Ashelyn Graduated Preschool 6/2/2011


Ashelyn Graduated Preschool!  For graduation the preschoolers got to have their faces painted like Dinosaurs (which was a hit for the kids.  Ash loved it!). Ashelyn absolutely loved going to preschool, but every day was a lot for her sometimes.  Her teacher described Ashelyn as: a girl who shared, cared, and worked.  She knows everything (plus some) to enter Kindergarten.  Ashelyn loved playing house, playing with her friends, singing and dancing (not a surprise!), and recess.  She made friends with everyone in the class.  Her teacher said she was the caring and sweet friend in the class, a mother to all!


Ashelyn does love to take care of her two younger brothers, read to them, and play any PS3 games her older brother plays (I didn't say she doesn't get frustrated at the games sometimes!).  She also loves to sing, play computer games, and give kisses to anyone who wants one.  Lately she has loved coloring, reading books, and only wearing outfits that sparkle.

She is our sweet little girl!

Ashelyn's preschool made treats for their moms and invited them to a Mother's Day Celebration.  So cute!

Rollups

These "roll up pancakes", or as most of the world knows them as crepes, are going to be our new breakfast diet. . . . .
Or atleast that is what Ashelyn is claiming! She begs for these every morning.
I get to them once a week during the school year, but now that school is "oh so soon going to be out (yikes)" I have plenty of eggs and flour on hand.

Easter

Along with having lots of family in town, and blessing Coleston, we also celebrated Easter!


We got to decorate Easter Bunny bags
enjoy some gifts from the Easter Bunny

and eat lots of candy!

We dedorated Easter eggs,

hid them,

and found and ate them!

Plus we got to talk about Jesus Christ and how we celebrate his Resurrection!


Happy Easter!

Coleston's Blessing Day 4/24/11

This little guy had a big day on Sunday!


Here he is in his white tux made by Gma Mitchell
Laying by his cake designed by daddy (it was supposed to have baby booties and such!)
that Gma Young got for him.
Coleston was the first one to try a handful :)

This is the first real picture I have been in with my handsome new love!

Quin's parents were able to be here with us on this special day.


My family here with us on this special day


We were so blessed to have my family and Quin's parents here to celebrate suh a wonderful day with us! We have been so blessed to belong to the Church of Jeses Christ of Latter Day Saints that believes in families being together forever. I have felt the spirit in so many ways this weekend, having family, celebrating Easter, and watching Coleston be blessed by his father has confirmed to me that I am the luckiest mommy and wife and sister and daughter . . . because Heavenly Father and Jesus love me (and my family) so much.


Tears fall as I think . . . "Oh what a HAPPY day!"
