Oh Happy Day

10 Reasons I am feeling HAPPY today:

1. I got to spend the afternoon with my sister, having a picnic, talking and just hanging our with our kids @ the park.

2. We are having a much needed rainy day, which gives me all the more reason to stay indoors, be kind of lazy and NOT feel quilty!

3. My house is CLEAN, for the moment.

4. Everyone is healthy, at least nothing major (just a runny nose/cold for Ash).

5. It is Saturday, so I don't feel rushed to get kids out the door to school.

6. I have a beautiful home to keep us warm/cool (depending on the season-today it is keeping us WARM), dry, and comfortable.

7. Quinn has job(s) and works VERY hard to provides for our family, so I can be home with our children.

Thank You Honey, for your sacrifice, diligence and tiresome, long hours!

8. The kids were happy, getting along and playing nicely (I should have typed this one first).

9. I feel somewhat caught up on tasks that were nagging at me at 6am, even though I slept in until 7:00. THAT sure felt good!

10. Conference is starting in about 15 minutes!

Billboards linking milk to autism stir controversy

Is cow's milk linked to autism? Some new billboards tell Utahns it is.

But some health experts disagree and call the campaign a harmful exaggeration.
Two electronic billboards along Interstate 15 in Salt Lake County will show a bowl of cereal and milk with the slogan "Got autism?" The warning sign is being put up by PETA, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

not so LITTLE anymore

This post is a little late, but that doesn't mean we love our Ashy Boy any less!

On the 26th he was officially 18 months.

We had a doctor's visit on Monday,

and can I just say how great our doctor is!!

(Karli and LeAnne also have him as a pediatrician)

He is so personable, easy going, informative, and loving to the children.

Here is some info. to document about out not soo little boy:

weight: 23 lbs=25th%

height:32 in=60th%

he is not as big percentile wise as his older siblings were at his age,

but he is healthy and growing and that is what matters!

His vocabulary is slowly growing and includes:

uh-oh, dad, hi, up, uh-uh (no), he tries Ame too

AND he signs several other words:

dog, eat, more, all done

Ash loves to blow kisses, play patty cake,

and point to his body parts.

HE definitely melts MY heart!
