IF

IF....

I wasn't lazy with the putting pictures on the computer from the camera I would have something to actually post about.

I wasn't tired and wasn't as caught up in reading everybody's posts I would post something of significance.

I wasn't to busy I would do both of those things listed about.

My kitchen wasn't so stinking small I would want to cook (hopefully because I do like to cook, its just I only have ONE small piece of counter top)

My laundry room wasn't in my kitchen I would want be able to do more laundry

My house could stay clean for a whole 24 hours I would be ecstatic

I was I was a SUPER MOM~ I would be able to do all of the above, alas I am just Ashley and imperfect, and always going to be imperfect, I will try and I will try my hardest and when my hardest isn't enough I don't want to be judged because that is the only thing that we are asked to do, DO OUR BEST.

hello

I thought I should write something...

I have been really busy lately. Mostly crazy things that are happening to Derek's Car. It runs one day and won't start the next. Then we got it fixed and the next day Derek was in an accident (don't worry no one was hurt). A few days before that Logan came to visit us(or that is what we would like to think)! He is here for a couple weeks then goes back to school. I have had a car off and on for a few weeks....it is annoying but we are saving money cause I can't go to the store...but we also don't have very much food. OH WELL YOU LIVE AND LEARN...but no worries we do have a third car and my sister uses it for the summer which is over in like a week or so, so it will be great to have a more dependable car again....

I am tired :) Life is exhausting sometimes

Concert at the Park

I am all for finding free things to do and we used to go to concerts at the park once a summer with my Young Womens group...it was awesome :)

Don't know the band that was playing but it was fun when we went...hopefully we can go again soon!!

OUR FRIENDS!!!!

Derek's parent's dropped Kenzie off at our Friends Matt and Lindsey's :) It was awesome seeing them and wish that we could see them all of the time. Pretty much Lincoln and Kenzie LOVE eachother :)

Lincoln has some lady skills, he put his arm around Kenzie WITHOUT any prompting...it was AWESOME

Look over there Kenzie :)

ADORABLE

Lake Powell

We went to Lake Powell the First Week of July...it was pretty awesome. Logan (Derek's brother) came with us and we had a fun time. Grandma and Grandpa Cook watched Kenzie for us (which we won't go into to many details but I only had a break down a few times...I have never left Kenzie EVER) Any ways here are a few highlights:

Well this is going to be a post that I will want to have so I figured I would write it.

Last week was my birthday. It was fine...pretty insignificant pretty crappy...but that is fine...it made my day when my friend wrote a post about me...Thanks Rebecca, it really meant a lot, especially since you are the only one who called me...you can read it here.

Basically I didn't do anything but here is a few pictures...ps my cake was HUGE!!!!

ROCKIES GAME

Well its been a while, we have been busy! But because I want to blog everything it will come one at a time :)

So when my Brother had his homecoming, welcome home speech my Aunt Charlise and Uncle Greg came out for a few weeks and stayed with my parents. It was so awesome to see them, they live in North Carolina and we don't see them very often. While they were here we went to the Rockies Game. It was Kenzie's first game complete with outfit (of course) :)

It was a ton of fun, we sat on the opposite side of the stadium as them BUT GOT A GREAT PICTURE...go camera! Kenzie was pretty good considering this was her first game and she doesn't like sitting on people's laps HAHA
