BUSY BUSY

Well hey fellow blog viewers, sorry I have been slow to update my blog again, I have been traveling. For Tyler's break, in between trimesters, we went to Utah to visit his family. It was so much fun we played a lot and went boating, camping, shopping, and traveled to his Grandparents cabin where we had lots of fun. It was a lot of fun to celebrate Tyler and my 5 year anniversary of when we first met there. Thanks again Grandparents we had so much fun!!!!









































After we got back I was only home for a few days before Ashlyn and I were back on the airplane flying to Arizona to visit my two oldest sisters. We were there for 2 weeks and had tons of fun. We went and got manicures, pedicures, played at the splash park, went on train rides, and got to know each other better which was definitely needed and a long time coming.













When Ashlyn and I got home it was time to prepare for Ashlyn's birthday party. It was extremely stressful considering that I only had a few days to design a cake for her and finish b-day shopping. It was so much fun though. I decided to make her an underwater themed cake and with some help from my good friend Micah I was able to finish everything. My parents, and three sisters that live here were able to com as well as my friends. Thanks again everyone for the fun presents Ashlyn received.

TYLER'S 27th BIRTHDAY

Alright well I know its kinda late but I just wanted yall to know that Tyler had the best birthday ever (well since we have been married) on July 13th. He has just been working soooo hard at school, and has been such a good student, husband, and father and I felt like rewarding him for it. I had been saving up and got him a new electric guitar, xbox 360, and guitar hero. What a lucky guy. His Christmas this year won't be so lucky, but oh well. My neice, Jenna and some of our friends were there to celebrate his birthday with us. We went out to Genghi's Grill(Mongolian Stir-Fry) it was delicious and then came home for some awesome cake and ice cream. I made white cake with a strawberry filling. Hope you had an awesome babe you deserved it.

LOVES AVOCADOS

Ashlyn just can't get enough of the Avocados!!!! She decided it would be pretty to paint herself with them too! She's too cute!













I had to post this pic too, they are so cute together. Ashlyn is always curious to what Jack is doing. They are best buds.

POTTY TRAINING

Well, I decided it was potty training time when I was giving Ashlyn a bath the other day and she said, "mama poo poo". I was busy cleaning the sink in the bathroom and thought since I had just barely changed her poopy diaper before putting her in the bath tub, that that must be what she was talking about. Moments later I heard her say "ewwww mama poo poo". I turn around...and sure enough there were a few floaters bumping into her toys. It was so disgusting!!! So I hurry and call Tyler in to help me clean stuff up and he takes Ashlyn and stands her on the sink to clean her up, then sure enough she says "tee tee"....and one second later what did she do? That's right all over the sink I had just barely cleaned. It was an exciting day I'll tell you that alright!

JUNE BIRTHDAYS

Okay I know that this post is really late but I just have been pretty busy lately and I really wanted to post these pics of Ashlyn, she was being so cute this day.

In my family, we have tons of June birthdays and mine is one of them. We did a big celebration at my sister Jewel's house for all the June b-days. They got out the slip-n-slide for the little kids to play in and Ashlyn was having a blast playing in the water. She even got to pet there chickens. So fun.









































I got the best birthday present ever when I opened my present from Tyler, he gave me Wicked tickets, it was even better when I learned he was going to accompany me. We went the following weekend and it was a blast.

HUMIDITY!!!!!

Well, my fellow bloggers all I can say is sorry that I am a slacker! I don't know why it has been so hard for me to update my blog lately, I used to be so good at it. But don't worry I am determined to be better.



Bradshaw News:


Tyler finished tri 1 with exceptional grades as always (we are so proud of you Ty, thanks for all the hard work!). He has now started tri 2....only 8 more tri's yeah!!!! He recently got to cut up his first cadaver, props to him for not passing out, I know I would have ha! He is absolutely loving it, we made good decision coming here!

Ashlyn and I are having fun as usual. I am just barely starting to get over a little flu bug that I have had for about a week now. Yeah! So far Ashlyn and I have been to the Dallas Zoo, and Fort Worth Zoo with my family and Tyler's mom flew down to visit for a week and we went to the Fort Worth zoo with her. It was so much fun. Ashlyn's favorite part besides seeing the inside of a Hippo's mouth, was feeding the birds. It was so cool, you pay $1 and get a popsicle stick with bird seed on it, and you get to enter the bird cages. So many birds were flying around our heads it was definitely the funniest experience we have had thus far. We also went to the Bodies Exhibit while Tyler's mother was down visiting and it was awesome. Thanks Becky for taking us! It was a little disturbing and morbid, but at the same time extremely educational. I wish I would have had a babysitter for Ashlyn then I would have had a chance to enjoy it a little more. Tyler really loved it, considering he was about to to start his 2nd trimester where they would be dissecting cadavers it was something he really wanted to see and learn about. I would definitely go again though, I recommend it!








Recently, Tyler and I have come to an agreement that we both wanted to live a healthier life, and set a good example for Ashlyn. So Tyler and I agreed to start running, if able, everyday. Or at least work out for 30 minutes everyday. We have almost completely stopped eating out, not that we did it a lot anyways but we now only eat out maybe once a week or every other week. All whole grains, low calorie in take, etc. pretty much be healthy we said. Since we started about a little over a month ago, Tyler has already lost a few pounds.......me on the other hand nothing. What the crap, I know right, that is exactly what I was thinking! One day I weight 5 lbs lighter, the next 5 lbs. heavier. Who knows, I feel better about myself though that's a plus right? We have been running about 2-3 miles a day. I am so proud of us!!!




Ashlyn is growing so fast, and is way smart. She can say way over 150 words (I lost count once I hit 150 ha). She is running, jumping, climbing, singing, twirling, dancing, etc. She is my little sweetheart! I have truly been blessed by my Heavenly Father with this sweet little Angel. She just loves on me and snuggles me all the time, she is just what I needed and currently need. Stay as sweet as you are never change dear!!!!

CAUGHT IN ACTION

I'll keep this short and sweet. I walked into Ashlyn's room the other day and guess where I found her.............?











She is so stinkin' cute, instead of rushing to save her, I risked it all on a pursuit to capture the perfect picture ha.












Oh and the next day guess where I found her? I had let her out on the balcony and turned around to get Jack some dog food. When I turned back around I found her popping a squat in Jack's chair. Let's just say there was some major disinfecting that took place after that ha. She even brought her snacks into the chair and was eating so gross!
























She is definitely a climber now, yeah, it's just so exciting for everyone involved! jk
