Almost Time!!!

I really didn't realize that it has been so long since I blogged! I also didn't realize that I haven't taken any pictures the last few weeks, until I went to put some new ones on here. My new job is just taking over my life. I am putting in about 60 hours a week. To say my job is very stressful is an understatement. I just can't find the time to do much of anything anymore.

There is a lot of excitement around our house as we get ready for our BIG Disney World trip! Exactly one week from now we will be there! My entire family is beyond excited. We have been talking to Ashlyn a lot about the trip. I think that she has some kind of idea. We have also been doing a countdown and she gets a huge smile when I tell her we are counting down to see Mickey and Ariel. This week will fly by with trip preparations and work. (I don't even want to go into what it entails for me to be gone for 5 days from my job!)

I know Ashlyn will have the time of her life! She gets excited when airplanes fly over our house. She always says "hairpane". She said she is excited to fly on one. She has flown before, but she doesn't remember. This time she will have her own seat. She will ride in her car seat. I hope that this reminds her of being in the car and that she sits still. We are also bringing the portable DVD player and "The Little Mermaid", so that will keep her occupied for sure!

Ashlyn continues to talk up a storm. When I picked her up the other day from daycare, her teacher also mentioned how much she is talking. She amazes me everyday with the new stuff she says. Last night, Alli was trying to get comfortable on the couch. Ashlyn said "Alli lay down." (Alli did) "Good girl Alli". It was too cute! She now will say "what?" when you call her name. It is a little thing but it is just another way she is growing up!

I can't believe she will be two in a little over a month. I am already planning her birthday party. She is going to have a family party this year and then a party with friends. I bet you can't guess what the theme of her party will be?

I better make this a short post. I am trying to take advantage of every second of this weekend and get down a thousand things I have to do before we leave next Saturday. I plan on taking at least 1,000 pictures while we are there. I also am going to take down trip notes. I want to make some good blog posts and I also want to make a short book about our Disney trip. So, be prepared for the next post to be FULL of pictures. I hope it doesn't take me too long to get them up!

Below, are the very few pictures I have taken over the last few weeks. I need to get better!

Here is the countdown calendar that Ashlyn and I made together. I was marking off the days at first, but then I realized that Ahslyn loves doing it. She did sneak in a couple of extra days here and there, so it is hard to see that we have 7 days left.

Here is our little Broncos fan. She is carrying Alli's favorite ball.

Alli and Ashlyn playing at the huge park behind Ashlyn's Uncle's house.

This is my new favorite picture of Ashlyn. She just looks too precious!!!

This was Ashlyn after she ate something really, really messy. I honestly can't even remember what it was. I just love that mischievous grin she has.
