Michael

Michael is doing good. He is scouting all over the place, and is very eager to start walking. He will pull to a stand and then will let go and try to go, but falls down. He has four teeth and loves to eat food. He also loves animals. He will try and grab at Papa and shorty's chickens and loves to be with Rudy. I am excited to see him with the new puppies.

Ashlynn

Ashlynn is getting so big. It is hard to believe that she is turning three soon. She is a big talker (can't get her to stop). She loves to read and loves to be outside. She loves to go to papa and shorty's house and see the chickens and play in the playhouse. Ashlynn also loves to play with Michael. Another fun thing that she has been doing is pretending that we are other people. Some days I am one of my sisters Jenna or Monica and she likes to pretend that she is her cousins and Michael is her cousin too (her favorite is to be Katie and Cassidy at the same time and Gus is Rory). It is pretty funny. She loves to have friends over and to go to the park and play with friends, she is a social bug. She makes friends everywhere she goes. Ashlynn also loves to go fishing with Bryan, they both have a lot of fun.

Finally an update!

Well we have been very busy lately. We finished are office, bathroom is almost done and soon we will be putting in a deck and balcony outside and a playfort for ashlynn.

Christmas

At the zoo. It was really cold that day. They didn't have much to see, but Ashlynn said she only wanted to see deer, elk, and moose.

Halloween

Michael Augustus

So, I am finally putting up pictures of Gus. We still haven't gotten are camara back yet they are waiting on a part so hopefully we get it back soon. I would like to take videos and things. Michael weighed 7 lbs 10z and was 21in long. He has his two month check up next week, so we will see how big he has gotten. Ashlynn is doing okay with the change, we had some problems with her going to bed at night, but she is doing better now. Other then that nothing new.

Hike

Bryan was able to go on a hike with the young men in our ward for a couple of days. They are hiking 50 miles and I think Bryan hiked 35 miles of it. I will probably post more pictures later. Bryan took a lot of pictures. We also got a new video camera that you can video underwater so I will try and post one of the videos bryan took underwater. He didn't get to much because the water was so cold.

I think this is a golden trout. I am not exactly sure but it is a golden something. I guess you can only catch those if you are at a high altitude. I don't remember how high bryan said you have to be to catch one. Maybe I can get him to post more about the hike.

This is a picture of Rob and one of the boys hiking up the mountain trail. I guess there was some rough parts that they had to hike through.

I will try and post more pictures later today. I also have a doctors appointment today, so I will give an update with how the baby is doing.
