Catching up on laundry....again

So, I guess Jeff is using this as his new forum to post his sport videos. Don't you think it should be a requirement that he writes an entry each time? I do. Take our poll and let me know what you think.

Well, the kids have started school. I missed out on first day of school pics because things were so hectic but, I managed picture day pics (that works right?).

I did get Ashlyns first day of preschool picture with her teacher Mrs (Ms) Dutcher.

It has been kind of nice to just have Ashlyn and Reese during the days. I like the time we get to spend together. In a way it has made things a little more difficult because, Ashlyn thinks she never has anyone to play with. She is used to having Lexi and Max around to play with. She has decided to make do with Reese and is teaching her how to play and do all kinds of things.

Funny story about an outing I had with Ashlyn. We were at Walgreens sitting in a chair, waiting for a prescription. Ashlyn nudges me and says loudly, "Mom look at that old guy". I respond, "Shhh, that's rude to say out loud". Ashlyn then says, "You should go talk to him". I was like, "why?". She responds, "because he might be rich". I busted up and had no idea where she got that from. I know she has no clue about Anna Nicole Smith and I promise I did not mary Jeff for his money! Later, I told Jeff the story and we asked Ashlyn why she cared if he was Rich. She explained that she was wondering because, she wondered if we should buy food to give to him. I was relieved to know that she has a tender heart and not a gold digging mind!

Reese has been up to the same antics as always. Climbing into anything and everything........

eating anything and everything.....

.......and WALKING (pic to come)! Finally, 15mos and counting. Beginning to think it wouldn't happen!

One of the most exciting things happened last week! We got a grocery store that is down the street. So exciting in fact, we made opening day a family affair. The night included free water, cookies, a loaf of bread and meeting the Chiefs mascot! I know, pretty lame that we were that excited about it. Fun, fun, fun !!
