POOP!!

Last night Deb went to work and Dave left Ash downstairs in front of Toy Story...her favorite movie. 15 or 20 minutes goes by and Dave goes downstairs to check on Ash and smells something funny...as he gets closer to Ash he realizes she has poop all over her hands and all over her clothes! She had very runny poop and put her hands down her pants to see what it was all about. Dave had to pick her up to get her upstairs to the bath and ended up with poop all over him! One hour and 2 baths later everyone was in PJ's and sleeping with no further pooping! Poor Daddy:)

Grandma Gertrude age 96!!!

I spent last week in Seal Beach CA with my Grandma and my parents to celebrate Grandma's 96th birthday! She is still driving and living on her own...amazing. I hope I inherit those genes!

We even managed to squeeze in some time at the beach. The is a great inlet 10 minutes from Grandma's house that had no waves and lots of sandy beach. It is perfect for little ones' then they are not afraid of the ocean. It also has a great playground.

Every year we go to Island Park Idaho for a week long stay with Dave's family in a large cabin. Believe it or not we manage to share this cabin with 15 people and only one bathroom!! Showers are a rare luxury during the week:) Each year I've taken a picture of Ash on the backyard swing set to see how she has grown up....so fast! We spent the week fishing, swimming in Firehole River in Yellowstone, rafting Henry's River and watching lots of movies. We share cooking duties and clean up duties and we had a great time as always.
