Woohoo I did it, Finally!!!

Hmmm, well... I am pretty excited that I have finally started a Family blog! Cole just walked in with a HOT starbucks, whoohoo.. I will take a minute to bring you up to speed on some things we have been up to. I am still working at Fidelity and am also doing my first show as a Lia Sophia Advisor for Stephanie next Tuesday!! (If you would like to host a show and get free jewelry, let me know :)) Mom and I started about 7 weeks ago doing Monday night Woman's Study at Central, and it has been such a great experience. Austin gets pretty excited to go every week, Daddy and Ashleigh get to spend the night together.

Speaking of Austin he has been talking a lot about playing soccer and we are excited to sign him up soon. He is 3 going on 18, and truely believes he knows best about everything. He loves to tell us how it's going to be and test the waters. He is always coming up with the funniest little things to say. "Daddy don't ever do that again" " I am going to finish my junk food first" "Mommy this is your show, not mine" "Mommy you are my bestfriend, and Daddy and Ashleigh and Gramma and Grampa and Jackson and on and on and on.. he goes :)" it's a crack up what all kids think of and pick up on. He doesn't miss a beat, and if you tell him something you can count on him not forgetting if it is anything other than orders. The selective memory that I recall his Uncle having when we were kids is already showing up in his little personality. Austin loves being a big brother, and is very careful around his sister. He loves his cousins in California and talks about them frequently. Speaking of cousins, I am expecting to be an Auntie and no not to Josh's child.. lol. Congrats Jon and Melissa!

Cole has been working at the IBEW for going on 8 years now. He is an Awesome Dad, and still acts like the goofball he's always been (see below). We're working on him making time to do Daddy things with the guys. He and Austin are heading to Dumont this Saturday with the Boys for the day. Mommy and Ashleigh will be doing a garage sale!!
Now that Ashleigh is 8 months she is soo interactive and is pretty vocal too... go figure. We thought maybe the 2nd child would be a little more quiet and reserved. SO FAR, not so much but we figure what can we really expect with the 2 of us as their parents, Right? She got her first 2 teeth on the 26th after many months of teething... a moment of relief :) She is crawling at the speed of light pulling herself up, mocking her brother and trying to put anything and everything in her mouth. She loves jewelry, it's soo fun to watch her get excited about it. Her nickname that has been given by countless sources is "Chunky Monkey" she is a total doll and is always smiling. What a riot it is to watch her maul her Brother, we can already tell she will be beatin up on him plenty... He doesn't quite know what to do when she gets aggressive, so he just takes it. She loves to dance, clap, and sing... I love watching her get into the music, it is the cutest thing.

Well, that is a good start, and I am sooooo tired! So God Bless and I will be updating shortly. YEEEEHAAAW tomorrow is Friday :) Cheers! THE PENNYS <3
