Happy 8 Months

He's grown up so fast...

Happy 8 months to my Peanut!!

Are.You.Ready?

There's a lot that has happened in the life of Ashlee since...oh, December.

I was last telling you how I had read Twilight..
Which by the way,
I am now on Breaking Dawn.
I can tell you, they are very good books, and you can't just read the first one... but I do have to say, this last one, is a little on the weird side...
Sorry Stephanie Meyers.

Aside from Twilight, way back in December,
our family had our yearly family Christmas party!
Not only did we get a visit from Santa...
but Jared, Amanda and Max were able to come down!!
Best Christmas party EV-ER.Max was fascinated with Santa's beard and glasses...
So much that he just wanted to pull them right off!


He is a cheeser for the camera!! It was like a magnet...
He could be crying and you could hold the camera up and he'd smile for it :D
Such a cutie.


My nieces and nephews loved to hold Max...
The boys would throw a ball up in the air and Max thought
that was just the most hilarious thing he ever did see,
he was giggling so hard...too cute!



We couldn't get enough of the smiles on camera...
I think he has thee cutest smile EV-ER!


I don't think you can kiss him enough!!
And by the look on his face... I don't think he minds ;)


That had to be the best Christmas present ever.

Christmas came and went fairly quick!
I had a great Christmas...
It was very low key...
Just me and my mom, then the whole fam later that evening,
with the most snow I think I've ever seen on Christmas Day.
It truly was a White Christmas!
We are very grateful Aly and Nick made it home safely in the blizzard they hit in Lehi, in which they were blessed with a good samariten snow plower to guide them home.

January.
The New Year.. New job.. New President..
I do not work at SISEL International anymore..
My last day was December 29 and I started a new job at Circle Pix on December 30!
I'm happy for this new year and what it has in store...
I have set goals this year that I plan to accomplish!

If you didn't notice...
There is a new president in office.
Hopefully he can bring some CHANGE to what is coming of this economy!

On another note...
January 10, 2009
My sweet, adorable, handsome little Max
was blessed and sealed for time and all eternity to the amazing Jared and Amanda.
This picture is priceless.
They are the cutest family EV-ER!!!
I had the opportunity of a life time to go to Max's blessing with my mom.
The Spirit was amazing.
Max looked like a little angel in all his white.
I was able to meet Jared's wonderful parents who
drove all the way from Ohio.
I was able to meet both Jared and Amanda's extended family,
who are all amazing!
I am so grateful for this opportunity and for having
Jared, Amanda and Max in my life.I love my Peanut.

You'd think my life was crazy.
I love you all.

Oh, Edward.

Now that I have read Twilight,

I have unrealistic expectations of men.

I finally finished it. I didn’t read it in two days like everyone else did. I simply kept it at work so I had something to do and read it when I had time. There were parts I wanted to vomit, but I will admit it was pretty good. I will read the rest of the books so I know what happens…well our waiter at IHOP told us what happens after we went and saw the movie,

he was a huge fan.

So, in the end, I didn’t hate it, but I’m not obsessing about it.

It’s a book.

A Day In History.

Today is a very important day...
Today my Peanut's adoption was finalized.

Aren't they the cutest family ev-er?

HAPPY 6 MONTHS!!!

No, I'm not mistaken. That is a 6 that I typed.

Max REALLY IS 6 months old today!

Can you believe it??

I can't.

Where did time go?

The adoption is going to be legalized in a few days...

You know what that means??

Max is getting to be blessed and sealed

to Jared and Amanda

for time and all eternity!

Look at those happy eyes and that happy smile...

It sure is a contagious smile.
You can't help but grin ear to ear when you look this handsome boy!

Those Cheekies!!!

I just want to kiss and squeeze those cheekies!!

Just 3 more days and this cutie patootie is going to be

6 MONTHS!!!

I love my Max.

(I stole this picture off of Amanda, Lori and Erin's, Look Pretty. Run Nasty. Blog ...Thanks!!)

I'm in love...

....with my new shampoo and conditioner that is! hee hee Aly

introduced me to this brand called Pureology.

Friends...

It's a must have! My hair has never been silkier!!!

Blogging Funk

Have you ever been in a funk?

Lately, I've been in a blogging funk.

I'm either working(--which they took personal internet priviledges away),

at school,

doing homework,

or just plain out being lazy.

I will get back to posting. I will post my Hee Haw pictures, my opinions on Twilight and the pictures of all the cereal we bought at Smiths Market--It was on SALE, but I will post it sooner or later. Just not tonight. I like blogging. I do. I want this funk to go away.

Tomorrow is December 1, 2008.

Where did the year go?

Thanksgiving came and went.

Do you remember when it was 1999 and 2000 was around the corner?

We thought (I did) the world was coming to an end?

We thought (I did) caos was going to happen?

Well, look where we are in 2008...almost 2009.

I never posted anything on Thanksgiving

of things I was thankful for!

• Jesus Christ - I am grateful to be blessed with him in my life.
• My family - They are the glue that keeps me together.
• Max - He is the bright spot in my life! I love him so much!
• Jared and Amanda - For giving Max the life he deserves.
• Ryan - You're thinking, "What the?" He is the #1 person I dislike the most but without him, Max would not be here.
• Pictures - They're priceless!

Well, That was my short little blog for tonight.
Stay tuned to a blog near you!

Happy 5 Months Max!!!

*SIGH* I love him.

What a 5 months it has been! Max has been such a champ

through everything! ...the NAM...his surgery...recovery....

Jared and Amanda have been truly amazing. I am sooo

very grateful for them!
