i absolutely adore this picture!

this was right after her bath and she couldn't look more precious!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ME!!!!

love her!

Ashlyn and me just hangin out together

we still exist!

I know it has been way too long since i last updated. Its been about a month since my last post and things have been going pretty good. We went to Mexico with the Widdison clan the first week of April. I wont go into great detail, but lets just say that because Ashlyn was sick and we got a bunch of things stolen out of our room, it wasn't the best trip we've ever had. Ashlyn did great on the plane and that was a great thing, but while we were there it just didn't really feel like much of a vacation. It was great, however, to be able to spend a lot of time with Skylar!

Easter was great. We went to the Widdisons 20 acres and had a big easter egg hunt and roasted hot dogs on the fire. Then later that afternoon we went to the Briggs and had another fun easter egg hunt and had a lot of fun. It's always good to get together with family!

Ashlyn is chunking up a ton and i feel like she changes every day! She is just over 13 lbs now and she is getting so fun! She smiles a lot and is starting to giggle!

This is Ashlyn on the last day in mexico. She was exhausted~

Mommy and her sweet babe

we love her smiles!

Ashlyn and daddy in their new easter clothes

she was staring at skylar and would just smile at him all day

Sorry about the plethera of pictures but i had too many and it was hard to pick and choose!

We are so blessed to have this little girl in our lives!

We are going to see Wicked tonight and i can't wait! YAY!

Our baby is getting so big!

Ashlyn is such a doll! We just can't even believe how fast time is going though. She was 2 months old a week ago so we went and had her 2 month check up and everything looks great! She is growing like a champ and has doubled her weight! She is 10 lbs and 23 inches now. She did so good when she had to get her shots. She scrame for a minute and then was happy to be held by her daddy. Skylar adores this little girl!!

I thought i would put some new pics so you can all enjoy her chubby cheeks and double chin as much as we do!!

Sunday best!

So serious!

Sweet Girl

A little out of focus, but so happy!

6 weeks old

I can not believe how quick time goes by! My baby is already 6 weeks old and i am happy that she is growing strong and healthy, but i am also sad that she is growing up! Everyone says soak it all up cause time goes by too fast and it's sooooo true!
Skylar and i have not stopped our usual lifestyle of going going going. After all, it's what we did for 4 years before Ashlyn came! We went to St George 2 weekends in a row. It was a nice change of scenery, but poor little Ashlyn doesn't like being in the car for that long and i can't blame her. Also, it was quite a change to have to stop at some point to feed her, but it worked out fine.
We went to the Jazz game on Saturday night with Ryan and Kelsie and had a great time, but i was way sad to leave Ashlyn. I knew she was in good hands with my mom and dad, but it was crazy to leave her for the first time. It was a great time and i nice relief to just be a couple and have a fun time together!
I am going to start working again tomorrow and i definately have mixed feelings. I am happy to be seeing my awesome clients again, but sad to be taking time away from my baby! Wish me luck.
Mexico is coming up here in about 4 weeks and i am way looking forward to it!
pictures to come soon- can't seem to get them to download

BABIES!

Wow, i have not posted on here in a long time! Skylar has been awesome at keeping you all updated! There are some cute pictures that i have been wanting to put up so here we go...

this is Ashlyn and her cousins-

Sophie(6 months) and twins Dean and Elysee (5 months)

I'm sure this picture will be a favorite for a long time!

Sweetest thing ever!

There is nothing like the bond between a daddy and his daughter!

she adores him and he adores her!

I love pictures of her sleeping!

she looks like such a little angel!

She is changing so much every day!

I feel like she only wears an outfit once or twice and grows out of it!

We bought wayyyyyy too many clothes

She is such an alert baby when she is awake.

She loves to just look around and make lots of sweet baby noises.

I can not believe how fast time goes. She will be 4 weeks old tomorrow:( In a way it makes me sad to see her changing so fast, but i also look forward to the fun, cute new things she is going to start to do! I can't wait for her to smile in response to skylar and my voices! she smiles, but it's usually when she is sleeping.

Anyway, life as a new mom is the most rewarding, wonderful thing i have ever experienced. i love her more than i ever imagined and i love skylar more because of her! He is such a great dad and partner to me! Thanks babe!

Grandma & Grandpa's First Grand "Daughter"!! = (Spoiled)


Mommy's First Baby!!!

3 Weeks Early, But Oh So Girly!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday we were blessed to understand the feeling of having a baby born into this world that we can call ours. There is no greater feeling in this world than the amazing love for such a pure being that you call your "child". Our precious little angel was brought into this world by such an amazing person that we can now call "mommy". I have the most incredible wife. She is an inspiration to me everyday. Her strength and determination is prodigious!!! She is someone that any dad would give anything to be the mommy of his children. I am so thankful for the blessing of "MY GIRLS". I Love them with all my heart and cherish every second I have with them!!!!

Here is a picture. Hopefully I can get more up soon!!
