One year older and wiser too, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to YOU

Ashlyn turned 3 on the 19th! I can't believe how fast time has gone. She is the most fun, loving, happy, outgoing, crazy, wild, keep up with the boys, girl I have ever met. She keeps me on my toes and never fails to make me smile. I am honored to be your mommy, and love that you get to call me that. I am so blessed to have you in my life. These 3 years have been a roller coaster of fun adventures. I love you baby girl.Lets "saddle up" for the next year :)

Ashlyn quotes: "Sorry Sweetheart" "The pink sparkly princess dog wants a treat" "Yous ok?" "Last one ok? Last one" "I'm getting SERIOUS" "You makin me nervous mom" "watch I can do, watch I can do, watch I can do....."

Summer Highlights

So 2 kids weren't enough for us, we decided to get a dog. His name is Duke, Devin really wanted one, so I told him he had to feed, water, and pick up the poop. He agreed. Needless to say he has grown on me, and he is more my dog than his,but he still has to pick up the poop :)I think this is the begining of a long friendship, Ashlyn did throw him down the window well his first day home. Poor thing was shaking like crazy and it took me a good 20 min to get him to stop. Now that he is bigger he gets his revenge.

JADA'S BLESSING My sweet little love had her big day and did great

Devin celebrated the big 2

Kyler returned home from serving in West Virginia

My Big Bro finally tied the knot!!!!!!

And during all this we had our 4yr wedding anniversary on May 30th, we keep telling oursleves we will celebrate it later. But really I'm just planning a good 5 yr one cause I know it won't happen. RANDOM I told Ashlyn she had to get dressed before she went outside to play, this is what she came up with...

Catch up!

For Easter we headed out to the duns for the annual Jones camp out. We alwasy have so much fun. There was 5 new babies this year, so I wasn't a loner in the trailer. We tested our camper out for the first time and it was awesome! I love it even more. Its perfect for us, and it was so nice to have our own space. Ashlyn was in sand heavan, by the end of the weekend she looked like a walking zombie. She played so hard and had a blast, as soon as we loaded in the truck, we werent 10ft from the camp when she passed out! And my pretty baby girls in their easter dresses.

ST. PATRICKS DAY This is way over due, but for St. Patricks Day a little lepricon was sneaking around our house... we weren't able to catch him, but he left us some clues to his hidden pot of treasures (candy is defidently worth more to Ashlyn than gold). And I made this little basket for Devin, and a little lepricon left him 3 wishes too wink wink :) Got the idea from datingdivas.com it's a great place if your wanting to spice up the love life.

One Month old!

My little Jada Jones

I will never be able to explain the feeling I got when they put you in my arms for the very first time, your warm little body and sweet soft cry. I knew I had witnessed another miracle when you entered the world Feb. 9th 2012 and now my life will never be the same. There is nothing stronger than the love I have for you. I love you Jada!

Coming home

The Final COUNT DOWN!!!!

I feel like so much has changed in the last couple months! For starters, and the most exciting news, is my little sweetheart is POTTY TRAINED!!!!!!! I started the week before christmas, which was a crazy time, but she has done awesome, we still have a few random accidents, but she has done great, and not having to by diapers for the last 2 months has been lovley. We also had the big change from the crib to a big girl bed, that on the other hand has not been so fun. Ashlyn is very very active and if you let her loose she will go without looking back. So the fact that she can get out of bed is really exciting to her, not so much for Devin and I... So we have some long nights, and our nap schedule is all thrown off, which gets me nervous with baby #2 due any time now. So if anyone has some helpful advice I would love to hear ;)But we are all getting so excited for the new addition in our life, I know it will bring about a whole new world of changes, but thats what makes life fun.And I get to have my mom stay with me for a whole week :) Last week I was almost at a 3 so hopefully I will keep progressing, but doubt she will come early... My due date is the 11th but I'm keeping my fingers crossed! We have been trying to spend time with Ashlyn and take her out before we start hibernation, so here are a few pics of things we have been up to!
