I wish it wouldn't end.

Cleaning Up After A One Year Old

2012-02-02T07:05:00.001-08:00

First of all. I've learned finally after four kids to give up.

Don't even try to keep little old Ashlynne clean during the meal.

Don't try to feed her. Let her help.

Don't put a bib on her. It just ends up on the floor with all of the food.

Just give in to the fact that after 90% of her meals she'll need a bath with complimentary shampoo. I've actually embraced that fact.

Be careful when taking her out of the high chair as at least 60% of her meal is in her lap, in her diaper (still haven't figured that one out), or under her bum.

Lastly, let the food (especially cake or corn) dry overnight and then vacuum it up the next morning. Definately easier than wiping it.

Too funny. Liam really wanted to help and help he did. I hope he didn't drink any accidentally since it was Miracle Grow.

Ashlynne is motivated by empty fruit snack wrappers. She just started crawling two days ago on 9/8/11.

Ashlynne ate her first 4 fish sticks! And ate some chicken noodles soup.

Liam went poop for the first time on the potty! Now we just need to teach him the art of wiping.

Liam and Mom after church. Liam loves nursery and playing with his friends. Mom's beautiful as always.

Liam ate chocolate and enjoyed it. He went from lil handsome to lil dirty all within an hour of being home. Good thing we changed him out of church clothes.

Ashlynne has wavy hair. Definitely the curliest out of all of us.

Nine Wonderful Years!

2011-08-16T22:37:00.000-07:00

I can't believe it's been nine years already married to my beautiful wife Elise Victoria. I like to say I knew from the first time we met (and kissed!) that we were right for each other and I'm pretty sure I'm right. She is the most amazing person I know. Witty, smart, and, yes, sexy. I'm lucky and I know it. Love you Elise!

I remember Aidan chowing on pizza too. Man time flies. Elise will sometimes use a knife and fork to eat pizza, but the rest of us animals!

Finger Foods.

Those bananas are too slippery for Miss Ashlynne. She starts growling at them which is pretty funny. Oh, and she gets the growling from Aidan not me.

Starting to Move Finally

2011-07-19T19:18:00.001-07:00

Ashlynne has super low muscle tone and even has her own occupational therapist so I was doubly happy when she rolled and squirmed around enough to grab a bunch a stuff from under the changing table.

Growing Up

2011-07-10T16:21:00.001-07:00

We decided that it was time for the bunk beds since we bought a new dresser for the boys. Ashlynne will.get Aidan's old one. You'd swear it was Christmas with how excited.they were for it.

It brings back memories of Eric and me sharing a bunk. We'd always lay on the bottom and then kick the top bunk. So I screwed bed board down. I'm so handy.

Real Soccer

2011-07-01T06:42:00.001-07:00

Tuesday night I brought the three older kids to a Rèal game with Granny, Kate, Pat, Sean, and Mallory. Sean was able to get us $5 tickets and they played the North Carolina Hammerheads. Rèal won
2-0! The only down side was we were on the East side so we were looking directly into the sun for about an hour. We planned ahead though and brought sunglasses and lots of candy which I hid underneath diapers in the diaperbag so as not to found by security!

The kids had a blast and were yelling "Hammerheads suck!" the whole time. Elise had to stay home to still recover from her tonsilectomy. She's healing slowly, but steadily. She's already breathing a lot better.

Eating Is Too Much Fun.

2011-06-23T15:51:00.001-07:00

Today Miss Ashlynne decided it was much more fun to spit rather than eat. I love her personalality. She loves to giggle and watch people's reactions to what she's doing. I think she'll be a little troublemaker when she's older.
