Shumway Family Reunion 2011

We went to Vernal this past weekend for my family reunion. It was great to catch up with family that we don't see very often. We went to The Green Lantern, the lake, had family dinners, and just spent time together.

There's nothing like propping your leg up to help you sleep better.

Also... I just thought this picture was so adorable. Her hair is a little crazy because she was playing peek-a-boo with my nieces sweater.

My Girlie

So I have never really posted about Asay and her cute personality and milestones. So I thought I would post a few.

Asay LOVES Bauer. Bauer does NOT love Asay. He gets her laughing harder then anything else. He knocks her down... she laughs, he gets fed up and gives a warning nip... she laughs, he hides in another room... she finds him and laughs. She also recently found out how much she likes my sister's cat Rambo. He beat the crap out of her in like two seconds (like only cats can) and she still follows him around.

She can tell you what a kitty and a doggie say. When she sees a cat she meows. Sometimes she says ta tu (thank you) at the appropriate time. When she throws a fit or gets mad she yells MOM instead of mama. We do a lot of ignoring these days because she has started throwing little fits. She thinks using a cup is about the coolest thing ever. She brings me her shoes because she wants me to put them on her. She loves walking around in my shoes or TJ's. She loves putting bracelets on or anything that could pass as a bracelet. She loves making piles and putting things in other things. Sometimes I am shocked at what she fits into other things.

She loves beans, corn, any pasta, brownies, and cookies. She does not love fruit but she does love fruit leathers. She prefers water to juice. She has vanilla wafers every day. We do not run out. It would be the end of me.

She loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! She loves shows that sing the whole time. She loves Baby Signing Time but the only sign she does is dog. I love that she is finally old enough that she likes to watch shows in the car when we travel. It has made traveling so much easier.

She loves being outside. She loves jumping on the tramp or going down the slide at the park. When she gets nervous she does this smile that only shows her bottom front two teeth.

I feel like I have been writing forever and I could go on forever. I won't though.

My niece had a dance competition at Lagoon this past weekend. It was fun to watch her and she did great:) I have not been this excited to go to Lagoon in a long time. I was nervous that Asay might not be big enough to ride many rides but I was so wrong. She was able to ride a ton. She had a blast. She got nervous a couple of times but always relaxed. It was so weird to just sit back and watch her do something all by herself. I am so proud of my big girl:)

Riding the train. Pointing at the deer. She was excited to see the deer cause she shares a room with one of daddy's deer mounts. She says hi to it all the time (has to pet its nose). Don't judge me:)

Not the greatest picture of my girlie but I thought it was still super cute.

Riding the miniature Tidal Wave ride with dad.

She thought this little drinking fountain was about the coolest thing ever.

Waiting for the merry-go-round to start.

She was so cute on the boat ride. She was driving and ringing the bell. She has never done anything like that so it was super cute for TJ and me to watch.

Happy Mothers Day to all you moms out there:)

Spring

We went to baby animal days a couple of weeks ago with Will and Tiarra. It was so fun and cute to see Asay with all the animals. She LOVED the goats. I think she thought they were dogs.

Hanging out with Ryann.

She was trying to give the goat hay.


Giving the baby duck a kiss.

The Mortons go camping every Easter. We just went up for the day. We went a super fun hike. We took little kids and dogs and a pregnant Elissa so it was a bit crazy.

I wish you could really see Asay's little mischievous smile. She is starting to make the cutest and funniest faces.

Apparently she likes Black Eyed Peas. She always throws off headphones when we put them on her but this time she just sat and listened.

25th Day

25th Day- What would be found in my bag/purse

So I am going to add diaper bag to the mix. You will find my two wallets(not because I have so much money but because I haven't transferred everything over yet), phone, keys, camera, zune and headphones, chapstick, pens, tampons, bobby pins, extra hair tie, my little pharmaceutical stash(advil, tylenol, acid reducer, and motion sickness meds, teething tablets), Asay's medical records(weird I know) sippee full of water, diapers, wipes, toys, cheerios, gold fish, a headband Asay wore last week (that I just knew I had lost), sunblock, desitin, and hand sanitizer.
