Pretty cousins on Easter Sunday.

The kids hunting eggs. Chad has never been so proud because all week long Leighton obsessed over her upcoming hunt.

Weekend Fun

We spent this past weekend in Park City and enjoyed perfect weather at the Hogle Zoo. Leighton and Kynslie got to try out their new swimsuits in the motel hot tub.Two weekends ago we went to St. George. Leighton and her cute cousin had an early Easter egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's because we won't make it down for Easter this year.

We had all of my mom's siblings and their families in town and were able to take some group pictures. This one was taken at the Pasta Factory where we had a girl's lunch to celebrate a couple of birthdays. This is my sis in law, grandma, and mom.

This is the whole group.

This picture is of Chad and Leighton going on a daddy daughter date. They went to JCW's to get shakes and then to the mall so she could play in the tree house.

Feb/March

It's been awhile since my last post. We don't have internet at home so it's a little tricky. In Feb. we went to St. George for a visit and to go to the Parade of Homes. I didn't take a whole lot of pictures but this is at Brick Oven with Grandma Anita and Aunt Candice.We attended a wedding this past Friday at the Draper Temple. This picture was taken during the luncheon at Tucano's. It was my first visit to the Tucano's at the Gateway and I thought it was WAY better than the one here in Provo.

On St. Patrick's Day we had our annual green dinner at the Ashby's house. It's a fun tradition that his mom hosts for us every year. This is a picture of Chad and Leighton picking on Mccall which is one of their favorite past times.

This is the group shot minus Jason because he had to head back to work for the night. I'm starting to look blimpish..only about a month and a half to go before this baby is here!
I think this pictures is so sweet of these two. I think he was supposed to be rocking her to bed but mostly they were just playing.
I wish she was smiling and didn't have a runny nose but she is getting so big. Her hair is even starting to fill in which is so exciting to me!
I've known these girls forever and it was fun to get together for a few hours last Saturday for a dinner that Krystal and Makayle made for us.

The BIG 2

Leighton's St. George grandma and grandpa came to visit the weekend before her birthday so we had an early celebration. They brought her a brand new princess bike from her grandma Anita and a Tangled 4 wheeler from them. We also spent some time in SLC and went to the LDS Visitors Center.
We had her birthday dinner at Chilies. They brought her a huge ice cream treat. We celebrated Leighton's 2nd birthday party with a great group of friends and family. Leighton is a pretty lucky girl to be surrounded and loved by so many wonderful people. The theme of her party was of course Cinderella. She has been so excited to wear the Cinderella dress we let her pick out at the Disney store and she looked just like the real deal.

MLK Day

Everyone was off work yesterday for Martin Luther King day except Chad so we made a family trip to Midway to see the ice castles so he could join us. We told Leighton they were Cinderella's castles and she was in Heaven.

Christmas Catch-Up

We had such an awesome Christmas holiday. Everyone from Grandmas and Grandpas to aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends made everything so special and fun...especially for Leighton. It's so fun to have her energy and excitement around this time of year. She is officially a Princess. She got so much fun dress up things, and anything and everything to do with Cinderella and the Disney Princesses. She's still in heaven with it all and wants to start playing the second she wakes up. We did an early Christmas with the Ashby family and also had a Christmas Eve breakfast with them that was so good.

Leighton is quite the jumping bean so her grandma and grandpa got her a little trampoline she can keep inside.

We spent the rest of the weekend in St. George with all of my family. Pretty much everyone was around this year so that was fun. Leighton has a cousin that is about a month older than her so they had a blast playing with each other.

This is Chad's gun safe that we are going to keep in our bedroom. Watch out intruders!

This is a picture of my family on Christmas day over at my grandmas.

Now that we're home I'm feeling an incredible urge to just clean, organize, and get prepared for this next year. We got all of our Christmas stuff down last night and we're ready to move on!

These are a couple videos that I thought were cute. Her reactions crack me up.

The Ashby name will live on...

We just found out this evening that we'll be having a baby BOY! Everything looks on track for him to join us around May 7th. Let the shopping and weight gain begin!
