DAT COMPLETED HOORAY!!!!

I cannot explain the happiness I felt yesterday when Tyler called me with the good news......not only was his DAT test over, but he also got a good grade! HOOOORRRAAAHHHH!!!! The biggest smile overtook my face, and I could not stop my body from jumping up and down, I was extatic!!!! Tyler has studied so hard for so long, he definitely deserved to do well. This morning when I woke up I had a smile on my face, I get my husband, my best friend, my buddy back! Let's go swimming, was the second thing I thought ha! And we did, and it was amazing! Yes, it is finally warm enough to go swimming in Logan, that's right!

NEW MOON * I AM TOO EXCITED!!!!

Okay I know, I know what you are all thinking....chill out Kimberly it doesn't come out till November 21, I just can't help myself. I am obsessed!!! I would just like to say that I am so glad there is a new director and that the movie better be BETTER than Twilight! Don't get me wrong fellow Twilight lovers, I loved the movie and all of its korny sayings ("spider monkey"); however, I know that the movie did not do the book justice. I only hope that New Moon can at least contend with it. And just so everyone knows, I am for team Edward!

NOT THE DAT AGAIN!!!!

Okay so I thought I would let everyone know what is currently going on in the Bradshaw world; Tyler is studying everyday, for a minimum of 6 hours a day, and has been for about a month now, to help himself prepare for the DAT! I am so proud of him, and it is times like these that I am glad I get to take care of Ashlyn. I had doubts before, but I am 100% positive now that I have the better end of the stick ha. He takes the DAT on May 28th, if all goes as planned, so wish him luck!

Ashlyn will be 8 months on Memorial Day, I am so caught off guard by how fast she is growing up. I didn't really believe the people that told me to cherish every moment with her because they grow up so fast, well you can go ahead and say you told me so! I love her to so much! I have kinda been bitter for a long time, wondering why I got pregnant before I was ready, this was not part of the plan. I now know that this was part of Heavenly Father's plan, he has sent me an angel to rescue me, and that is exactly what she has done . I could not imagine life without her. Love you Ashlyn!


















I am laughing so hard right now, this picture of Ashlyn is so funny to me. If you are wondering how she grew so much hair, and how any child could be this beautiful, I will let you in on a little secret. It is called photo shop ha. Tyler took this picture on his phone the other day, and just a few clicks later Ashlyn had long flowing hair just like her momma ha! I hope you like!

SLACKER

Okay I know I have been slacking on updating my blog, I have been crazy busy lately being gone from my house and visiting family. I am currently at my sister, Becky's house visiting her so Tyler will be able to focus on studying for the DAT. I miss him like crazy, but just one more day...yeah!

It is amazing how fast Ashlyn learns, I feel like as a parent/teacher I can barely keep up. I feel like I just get the hang of her moods, or I finally get her on a schedule and she changes it. She is such a girl, always changing her mind about what she wants. And she is sassy, I love it, she definitely gets that from her momma. I will post pictures when I get home because I forgot my camera cord to hook up to the computer; but I thought I would update everyone on what Ashlyn is doing now.

There is so much more that she likes and dislikes, just not enough time. We are best buds, and are having a blast! I will post pics soon!
