July 4th

We had a great holiday weekend with friends. Ashlyn went to her first pool party in Katy, TX at the Niswongers. She loved the water. I even dunked her completely under water a couple of times and both times she did great. Not even crying once. She looked a little suprised when she came back up. Ryan and I went downtown to the Houston fireworks but we left Ashlyn with a sitter. Maybe next year, we didn't think loud bursts of noise past her bedtime would be a great way for her to celebrate the 4th.

1st Boo Boo

Ashlyn has officially been inducted into daycare. I am suprised it has taken this long but apparently she and another little kid were "sharing" a toy resulting in this bite to the leg. If you look closely you can make out the teeth marks :) I would have hated to see how the other child came out, she can be pretty tough when she wants something :)

Stairs

Ashlyn has not decided she wants to try walking yet but she is climbing stairs. Apparently, Ryan and I must be too boring and she wants to escpae to her room. So far she has only made it up one stair. Thank god!

Sasha and Alec's Visit

Yesterday Sasha and Alec visited. We had a great time playing and we even made it to the park. Only for a short time, it was pretty warm out there :)

Alec did a great job of keeping Ashlyn laughing!

Sasha was a huge help! She helped Ryan make bottles and then she fed Ashlyn too.

Torin's Visit

Janet, Abir and Torin came for a visit today on their drive from Arizona to Knoxville. The kids had a blast playing together. However, out of all the toys they had to play with they "fought" over a plastic Tupperware container :) Here is a pic to enjoy!

Moody Gardens

Today we went to Moody Gardens aquarium with the Worthams. We had a great time at the aquarium but Ashlyn's favorite part was the soda and cracker her dad gave her at Texas Roadhouse.

Memorial Day

Christine, Brian and Chase visited for the holiday and Christine finally got me started blogging and on facebook. Here we are:

This picture only took forever to download. I had 453 pics on my camera to download before we could get to this one for the blog. Christine was not impressed :) Now we are working on downloading my pics.
