Ashley is back!

Ashley flew back from Ohio this morning. She said she had a good time but was glad to be home. School starts here on August 12th! I think she's anxious to reconnect with her friends here in Colorado before school starts up again. I'll post pictures from her camera later on when I get the chance.

Watch out!

Hello everyone! I think I'll start posting silly, "Just for Fun," pictures every once in a while. If anyone objects please let me know.

I think Lindsey is the only child in the world who signs "more" when it's thundering outside :) She likes the noise I guess?

My beautiful sister...

My sister played lacrosse during her senior year of high school. I've always liked this picture of her, isn't she beautiful? She is expecting baby Shank in March.

Just for fun!!

I thought this would be fun for you guys to see!

Need I say more?

Lindsey and Mommy on the Carosel

Lindsey loves the Carosel at Elitches! In fact, she really loves all the rides there!

Catching some zzz's

Lindsey finally fell asleep after a long day at Elitch Gardens. Sweet Dreams!!

Lindsey and Emilia at Elitch Gardens

Lindsey and Emilia giving kisses at the park 2 weeks ago!

How could I forget?!

My friend Cali is pregnant and is due in March as well! I can't wait to buy more baby stuff!

Recent News...

I've got some good news concerning our family, as well as some bad news. First the good news. My sister, Leah, found out recently that she and her husband are expecting their first child in March! Congratulations to the Shank family!

My mother, who within the past year has finished nursing school, has found a new job on a Mother/Baby unit. She will be working nights but she is really excited! I'm happy for you mom!

Now the not so good news. My dad's wife Mindy has two blood clots in her arm from a recent I.V. start. Please keep her in your prayers as blood clots can be fatal if they break and travel to the lungs or heart. My dad has to give her shots, but I think she would say that he's being a competant nurse :)

Ashley is having a wonderful time with her friend Summer in TN. Katrina, Summer's mom, told me that Ashley has no reception where they are staying. I'm sure Ashley is beside herself since she can't receive or make any phone calls or texts! I talked to A the other night, she says she having a good time at the lake. She was able to go to Kings Island with Summer and Emily last week. And I've had fun "cleaning" her room. I actually threw a lot of junk away.

It's hard to believe the summer is flying by like it has been. Ashley starts school in August, Paul turns 40 in August, and Ashley's cousin Addy turns 1 in August! Please, everyone have a safe and fun remainder of the summer.

Teenage Patriotism!

Ashley, Kayleigh, and Summer (visiting from Cincinnati, OH) showing off their version of patriotism.

Sarah and Lindsey playing babies. Do you see the size 5 diaper on her wee little baby? Lindsey likes to feed her babies and she likes to burp them. My mamaw knitted a blanket and pillow for Lindsey's babies this past Christmas. Her babies get lots of naps with the blanket and pillow.

Lindsey and Cousin Sarah

Sarah just graduated with a double major from University of Pittsburgh. She is working in L.A. now and enjoying her life! Thank you Sarah for coming to visit with us!

Pigtails!

Lindsey doesn't like to have her hair done, so for me to actually be able to put her hair in pigtails was incredible! We were going to see Fourth of July fireworks the night this picture was taken. Sarah, my cousin on my mother's side, came to visit us from L.A., California.

Smilebox...

I thought it would be fun to send a Smilebox greeting! I had to use old pictures though because I couldn't figure out how to get recent ones on the computer to use. No news on moving back to Ohio yet. We really want to move but it looks like God wants us to stay here for the time being.
