Baby fix

For everyone back home dying to see precious Hannah Bear...I promised I would deliver. She is a million times better in person....I'm honestly in love. I hope you all enjoy!

Dear Father Time:

This is a formal request. Please, please, please push the hours along just a tad faster! How can hours feel like days and days feel like fortnights? Thanksgiving is almost here and I want to see little miss Hannah, set out on the long awaited Harley ride, and stuff myself until I'm in pain. For now I suppose I will have to sit here and be impatient.........

More Baby

Here are a couple more pictures of Hannah that I managed to coax out of Allen. I can't wait to get down there and take a million pictures of her.

Hannah Leigh Heiner

Take a look at this precious new addition to our world. Today Allen and Bekah had their first child, Hannah Leigh Heiner, weighing in at 7lbs 8oz and 17 inches long. I cannot wait to see this adorable baby girl and let her know who her most favorite Aunt is. :) I bought her "The Monster at the End of This Book" I think that basically gaurantees me the #1 spot. Congrats you two, we are all so happy for you!
P.S......Doesn't Bekah look great. I don't look that good after a night of good sleep, let alone an entire day of labor.

You just had to be there...

You know those stories that are so funny you have to tell them, but you have to be an eye witness to fully understand? That was our trip to Wyo this weekend. Rather than, "We went bowling, we ate popcorn, etc..." I'll tell you about the things that make me laugh, and remind me time and time again of not only why I love my family so much, but where it comes from. Where shall I start...

My grandma found a book in her garage called "The Popup Book of Phobias" it's ironically clever. You turn the page and see yourself peering down from the roof of a sky scraper, or to find an enormous spider or dentists drill bursting off the pages. And while we're speaking about irony, about halfway through the book I discovered that an earwig had fallen out of one of the pages and on the the waistband of my sweatpants. I threw the book of phobias onto the floor and battled it out with my own. Swatting at the area where the nasty creature had been spotted and screaming "Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!" When I couldn't see where it landed I assumed it ended up in my pants, so then had to make sure my britches were clear. Yes, it was quite ironic.

As we were eating lunch at Tootsies Pizza with my dad and my brother's we were making fun of Justis' hair which desperately needs to be cut. Tre' cracked one of his usual hysterics and just as we finished laughing about it, sweet Kelby looks at me and in the most geniune and sincere tone of voice politely asks me, "Did you get that one, Ash?" So sweet....and such a slam. We all laughed so hard because he had absolutely no idea what was funny about his genuine concern. I actually cried I was laughing so hard.

And for the quote of the weekend:
After a couple rounds of bowling we started an intense round of rotating air hockey. My turn was up and I was going to put an end to Tre's scoring streak. It lasted all of one second and the puck slid right in my goal with little or no resistance. At my dissapointment Tre' says, "My favorite is beating little girls." haha....of course it is Tre'.

Friday 13

This morning as I was in the middle of washing my hair I heard a "Oh No! No! No!" and thought to myself, "Hmm, wonder what happened?" Some time later Kelly comes in and says, "So today is definitely Friday the 13th, The coconut creame pie fell out of the fridge, hit the bottom shelf, and landed all over the floor....then I stepped in it." Now, as devistating as the loss of coconut cream pie may be, all I could do was laugh and say, "Well, at least you know how the rest of your day is going to go." And that is just how our day has carried on. Hope your day gets better love!

More fun

Just some more Christmas fun I've been having. Made this pillow out of my material scraps. It's getting closer and I can't wait to get a tree in my house!

Ranger Dog

We bought Ted this adorable jacket on Saturday and he just loves it. It's just way too cute on him. He looks like a little rescue dog or something. I think I'm going to have way too much fun dressing up my dog. He's his Momma's Boysen Doggins!

Finally...

My crock pot and I have become friends and at last I'm starting to get the hang of the domestic world. I managed to make some decent Italian chicken & Potatoes, a tender delicious roast, and some surprisingly good tortilla soup. I'm starting to enjoy it rather than be injured when I cook. There's hope for me yet!
