The other prizes were a netflix membership, some board games and a Nacho Libre dvd, which my mom won! My mom was in the top 5! i couldnt believe it, and i dont think she could either.

It turned out really cute, and the reason i'm bragging is because SHAWN DID IT!! i know, right? he did a great job. maybe cake baking and decorating will become a new hobby for him.

He turned 6!! Man, where does the time go? I blinked and he was big! No more blinking. Enough of the blinking!! Anyway, we had his brother-cousin over for a few days and took them and another friend to a super fun park for cake and presents. Pretty low key but it was all i could manage after the holidays. Which is why I am going to start celebrating his half-birthday and having a party for him at the end of June. That way we can make a big deal about <em>him</em>, and throw a big party at the pool or whatever. And he can feel special, and I wont have another big celebration to plan for on New Year's eve. And now, with one picture, i would like to show you all why i love this boy so crazy much-</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2eI-jGcdfJQ-7A7sK4B3Q6pmm039kDC5UAB-Fwb74AiOTZCQYEWwYLTYk0WvRd0YEJ0sZu2NkRlOtMArlp7UXMom4aJTyS06M2zjdMnlX29i6aDLkiw5JDyIl3LNjFf559INTDO2ftm4/s1600-h/IMG_0159.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321397520574358130" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2eI-jGcdfJQ-7A7sK4B3Q6pmm039kDC5UAB-Fwb74AiOTZCQYEWwYLTYk0WvRd0YEJ0sZu2NkRlOtMArlp7UXMom4aJTyS06M2zjdMnlX29i6aDLkiw5JDyIl3LNjFf559INTDO2ftm4/s400/IMG_0159.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>He can <em>always </em>make me laugh. </div></div></div>Ashley Masonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937070392451447281noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557517355708155696.post-5272396949275651482009-03-19T16:02:00.001-06:002009-03-19T16:06:25.126-06:00Wow.

Well she has some books about clean eating, and her cookbooks are awesome! The one I just picked up at Sam's the other day is the eat clean cookbook for kids, and it's got some really great, really kid friendly and super easy stuff to make.

