Some things I Love
1. Ryan. He is handsome, smart, caring, fun, hard worrking and determined.
2. Ashby. "Hi, I'm Ashby, I'm 2 and a 1/2 and you spell my name "A-S-H-B-Y". She says stuff like that. She's witty(in her way), gives the best hugs, and loves to help.
3.Being pregnant. Especially now as our baby grows and gets bigger. I love being able to feel the kicks, turns and other acrobatics going on inside of me.
4.Great Family and Friends. Life just wouldn't be the same without them. I have been blessed with many. Thanks to each of you for accepting me and helping me.
5.The bread recipe from Pantry Secrets. Really wonderful class and you don't have to have a nice mixer to do the recipe.
6.Running(think jogging). I love the fee
ling at the end. You know, really tired but well worked.
7.Warm feet on cool grass.
8.Photography. Weather it is mine or taken by others, I love the capturing moments of God's beautiful creations.
9.Laughter. This makes me think of Pride and Prejudice and hope that I don't love to laugh "too much" as some of Mr. Bingley's party seem to think of the Bennet girls.
10.Music. Weather instrumental or voice. Weather as a participant or an observer. Music is such a powerful tool.
11.Learning. New things or old things. Gaining new understanding or refreshing and strengthening an old, growth is a wonderful feeling.
12.Parties. Just the kind that bring friends/families together.
2. Ashby. "Hi, I'm Ashby, I'm 2 and a 1/2 and you spell my name "A-S-H-B-Y". She says stuff like that. She's witty(in her way), gives the best hugs, and loves to help.

Easter Weekend at Grandparents Loveless Part 3
April 11th
My brother Jared and his fun wife Stacy also decided to spend Easter weekend at Mom and Dad's and they brought the fun. Meaning the brought a Wii and a WiiFit! Everyone took turns including Ashby.
Her favorite seems to be the free run. You run following your "trainer" and part way through have the option to chase a puppy. She really like trying to catch the cute puppies!
Also on Saturday Grandma, Ashby and I did some fun crafts.
Bunny CupCakes
My Great-Grandma's recipe. She made them every Easter. At least until she was like 90 years old. She was a very talented woman and made everything beautiful including these sweet little Easter treats.
I'd never made them before. Thanks Mom for doing them with us! Let's do it agin next year! Ashby and I really had fun. Ashby's bunny faces can only improve from here right? ( you use food coloring and a toothpick on the marshmellows to make the face and Ashby's looked more like the bunnies had been shot....ewww. Don't worry, she ate all of the evidence). I guess we'll work on our smiley faces.
The grass is coconut dyed green! And my Great-Grandma came up with this cute idea without the websites I would have needed today.
Kites
Mom helped Ashby to creat a "swirl" or "no wind" kite. It was just out of paper, stick and string with color love by Ashby. It didn't take long and provided lots of smiley fun!
Daddy-Daughter Non-Date
So while Michelle and I went dress shopping (see post below) Ryan was kind enough to watch Ashby. He actually was really cute and told her how excited he was to go on a "Daddy-Daughter-Date" with her. And our silly, sweet little Ashby completely objected. She wanted to go with Daddy to the Mall, but definitely not on a date! I guess maybe she just wants to wait until she is 16 for one of those date thingys.
When we caught up with them Ashby and Daddy shared that they had lots of fun! Daddy even let Asbhy choose her very own nail polish! She chose purple!
Later at home, Daddy completely wowed and amazed up all by painting her nails as soon as we all got home!
Easter Weekend at Grandparents Loveless Part 2
April 10th
My youngest sister Michelle asked me about 2 months ago if I'd go dress shopping with her. Just for fun. So I thought....Michelle, shopping, fun. Those are all things I like. So sure, let's go
We don't live super close and only go up to North Ogden to visit Michelle and my parents about 1.5 times a month. And those are normally quite full, fun and busy visits. So yeah...it's taken me a while.
She kept asking and reminding me about going because, yes, I am pregnant and will get bigger before I get smaller. She figured a higher rate of fun would be incurred by both she and I if both of us could actually fit into the dresses.
We finally went this past Friday.
In case you were wondering this is what Michelle+Shopping+Fun looks like:
Later Daddy and Ashby caught up with us and Ashby and I tried on Pink dresses together! :)
Easter weekends at Grandparents Loveless Part 1
We started our weekend early by going up to Ogden on Thursday (thanks mom) and had fun right away playing, exercising, baking and going to see the lambs in neighborhood farm.
Ashby's favorite part was the sheep/lambs. I don't blame her. They were cute and the land was beautiful!
Most of the sheep were shy at first. But not this ram. We nicknamed him George. Hey was really pushy and actually had my jacket in his mouth to eat! Luckily my jacket won that battle.
Eventually the lambs got brave and came over. Ashby really liked saying hi to them and wanted to pet them, but found they were a little too skittish.
Thanks Grandma for taking us!
