I think I can...

SHOP AGAIN!!

Grocery shopping has been nothing short of an obstacle, until I decided to finally try out one of those obnoxiously oversized carts that always seem to be in your way...you know, the ones with the "car" in front for your kid(s) to sit in and play as if they are actually the one controlling the cart. Ashley LOVED it and it definitely made getting everything on my grocery list a little easier. We also picked up a few things not on the list, because (to my surprise) Ashley threw a few things in the cart from the bottom shelves. She must have thought I did not see them way down there...and we needed them...like a handful of candy bars and a package of lighters!

We've only tested this once. Hopefully we will continue having success and a trip to the grocery store will be better for the both of us!! Can't beat that!

Really...(a venting post)

Poor Ashley...poor poor Ashley! This past week hasn't been the best, to say the least. Let's just start off with Sunday (AT CHURCH!). Brian and I drop Ashley off in the nursery, come back after the service to pick up our child who now has swollen eyes and disheveled hair from crying so hard! Why do you ask...she was BIT!! That's right, I said BIT! Thank goodness for the pamphlet we received, where the inside was checked with "Your Child was Bit Today" (insert sarcasm here). I don't know what I would have done if that wasn't provided to us! Really...REALLY?? Oh and just so you know, they can't tell you which child committed the crime, just that yours was on the receiving end.

Really...

this was right after we got home; the next day a lovely bruise appeared...I don't believe this was a first time offender folks!

As if that isn't bad enough...then followed the cold, acidic poop (oh yes my friends...ACIDIC POOP!) that burned and blistered her sweet little bum, the two ear infections and high fever. All by Friday! The cold has since been passed on to Brian and myself, but thank goodness I think Ashley's luck is starting to turn as she is showing improvement and has her smile back! I feel like poop, but no one has bit me...so I'm not complaining!

p.s. I promise the next post will be a positive one

Let's Go SUNS!

Ashley finally went to her first Suns game, and is already a die-hard fan! We got her all dressed up to show support for the team (her outfit was a gift when she was born...I've been waiting awhile!) and she even scored a few collectibles at the game thanks to Daddy! Brian was so excited to take her, and spoil her with all the junk food and goodies. I have a feeling it was the first of many games she will be at with him! It truly was a great family night!

Ready to go...

High Five!Couldn't take her eyes off the game...
Every time the crowd would cheer real loud, we saw this face...
She had so much fun and loves the pink Suns Ashley size ball Daddy bought her...so much so she wouldn't let it go while drinking her bottle before bed!
As if just being there all together wasn't the best...the Suns beat the New Orleans Hornets, 120 - 106! Go SUNS!
