Arizona Trip

We went to Arizona for a job interview and while we were there we took advantage of the HUGE malls, and while we were there we ate at the food court. Kevin got a corn dog and LOVED it. He did really good with it too. It's funny the things we see as accomplishments as parents.
We stopped at the pet store too, which needless to say Kevin also loved. He really likes doggies so it was a blast to see his face light up.

Adam and I went on a date on Tuesday (the first in a while) we shared something at P.F. Changs, then went to Golfland to play a few video games. It was tons of fun. We need to do that more often.

April Fools Day INDEED

As many mothers know, the baby in the house is often the source one uses as an alarm clock. Gone are the days of my annoying cell phone beeping at me (because No, I don't have to be up before my son in order to get ready for work). So as you might know I have grown quite accustom to whining noises, or crib shaking sounds to get me out of my nice warm, comfortable bed.
Well this morning has been quite different. It must be April Fools Day. I battled all night with my husbands SNORING sounds (he is a little stuffed up right now), and though I got a decent nights sleep, I woke to the sounds of thunder like breathing next to me, and although it was NOT early by any means, I still have a long day ahead of me and do NOT have time for a nap which means this pregnant lady likes to take advantage of every moment of shut eye she can. So after numerous attempts to silence the thunder, I finally decided to get up and eat.
Eating is also SUCH a CHORE for me lately. Especially breakfast, I absolutely hate trying to decide what to put into my body after an 8 hour fast (or longer). So the one thing that gives me enough energy for my day oddly enough is the one thing I cannot stomach. EGGS. So while lying in bed this morning to my surprise guess what Ashley craves. Fried eggs. It must be April Fools Day.
Now on those rare occasions where I get out of bed before my "alarm clock" sounds, one little movement from me or the sound of me going downstairs alerts the "alarm clock" that he should have been up hours ago and I don't even get half way down the stairs before he lets me know he too is ready to start his day. But as I sit here typing this post, I have already fried my eggs, toasted my toast, chowed down and had two glasses of water. I made it almost all the way through my post before Kevin decided to wake up. It really MUST be April Fools Day.
I'm okay with it though, I am feeling fine about this April day.

Kevin's First Teeth Cleaning

Uncle Mo (Adam's Sister Mariah) is a dental assistant and she offered to clean Kevin's teeth, so we made an appointment for him on Tuesday.
I was worried he would freak out but as you can tell from the pictures......he was VERY chill.
He was such a BIG boy, Mommy was so proud of him.
He LOVED his new toothbrush
...he wouldn't even take it out for the dentist.
"Thanks Mo for cleaning my teethers."
He got a sugar free sucker from the Dentist and he was SO happy about it. It was so cute.

Silly Pictures

I don't really want to blog, so I am just posting pictures.
ENJOY

Shmoley Moley.

You might wonder what this picture is... I would call it the curse of the Endsley gene. If you look closely, you will see that Kevin has recieved, at a very young age, his FIRST Mole. I mean right now it's actually kinda cute, but I'm pretty sure the moles will try taking over his body pretty soon.
Like I said... it's the curse of the Endsley gene. I am not saying that I don't love my moley family, I am just saying it's a bit sad that it's hit my son so soon.

SICK...BABY SICK

So I don't know what it is but I have been much more sick with this pregnancy. I am always so so so HUNGRY, but as soon as I eat I feel naucious. It's horrible. But I must say this. I am not throwing up and I can still function so for that I am grateful. Plus I am having another baby YEAH. I have to say it is all worth it because of this marvolous miracle called "BABY". So I am actually okay with being sick if I get a baby out of it.

Did I Ever Tell You???

Did I ever tell you about my amazing sister. Well I have two amazing sisters but this story is particularly about Collette. She recently went through her 5th pregnancy. She has 4 kids under the age of 7, and she just just gave birth to a 5th baby, but what I am about to tell you has even more of a wow factor than you are thinking. She went through this whole thing for somebody else. She volunteered to be a surragote mother for her friends Michelle and Nigel. Imagine going through a whole pregnancy for someone else. I am just totally in awe of her sacrifice. She really is amazing.

This is the BEAUTIFUL BABY she popped out on Jan. 29th. Delaney is her name and cute is her game.


Here is Collette and her Husband Tony and the proud parents of Delaney, Michelle and Nigel.

We went out to dinner in Arizona to celebrate and we got a little goofy in the end. Here are all the girls in group.

Mom and Dad

Adam and I after we told them all the news that we are expecting our 2nd little Endsley.

It's Been 5 Years

It's been 5 eventful years since going into the MTC. My former miss. companion/friend blogged about it HERE. Check it out, with pictures and everything.

Neck Pillow Anyone?

All I can say is that my husband is one of the funniest guys ever. He had this neck rest pillow on his head for about an hour. When I asked him why, he gave me a smug look and just said..."because I like it". Every time I think about it I have to laugh, cuz WHO DOES THAT??? Anyway, I sure love his silliness.

Bunny

Many of you know the obsession Kevin has with his little blue bunny. He absolutely loves this thing and gets so excited whenever he sees it. No matter what the day, we can count on the bunny to cheer him up.
So you might wonder why I have posted a picture of a PINK bunny.
Well, we are in Arizona right now and we took the blue bunny to the Zoo with us on Friday, and came back without it. We don't know where it is, but we lost our blue bunny baby soother. I couldn't believe it, I am still SO SAD. I'm pretty sure I'm the one most affected by this, at least I thought I was until Sunday when Adam found a pink bunny just like Kevin's that my sister bought for her daughter Ella. His eyes got SO WIDE and he ran up to it with NO HESITATION and put the nose right in his mouth. Apparently the color of the bunny makes absolutely no difference.
So when you see Kevin next and he is cuddling up to his pink bunny, DON'T JUDGE, you would do it too.
