Just an ordinary day

Today was just an ordinary day - morning chores, bathtime, naptime, make cookies, and play all day.

Brooklyn was delighted when she was able to go play in the snow while Luke was shoveling the sidewalk. She loves being outside - even if it's below 0! By the time we went back inside, she was covered in snow from head to foot, her nose was dripping like a faucet, her lips were turning blue, she could barely move her legs and she still cried when we made her come inside!!

Material Girl

Brooklyn found my lipstick in the diaper bag and knew exactly what to do with it. She loves playing with my makeup and knows exactly what each thing is used for! We are in for some very long pre-teen years with this one!!

Rexburg Temple Open House

We were able to attend the Rexburg Temple open house recently and we were amazed at how beautiful it is. There was such a wonderful spirit in the temple, and we know that it will bless this city tremendously. Brooklyn also loved the temple, especially the Celestial Room, in which she could not stop staring at the amazing chandelier. Afterward, we were able to take some pictures outside, and Brooklyn had a chance to play in the snow. She loves sticking her face down in it, and running as fast as she can on the icy sidewalks. As much as she loves, Aubrey hates it! We both were so miserable we could barely stand it!

On my first day of school this semester, I came home to this. Luke had given Brooklyn a fruit icecream dessert, and failed to realize that that could create a small problem. This is why dads shouldn't be moms.

Brooklyn and Aubrey got to meet Santa at the bank this year, and suprisingly, they both loved him! We thought Brooklyn might have a minor freak-out episode, but apparently she loves anyone who gives her candy, no matter how scary they look!

Our new baby Aubrey Lyn was born on Thursday, December 6th at 1:27 pm. She weighs 7 lbs. 11 oz. and is 19 inches long. She loves to sleep and looks exactly like her older sister Brooklyn. She is extremely cuddly and so happy - we've only heard her cry once immediately after she was born!

Brooklyn is still a little confused by the whole situation, but so far she is doing great with her and we think she will be an awesome older sister.

Little Cowgirl

Brooklyn was a cowgirl for Halloween, but she absolutely refused to leave her cowgirl hat on for more than 12 seconds, so we had to snap some really quick pictures of her while Luke kept her distracted.

The one time that we actually have some cash and Brooklyn can't keep her hands off of it!!

Brooklyn and her best friend MaKyla - they think they are sisters.

From the mouths of babes...

8/24/16: Cameron to Ashley: "Your lover is home." "Are you going to the temple with your lover?" "Where did your lover go?" (He calls Luke my lover and it kills me every time.)
8/8/16: While saying the prayer the night before school started... Brooklyn: "...And please bless mom while she's home alone... all by herself... without anyone... while all of us are gone... that she won't cry. (Oh, I think I'll be JUST FINE, thankyouverymuch.)
3/7/16: Cameron: "Mom, does Heavenly Father like us?" Ashley: "Of course! He loves us." Cameron: "THEN WHY DID HE MAKE SPIDERS!?!"
12/4: At Walmart with Bailey and Cameron, Bailey started to get a little fussy and I said, "We'd better go. She's starting to have a melt-down." Cameron asked what that meant and I said it meant she was getting fussy and wanted to leave. Then... our checkout took FOREVER, and Cameron started to get very impatient. In the middle of his mini-tantrum he wined really loudly, "Moooooom. Can we just go?!? I'm melting - I'm MELTING!!!!"
12/2: Brooklyn to Cameron: "Do the kids at school ever call you names?" Cameron: "Yea, all the time." Brooklyn: "What do they call you?" Cameron: "Cameron."
12/1: I read Cameron a bedtime story about Christmas that ended with a line that said, "And that is why the greatest gift of Christmas is the gift of love." Cameron looked at me confused and said: "What? That's not the greatest gift of Christmas. Ashley: "It's not? What's the greatest gift of Christmas?" Cameron paused for a second and thought deeply and then answered, "Guns."
9/21/2015: Brooklyn: "I don't know if I want to be a mom. It seems sooooo hard. The only good part is that you get to stay up all night."
6/5/15: After buying the kids a treat at the store for being good and not hearing a "thank you" from them, I said to them all, "I think I need to hear a magic word right now....." Cameron thought for a minute and then excitedly exclaimed, "Oh! BAZINGA!!!!"
5/15/15: Cameron to the tattooed worker installing our countertop: "Hey. All those stamps on your arms make you look like you'll go to jail."
4/7/2015: Ashley: "Cameron, come here - I want to squeeze you to pieces and eat you right up!" Cameron (sincerely alarmed): "No!!!!! You can't! - JESUS MADE ME!!!!!!"
3/24/2015: Cameron was falling asleep in the car at about 5:00. Luke said to him, " Cameron, don't fall asleep." Cameron replied, " I'm not falling asleep. I'm just taking a little break from being awake."
3/18/2015: This morning when I woke up, Cameron was standing right by my bed and he looked like he had done something very wrong. (You know - the guilt face.) I asked what happend and he said very regretfully, "Mom........ Olivia married me." And I wasn't invited!?!??!
3/11/2015: While flying in an airplane, we hit some turbulance and Cameron announced loudly and extremely calmly: "Mom. We're not going to make it. We are all just going to die."
2/1/2015: Cameron was being more grumpy than usual one morning and kind of pouting in his room. I asked him what was wrong and he said, "I just HATE being so handsome!"
