American Girl

AAAAHHHHHH! These pictures are out of order. Oh, well. Anyway, Ash has been asking and asking since August, I think, for an American Girl doll. She would go to the web-site and look and look. So, we surprised her with her very own "Just Like You" from the American Girl collection. She was so excited. I don't think she has put her down since she got her. Ashlynn even wanted to take her to school. She has named the doll "Ashlynn" since it does look like her. She now wants everything for the doll. Oh my, what have I started. So, we have had a little talk and we said that it would be a reward system and for her to save her money and then she can buy what she wants. We will seeeeee....

Ben and Ash checking out the new doll. Ben was very curious about it.

She was so excited!

Look what I got!

Having Fun!!!

More pics.
These are some favorites to. We all went fishing at the pond behind our house. At first I was kind-of nervous because of the BIG horses and my children being so small but they did fine. It was so amazing to see these huge horses next to my 1 year old and he didn't even care. He just giggled and thought they were funny. Ashlynn, of course, just loved it. Loving horses the way she does she wanted to ride them.

This is the mommy horse, the one with the white on her head, coming to check Ben out. I don't know her name. I just call her mommy horse because she is always pregnant.



Mommy horse checking Ben out even more!!


Austin is holding the fish on the line so the kids can get a good look. Ben didn't like the feel to much!
One of the Belgians watching Ben throw rocks into "his" pond!

I was just going through some of my pictures and found a few I just love. Where does time go???

Austin took Ashlynn to the park when I was in the hospital having Ben and snapped this pic. Isn't she beautiful??

One of the few times Ashlynn wanted to hold Benjamin. She is still making him cry.HEHE!

This pic was taken not to long after we moved to WV. It was taken at a park in PA called "Ohio Pyle".

The water rapids at "Ohio Pyle". Alot of people go white water rafting.

I love this one. Ben had just eaten his cereal before going to bed. Do you think he's going to pop??

Mr. Timeout!

My hero!
We came home Saturday evening and I went to shut the garage door, when I saw a Humming Bird fluttering around. Who knows how long he was stuck in the garage but he was exhausted. I called Austin and he came and picked it up. The poor little thing had cob-webs all around his feet and beck and was panting so hard he just laid in Austin's hand. His little feet were so small Austin was afraid he would pull them off while trying to clean off the webs. In the mean time we got to look at the littlest most beautiful bird up close. Austin got him free and he flew off. What a great guy!! They are so pretty. I have had a Humming Bird feeder for a couple of years but this year they are everywhere.
