Samuel has a great new hair do, his hair hasn't quite come in on the sides yet but he has a good amount of hair on top and so it always wants to stick up so we are making it stick up more. We had a really good time and he is really cute with his new hair do.

Finally we are all feeling better

It has been a rough couple weeks but we are on the road to recovery. I was the last one to get sick and the last one to finally be able to sleep with out pain medication. But we are all doing well, Ashley is starting softball this weekend and we are sure excited about that. Samuel is on the move, he is crawling and I am loving it cause I don't have to hold him all day long. The weather is warm and bright and everything is starting to feel like spring. We are looking forward to spring breatk where we get to go to grandmas house and go to the beach and hang out with cousins and just get away.

It was Bills birthday on Sunday and it wasn't very exciting for him because we were all sick. But we are going to make up for it this weekend.

This sickness will never end

We have been fighting this cold for about 2 weeks, everyone has a cough, I have a awful sore throat. I can't believe that we have been sick for this long I would think that it would go away, but no, it just stays.

Thank goodness that the weather has been wonderful. Nice enough to open the windows and allow the air to come in and fill the house. I love spring

Ashley's birthday

Well we did it, Ashley had a birthday party last night and it was alot of fun. We made it a girls night out and with that we decided to turn our garage into a dance club called "Club Octagon" We had it all decked out, with a stage to dance on, disco ball, strobe light and even drinks and snacks. The girls just danced and played some games. It was really cute the pictures don't do justice. Well Ashley invited 18 friends and I thought that only about 7-8 would come, no about 14 little girls came. Thank goodness for Nicole for coming to my rescue. She had the nail polish and just helped with crowd control. I think that the girls had alot of fun. Ashley had a lot of fun and it was fun to see her interact with her friends. I made the cake and it was alot of fun too. I'm glad that we did a party but I'm really glad that it is over. Now William is asking what his party will be like. Thank goodness I have a couple more months.

Ashley's day

Ashley turned 8 on Thurday. We had a great day, it started with a pancake breakfast, cupcakes at school, then ended the day with us taking Ashley out to dinner at Olive Garden. We had a great time and we had some extra visitors Granddaddy and Grandma Layton were in town and joined us for dinner it was really special that they made they were able to join us. They sang to Ashley and it was a great evening.

Friday was a busy day getting ready for the big event of Ashley getting baptized on Saturday. I had to do some cleaning, cooking, shopping. It was alot of work. That night Bill and I attended the temple with Joe, Amy, Pam, Newell, Larry and Linda. It was a great start to the weekend.

Saturday was the big day and Ashley was so excited, the rest of the family came into town and it was alot of fun, alittle stressful but alot of fun. After the baptism we all went to the park and played talked and laughed. Then after a while people started to leave. It was a special day and we survied. I was so proud our Ashley, for choices that she has made and the girl that she is.
