Not as funny as advertized on 'youtube'

first off apparently Jane only likes me in small doses, for the rest of the hour Ashley was out she screamed embarrassing us both and secondly Ashley isn't nearly as fun on her meds. A bad combo in the oral surgeon's busy waiting room, filling the prescription in Costco, and the hour long car ride home.

Words of Wisdom

Ashley here.

Tuesday I get my wisdom teeth pulled!!!! AHHHH I know I am the only person over the age of 18 who has not had this done yet...

Any words of advice or magic pills you know of that will make it so I don't feel any pain or have any swelling?!?

Let me know.

My Favorite thing.

I adore that my baby-kin's arms appear to be wrist-less. Just arm then Hand.
Who needs 'em anyways??

Surfer Baby

We figured since Jane is such a Genius water baby and graduated with honors from swim class, the next logical step is surfing lessons, obviously.
But seriously, Jane loves playing on the surfboard. What a ham.

Riding Tandam

She is screaming with excitement in this shot.

Dad showing her how to pop up!

Hangin' Ten.

We keep you posted on when her first surf competition is.

Born to Swing

Brandon's new fave thing to do with Janey is to take her on a walk outside, they don't usually get very far but no matter what they always make it to the swing. Brandon usually takes Janey to the swing when she has a case of the crankies... and it always seems to make everything better.
The other day Janey was too fussy and tired to even sleep, so Brandon brought her out to the swing and eventually she konked out, right there on the swing. With her cute little noggin hanging back and mouth open of course (just like her pops).

Just Keep Swimming!

Yes, I stole your blog title Erika, what are you going to do about it?!

But seriously, Jane just graduated from swim lessons at gunstock ranch. Thats right now I just drop her off at the pool, she is that good.
It was a lot of fun, she was in a clas with three other girls all over a year old, so she was the runt... THe first day I got there I was thinking to myself that she was wayyy to young to be doing this, but she it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made, she wasn't scared of anything, she dunks her face, she falls into my arms of the ledge, she hangs onto the noodle. The other girls that were a little older were a lot more reserved in the water. Now we can take Janey to the beach, pool whatever!!! She never cries, even when it is cold!!! totally worth it!!!

Janey and the moms swimmin' around, as you can see she was getting tired and starting to rub those little eyes.

Meet Aunty Kylee, Janey's swim instructor!!!

We heart our water baby!

Alysha's 21st Birthday Celebration

Hooray Alysha is the big 2-1!!We celebrated by chowing down on at Pizza Bobs, and then we had a little surprise party waiting for her back at Sunshine's place. funniest part of the night was when Annette wrapped up a martinelli's sparkling cider bottle (as seen in the photo) and then wrote in the card that she is "drinking age" now. And as Alysha was opening it Annette kept saying dont' tell anyone I did this, and you don't really have to drink it.... So everyone got nervous that she really got her wine or something!!! LOL so funny.... oh Annette you are so sneaky....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!

HOPE YOUR BIRTHDAY WAS FULL OF EXCITMENT THAT MADE YOU DO THIS....

Just kidding!!!

Love and miss you tons!

Rice Cereal!

Now that Janey is 6 whole months old, we decided she deserves a little variation from her regular Diet. So we whipped out the Rice Cereal and gave her a taste and she... HATED IT!! of course.... So with a little time and a lot of cheerleading (and a little added flavor, come on would you eat this stuff?? I did not think so) she finally started to take to the stuff. Here are a view photos of Janey Brainy (that is what I call her so she feels smart) Feasting on the stuff.

little in the mouth, more falling off the chin.

(one step foward, two steps back)

Janey would rather eat the camera than the cereal.

Janey just wanted to enjoy her dinner in peace.

Mastering the art of "open wide!" nicely done Janey-Lou-Lou!!
