A Fairy is Born....

It is said that the first time a baby laughs a fairy's life takes flight.

Last night I was playing with Ashton on the floor and he started to laugh. I told Kevin to hurry and get the camera. We were only able to record a little bit of it. I love when babies first laugh, it's so cute, I can't help but laugh myself.

Okay one more thing....

We have been getting a lot of comments about how much Ashton looks like Ethan and Izzy. Here they all are at around the same age.

Which one of these two cuties do you think Ashton looks more like?

EthanIsabel

Ashton
I think that all three look a lot alike.

Here are my little cookie cutter kids all together. Aren't they just so cute!

If you look really close you can see one difference. Ashton has blue eyes....yes blue! We aren't sure if he will keep them. So far they haven't changed. Kevin is happy that one of his kids might have his beautiful blues.

Ashton

Ashton is going to be three months next week and I wanted to show you what he has been up to.

Here is Ashton sleeping, so sweetly. I just love how cute he is when he is all snuggled in.

Ashton was 10 weeks in this video, he just loves to talk to us. He has been so fun.

Super Cute Onesies!

I really wanted to show off these super cute onesies my sister Holly made for Ashton. I just love them. All I can say is that she has talent. Thanks Sis!

Here is a close up, and YES a smile! I was able to catch a smile on camera. It is hard at this age, they don't say "cheese" quite yet.

I just love the detail of this elephant.....Holls you are amazing!

Ashton is now 6 weeks old. I really can't believe how the time is flying by. I have to say with him being our last, I really am treasuring all the little moments.

Easter....Oh Boy!

We had a really fun Easter this year. It started with our tradition of coloring the eggs. Which is always a crazy affair. Every year I kick myself for leaving it to the last minute, but I think they turned out just fine. The kids were really excited to get their baskets ready for the Easter bunny. As you can see Cole is beside himself with excitement.

Ashton was tired and wanting his mommy.....but he was trying to support his sibs in the fun.

After all the excitement and all the candy, we had to get ready for 9am church. Needless to say it was a mad rush. We are still trying to pull off this 6 person family thing. Here are the kids in their Easter best.

Ashton's Blessing

This past Sunday we blessed our new baby Ashton. It was a busy weekend, full of family and fun. We were blessed to have a few of our family members join us. We live so far away it is hard for people to travel so we are thankful to those who made the trip.

It was a great day! Kevin gave Ashton a wonderful blessing. We had a yummy lunch afterwords. Here are a few pictures from the day....

Kevin and Ashton...He cried for these photos. I can't complain, he did sleep pretty much the rest of the day.

Ethan and Izzie really loved the chocolate cake. Izzie is asking for one more.

Izzie trying to talk Grandma and Grandpa J into that piece of cake.

Sallie and Micah hanging out on the couch. Their son Matai...he is a cutie!

My good friends Jen and Liz stopped by to say Hi!

It was a really fun day! Thanks to all who came and made it so special.

Silly Hats

Cole and Ashton

Ashton and Isabel

The other night Isabel was into wearing hats. She thought Ashton should wear one too.

I think this is the start of many more years of playing dress up with your sister....sorry Ashton.

Welcome Little Ashton

What a Cutie!

We wanted to start our new blog welcoming our newest member of the family.....

Ashton James Bodily

He has been here for a few weeks now and everyone is adjusting to all the changes. Right now it is a lot of crazy, sleepless nights and trying to keep up with the kids during the day. Needless to say, it is a challenge and I'm tired! However, I'm sure it will get better in time.

Anyway....

This Blog thing is new to me, so I hope I can pull it off. Wish me luck!
