Ashlynne's Birthday

On Monday we celebrated Ashlynne's birthday, my little girl turned 4. That morning she woke up and went around telling everyone "happy birthday" it was cute. Then when I put her down I kissed her and said happy birthday Ashlynne and she said "happy birthday too daddy", don't you wish they would stay young. She was very spoiled and loved the presents and the cards she got from Grandma and Grandpa Rollins, Aunt Stacey and Uncle Jason, and Uncle Beau and Aunt Mellisa and her cousins.

Our Hallowen pictures and notice the pumkins I bet you cant tell which one Jenn made.

Party

A couple of weekends ago some friends of ours invited us to a Halloween party. Even though it was a trick to get us to visit their home in the middle of nowhere J/K Lori :) we had a great time! I stole these pictures off Lori's blog thanks for posting them Lori. It was a great time and Jen's door prize was a whoopi cushion that my girls really love.

Here is Jen as my cow girl He Haw and this is me as General Electric (I know shocking)

pumpkin picking

This Saturday we went to a farm where we got to take a hay ride to a pumpkin patch. The kids picked out two huge pumpkins and Jenn and I get two and took them home. It was a good time and the kids are excited to start to carve them. You might have noticed that Mayson’s hair is real short she cut off a foot to donate it to Locks of Love, she looks so much older.

Busy Mayson

These past couple of weeks has been pretty busy for Mayson. She started soccer on Saturday and after went to get her ears pierced. Then on Monday she started school, below is a visual representation of these events.

She looks so much older with her ears pierced even though her face doesnt show it she was so brave

Off to school off to school to prove to dad that I'm no fool

Duck, Tooth, and Missionary

Well I will start off with the tooth, Mayson lost her first tooth this week and it was funny how it happened. It was very loose but she would not let me pull it (I was going to do the dad thing and say I would do it on three and then pull on twoJ). So she was eating a carrot and ran to me and said “Dad my tooth is gone and I ate it”. She was upset because she was looking forward to putting it under her pillow. Jenn had her draw a picture of it and put that under and low and behold the fairy did come. Then for family home evening we decided to go to the library (Beau, a library is a place you can borrow books for free just in case you didn’t know) well there is a duck pond there so we had fun feeding them. Then lastly Jenny’s brother JC came home from his mission and the girls were real excited to see him until they actually did and then things were overwhelming for them, but it was good to see him.

Jordan ate more bread then the ducks!

Camping

Well Mayson is 5 and Ashlynne is 3 and I thought it was time that they experienced camping, so I brought the idea up with my friend Bryan and with three of his kids we all went camping. We left work early on Friday and got packed up and headed up to Mantua. I was going to borrow my in-laws tent but it was nowhere to be found so I bought one before heading up. When we got to the camp ground it was a nice place although the camp was really packed and it felt crowded. All in all it was fun though as we did all the things I did when I was young; smores, cane fishing, bows and arrows. The only down falls were the tent and that night. The tent was impossible to set up Bryan and I were pouring over the picture instructions all the time trying to keep an eye out on the 5 little kids, but we got it in a tent form and then I realized that I’m too old to sleep on the ground eeek.
