Heres the low down




Ashlyn's aunts were nice enough to take her to the nutcracker this year. They found a small dance company off Barker Cypress to go to, and Ashlyn got all gussied up in her dress we bought her for her birthday. (which is tomorrow!) She had such a blast and got to wear one of the three bows Wendy made.( my friend who moved and is town and is nice enough to do things that I am not so good at!) This and the pink bow in the previous post.
Which speaking of I think needs a little explaining. I was holding Ty so I just posted the pictures and video and thought Id eventually get around to editing the post with an actual update. Guess that never happened. So heres an update for you.
Ashlyn as I said is turning 6 tomorrow. Where does the time go. Her and her friends have ALREADY figured out how to give each other their phone numbers and call each other. Ashlyn calls one of her friends every morning to see what she is having for lunch so Ashlyn knows what to do. Appearently you can only sit by people who also either bring or buy lunch. Shes loving school and dance, but not loving all the chores at home so much.
Jayden is doing really well in his class the last couple days. Hes not as shy anymore and is making friends. Josh and I got to go have a feast at Ashlyns school and then Jaydesn on thurdsay. It was so fun. Josh has promised to go take Jayden to the hill country when he goes to fix a few things at our property that yes is still for sale. Anyone want to buy a piece of Texas?
Rylan is determined to be my most hurt child. After his trip to the emergency rooma a few weeks back, he has since dropped a 17 in tv and almost landed on him, but managed to scrape up his feet pretty bad. I was afraid it had crushed his feet but he just buised it. Then at the gym he was just standing there and fell over and bit his tongue bad! Poor kid! Ke managed to climb out of his crib once and hasnt done it since either he remembers it hurt the first time and isnt willing to try again or has tried and just hasnt succeeded.
Ty is doing fantastic. Hes so alert and so fun. Although hes at the age when he knows when your not around which is espcially tricky at night when he wants to be snuggled all night. So tonight while Josh is at the station we are experimenting whith him crying himself to sleep. Wish me luck! It always breaks my heart. I took him to the doctor and he is 15 lbs plus, and in the high percentile. Hes rolling over as you saw, but doesnt really like it.
I joined a gym again and have been working out everyday for a couple hours and man is it paying off. Ok not really, but lets pretend. But its good to challenge myself. Other than that Ive just been enjoying a few girls nights out, maybe a little too many...poor Josh and poor my body for all the food Ive been eating! Josh is the same as always...just a little skinnier. I hope to take a few family pictures this holiday season, I keep waiting until I look thin enough but lets face it that will be awhile so Ill take what I can get.
Ive been so bad about posting lately, so you tell me is there enough content? Im trying to think that this will become a book, and so far it doesnt sound like a very exciting one, and I have so little pictures, because I feel like I never have time to grab the camera..poor Ty. He'll be the one that asks why there are never pictures of him!!! Anyways, is there anything you would like to hear about, too much of one thing? Be honest, but not too honest!

Happy Birthday Ashlyn!!! She is such a sweet and pretty girl. I hope she had a great birthday. I like the flower hair bows that Wendy makes. I need to get some for CC. :)
