Oops-Mommy Left the Candy Out

After bath time, Aaron took Ashlyn to get dressed and I stayed in the bathroom to clean up after the girls.  I thought Makenzie was in her room waiting for us to read to her, but Aaron discovered a different scene.  Makenzie managed to climb up to the counter to get the bag of M&M's I left out earlier in the day. She apparently dropped the bag as she tried to sneak the candy and he found her sitting on the floor eating away.  Needless to say, I will have to be more mindful of leaving the sweet treats out for little hands to grab!

Ashlyn's First Tooth

Ashlyn's first tooth popped through about two weeks ago.  Her daddy and I hope her screaming episodes in the middle of the night were a  result of the pain she was feeling with her tooth.  We also hope and pray that she doesn't react the same way with EVERY tooth.  Otherwise, we are in for a long road ahead of us!  We never really knew when Makenzie was cutting a tooth-she is such a tough cookie compared to her sister.  Lucky for Aaron, Ashlyn and Makenzie both have pretty loud voices so that makes three of us in the family.  Things could be interesting in about 11 years (if not sooner).  The girls continue to bring joy in our lives and we are so blessed to have them as our daughters.  

Trip to Tomball

While Aaron was on his elk hunting trip, the girls and I made a visit to see my family.  My parents were still without electricity from Hurricane Ike, so we invaded my sister's house for the week.  Makenzie had fun playing with her cousin Madelyn and Aunt Heather while Ashlyn enjoyed loving on her Uncle JD.  My sister helped Makenzie ride a bike with training wheels for the first time.  She seemed to enjoy riding the bike, but I think she enjoyed riding her cousin's gator the best.  Here are a few pictures from our trip.
