softball game! You rock Nat!

Happy Mother's Day!

Mother, I love you;
mother, I do.
Father in Heaven has sent me to you.
When I am near you,
I love to hear you
Singing so softly that you love me too.
Mother, I love you; I love you, I do


Ashley and Mom
My mother has always been more to me than just my mom, she is my teacher, my shoulder to cry on, and she is my friend. She often helps me put things into perspective, and helps me to laugh at myself when I feel like crying. She is always there to give me encouragement and courage. I will be forever grateful for her sweet kindness and love. I love you Momma!



Chad and Mom
I am also so grateful for Chad's sweet mother. I never got a chance to meet her in this life but I feel close to her somehow. I am grateful for the wonderful man that she raised, and for her love.

Chad and I are also so grateful for our "otha Mothas". There are so many good women in our lives, grandmas, step moms, aunts, and sisters. We love you all! Thanks for all you do. Happy Mother's Day!

A Rain drop!

Madi is in the first grade. At school they have been learning about nature. So all the first grade classes put on a little singing program about the things that they had learned. Madi was a rain drop, and got to do a rain drop dance. She helped me make her little costume, and did a very good job dancing and singing. She loves school, her teacher and her friends. (She even had the stomach flu this day but went to school anyway because she didn't want to miss out! you can tell she looks kinda pale in the pictures! It is funny to me how kids can feel so crappy but still want to run and play!)

Madi with her friend. A rain drop and a cloud, so cute!
