I Couldn't Resist!

Ok, so for those of you who have seen our family blog, you have probably already seen this picture, but I couldn't resist posting this on my own blog... to explain the picutre, my brother in law Deven had his laptop over at our house on Easter and he has a photo program that uses special effects to distort the pictures his computer camera shows. The little boys were laughing so hard and as soon as my mom walked over to the computer, Deven took the picutre! She hates it but it was so funny I couldn't help myself!!!

Funny Funny Grandma, SO MUCH FUN....

So as most of you know, I am a home-health aide for my Grandma. If you have never taken care of a grandparent wih alzheimer's, you are missing out! (hahaha) But honestly, my grandma is a sweetheart, with the exception that she hits, bites, pinches, scratches, kicks, spits, and screams when I make her do things such as take a shower or, well,... stand up.
A funny thing happened yesterday... My mom went with me to Grandma's to get her out of bed and ready for the day because lately she has been too hard to do it myself. We got down there and Grandma was in bed, so Mom woke her up and we got her up and dressed and ready for the day, with much difficulty might I add, she was keeping her jaw clenched and her eyes shut. Grandma was very out of it and not making any sense, which was normal for her lately, but this just seemed weird... So i kept saying "Grandma," waiting for an answer.... Never got one... Then I said "Grandma, Grandma, talk to me, it's Ashley" Well, you know she answered me then, she meant business by saying "WHAT??!!??!!" in a very mean tone, then I said "Well, hey, there ya are, thats the Grandma I know and love" (my mom was juat laughing at this point) and Grandma muttered under her breath "Oh shut up".
I tell ya, she is so stinking cute, even when she is being a little meanie and making my job difficult, I can't help but love her! (MORE STORIES TO COME IF SOMETHING ELSE FUNNY HAPPENS WITH HER)

Keagie and Ash

Ok, so I HAD to put this cute picture of my niece Keagan with me for you all to see! She is so cute and we get long very well because of our hair color, (hahaha). Right after that picture was taken, Keagan suddenly thought she had to try to eat my chin and I had baby drool all over my chin like you wouldn't believe! (Unless you have had a 5 month old, then you probably do understand!)

Ch-ch-ch-CHANGES!

TODAY I TOOK THE PLUNGE! I CUT MY HAIR!
BEFORE THE CUT!

AFTER THE CUT!

For those of you who don't know, I have been going to the same hair stylist since I was 13 years old and I have loved him! I have never had a problem going in and saying "Mark, do whatever you want!", and not loving it! The only problem is that Mark is quite expensive and i can't afford him right now, but i did need a hair cut! Because of my lovely stubborn-ness, it has been almost 2 years since I got my hair cut, the last time I went to Mark. So my sister Andrea and her friend Ashleigh convinced me to go and get my hair cut by Ashleigh's niece Brittany. So I did it, although I was experiencing MAJOR "new-stylist anxiety". It was not as traumatic as I thought it would be, after all it is just hair, but let's just say it was a good thing I did not look at the pile of hair on the ground or I would have thrown up. We estimated that she ended up cutting off about a foot and a half, 18 inches!

Spring Break/ Reading

My Spring Break, so far, has been spent in Logan visting my grandparents, which was so much fun, my cousin Tristan came by and brought her two kids and I was able to see her new baby that she adopted for the very first time since he was born! He is so cute! And then I made the beautiful scenic drive to Park City via Ogden Canyon, and I have been reading Twilight and New Moon the entire time! They have been so addicting it is hard to put them down!!! If you have not read them, you need to! after a couple of chapters I was HOOKED!!!!

60's, 70's, 80's Girl

Ok, so I don't know who knows this about me but I am a total 60's, 70's, and 80's girl!! I love all of the movies and music from these eras. (just thought it wouold be fun to start posting fun little facts about me for y'all to learn)

Cayden

Cayden is the oldest nephew and he is so fun! He is my game buddy!

He loves to play card games and board games, UNO and LIFE are the main ones we play.

He is very smart too!

I love to tease him cause he just laughs... He is so sweet and always gives me a hug when I see him!

Mayson

Mayson is 6 and SO FUNNY!!! He makes me laugh so hard till my stomach hurts!!

He loves to play with cars, but Legos and bionicles are his main thing lately!!

He also LOVES stuffed animals! that kid has the most stuffed animals I have ever seen a 6 year old have!!

Gage

Ok, Gage is another nephew... He is so funny!!

He LOVES Lightning McQueen and Thomas the Train, but he will play with anything her can drive!!

Gage loves to bully his 2 big brothers, which is so funny to watch, a 3 year old being the BULLY to a 6 year old and a 9 year old!!

He is so sweet and loves to give loves and kisses!!

Easton

I figured since I have posted a picture of Max and Keagan, I should post one of Easton too....

Easton is a complete CHEESE!!! it is hard not to laugh at him, especially when he gets mad!

He will sing into anything that he can pretend is a microphone, so he loves when "Aunt Ashley" is in a good mood and lets him play with her REAL microphone...

Easton has also taken after his Great-Grandpa Haws... He recieved a mouth organ from Santa this Christmas, he loves to walk around and play it! He is surprisinlgy good too!!

Easton will find any excuse to show off and be the center of attention, which I LOVE about him!!!

Keagan

Ok, so, my nephew Max is so darn cute.... Now look at my niece Keagan.... Also so darn cute!

If you don't already know this about me, my nephews and my niece are my pride and joy.... I brag about them and how cute they are.

Hey, I don't have my own kids, so I have to obsess about somebody's!!

So Keagan is so cute and so fun!! She will just smile and talk to you and she has the cutest little smile!

My nephew Easton, who is Keagan's big brother, calls her Keagie, it is so stinkin' cute!!!

Don't Laugh Too Hard....

Ok, I thought of something I could post that is "News" about me....

I have been learning how to cook... now don't laugh too hard, I know, 21 years old and I am just learning... kind of pathetic! But I have been learning and I have been haveing alot of fun and learning how to cook HEALTHY food so that when I am home alone (or when I move out on my own again) my diet won't consist only of tater tots and frozen pizzas (although I must say, my tater tots are better than anyones! I have become the master of the Tater Tots!!)

Maxwell

Ok, so this blog has become a new obsession!

I have had way to much fun playing around and adding things!

So, nothing new has happened to me in the past couple of days... I have just been hanging out with my sister and her CUTE baby Max..... isn't he so yummy??

He is crawling so fast and he loves to spit and make car noises with his tongue!

He has the cutest laugh and my mom and I are excited because his doctor told my sister he is too skinny so we get to fatten him up... ICE CREAM TIME!!! :) Max is a fearless baby! He loves to be thrown into the air and he loves to spin around in circles with Aunt Ashley! (I am his favorite aunt...)

WHAT WAS I THINKING????

Ok, so my friend Jeanne and my friend (and Jeanne's sister-in-law) Katie are planning on running a marathon this summer, and they asked me to do it with them. I MUST HAVE BEEN TEMPORARILY CRAZY, because I agreed to it. I was supposed to be going to the gym and running on the treadmill to prepare for this, but of course being me, I came up with stupid excuses NOT to go to the gym, and now, starting on Thursday, I have to start running outside with Jeanne and Katie 3 times a week until the marathon, I am so not ready..... WHAT WAS I THINKING????

Learn more about me.....

Ok, since nothing very exciting has happened to me recently, I figured I would post more about myself.....

I LOVE to travel!! I have been many places with my family around the country and I have been to China- the only place I have been outside of the United States, and it was AMAZING!
