They had one baby named Kaylyn. For lunch she ate carrots. She had to go to bed. The next morning they lived happily ever after. The End.

THE CLOUDS WERE BLUE

BY ASHTON

Once upon a time they were a man with brown hair who went outside and he thought it was Spring, but it was Summer. He went outside and thought it was going to be cold, but it was hot so he knew that it was summer. He saw a man with a strawberry icecream cone. He saw a baby monkey who was on a tree. It was cussing at him. He said, “Stop it, Monkey. You are cussing. God doesn’t want you to cuss.” Then, he saw a grilla and he went to the zoo and found a quarter on the sidewalk and saw a shooting star and then he wished he had lots of stuff and super powers. Then he wished that it would come true but it didn’t. Then he saw someone who wished it and then it came true for them. Then he saw a spotted dog, and he thought it was his dog since it was just like his dog then he was wanting to buy a cat but he found a dog and then he stole a dog and never knew whose it was. Then he went to jail. He got out. Then the police says, “Never do something wrong.” He said, “Yes.” Then the sun came out and he was playing outside. His beautiful wife was getting tan on the trampoline. He had three kids. Their names were Jacob, Sam and Kaylyn. They had two boys and one girl. They had a baby that was named Kay. They was playing on the bouncy trampoline, and thought it was fun and played smack down. Then they asked their mom if they could have a piece of gum. Their mom said yes. They were so excited because they were going on an adventure to Thailand. Then they went off and went on a white airplane with three windows. The front was black and it had gray wings. Then, they landed off. Stuff was very cool there. There were frogs, snakes and lots of animals. Then they went back home. Their dad said, “Was that fun” to the kids and the kids said, “Yes.” They were very excited because they were going to go swimming and they were very cool because they thought they were cool and good at drawing and they wore cool shirts. They loved muscle shirts and blue jeans because their dad said they could climb up a tree, but they could not get down and their dad helped them down. One kid cried because he fell off and landed on the dirt. He got a crack on his eye. He got hurt on his leg. When he was going to sleep he fell off the bed and broke his collar bone. His dad took him to the hospital, but the doctors said, “You are very fine, but you have to have a thing on you.” They gave him the thing and the doctor said Bye and the kid said bye. He got a sticker from the doctor and it was a sticker of a doctor and he was excited because he was wanting to watch a show. His one brother and one sister woke up but the mom was awake and the baby brother was still asleep because he sleeps for about three hours. They were going on an adventure. They saw fire. They runned in their car. They were going to their house and then they went to their house and played with toys. The End.

It's time to update this blog with some cutie-tootie things my punkindoodle head is doing these days.

He is still sorting everything in sight. Legos, blocks, dinosaurs...you name it...they all get sorted into "families."

He is love with his underwear. We bought him some Lightening McQueen undies a few months ago. He told every passerby at Target that he was getting new "Wipey A Queen" underwear. His love of his underwear and obsession to put things where they belong means that when I'm doing laundry, after everything is sorted out on the table...if I leave the room for one minute, I will ALWAYS come back to see his pile of underwear missing. He walks by, sees them not in their place, then takes them to his room and puts them away. He has been known to sleep with a freshly washed pile of underwear. Weird! This summer, I was packing to go to Austin. I had everyone's clothing laid out on the table. After Aaron brought the suitcase out of the attic, I started loading everyone's clothes into it. Later on, I realized, I never put any of Ashton's underwear in the suitcase, even though I KNEW I had laid him some out on the table. That's when it hit me...I bet he put them away. He did! The boy's weirdness almost cost him to go commando for a week in Austin. That city would have been proud!

If someone sets one of their belongings down somewhere it doesn't belong, then goes to look for it later and finds it missing...we all know to go ask Ashton. He always puts things away and when asked why he moved something he will say so sweetly, "Because it doesn't go right there."

The other day Ashton asked Aaron why everyone in our whole town has a nose.

He's so silly!

I love how much he loves music. Joss Stone and Toby Mac are his favorite. When we get in the car he says, "Mom, will you put it on "you diggin on me now baby?" or "some kind of wunaful, don't you know he is yeah?" Love it!

Two night ago, I went to tuck Ashton into bed.

When I got to his bed, he looked up at me and said:

"I've got one thing a tell you."

I thought it was going to be that he loved me.

That's what his one thing usually is.

Instead, he said...

"I ate one booger."

I laughed and went on and on about how that was so nasty.

Then I said, "Was it gross?"

He looked at me, laughed and said, "Nope."

It reminded me of when Anson was little. He was a nose picker for sure. I wonder where he gets this from....cough....cough....Uncle Jason...

One time Lynsey was trying to talk Anson out of picking his nose and eating his boogers.

She said something like...

"Are you ever going to quit doing that?"

Very matter of factly Anson looked at her and said...

"No. I don't think I am."

Why are boys so gross?

If they weren't so darn sweet and cute, I'd sell em to the gypsies.

Who knew fingers up the nose were genetic?

Ashton's 4 Things:

I guess Ashton has heard Hayden say, "Mom, I've got four things to tell ya..."

Tonight Ashton said, "Mom, I got some things to tell you."

"I love you."

"I adore you."

"Your best mom ever."

"I want it to be HOPE Group."

And

"I want to go to the circus."

"Tomorrow"

So cute.

Do you want to know the only thing worse than moving and not having a washer and dryer for 48 hours?

When your child throws up in the kitchen onto his favorite blanket, that he simply must have in the bed with him...and he does this 30 minutes before nap time.

Pants.

I had to hand wash everything in the sink and then lay it outside to dry.

I pretended I was a cave woman.

That was the only thing fun about the whole thing.
