Update

We have since joined "Mom's Club." It's suppose to be activities and learning experiences for the kids, but I'm beginning to think it more for us moms to get out of the house and have adult conversation. The latest was fire safety. They had a fire truck and demonstration house for the kids. Ash didn't want her picture taken with the fire truck, so that's why she is not in it. One day we decided to go up south and drive around. We were gone about 4 hours and had to stop 6 different times just so the girls could go potty. No wonder I never go far or get anything accomplished in town. OK back to the story now. Peyton loved it because there were moo's (cows) everywhere and right beside the road. Ash enjoyed watching and seeing the hummingbirds up close. We dressed for summer thinking it was August so it would be warm. Boy were we wrong. Good thing I packed jackets, just in case, because we needed them. It was 54 degrees with about 30 mph winds on top of one of the hills. It was freezing cold.

Just a few pictures since the last time I blogged. Peyton and Ash are starting to play really well together. Don't get me wrong they still have there sisterly moments but they are getting fewer and farther in between. Peyton figured how to get in the stroller and if she says "Ash push" long enough then Ash will give in and push her.

One day I was doing laundry, turned around and my laundry basket was gone. When I spotted it Peyton was inside and Ash was covering her up with a blanket. Ash pushed her around for most of the afternoon. They have a toy room and bedrooms full of toys, but would rather play with the laundry basket. Maybe I shouldn't buy toys any more.

I have been asking Ashlee if she wants her ears pierced and she always says no. So the other day Ashlee's cousin Lilly got her ears pierced. We asked Lilly if it hurt and she said no. But Ashlee still didn't want her ears pierced. Then Lillys mom said they had lots of earrings to choose from, even Hello Kitty. After that she wanted them done. This was about 4 pm on Wednesday. Finally at 11 am Thursday I couldn't handle her asking "Can we go pierce my ears now." Needless to say more they were pierced by noon on Thursday. She was so brave and didn't cry. They wouldn't let her get Hello Kitty becuase it was her first piercing and they weren't surgical steel or 14 k. gold. So she got blue flowers to match Lilly's pink flowers.
