The Girls As of October 2005

Ok Grandma Sue inspired me to update my site when I saw her great blogspot! We do have a little bit of new news. I have decided to stop working and stay home with the girls full time! We prayed long and hard and after some time things have fallen into palce. I will be hard for a while but I think we will be ok. I know I love being with the girls. My first week was a little challenging though, Lexi got pretty sick and all I did for 3 and and half days was hold her. Ashlyn had had it the week before Lexi so needless to say we have not done much the last couple of weeks. Poor Ashlyn was getting pretty stir crazy! They are getting better although I still think it is going to put a damper on this years Halloween party's! For some reason other parents dont want their kids to get sick, Silly huh! Here is just a couple of pictures of the girls in October 2005. Oh the picture of all the papers on the floor is a funny story, The short version is Ashlyn got in the Library and pulled all our files out and Jesse found her standing in the drawer! that girl will get into anything!!! we Hope you are are well and hope to hear from you! Much love Chelsea

This is one of Ashlyn's place's she goes to talk on the phone. See she will get into anything!

She thought she was being funny getting into Mommy's things. This is one thing she likes to play with

Lexi is so good! but I think she is going to be alot like her sister!

She loves to sit and watch me in the Kitchen!

But she always makes sure to keep one eye on sister!!!

One good thing is she likes to brush her teeth before we go out!!

Update

I can't believe how time fly's! Lexi rolled over for the first time on Saturday 9/10/05. I thought maybe it was a fluke because she only did it once but sunday and Monday she was a rolling over fool~!! any time now that I put her on her back she goes right to her tummy! It's so fun to watch her grow up. Of corse Ashlyn is right there with her. I tried to put her shoes on her Sunday and They did not fit! She must have grown over night! Not too much else is going on. I have had a couple of Dr's appointments about my Thyroid. We will have to see how that comes out. They think it's going to fast so I may have to take medicine. hopfully not. Well I hope everyone is doing great, I would love to hear from everyone!

New Pictures

Just had the girls pictures done.

Lexi Blessing and Ashlyn being a "Big Sister"

Well I have said it before that that I could not get some good pictures of Lexi and that has stayed true. I have been able to get one or two here and there. It also is hard when I have a helper named Ashlyn. She loves her sister but she does it a little too much and makes Lexi mad... We blessed Lexi on July 31, 2005 so here are a couple of pictures of that. I have finally been able to put Ashlyn's hair in ponytails so you can see that too. We love you all and miss you!

Lexi and Ashlyn June 2005

Well I wish I could get a good picture of Lexi but every time I try she makes a face or the flash gets her upset so here is a couple that came out ok.

This was her first day at church

She is a great sleeper just like her dad. she is sleeping about 6 hours at night. I love her for that!

He was trying to take a nap with her but she wanted to be awake instead!

Ashlyn LOVES to play with daddy's hat's.

She also loves to ride the horse with grandpa.(grandma makes her wear that silly hat!!)

This is ashlyn's first time playing in the new sprinkelers. she had been playing in the rocks before the water came on and when her face got wet she tried to wipe her face off but got even more dirty! she loves the water though, she went stright for it before mommy could get her clothes off!

Jesse's Baby ( the backyard landscaping)

Well we finally after two years, have landscaped the backyard. All I can say is THANK GOODNESS!! Jesse said when we first moved in that all he wanted was cabinets for the garage and a nice backyard. well now he has both. I have to admit that I am excited too because now Ashlyn has a place to play. We put lots of grass and very nice trees back there. It will take a while for the trees to mature in to nice shade but that is ok.

Here is a look at it before (we forgot to take a before picture but here it is after it was trenched for the pipes):

This is looking from the patio stright out
