My New Favorite Games!! ;)

So this is a different post for me, but I had to share a NEW addiction I have!! Ha!! I have some new apps on my phone and little did I know when I discovered these that my 7 year old had it downloaded on Mom's I pad, and my sister was already a fan! Thought I was finding something new! ha!! So if you LOVE APPS try out this one! Oh my goodness it's sooooo addicting!! Here is my restaurant below! You design your restaurant, pick out and cook food, and it's sooo fun!!! The food cooks in REAL TIME TOO! So french toast is done in a minute but stew can take 2 days while Lobster is 16 hours! I know it sounds dumb when you are reading about it, but for some reason I AM HOOKED!! ha! I even fell for The Bakery Story! All FREE APPS I should mention!! Oh and Caleb already had this one too!! Are you kidding me!! Kids these days!! He was teaching me stuff!! ha!Another new favorite that I first talked about with my sister but just started playing is this:

It's scrabble on your phone! Only the computer tells you if the word is good, and figures out the points!! So it's all fun and no extra boring work! ha!! You can play with people you know too!! That is AWESOME!!!!! I play against Tasha, and we even have Daniel hooked!! There is no time limit either. You can play back and forth and some games take several days, because you just get to it when you can!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!! If you play PLEASE tell me!!!! I want to beat, I mean play you!!! ha!!

Happy GAMING Everyone!!

Blessings & Love, Ashley

Milestones Of A 16 Month Old Princess!!

My sweet baby girl!! I can't believe another month has passed!! 16 months old and hitting new milestones everyday!! The biggest one this month is that you are WALKING!! YAY!! :) It's so cute in your little squeaky shoes to hear you stomping!! You are constantly active! Go, go, go!! You can open and shut all of the doors, love to open the cabinets which is bringing about some "baby proofing" and baby gates now!! But purses are still your favorite thing to rummage through! ha! At church you have lots of sweet friends, including baby Grace!!

You go back in the infant nursery every Sunday now with Miss Kaylani! (and on Wednesday night's too) That was HARD for me but I know you are in good hands and are growing up! You're starting to become more aware of "strangers" and are attached to Daddy & Mommy! "Nanny" Ninna too :) You do not like it when we leave! :) You LOVE the bath and I think you could stay there ALL day!! Your NEW favorite thing to do is SPLASH and then crack up laughing!! It's sooo cute!! Even if I am soaking wet! ha! You also love it when we pour water out of the bath toy cups! You also love to bounce the ball!! It's seriously your favorite thing to play with right now! Balls you can throw, toss, & roll!! :) And once again I have to stress how much you love your bubba and how much he cracks you up!! So sweet!! Oh and we can't forget your Auntie and Uncle!! You love it when they come in to visit!! ;) (This picture was just taken of you guys! ) You still take at least one 2 to 3 hour nap a day, and as long as you have a bottle, paci, blankie and a fan going...you're set! :) Yes we all sleep with the "fan" noise!! ha! Even my kids now!

Some thing else about you is that you are such a LIGHT sleeper! Everything wakes you up! Caleb on the other hand will sleep even while I vacuum his room! No lie!! ha!

So you see why it's so amazing to me how different you both are when it comes to SLEEP! :)We are trying to do away with the bottle and so far you're doing great! You drink out of a sippie cup all day!! :) Such a big girl! (right now the bottle is just for nap time and bedtime)

Bottom line is my love, you are growing up way too fast!!! :)

I love you Chloe!! (and "bubba" Caleb!! )

Blessings & Love, Ashley

Have a Happy Day! Blessings & Love, Ashley

GOLF & GAMES! A FUN FAMILY WEEKEND!

Saturday morning the boys hit the golf course!! :) Daniel has been waiting for the day to take Caleb golfing since before he could talk! ha!! Caleb and the "real" golf clubs he got for Christmas!! Ready to be put to use!! :)

At the golf course!

Let's hit some balls!!

I told Daniel it looked like Caleb was beating up the balls!! ha!! Get em' Tiger!! ha!

But it didn't take long for Caleb to catch on!! Guess he had a good teacher! :)

After some fun at the driving range it was time to head inside for some FOOD!! HOT DOGS!! Daniel says "golf course" hot dogs are the BEST!! Guess he was right!! :)

Then it was time to check out the course! :) Caleb walked through the sand, so Daddy made him rake it!! :) Oops!! :) ha! ( I learned this was a no no! HA! )

But Caleb didn't mind, he wanted to rake it!! In fact if I was a betting woman I would say he would do it again just so he could rake the sand! ha!!

He even found a GOLF BALL!! This kid is the king of treasure hunts! ha!

Here's Daddy having the time of his life!! This man has a love for the greens!!

Caleb did a great job taking this picture huh!! Go BUDDY! :)

That afternoon it was time for Praise & Worship Practice at church!! :)

That's Ray on the drums, and my Mom on the piano! :) She is the P&W leader! :)

That's me and Mona (Ray's wife) in Red!! :) They are sooooo sweet!! Love them!!!

Singing for Jesus!! :)

Then it was time to head to the back for our church FAMILY GAME NIGHT!! :)

Here's Mommy & Caleb

And Daddy & Chloe! :)There was soooo much food! Oh and it was SOOOO good!!! :)There were also lots of fun games and lots of Fellowship with friends and family!! :)

Caleb & Kiki playing Uno!!

Aunt Cap & Debra were on the other side of the table playing to win, I mean for FUN! ha!

But Caleb ended up beating everyone!! ha!! GO CALEB!!

We had fun playing Aggravation!! :)Which I WON BY THE WAY!! :) Go me, Go me!! ha!!! Sweet Chloe watching the fun!! Cheering Momma, Daddy & Caleb on!!

Chloe's friend Grace was having fun too!!! Isn't she cute!! We were playing with her parents and two other sweet teen girls in our church!

After that things went to the PIT! ha!! It's a game that turned "vicious and competitive " haha! Well at least it did for some! ha!!

Haha!! Lets just say if you look hard you can see Cindy's Brutal battle wound! ha!! Ok so it's just a little scratch, but you just had to be there, to appreciate the humor of fake nails and a game that requires tossing and grabbing of cards!! ha!!

Good news is I think she will live! ha! :)

At the end of the day we are just a group that LOVES the Lord and LOVES to have fun!! :)Oh but it doesn't hurt to WIN TOO! ha!!!

Yes that's Cindy and I posing with the games we won!! Go us, Go us!! ha!! Can't wait to do it all again at the next FAMILY FUN NIGHT!!! Blessings & Love, Ashley
