Cuddle Bunnies

Life gets busy, but I love to take time to cuddle with my Cuddle Bunnies.  I need to do it more often.  I love these three cutie pies sooooo much!

Madison loves to cuddle up with Ashton, I'm pretty sure he likes it too! 

Little Chompers!

I tried...

(turned off the flash) and tried...

to catch a photo of Ashton's two little teeth..

I finally caught a glimpse.  Madsion and I had a good time giggling while trying to get Mr. Big Boy to keep his tongue out of the way.  I can verify that his chompers work, he's tested them out on me a few times.  :-) 

O-R-E-O

Ashton's first taste of an Oreo.  He loved it!

Mmmmm!





Those Oreo's are yummy but messy!



Proceed with Caution...Mooshiness Ahead!



Happy Father's Day!

6 Months



Happy Half-Birthday dear Ashton!!



Ashton was born on Dec. 15, 2010 
 During our challenges with trying to conceive children, due to a health condition I have, we were told by one doctor that it was a miracle I was even able to become pregnant with Madison without medical aid.  I'm so grateful that we have been blessed with Three miracles!!!

He weighed 6 lbs. 2 oz and was 19 in long.   He was a wee little thing, my smallest baby!  (FYI: this is not a photo of him in his early days, this was taken last week. :)




We love our Ashton!



Ashton is such a happy and fun baby.  Madison and Bailee adore their baby brother.  They both love to hold him and often argue over who's turn it is. Madison is an awesome big sister, she is very helpful to me.  She's actually holding him at this moment so I can finish up this blog post.  Ashton looks at me, his mommy, like I'm the apple of his eye.  I love it, love it!  He is such a special little spirit!  I unconditionally love the three special spirits Heavenly Father has blessed me with!  They teach me so much and add tremendous joy to mine and Jeff's lives.  



 



Last day of 3rd grade!

Here is Madison & the kids with Mrs. Schmelter, Madison's 3rd grade teacher.  Too be honest Madison belly-ached quite a bit throughout the year about Mrs. Schmelter.  I liked her and never had any issues.  She gave plenty of homework which wasn't always convenient, but hey, that's how it goes.  It surprised me when the last day of school came and Madison was so sad to be leaving her teacher.  She cried more over her than any of her previous teachers.  4th grade this fall, I can't believe it!

Silly Bailee enjoying herself at Madison's class program.

The next few photos are candid shots of Madison the morning of her last day of school.  School ended on May 27th.  She wasn't thrilled with me for taking pictures, but I was having a fun time. ;-)



"Come on Mom!"



There's my cute girl!
