Long time, no see

What's been going on since Christmas...

Not much.

School started back

Henry is into everything with his walker.

They both have been sick.

Henry has two teeth.

Buzzy has two lizards.

Henry has learned to fly (see above)

Have a new scrapbooking partner...MiMi!

Got a new computer because the old one has a mind of its own. I have saved my pictures to September of 2007; this means I have one year and three months of pictures that may or may not be retrieved from that stupid computer. This is a nightmare for a scrapbooker.

Steve has the body on his newest racecar-looks really good.

Celebrated our 8 year anniversary yesterday! January 20th! Steve's Uncle and friend made a little bet at our wedding. Don't know the details but, to them, we weren't going to make it through the first couple of years. Thanks Uncle Mikey!

Can you believe it??

I don't know about anyone else, but I am glad that the holidays have passed. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy every minute of it while it's here. I just feel like I am in a constant hurry the last couple weeks before the "big" day! Henry's first Christmas was spent teething, so it wasn't quite as pleasant as it could have been. He now has two bottom teeth and they are so cute!

Buzzy has asked for an ICoaster since about June. He didn't get it at our house, he got it at MiMi's. When we were done opening packages at home, he asked me if he didn't get one, if that meant that he had been too bad this year. He was thrilled when he opened it at MiMi's. I told him that I guessed that Santa thought he had been to bad, but I guessed that MiMi felt different!

Henry was really fussy on Christmas morning. We couldn't figure out what Pappy had done to get him quiet. He put his headphones on him and let him listsen to Christmas music. He loved it!! He was just quiet and smiley the whole time that he was rockin'!

Henry liked the bows better than the gifts!

Buzzy would not visit with Santa at any of the malls. He said he would get to see him at preschool. When Santa asked what Buzzy wanted for Christmas, he told him a wheelie motorcycle, and I coaster, and a case of duct tape in all colors. Santa thought that was really funny! Ms. Sabrina said that it didnt surprise her! She knows my Buzzy!

When we came home from Alabama, Buzzy wanted to eat at Cock of the Walk. He loves it. They looked cute in the big rocking chair!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Buzzy dressed up for his Thanksgiving dinner at school on Tuesday. He could be either a pilgrim or an indian. Last year, I wasn't prepared and all he had was a headband. This year, he wanted me to order him a real Indian costume. Once again, I wasn't prepared. So...we made our costume! Next time, I will need to use hot glue. I think he had maybe 10 beads left on his outfit when he got home! Craft glue wasn't getting the job done!


He had to make Henry a headband too and Daddy didn't want to be left out. He borrowed Buzzy's headband!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Hope you gobble 'til you wobble!!

Chicken Coop

**My pictures posted backwards**

I know everyone gets tired of hearing what a great husband I have, but well, he is! He built my chickens a REAL coop over the weekend. Steve's Dad built Buzzy a chicken house for his birthday and now it has a courtyard to go with it!

Buzzy loves it. He goes out there everyday to chase the chickens around and check for eggs. It is really nice. Steve and I worked all afternoon Saturday and then again Sunday afternoon. Heavy and Austin assisted us on Sunday. They always seem to show up when we are working on our chicken projects!

Anyway, the house has a heat lamp in it, so at night it looks like they are having family time in their little house! I just love it! My mamaw would be so proud!

Henry

Steve is sure that Henry is going to be his racer. He says that he can already tell that Henry is going to want to race cars! Henry is a little Stevie for sure. Laid back, always pleasant, and charms the ladies!

Henry has a new trick. This makes Pappy so nervous. He holds his breath until Henry is back in Steve's arms. When Buzzy was little, Steve would "walk" him on our ceiling (turn him upside down and walk...). I guess this is going to be Henry's trick until he's long enough to get his feet on the ceiling!

Donuts

While Steve and I were working on the chicken coop - finally - MiMi and Buzzy were making homemade donuts! They were so good. So much for my diet! I will post pictures of our chicken condo with courtyard later. Steve and I haven't finished it yet, but it will be done today!

Growing, growing...

I can't believe he will be five months old tomorrow. It's going by way to quickly.

Guess who's rolling over!!

Halloween 2008

Our Halloween was full this year. Buzzy and Henry got lots of treats from family and friends. Buzzy's party was at school on Thursday, but I didn't get to go to it. I took Henry to the dr. for his 4 month check up. He weighed 17 lbs and is 26 1/2" long. he is in the 97 percentile for his age for his height and 85% on his weight!

Buzzy was Jeff Gordon again. He said this will be his last year as Jeff Gordon. Next year he says he will be Tony Stewart! He has it planned for the next four years. Tony Stewart, then Jimmie Johnson, then Jr., and then maybe Carl Edwards!!

