Wow its been a while!

I can't believe how long its been since my last post.  I am usually so much better at this.  I guess with school and the fun summer we have been having that this has took the back burner.  So I am going to try and play catch up with everything, so bear with me :)
Me and Kim's friend from High School posted on facebook about a hike up dry creek and so we decided to check it out.  Its a pretty low key hike, but good for kids.  I really enjoyed it.  I'm really into hikes right now and hope to do the Grove creek to battle creek this summer!

 Jason's dad has a boat and we took it out on deer creek reservoir.  It was a blast.  Just some nice adult time which was good. We just trolled around the reservoir and got some rays.  We did get in the water for a minute, but it was super super cold, so we just pretty much stayed in the boat. 

 Towards the end of the trip, Dusty was dared to jump in and being the person he is, he did it.

 Beautiful sunset on the water

Kim and Jason finally went out and bought a canoe.  They have been wanting one for years, and decided this was the year to do it.  So, of course, me and dusty were all over going to payson lakes and helping them break it in.  Me, Dusty and the kids went camping and met them at payson lakes to do some boating/swimming/fishing.  These pics are from 3 different times of going, but its basically all the same right??

 There was a rope swing and Jason, Dusty and Ryan all had to try it out!

I think this will be the last update :) If not, get over it I already did.  Just Kidding!!! For the fourth of July my Aunt Cennie had us all over to watch the pg fireworks from her backyard.  It was great being around my cousins I hardly ever see, but live right by.

Happy Fathers Day!

I just wanted to take this time today on Fathers Day to say how much I love my dad.  My dad is the most awesome person I have ever met.  He does so much for his family and has sacrificed so much for his family throughout the years.  He raised us kids basically by himself since I was 15 and did a great job.  We weren't close until after my mom died, but now we are as close as close can be.  I know that I can ask him anything and he will go out of his way to do what he can for me.  I love you dad!!!! U are my SUPERMAN!!!!!


I also wanted to take this time to say Happy Fathers Day to Dustys dad.  Dusty lost his dad when he was 7 years old, and didn't get the chance to spend the time with him that he wanted, but from what he does remember, his dad was an awesome person.  He took them on wagon rides with the lawn mower and introduced Dusty to his love.........HOT BATHS!  I wish I could of had the chance to meet him, but from what I have heard he was a very dedicated father and husband.  Happy Fathers Day Donald Kay Asher!

Some new crafties!

I went to Hobby Lobby the other day and they had all of their flowers 50% off.  I was super excited.  I had been eyeing these flowers forever, but they were $3 a pop, and I wasn't going to spend that much, but I would do that for 2.  So i snatched them up and came home and made Jordyn some hair things out of them.  The zebra looking ones had the jewels already with them.  I need to find me some big jewels like that, the look super cute in hair things.  The others just had flower type middles and I put my decorative brads in some, but thought they looked to small, so the others i just left the flower things.  So excited for her to wear these!!

My little artist!!!!

For weeks now Dusty has been asking me to get him some pictures of our family and stuff to put in his office and being the slacker that I am I haven't done it yet.  So last night while I was at school Jordyn was hanging out with her dad and she decided to make him some pictures of our family!  Okay, so pretty much any 6 year old can draw a picture right?? Well do they pay as much attention to detail as Jordyn?? I was amazed when I saw these.  The detail that she puts into them are amazing.  Love her and her super special drawings.  It makes me not want to throw anything away that she does.

This picture is one of her and her dad hiking.  Notice that they have their water packs on, but they are facing you so you can only see part of them.  I would have just drawn the straps, but she drew part of the packs too!!!

This one is the one that really amazed me.  This is a picture of me giving the kids kisses at bedtime.  She has me in my scrubs (cause during the week I barely get home from school in enough time to give them kisses), she has her butterfly decoration that is on her wall.  She has the light in the room, Ryan on the bottom bunk, Leo, our dog, underneath the bed where he always sleeps and both of their Easter baskets that are sitting on their floor right now. 

It may just be me, but I think my daughter is one of the most talented 6 year old I have ever seen.  LOVE YOU JORDYN MAE!!!!!!
