Some Ramblings


This past week was full of a lot of randomness.  Ashlyn went on her first field trip to the Pumpkin Patch on Tuesday.  She was so excited to go.  When we picked her up, she said she had a great time.  We asked her what her favorite part was and she told us it was riding on the school bus without a car seat.  She picked out a very cute little pumpkin that she can't wait to carve this weekend with the 5 others that we have accumulated at random places.  The next evening, we went to her school's fall potluck.  The food was really good and we had a nice time.  They had games for the kids to play and different arts and crafts.  Ashlyn accumulated yet another pumpkin at the pumpkin walk.  (Yes, we will be very busy this weekend carving pumpkins!)Joey and I are so pleased with Ashlyn's school and she is so happy there. 

This weekend Ashlyn got to go to a birthday party at a bowling alley.  She had a lot of fun bowling and playing with the other kids.  Ashlyn is VERY excited for her birthday party coming up in less than 2 weeks.  She is having it at Chuck E. Cheese this year.  I am sure it will be a great time.  How can you not have fun there?  I am still very busy getting everything ready for her birthday weekend.  Yes, I said weekend.  There will be lots of celebrating and special surprises the entire weekend for our very special girl. 

Next week will be very fun filled.  We have Halloween which I am so excited to see the kids in their costumes.  Ashlyn is so excited to get to go Trick of Treating.  We will also be going to Boo at the Zoo which I know Ashlyn will just love.  Dawson has his 9 month appointment and Ashlyn has her 4 year appointment next week too.  I can't wait to see how they have grown.  Then we have birthday weekend.  We should be very busy!

I have exciting news too, I WILL be running the Las Vegas Half Marathon in December!!!  I am so excited that it was able to work out.  I can't wait to run another half marathon.  I am also beyond excited to run a race down the strip at night.  Should be a pretty phenomenal experience.  I was kind of looking forward to tapering down my miles now that my half marathon was over, but I am looking forward to the extra training.  It will be good for me. 

I will be back next week with a 9 month post about Dawson and lots and lots of Halloween pictures!


Ella got to have bath time with her cousins.  They had a blast!

Ashlyn was being very goofy and decided to put on her Daddy's clothes. 

Her ensemble was cracking me up. 

My cuteness eating.

Can never get enough of that smile.

I just want to kiss his adorable face!

Not sure why he looks so worried, but he looks so cute!



This is the only picture I got of Ashlyn before she went to the Pumpkin Patch.  I don't know why she wasn't smiling.  She was really happy.
