Some fun pictures from this weekend.

We had a very busy memorial day weekend. BBQ here and a BBQ there. We got to spend lots of time with family. It was so much fun, and exhausting.

yummy treats

Scott decided to make cookies with the kids. It was something his mom used to do with them, and so he wanted to share it with his kids. Scott has been doing lots of fun things with the kids now that he is out of school for the summer. The Triffle is what I made for my family BBQ I was in charge of dessert. It was all compliments of the Kraft food and family magazine.

Ashlynn's solo of the Zoo song

Ashlynn loves this song. I just think it is so cute when she sings it. My favorite part is "yackety yack just talks and talks"

Ashlynn's Kindergarten song.

She missed a few line in this song, but it is still cute, and you get the idea.

Aslynn's Zoo song.

This is Ashlynn's favorite song she sang on her last day of school. She just keeps singing is. It is so cute.

As we wrap another year of Preschool for Ashlynn. I reflect on how she has been doing, and am really happy with her progress. I do get worried that I only have another year before she goes to school where she is not observed as closely. I have been so lucky that Ashlynn's teacher is so wonderful, and I have been able to build a friendship with her. She is just awesome. Here are some pictures of the social today. We had tons of fun. Ashlynn will have the same teacher next year thank goodness.

Sleepy time.

So the picture of the kids in my bed is what I have to leave everynight when I go to work. Scott tucks them into our bed with a movie, and I have to leave for work. Scott cant handle sleeping alone I guess. They are almost always in my bed when I get home. The picture of Coleton is one I took today as I was leaving for Ice Cream day in Ashlynn's class. I was so worried he was going to fall off and hurt himself, but he never did.

The boys camping trip.

Scott and Coleton went on the father and sons campout. Scott informed me that he hoped I did not mind that he took the camera. I said no not at all. I did not really want to see half of these pictures. Oh men do they ever grow up? Some of them are good. They had a good time. Coleton had a ham sandwhich, and scott said he started complaining that his stomache hurt. Then he said he had to poop. they pulled over and he would not poop on the side of the road. So they got back in the car. Started unloading their stuff, and Coleton started vomiting, and having really bad diahrea. So he asked coleton if he wanted to go home, and coleton said no. Scott says he threw up one more time after that, and he was totally fine. He seems fine today. Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I did. :-p

Happenings!!!

And another semester down. Only two more and three years. Scott Aced another semester again. I am so proud of him. He works so hard. He hates to see me work, but him and I both know that it is totally going to be worth all this time and effort. Now Scott is going to be spending much of his time. Volunteering at Good Samaritan Hospital in the Pharmacy, and studying for a PCAT that is coming up in June (I think the 8th). So remember him, and wish him lots of luck. He is also looking for a part time job to do this summer. To earn a little extra cash. And then on to another semester. He is done with Chemistry. He should be a pro by now. Good job babe I am proud of you.

As for me.....well you know the same old things. Keeping busy. I have been going to Ashlynn's class more now that I have the time. I have also switched my schedule at work, and am enjoying it a ton more. At one point I was ready to quit my job, and throw in the towel. But then I started this new shift, and it is just awesome. The people are awesome. I know what to expect everyday, and I just love it. I am also on a big diet, and wanting to run a 5K in the near future. I am putting together a team for the walk for Autism. So anyone is welcome to join. More info to come on that. But over all I am hanging in there. Live most of my time STRESSED.

Ashlynn is doing well in school. I have had some concerns with her recently, but have spoken with her teacher about them, and she has given me some ideas and things to do with her this summer. And I have to mention that I just love her teacher. I have gained a relationship with her that i feel much more comfortable talking with her about Ashlynn. So we are going to work on some of that. But she is really progressing well. She will be starting at a new dance studio this July. I am sure I will post more pictures of them later on.

Coleton has been going through the evaluation process for his speech. He has been approved for services. So that means he and Ashlynn will be going to school together in August. Coleton is doing really well. He does not have a real serious issue or anything. He is just having a hard time with some of his letters. But the whole thing will be good for him. He has a harder time learning at home then Ashlynn did. So I am hoping preschool will help with that.

So this is the update on the family. I don't really have any pictures to share. I had a cute video of Ashlynn singing songs she learned from school, but I cant figure out how to download them onto the computer. So when i figure it out I will sure do that. We are also going on a few family vacations this summer. We are going camping for 5 days in June up north. Then I am having a sisters time, and we are going to see Wicked. I am so excited. Thats in July. Then we are going to Utah in August hopfully. We will have to see if I get the time off. I have request a total of a month this summer. They might get sick of it. It is truly for my own sanity.

Its time again already

The heat is back again for another summer already. I hate the desert. I hate being hot. So we went swimming. I do love water. This year is very different than last year. We could not get coleton to get in the pool, and this year it is the opposite we cant get coleton out, and Ashlynn is no longer a fish. She is so afraid of the water. Must be the age.

Ashlynn's new do

And she is thrilled.
