Funny Girl

A couple days ago I picked up Ash from my moms after work. When I walked in, she woke up, ran to me, gave me a hug, and then said, "Mommy, I wasn't good!" I thought this was pretty funny. At least she is honest, right?

Check Up

I took Ashlyn for her 3 yr check up on Monday. Yes, she has been 3 for a while but her doctor told me if I spread the visits a little longer, she will have her 5 yr check up right on time with starting kindergarten.
Anyway, Ash was really excited for her appointment. She got right up and wanted to get ready so we could go. When we got there she said, " I know this place, I went here for my itches!" A few months back we had gone for a rash and it was discovered she had a mild case of exczema, nothing some special lotion wouldn't fix.
When we got there they started with a vision test. Ash thought that was really fun and thought it was a game. And the nurse said her vision is just fine, unlike Mom.
The doctor asked me some questions to see how she is developing and what not. He asked if she talked in complete sentences and how often and I chuckled and told him a little too well sometimes. And I had to laugh when he asked if she wanted to take the paper gown home to color and she told him to "throw that thing away".
The visit went well and Ash is healthy and happy and that makes me very happy!

Camping at Moon Lake July 11th-13th

Our first camping trip of the summer was to Moon Lake. This is my most favorite spot to camp, I have so many memories of going there every summer since I was a kid. Ashlyn is getting more fun camping as she gets older. She was so excited the morning we went, she woke right up and told me to get in the shower cuz we were going camping. She was a little confused when we left because Grandpa, Shay and the Fifth wheel left before us and she kept telling Grandma to turn around and go get them. The weather was perfect the whole time and the water was super high and it was weird not seeing all the beach that is usually there. Kyler and I had some fun when we rented a paddle boat. Ash stayed on the shore and played in the water and got soaked in water and sand. She loved every minute of it. I ended up coming home before them so I could go to work, I thought I would enjoy the break from Ash but in reality I missed her so much! They came home a day early and I was totally ok with it. In fact, Ash was so happy to see me she started crying. It was very tender.

5th of July

Since I had to work on the 4th, Ashlyn and I made up for it the next day. We started out by going to Murray Park for a little picnic. Ash is very into picnics these days and she wants to go on one every day. We got there and played and ate and fed the ducks. Ash was very generous with her PB&J, hope they like grape jelly! After that we took a drive in the new car up Big Cottonwood Canyon to Silver Lake. It was super crowded so we left and went off for some ice cream where Ash had a super time playing at the Arctic Circle play area. Ash had a blast and it was fun to have some time to play with her.
