Random stuff

so not a lot going on now, just taking care of the kids and such. But I do have to post for those of you who don't do facebook, I QUIT DRINKING SODA!! This was such a hard thing for me to do, but moving out here to a town of nothing has made me a much healthier person. There is no where to go out to eat, so we rarely do, and now that i am running again I feel so much healthier, and quiting feels even better. I hope that I never go back to drinking my beloved Diet Dr. Pepper again, because I do love the way i feel even if it is just in my mind.  There are 3 other girls here who are running with me and we are training for the Moab Half Marathon in March. It's fun to have  a little group to run with and makes it go by fast. Things are going good here, Jeff's work is getting busier by the month so we are happy about that. Its still quite the adjustment for me, why can't they just have a target and and old navy or Gap. Where am I supposed to buy my kids clothes?? Anyway enough ranting.

Ashlie's parties

Here is Ashlie at her party with her friends. She wanted to have a costume party so all of the littel kids came in them. It was like halloween all over again. We just had fun playing games and eating cake and opening presents. The kids had a good time just playing in the basement for a while to.

Here is Ashlie on her actuall birthday. One thing that she asked for that we had to make sure and get her was roses. It was so cute! She got a lot of fun toys babies and dogs and barbies, clothes, purse, make-up, a camera which she has been begging us for ever, art stuff, jewlery, gift cards and a little money. Man 5 year olds are spoiled, but I love it!
