Doll Hoarder

Ashlyn can't have enough dolls in her arms when she plays at nursery. She has only been legal to attend for 2 weeks but we slipped in a few times before the big 1-8 months cause we (I) was bored of wandering the halls with her. Ever since that first visit she has been fixated on the enormous doll basket that sits atop the cabinet. It is piled high with at least 15 dolls and she does her best to get her arms around each and every one..all at the same time. She is obsessed. 

Little Man

Eggs, juice & paper. Even though he can't read he is a mini-man in training. 

Drama Queen

Whenever someone says hi to Ashlyn and she's not feeling social (almost always), she will face-plant herself right on the floor and start bawling. Luckily this was at church on the semi-soft carpet. A few days ago, it was on the garage floor where she had a run-in with Uncle Bryce. I'm surprised she hasn't had more bruising on her forehead from it. She doesn't discriminate where she will plop herself down in protest like she does who she will socialize with. I think she inherited the shy gene from me. 

Melt My Heart

It just does not get any more adorable than this.


Well...maybe it does

Happy Father's Day

One of my favorite things about Father's Day is the cute things the kids bring home from primary. I love it when they get to fill in the blank like this. Their answers always make me smile. So even though I'm not a father, I get to enjoy this special treat. 

This is the pile of stuff Adam pulled out of his pockets before he went up to the stage to sing his Father's Day songs during sacrament. I can't believe I didn't notice bulging pockets as we walked into church. Not pictured is a juice box. I confiscated that as soon as he pulled it out. 

Happy Father's Day to my sweet husband who does an amazing job taking care of our family. Happy Father's Day to both our fathers! We love you so much and are so grateful to be able to have such special men to call DAD. 

Sextuplets

Our bunnies are at it again. In April they had a litter of 5 bunnies. About a month later she had more. We have been looking for them for almost 2 weeks now since I discovered she was no longer pregnant. We haven't had any luck. We (Trevor) even undid 2 boards in our shed and have searched under them multiple times. I was beginning to wonder if I was wrong, but I knew I had felt a baby squirming in her belly just days before she had them. The day before she had them I picked her up and she was huge. The next day I picked her up and she was definitely not as big as she was just the day before. This morning Trevor went into the shed after she disappeared underneath it. The boards are still up so be found her in the dirt inside. She was moving dirt around. She would dig and then push it away from where she was digging. After a few minutes of this, a baby kind of got caught in her digging and came out with the dirt she was flicking behind her. I was so excited we had finally found her nest! Trevor reached into the hole and started hanging me babies. There are 6. 4 black (2 black & white mix and 2 mostly black with lighter fur on their bellies), 1 gray & white & 1 pure white. They looked like their eyes had just opened. They are so adorable! We snapped a few pictures and stuck them back in the hole so she could nurse them. This is our view when she got in the hole. 

This is her little rear sticking out. She got them all nursed and safely buried them back up. After she was done, you couldn't even tell she had dug a hole there. 

The boys were so excited and wanted to see them. We told them we aren't digging them out so they will have to wait for her to unearth them again at feeding time. They are super excited and can hardly wait to meet the new arrivals. What exactly are we going to do with all these baby bunnies?? We are still trying to figure that out! But we are having a blast with the journey!

Simple Joys

Ashlyn has discovered the joy of kicking back and watching a movie. I love it when they can sit still for a few minutes! Her movie of choice is any Baby Einstein. When I ask if she wants to watch a movie she will go sit right in that spot and stare at the tv expectantly waiting for me to turn it on for her. It is so fun when they start being able to communicate!