We went down town on Friday to Trick or Treat. Daddy went with us this year. We went early, so Buzzy could go to the lake with MiMi and Pappybefore it was too late. Buzzy was upset because he didn't get to Trick or Treat with Chandler this year. He just got to have his picture taken with her. They were just getting there when we were leaving. Maybe next year.

Henry rolled over by himself for the first time on Wednesday. I videoed it, but I'm waiting for a better one to put on here. He is growing WAY too fast. Now you are up to date!

by the time I get henry to look up, buzzy is done smiling nice!

So cute it's scary! That's what his shirt said!

My little turtle. Thank you for the costume MiMi!

Buzzy with his treat bucket from MiMi and as Jeff Gordon.

Daddy and the turtle.

Buzzy & Chandler met up at the bank.

Playing Catch Up...

We have been so busy. Here is a little recap of what's been going on...

Went to Highland Rim to watch Daddy's first race there. It wasn't too redneck that night. Thank goodness!
Daddy on the track for his first race at Highland Rim.

Went to have lunch with Lucas and Aunhee at McDonald's and then to the park.

Cool cat!

Cute cat!

Stop-taking-my-picture cat!

Got to bring Blackie the class bear home.

Went to the Pumpkin Patch. This slide was up Buzzy's alley! He LOVED it!

Can you say TROUBLE?

This scarecrow asked if anyone had a song to sing while we were on the hay ride. Buzzy said he did and busted out Folsom Prison Blues! The scarecrow said that was a good song, but not quite what she had in mind! I stopped him after "I ain't seen the sunshine." He looked at me and with his silly voice said "Now that is a good song!"

After the Pumpkin Patch, we went to pick Henry up at NaNa's, and Buzzy headed straight for his climbing tree.

Why are the best pictures always blurry? Henry loves his NaNa.

VOTE

Don't forget to keep voting for Stevie. It's a close race and I'm not sure when the poll ends! He's in second 32 to 30. So VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!!!

Louisville Zoo

MiMi, Aunhee and I took the little one's to the zoo on Thursday. They had a great time. Henry liked the carousel. Buzzy was boogered by the Anaconda, and Lucas thought MiMi drove too fast!!

Steve pouting

Steve pouted so much about his birthday, that Henry let him use his plug!

Happy Birthday, Stevie!

Steve's birthday came and went this year. It fell on Friday and he and I went to eat all by ourselves. He was afraid that I would make the waiters sing to him, but I didn't. The following Monday Steve, Henry and I met K and Tommy at El Bracero and, we had them sing to him! They even fed him his dessert!! I told him I would get him when he wasn't expecting it!! I am dreading my payback!

Fire Department

Buzzy's preschool class went to the CC Fire Dept on their first field trip of the year. Buzzy had a good time. Last year the fire truck came to them. We walked to the station this year, since it's just down the street from the school. Henry slept the whole time. Buzzy was worried that he would cry and make the firemen think the fire alarm was going off!

Calling all Voters!

Please go to the Odell & Billy Site in my blogging Buddies list and Vote for

STEVE ASHLEY #28!!

He's in third right now so VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!!!

Three months

Since Henry has gotten a little more stable with his head, I have been trying just sitting him in the sink. He loves it! He splashes and makes a huge mess! He loves his Link-A doos too! He is most always such a happy boy!

We have been trying out the Bumbo seat for short stints. He likes it,but he gets tired. He's almost ready to sit in it all the time! I can't believe how quickly he is growing!

Best Uncle & Future Aunt Award Goes to....

Ryan And Regan. Steve's youngest brother and his girlfriend have been together off and on as long as Steve and I have been. They have come to two races this year, and Buzzy loves it when they come. I seriously think he would move in with Ryan if he got the chance!

It won't be too long until Ryan can ride on Buzzy's shoulders! Buzzy's crocs had a blow out and Ryan and Regan fixed them up for him! Of course, it had to be orange tape!

I don't know who likes who the most!

That's Horrendous

Steve and I were watching TV this evening when we heard what sounded like a firecracker. I thought it was the ice maker. Steve looked at me and said "What was that?" I wasn't too concerned. He got his goofy, guilty grin and said " I hope I didn't forget a coke in the freezer." I knew right then what he had done. He does it ALL THE TIME!! I will get ice and it will have brownish spots on it. At first I thought there was something wrong with our water, but then Steve confessed what was "wrong" with the ice. He is always putting hot cokes in the freezer to get them cold fast. Then he forgets them and this is what I find.

He opened the door before I got in there and said "That's horrendous." I cracked up! That's just not a word that he uses, so I knew it had to be bad!
