I'll give it one more shot!

So most of you know why I stopped blogging, but I'll try again! :)

Let's see... where do I begin!?
Kylie... well, she's your typical 2 year old. Some days are good, others are well, not so good! She loves to play with her baby dolls... she feeds them/bathes them/puts them to bed/etc etc... I can just imagine what she'll be doing to Reese, if it's anything like she treats her baby dolls... picks them up by the head! ;) She's all girl! Doesn't like lizards/bugs/etc... but neither do I... and I say 'shoooo bug' and well, so does she! Her manners are so great, and cute! She says 'thanks mama' to things when you do something for her, or give her something. She also says 'please', and 'excuse me'.. when needed! I was trying on a bathing suit at the store the other day (which was hideous, by the way) and Kylie says to me 'it's niceeee mama'... at least she meant well! She loves to play in outside in the pool. It's so hot here, that so do I! I was begging her to leave the park the other day...I was sweating to death!

The pregnancy is going good! 30 weeks now, and counting down the days! The room is ready, and everything is bought! She just needs to be born. Her name is still Reese Makenzie. I've been feeling great. Gained quite a bit of weight... but as to be expected when I crave Sonny's BBQ, cereal, milkshakes, and ice cream. Ahhhhh well! :) My back has realllllllly been hurting lately. And I spend my evenings on the heating pad! 10 more weeks, 10 more weeks! ;)

Jared is doing good. Working over time here and there. Been fishing and frog gigging lately with dad a few times. Hurricane season started, so his overtime will increase I'm sure.

I'll update with a few pictures from the past month! :)








My baby shower:






















As you can tell in Reese's 4d ultrasound pics, she wasn't wanting to coroporate at first, she had her feet in her face. But we were finally able to get some good pics.
Next is a pic of my belly at 30 weeks! Don't look if you don't want to see it.... (Dad!!! he gets all weird, HAHA).




Well I think that's all, and I should be caught up!
I'll try and stay on top of this!
Talk to you all soon!
Love, Ash

I'm still here!

I haven't updated my blog in about a month. Bad me! ;)
All is well with us. Kylie is growing like a weed. Her vocab is getting better. She amazes me every day. I love to just watch her. It's amazing what she learns from us. My fav thing is to watch her put her babies to bed. She kisses them, covers them up, presses the wall (really she's pressing play on the CD player for her music to play, which is what I do) and says wub you and closes the door and tells me 'mama, baby nap'. She's so funny! She knows lots of her body parts, and alot of animal noises. She can copy the ABC's after you and can tell you how old she is and her name. She's too cute! We went to the beach for the weekend in April and she LOVED it. Her and Jared played the majority of the time on the beach. She didn't want to just sit and watch, like me... she wanted to play! She loved it. So now I can't wait till we return in June for our family vacation, which Kylie and I will be there a week, and Jared a few days! Should be fun! Except this time, not only will I load Kylie up on sunscreen, but myself... I got burnt! I always load Kylie up, but not myself. Opps. Anyways. All is well with us. Reese is a kick, kick, kickin' machine. Sometimes I wish she'd stop and go to sleep... hope this isn't a sign for the future. I've already had a dream on what she looked like, and Jared recently had a dream on what she looked like and it was the same... we dreamed she had a headful of dark hair, opposite of Kylie. We shall see. I'll probably have another bald baby! All is well with Reese though, heartbeat is good, weight is well.... what's the word.. I'm gaining, and lots of it! Doc hasn't yelled at me yet though... whew! I sleep on the couch alot at night cause it's more comfortable. I've only got 15 weeks left... so yay for that! Anyways, I think that's all from us. We have our house for sale.. yes, again! We're nuts. I think we're going to move back to Sumterville and build a house on some acreage. We've found 2 different sets of 5 acres we're interested in. That way when mom and dad get old and gray we'll have room for them..... NOT! Just kidding! ;) But, with the way the market is, we're not expecting a miracle, and it's just buy owner at the time. Ok... enough talking... nap time is here so I need to join her ;).... but first, I'll post some pictures!
Love, Ash

A few random pics from the month:














First night at the beach... it was a little windy and cool




First morning, she couldn't wait to get out there...



Packing the house down to the beach....







We saw dolphins, AND a beached whale...
