Jump & Go

Dallin loves to move around and it makes it hard for me to hold him sometimes. So last night when we were at Michael's and Chelsea's house for dinner she let me borrow this jump and go. Thank you Chelsea! Here is a little video of his first time in it. Our kids are cursed with the short gene so at first he had fun until he hit his mouth on the front of it. Sorry Dallin:(

Dallin in his pink chair!

We bought this pink bumbo chair when Maggie was born and I'm cheap so I didn't want to go out and get another one! I think Dallin is adorable in it anyway! This was his first time in it and he loved it. I put it up on the counter because I needed some free hands so I could make the girls sandwiches and I thought Dallin would like to watch me and, so oila, he did like it! Oh and sorry about the messy kitchen.

He's actually smiling in spite of the color of the chair, or so says Abram.

He is such a handsome little boy even when he is sticking his tongue out!!! And don't you just love how his blue eyes match his jacket perfectly?
My little boy is growing up way too fast for me already:( I love the baby stage so much.

6 Year Anniversary!

Happy 6 Year Anniversary to us! can't believe all that has happened in this amount of time. It seems to be such a long time but I know that 6 years isn't really that long! I'm so happy to be married to my wonderful husband! He is such a wonderful person and he really does make me happy! We have of course had our hard times together but in the end those hard time have only made us stronger, helped us grow together, and love one another even more!

Hear are some pictures from our dating years til today!

This first picture is of us on a date to a corn maze. We had been dating for about 2 1/2 months!

This next picture is of Abram being creative! He doesn't really like dolls. He thinks their eyes are creepy. So, he decided to cut out little sun glassed for all of them. It turned out really cute!

So after dating for about 4 months we knew that either we needed to get married or break up. We actually broke up (long story if you want to know the details just ask) in the morning and then that same afternoon he proposed to me at a park! This was November 20th.

Abram wanted to wait til spring break to get married but I said "No, how about the beginning of February?" So of couse Feb. 8 2003 we got married in the Mesa Temple! It was raining when we got to the temple but it was beautiful we we came out of the temple!

After about 1 1/2 years later we had our "little peanut" Amalee! This is when to me we finally felt like a real family!

We like the 2 year space so in 2006 we had "Maggie" Magdalene. Abram said another girl I want my boy. But she is exactly what I wanted!

Dallin came 2 years later! But a month earlier then we wanted:( You see we wanted them to be 2 years apart but we also wanted our birthdays to go like this: Abram: July 14, Ashley: Aug 8, Amalee: Sept 10, Maggie: Oct. 5. So Dallin was sopost to be in Nov. But I counted wrong:( He is Oct 14!

We are so happy with our family and for our 6 wonderful years of marriage! Happy to be sealed in the temple.
