Potty Training

Ashley will probably be so mad at me in a few years for posting these pictures, but they were too cute not to post. We have been working a bit on potty training, and she has been doing pretty well for how young she is. Her little potty has a song that plays once she goes potty. She was so excited to hear it for the first time.

Halloween

Yes, I continue to be really behind on my posts. Halloween was much more fun this year, because Ashley was old enough to understand the holiday and actually trick or treat. Daycare has a Halloween parade, so Chris and I dropped her off together so we could see all of the kids in their costumes. We had to get a picture of her with her teacher Miss Ada. She loves her so much. Normally a few people at work dress up, and since I was 8 months pregnant, I couldn't find any costumes that would fit me, so I wore a wig and witch hat.

Halloween night we took Ashley to the ward trunk or treat party. It took a few minutes to catch on to the idea that you say trick or treat, and they give you candy. Once she understood, she was a pro! She got a whole bucket of candy by the time the trunk or treat was over. After the party, we spent the remainder of the evening at my friend Kathy's house, who cooked us yummy chili. Ashley had a blast playing with Kathy's grandkids.

Ashley Turns 2

I'm only a month late posting her birthday pictures! One of Ashley's favorite shows is Dora the Explorer, so I decided we would have a DOra party for her. We started out at a Sugarhouse BBQ for dinner, and then we took Ashley to the Boo Yard Barn which is at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, UT. They had a petting zoo and fun Halloween games for the kids to play. Ashley loves animals and her favorite part was going around to each pen to pet and feed them. After leaving Barn Yard Boo, we headed home so we could have cake and ice cream and so she could open her presents. Ashley got a new baby doll and stroller, and an Elmo Live. That night before going to bed, she had to make sure that Elmo and her new baby were in bed with her, because she wouldn't go to sleep without them! Happy Birthday Ashley.
