Easter Dress

Grandma May got matching Easter outfits for all the grandkids, and tonight they dressed up to pose for an outdoor photo shoot (compliments of Allison). Brad took this picture of Ashlyn, and although she isn't smiling . . . I think it's pretty cute. Apparently, she didn't smile for any of the pictures. Stinker!

Bees Game

Brad's work had a party at the Bees Game (Salt Lake's minor league baseball team). We ate dinner there and then watched part of the game. Ashlyn really enjoyed playing on the seats and clapping whenever anyone else was clapping. It was the perfect night for a ball game and we had fun!

What Next?

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I mean, it's right at her level and probably pretty interesting.

So Bummed

My brother gets home from his mission to Russia in one week. We have been looking for tickets for awhile now and I think we've missed out. We are probably not going to be there when Bryon gets home or when he speaks in church and I am bummed! Here is a picture of the handsome young man before he left on his mission. I wonder what he looks like now. . .

10 Months

Ashlyn is 10 months old today! She is growing up too fast. Her most recent achievements are learning to clap, blow kisses, and say "baby." Also, we recently discovered that her top two teeth are starting to come in. What a big girl!

Swimming Lessons

Ashlyn and I are doing a mommy and me swim class. Today was her first time and these are some pictures of her before the lesson. In the first one she is smiling because she sees the camera. Then I put a hat on her and she did not like it. After that I took the hat off and put a cover up on her and that did not make her happy either. I promise I'm not a mean mom. The class went pretty well. She was pretty tentative at first, but seemed to warm up to the water. I had to hold her pretty close the whole time, but I think she'll get more and more daring as she gets used to it.

Sleeping Sitting Up

Last night, Brad and I were sitting on our bed watching TV. Ashlyn was sitting in between us. After a while, I noticed she wasn't squirming around any more, so I looked down. She had fallen asleep sitting up. So, I ran to get the camera, and we took these three shots. Bless her heart!
