Pumpkin Patch

We went and picked out our pumpkin at our church's Pumpkin Patch. The girls had a great time. They even had a bounce house there. It was all fun until one of the little boys started chasing the girls around in there....only problem is....he had blood dripping from his nose!!! So John got our girls out of there as fast as he could and we headed home to enjoy the beautiful weather at the house. It was a perfect Sunday!!!

Careyland Here We Come!!!

Ashlyn's Best Friend Carey turned 6 on Sunday. Her party was Saturday. It was called Careyland instead of Candyland. But there was by no means a shortage of Candy at Careyland!!!!! Ashlyn and I went and had a blast.

Thank you Stefany for such a great Girl Weekend!

It was the FLU!!!

We are pretty certain...Ashlyn had the flu and not just strep. We battled her fever for 4 days. The first two days it was between 103-104...with Tylenol and Motrin being alternated every 3 hours.
The next day it was between 101-102, again alternating Tylenol and Motrin every 3 hours. The last day it was back and forth between 100-101....no Medicine.

We started her on Tamiflu within 14 hours...so I'm assuming that is what helped! I can't imagine how bad it would have been without it!

Here is a picture of her, while she was sick. This is how she spent the first 2 days of being down and out!!!

Strep Strikes

Ashlyn came home from school today...laid on the couch....covered up with a blanket and said she was cold. That was a Red Flag. I took her to her doctor. He diagnosed strep, but didn't rule out the flu. He gave her an antibiotic and prescribed tamiflu so if we needed it...we would have it. Only problem is...everyone seems to be out of tamiflu!!!! Hope that's not what she has!!!

Ashlyn lost her first tooth.

Well....here is the story!
Ashlyn woke up Saturday morning and showed me how far she could move her tooth. She could literally bend it almost perpendicular. To be honest...it gave me the chills because that's just not normal!!!!

She had a soccer game in about an hour...so we ate breakfast and started getting dressed. I was packing myself for a photoshoot in Houston. I didn't even think about it when I told her to go brush her teeth. She went in there...and seconds later came back out. I told her...that that wasn't near enough time for her to brush every single tooth and to get back in there and do a better job! So she went.
It was about 15 minutes later...I started to think....she is going to lose this tooth while out there playing soccer. She is going to demand we stop the game and start searching for her tooth! So in order to prevent the drama...I asked her to come see me so I could sneakily (is that a word) pull it! When I went to grab it....it was gone! So it is either in her tummy or in her drain!

Johnathan told her to write a note to the tooth fairy...and Ashlyn said she already knows. So she went to bed. Ashlyn woke up and said she didn't think she came and that maybe she did need to write a letter. I told her to go look under her pillow...she came out saying..."I GOT 5 CASH!" She was so thrilled.

The very next day....baby tooth number 2 came out. Johnathan pulled this one so we wouldn't lose it! We put it in a little ziploc baggie and put in under her pillow. The toothfairy came again for the second night...although this time Ashlyn was quite surprised by her magic...because she didn't just put the money under her pillow...she put it under HER! (Haha....she is such a squirmer at night!) When I went in there before the toothfairy's arrival....that little stinker had the baggie in her hand! :)
