Where is the Fall Weather?

     Where is the fall weather? I can't believe the weather is still warm enough for Ashlyn to wear her summer clothes. Right after labor day it seemed like it was cooling down, but now the summer weather has returned. I fear that fall will be short, and winter will come early this year. That would be a horrible scenario!
     Nothing too interesting to blog about, we have just been taking it day by day! On Wednesday, we went to Mamaw Joyce's for her birthday. We gave her a Coach purse, she has never owned a Coach purse before! As Ashlyn handed my Grandma her present she shouted "It's a purse." I swear that child can't keep a secret to save her life. I warned my Grandma that Coach purses can be addicting, that would not make my Grandpa very happy.
     Mamaw Joyce cooked Ashlyn and I all of our favorite things for her birthday lunch. We had pork chops, mashed potatoes, peas, and green beans. I know we should have cooked for her, but she would have enjoyed her cooking much better I promise. After lunch, Ashlyn and I went and rode the combine with Uncle Kelly. Ashlyn was not satisfied with the length of time we rode, so Mamaw Joyce told her she would take her another day.
     When we got home, we exercised with John, Laura, and Evan by walking around the neighborhood.  Thursday was a day of relaxation! Ashlyn and I spent all day relaxing. I tried to go shopping but Ashlyn kept saying let just relax mommy. During our relaxation time I recorded Justin Bieber's video music awards performance to show Ashlyn. I knew it would make her excited, but I wasn't aware of how it excited it would make her. After watching the recording 20 different times I told Ashlyn that I was done watching Justin Bieber. Ashlyn looked up at me with sad eyes and said, "Please Mommy one more time, I just can't get Justin Bieber out of my heart." She was so serious, and I couldn't help it I just cracked up laughing.
     On Friday, Ashlyn spent her morning at school. On the car ride home from school I suprised Ashlyn by telling her Mamaw Kris was coming to pick her up . I had to take some pictures of her before she left because she looked super cute. Ashlyn and her American Girl Bitty Twin doll, Kara, wore matching shirts that said "I Love My Best Friends For Ever." Ashlyn was so excited to wear matching shirts with Kara.

      Ashlyn spent most of Saturday with Mamaw Kris, due to it being my weekend to work. Josh surprised Ashlyn on Saturday night with a play date! Jenna and Jessica came over and Josh said they played really good, although at one point I did receive a text at work that said "If we ever had three kids I would kill myself." Sunday I spent the morning sleeping and the afternoon with Ashlyn. Josh spent all day Sunday watching football, I am already over football season. While Josh was watching football, I decided to let Ashlyn go outside and play. I predict not too many more days of outside playing is left.
     Today Ashlyn went to school, and I noticed that Mrs. Erica is no longer needed! Every day Ashlyn would cling to Mrs.Erica and never talk to anyone else, now Ashlyn has a new friend, Hannah, that she can't quit talking about. I am excited she is finally breaking out of her shell.
     I had a dermatologist appointment today and Josh went to the dentist. Josh is on this healthy kick and decided he is ready to see the dentist and doctor on a regular basis. We will see how long this last! Since he has refused to go to the dentist for the past 10 years, the appointment resulted in lots of cavities and lots of money! I learned today how horrible dental insurance is! He will be going to the dentist every 6 months for now on. Ashlyn and I spent the afternoon doing some much needed cleaning. Well I cleaned and Ashlyn played and watched TV, she is not the best at picking up after herself. Now I am off to watch my DVR, it is premier week! I love when all my shows come back on!
