Fri-1-May-2009 - Have I mentioned I love my kids lately?
It's a photo-athon! For anyone with a slow connection, I apologize in advance.

My oldest and my youngest ...

Ahhhh! Who is attacking my knee?!?

The little girl is a bit smushed, but so happy!

The other day I sat in the back of the van for a trip. I was chilling between my boys, and realized I could get my camera out of my purse and take pictures of us! What a great idea! It was hysterically funny to Samuel ....

He was still giggling when I put him in a headlock for a picture with me!

I'm trying to do the same thing with Elijah, but the carseat is in the way. So I grab the top of his head for some unknown reason. He doesn't think this is that great.
And eventually just begins to scream in annoyance!

I was playing with Eden with the water bottle and got her to smile at me!

Taken this afternoon ...
My three. I was letting them watch something ... so they are actually just sitting there. That is very, very rare, LOL!
Below, Eden cracks up at her brother, because I think she thinks my voice is coming from him!
I finally have a way to show up in photos. I've made Samuel my official Mommy-ographer. I like his style!

Have a blessed weekend!

Mon-23-Mar-2009 - Pics
I love my crazy kids!
Today, I was on the phone briefly with my mom ... and Samuel marched by with an armload of his underwear. He went outside before I really had time to react. The wind is enough to almost decapitate you, but maybe he's so low to the ground it doesn't effect him as much?
I found him outside hanging them on his clothes line. I told him it was going to rain. He told me it wasn't.
His undies are out there flapping away in the wind.
And it didn't rain. It's a weird feeling when your 3yo judges the weather better than you can! LOL

This would be the downside to jig-saw puzzle rockers. And big brothers.

The Girl is almost two months old. And she can roll over. Oh, yes, she can! Samuel, at her age, could too. Does that mean she's going to be walking around 9 months as well? I wish she were a tiny bit easier to photograph!

And, I might as well add that she's smiling. True smiles. I know you probably won't believe the part about her rolling over, so I might as well throw in that she's smiling. This is the only hint of a smile I was able to photo, since I was on my tummy a long, long time playing with her and she was getting tired before I even thought about my camera. So she was tired an wobbly for all of my photos!

This explains why she rolls over; you see that head? It throws her off balance and over she goes! *smile*

Biggest Brother with "E-neen!"



It's really weird having three children. It probably doesn't help the surreal feeling that they all arrived within three years, ya know? I find it amusing that in my dreams, it takes a while to "add" a new person. It was almost two years before my husband showed up consistantly in my dreams. Elijah just showed up in his first dream last week. My sleep-world stays about one person behind! LOL

*Drumroll, please*
Anyone remember back when this blog was called "The Adventures of a Country Girl in the City?"
Well, I do! Anyway, we're trying to make a break for it. We're going to try to sell our house beginning next week. Finally. The country life is calling us, and we're ready ... may the Lord be gracious!
I'll try to keep everyone updated on how hopeful it seems.
Blessings,
~Ashley~

Wed-11-Mar-2009 - Pictures. Lots & lots of pictures!
I've taken the time to upload, resize, and now post a buncha pics. Enjoy!
Anytime I put her down, the boys are drawn to her like magnets.



Elijah is growing up waaaay too fast. He wears shoes now, and he does a "happy dance" when you put them on.

It used to be, that Jonathan and Samuel would walk out the door together and Elijah would look after them with longing. Now, he goes too. You can tell he's decided that he's so grown up now!

And I sit back and watch them go and hold my little girl close. As I once held my boys ... and then I had to let them go explore as they grew.
I'm so glad they aren't grown up completely yet.






I absolutely LOVE this picture of Elijah.

But I think this one shows his dizzy, busy character better. It's hard to catch this little guy in motion, so he always seems so thoughtful and calm in the pictures I take of him. So, here's a picture that describes him better in my opinion:

Samuels' Birthday Bike.

Hope you're having a great week!
