Gassing up the car, sssssssssss

I took the kids to the museum(sounds boring but it's cool) for Jaden's 3rd birthday activity. It was our first time there and it was awesome. I thought it was so cool I bought a pass...I later had buyers remorse, so I have to use it now so I don't waste my money. It is just that you need to get up all your energy to pack the kids and the million items that go with them to drive dowtown and pay for parking and have to leave with them screaming because they want to sleep there. That kind of remorse- it is all part of the gig though. I realized I can't be cleaning or "doing something" all the time or before you know it, the kids all the sudden seem a little bit older than last time you checked. You know? Somedays I just have to remember to push slow on lifes remote and really watch them...

Hellloooo out there!

ok, Angie wanted me to create this blog. I keep saying yea yea ok. so I finally am attempting this before the kids wake up from their naps. I have two kids Jaden who just turned 3 yesterday
and Ashli who is 16 months. I am thinking about having one more but I have to have Cody in on it...which he is not...So maybe next year? We'll see. I married Cody Ahlquist (we both went to Murray High) and have been married for 9 years in January- that sounds long, but it has flown by! We live in WVC, Utah- the west side sounds bad, but we think it is fabulous so far. We built a home and just moved in this May, it is fun. We finally finished the front yard and now I can park in the garage for the first time ever- oh my who knew a garage could be so exciting? ha ha. I will post pics of our house- we did a lot of the work ourselves to save money.

We took the kids to raging waters a week before they put the ban on swimming. Jaden got so cold his lips were blue so we got in the hot tub. It was fun though

Here is Jaden and me at my sisters wedding- a little boy in a tux can't get any cuter!

Here is Cody and my little brother Darrin. Do you remember Cody? He has mellowed out...somedays...
Jaden was trying to play this piano and the reception place got irritated with him- just calm down people! He is the typical wild toddler of course.

Here is sissy cat Ashli I just love this swim suit! She got curls- from the grandparents I guess and her hair is getting lighter and lighter all the time. I am hoping for blond of course.

Here is my sister Jessica and my Jaden- he was the ring bearer and during the ceremony he said, "I have to go pottttyyyy!" Everyone laughed. It was cute.

Ashli just woke up so no more blogging for me...

We'll be talking to yall
