Ashley's Sweets

Ok, so as everybody knows, these economic times are getting the best of some of us, so I've devised a plan for myself: I'm making homemade sweets like chocolate suckers in the shapes of roses, smiley faces, hearts, etc. I'm also making delicious banana bread, cinnoman rolls, a variety of cookies, and whatever else I'm able to make. I'm creating a blog for it which should be up by the middle to the end of this week with pictures and prices. I'm having a lot of fun with this, and I'm really hoping that I can start to make a profit from it.
If you're interested, let me know, and I can send some free samples your way!

OCD: Obsessive Cullen Disorder

Tiffany called me Thursday night asking if I wanted to meet Kristen Stewart, the girl that plays Bella. Of course I said yes, and she said that she would be at the Riverton Walmart where Anthony works on Friday night for the release of Twilight. After a few more phone calls, and then talking to Anthony, it turned out that it was Rachelle Lafevre, the girl that plays Victoria instead. Which was still pretty cool. I took Kaia with me, who looked totally cute by the way, because she's the one who pretty much introduced us to Twilight. We didn't get to actually meet her, but I got a picture of her and Anthony got some posters that she signed for me and a t-shirt. It was still fun being able to see her and hanging out with Kaia.

And of course, I bought the movie that night, and I've already watched it about 3 times. Like I said, OCD.

Spring Break

McKenna and I took our Spring Break up north. It was so much fun playing with the family and seeing some of my friends! It makes me miss it up there.Kenna just waking up at Kenice's. Isaiah and Jace were in the family room playing nintendo and she wanted to join in.

Hailey is giving Kenna a ride on Avery's little ATV. All the kids loved playing on those!

Dallin, Kloey, Avery, Isaiah, Kayley and Kenna jumping on Crysta's trampoline.

I miss it up there, enough to almost move back up. Almost. But not quite.

Vegas!

A few weeks ago, Kaysha and I went down to Vegas to visit Heather and her fam. I know I'm a little late on posting this, sorry. We had a blast. Heather made lasagna, salad and french bread, which was all delicious. Then after, Kaysha and I went to the park with all the kids.
They're getting so big and beautiful!
Needless to say, we had a ton of fun. And we miss you Heather! I want to come down again, soon!!

Kenna's Prayer

Last night, Kenna wanted to say the prayer and I couldn't help but stifle my laugh! Here's what she said:
"Heavenly Father, bless Handy Manny and his tools. Bless Mommy and Spongebob. Amen."

My Cell Phone Broke

My cell broke so I had to get a new one today, which means I don't have anyone's numbers anymore. :(
If you could either text it to me, or call, that would be great!

Lunch Date

Betsy and Max came down for the weekend, and we went to Red Robin for lunch today.


Max was being so cute and smiley, I couldn't resist taking pictures of him!

Betsy is down for the marathon tomorrow morning, and then she's heading back home right after. It was fun seeing them again, and hopefully I'll be going up north and I'll see them again!

Tonsils Out = No Sleep

McKenna got her tonsils out last Friday, and she hasn't been herself at all. It seems that when the Dr. took out her tonsils, he took with him her manners. She's been ornery, tired, and her breath stinks! The Dr. said her breath (really her throat) will stink for up to a month, as well as her gas. :S He was absolutely right! She can certainly clear a room.... or stink up an entire house. Poor girl.

When the doctor took her into the room, they had to have two men bring her in because she was so strong that she was able to get out of their grasp. Then, when they were done and she finally woke up, they had to have THREE grown men bring her into the waiting room where I was to meet her. At least we know that she won't ever be kidnapped! (at least that's what the nurse said!)

So far, today, she's been good. But that's when it'll start getting worse. So, wish me luck during the next week and a half. I'll need it.

I'm feeling like I'm working on my last nerve. :(

Happy New Year!

The doh' brain that I am, I forgot to bring my camera with me last night to my parents where some of my family came down from Orem to play.
There was some really yummy food, fun games, and all the grandkids had a blast playing together. McKenna actually stayed up until midnight to scream, "happy new year"! But she fell asleep as soon as the car was in motion to go home.
We had a lot of fun, and it was a great way to end 2008.
