This week in action...

The one and only video that Ashlyn will actually sit down and watch....Meet the Orchestra.

A day at the Wild Animal Park with Kelly, Karson, Allison and Lilly!










One of my favorite things as a mother is to see Jaedyn and Ashlyn having fun together. Ashlyn's new favorite thing is to answer every question that you ask her with a quick nod of her head with a small "em", which is her way of saying "yes". Jaedyn has picked up on this and now converses with her...asking her everything from "are you hungry?" to "do you want to poop on the potty"? This particular evening Jaedyn asked her if she wanted some yogurt. :0)


Back in November I surprised Rob with some tickets to go hear one of his favorite composers, Debussy played by the SD Symphony. Rob and I had a fabulous dinner at the Yardhouse and relaxed in our symphony seats and heard Debussy's La Mer, a beautiful piece of music inspired by the ocean.

Ashlyn has turned into a monkey climbing on everything that she can. I often find her on this little bench in her room reading some of her favorite books.

Dance Party...#2

Catching up....

Thanks to Roberto, I can post some pictures again! Hooray! Ashlyn and Jaedyn are getting so big. It's ridiculous how time flies right bye and how I would just love to hit the stop growing button at times. I would love to hit pause right now...especially for Ashlyn...I just love this age. So expressive, full of giggles, and so much joy found in simple things.


A favorite activity...the "couch game".


My poor dad volunteered to paint our guest bathroom, our bedroom and our bathroom area in our bedroom. What a task and a half!!! He is finally finished and it all looks GREAT, GREAT, GREAT!



Ashlyn and Dad....computer hardware 101

Most nights at the Crocketts look like this....







Some lingering rain drops after some rain...

Boo hooo

Due to some technical difficulties with our computer I can't post any pictures for a little while. :(
But on the brighter side after at least a year of trying to convince Jaedyn that pooping on the toilet really is not that scary, my child is FINALLY completely potty trained. Can you say WOO HOO! I thought the day would never come. Now for the next one. :)

Mirror Mirror On the Wall

A short clip of Ashlyn watching herself on my video camera. What a clown and a cutie pie!

Swimming in Feb.? Yessum.

Just north of where we live there's a park with this super cool colorful mosaic maze sort of thing. We had a great time running around and playing hide and seek with Grammy.







We are lucky to have a lap pool which is heated all winter and nearby is a fabulous hot tub. So Jaedyn and Pop Pop got some exercise this week swimming around in the lap pool and decorating each other with bubbles in the hot tub. Next to drumming the pool is Jaedyn's second favorite activity so to say that he was excited is an understatement. I think he would probably spend an entire day jumping off the side into the pool if he could!

Gettin' down with some Church friends for a special musical playgroup!




Looking at military helicopters with great awe...

Taking a walk to Felicita River....

Lake Hodges

What's some rain without some rockin' boots!
