SAVING THE RACOON FROM THE SWAMP!

I carried Harper to the Children's Hands On Museum to ring in the New Year with a bunch of kids. They counted down at noon to celebrate. We had a blast!

Christmas Time 2008!

We had the best Christmas ever! It is always nice to be able to spend time with everyone!
The kids got so many toys that it looked like Toys R Us threw up in our living room haha! They got: A Play Kitchen :-), Play Food, Tea Set, Elmo Live (he is so funny!), Aqua Doodle (very cool!), Walker/Wagon, Blocks...just so much! It was fun! Harper is just now starting to understand the whole Santa thing. She is still walking around singing "Santa comming to tooown" (Santa Claus is commin to Town:-)

GRANNA, OR AS HARPER SAYS "GANNA" AND LAKE

TEETHING LAKE-E-POOH!

LAKE AND AUNT EVA GAIL

TOYS! SO FUN!

Taking Donations!

Hey everyone! I am trying to get my realestate license and to do so I need to take classes and classes take $. To start my first round of classes are $395. We will have the extra money after tax time but currently I have some spare time to take these and am not too busy at work so I can focus my energy on kicking bottay at the courses! Thanks if you can help!

Happy Holidays!

It's Christmas Time! This is the first year in a very very long time that I have been super excited! Last year was great, but this year is going to be even better with Harper and Lake!

Harper will actually kinda get whats going on! We havebeen telling her about Santa, who she calls Claus hahaha.

I have actually enjoyed watching Christmas movies this year...Drew and I have been watching one every night. I think Santa Claus 2 is my favorite now. Tonight it is Charlie Brown's Christmas! YAY!

It is just so wonderful to have my own family! I never knew that I could love 3 people so much!

December pics!

whohoaaa!

Happy Holidays!

Hey everyone! Okay, so apparently I can not keep up with my family blog as well as I thought I could, but I am totally going to work on it. I have so many pictures I want to post for everyone to see, but I need to figure out how to make an album...April, give me tips girl! :-)

What we have been up to: We went o Jasper to house sit the weekend before Thanksgiving and it was great, like a mini vacation for us! I know sad, but we do not get to do much hahaha! Babies are way cooler than getting out and about anyways!

For Thanksgiving we had my Blake, Brittany (my younger brother and sis) and my mom over. We has SO much food and it was super yummy!

Saturday we had some friends and their kiddos over for the game. Can I get a ROLL TIDE! We are rockin' it this year! Undefeated 12-0! GO BAMA! Of coarse Harper was our own personal cheerleader and I baked cookies with the little ones after the game.

Monday I was spouse to work but my mom, who watches Harper and Lake Mondays and Fridays basically stood me up. Since I was unable to work I am not getting paid for Thanksgiving and the day after that we were closed...Bollix! So yeah, my mom screwed me, sad to say but nothing new. We will just leave it at that she will no longer be watching our angels. Harper will now be in daycare full time and Lake 3days a week (my Aunt Billie, the most awesome lady in the world, will be watching him the other 2days until we can get him full time)

With the daycare stuff I did go look at like the only other one taking full time, Flatwoods Baptist and all I can say is that I was not impressed what so ever. Where they are now is amazing! They stick to a schedule, which I think is very important, have bible study, indoor and outdoor playgrounds and different areas for pretend play...they are also helping with potty training which is great because I cant give all of my attention to the training being at work all day.

Anyhoo we are excited about Christmas! We will be busy busy but cannot wait to see Harper's little face when she wakes up Christmas morning, Lake is still way too young to know what's going on.

We will be back and forth to Jasper around the holidays to be with our awesome family there. Then I think we are going to New Orleans to visit Jason, my older brother and his daughter on New Years and then all of us heading down to the beach for Christmas with my moms side of the family January 3rd. I love this time of year and being around fam!

Now I do not like the weight gain hahaha! Just a mini frustrating update...I lost almost 20lbs but that doesn't matter because I packed it all back on BOOOOOO! No worries, I am going to keep up my hard work. It is just hard after baby #2, baby #1 was easy hahaha!

Now for some pictures...

LOVE,

Ashley...and the Rowland fam!

Happy Halloween 2008

We had so much fun carrying them trick or treating around our neighborhood and my Aunts. Harper was a ghost and Lake was just a little pumpkin. Harper also had a fall festival at her "school" with a moon walk, games and trick or treating.

Harper apparently had a bit too much candy (She barley has any sugar usually) because she got sick about 2a.m. My poor little ghost...Don't worry, she is feeling much better today!

LOVE!