Just a hang out at the house, no makeup , stay in your jammies practically all day kind of day. So when I sat down to blog a gratitude list, I'm embarrassed to say that nothing really sprang to mind. So today's list will be a little...boring maybe. We'll see what I come up with.<br /><br />1. watching a movie with my kids that I watched when I was a kid. (All Dogs Go To Heaven)<br /><br />2. finding my running shoes online for 90 dollars instead of 130 dollars. (last year's model. i dont care.)<br /><br />3. leftovers for dinner<br /><br />4. my kids going to bed without any fuss tonight<br /><br />5. liam "working out" with me today<br /><br />6. the funny thing addy said to me while on the potty- "mom my toot sounded like clarky's squeaker toy!!" *cue hysterical giggles*<br /><br />7. cold, crazy windy weather that makes it perfect for Chicken Tortilla Soup tomorrow! yum!!<br /><br />8. my Real Simple mag coming in the mail today<br /><br />9. being able to incinerate calories for 24 hours with one 20 minute workout. (google HIIT)<br /><br />10. Addy snuggling me all day because she doesnt feel good.<br /><br />11. i'm grateful i can come up with all these things to be grateful for even on days that feel boring and barefoot house-wife-y. That in itself is a blessing, no?<br /><br />BONUS NUMBER 12: Twilight coming out this next weekend!!!! how could I forget??Ashley Masonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937070392451447281noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557517355708155696.post-52079317308242365122008-11-12T12:03:00.002-06:002008-11-12T12:16:50.103-06:00Just a Couple...of random things that are floating around my head.<br /><br /><br />1. Can you believe that it's almost Thanksgiving? One day at Hobby Lobby right before Halloween, they were playing Christmas songs!!! Crazy. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving this year- my family is coming down and we should have alot of fun. Also, I am looking forward to Black Friday, because shhhhh, we are getting the kids a trampoline this year. I am very nervous about this because I know all the things that happened to my brothers and I on our and our friends' trampolines, but Liam has been BEGGING for one, and I am consoling myself with the fact that we will be getting the safety net thingy that goes around it. Of course, that doesnt keep anyone safe from flying ninja kicks to the cheekbone and hospital trips to repair said shattered cheekbone (right Miles?) but I'm not going to think about that.<br /><br />2 .I am so glad that I have YW counselors now!! Yea! I heard they were awesome Sunday when I wasnt there- they had just been called in Sacrament that day too! I had no clue they were getting called and they just jumped right in and gave the lesson. P.S. it is really hard to run YW with just yourself and your secretary. Do not attempt.<br /><br />3.<a href="http://www.walletpop.com/blog/2008/11/11/aig-party-watch-this-time-a-resort-in-phoenix/?icid=100214839x1213252036x1200792196"> This article </a>really burns me up.<br /><br />That's all for now. There's alot more floating around up here, but I will save you from boredom by not writing about it.Ashley Masonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937070392451447281noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557517355708155696.post-23737499920923583032008-11-11T00:09:00.002-06:002008-11-11T00:37:26.835-06:00I really, reallyreally hate hormones.<br /><br /><br />Was pregnancy, labor, and delivery not enough of a challenge?? Do we have to have a monthly one too?<br /><br />i used to get really bad cramps until i started taking my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Barleans</span> supplement. (see list, "supplements i swear by" at the side). I also used to look 5 months pregnant because I would be so bloated- it <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">didnt</span> matter what i did, i would always look chubby around "that time". Seriously, you should look into that supplement. I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">looooove</span> it.<br /><br />So now my only monthly challenge is the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">witchi</span>-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">ness</span>. I cant stand the fact that I cant control my mood or thoughts. My words, I have ever so kindly been reminded by my husband, are a different story. I<em> can </em>control those. I wish he would stop being so good at pointing out what should be glaringly obvious to me.<br /><br />So, I am trying harder to think about what I say before I say it. It's that or take a vow of silence for a few days a month. Or duct tape. Or maybe a combination of all three?<br /><br />Because I really, really, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">dont</span> want to look back on my life when all is said and done and realize I sounded like Kate from Jon and Kate plus 8 on TLC. I mean, I love her and her little family, that is one of my favorite shows, but boy she can really be hateful to her husband. I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">dont</span> think I'm that bad, but then again I'm not about to go ask <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Shawn</span> and find out the truth.<br /><br />All I'm <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">sayin</span> is, "Why do women have to have periods?" will be one of the first questions I am asking Heavenly Father when I see Him again. What about you? What will be your first question??Ashley Masonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937070392451447281noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557517355708155696.post-33387355739139348042008-11-06T18:38:00.004-06:002008-11-06T18:45:45.059-06:00today i am grateful for...1. homemade pizza with whole wheat crust<br />2. my husband who cleans the house every morning while i am at work<br />3. that my family is coming for thanksgiving<br />4. cooking with my kids in the kitchen<br />5. karma-what goes around comes around people!!

I, for one, am not happy. And alot of the people I see and talk to everyday are not happy. Yet all that is being shown on the major news stations are people so hysterically happy they're crying, Oprah and Jesse Jackson among them. Young idealist college students gave Obama this presidency, and they wanted "change". I want change too, we all do, but does nobody realize just what kind of change we are about to get? I could be wrong. I hope I am.

That is terrible!! But, by way of explanation, I have not had the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">internet</span>. Right now I am at my in-laws house using theirs. I really wish I could post some pics so you could see everything we had been up to- but I guess I'll have to settle for telling you.<br /><br />Well, we got moved in. That was way fun and I enjoyed every minute. Seriously. Those boxes did not sit for long before they were emptied and BURNED!! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">bwahahahahah</span>!!!! (just kidding on the burning- we reused them and let other people use them like the responsible global warming conscious people we are. Well. Maybe I did burn one, just for fun.) I love living in my house and waking up every day in my OWN room, and decorating my kids rooms, and all that fun stuff. Oh, and p.s. on the kids rooms, you know how I was asking for floor painting ideas? Yeah, well, I said forget that and we got carpet. Way too complicated for my peel-and-stick sensibilities.<br /><br />This summer we basically went to the pool everyday and got brown as nuts. Liam became so much more comfortable with the water and by the second week we were there he was jumping in and doing tricks and putting his head underwater. BIG, big steps for Mr. Liam. (who by the way hates it when I call him that).<br /><br />The end of the summer we were getting Liam ready for SCHOOL!! Wow, how exciting. He loves his teacher, loves his friends, and it's so fun to me to catch him singing a little song to himself that he learned that day in school or something. However, I have been dying for details of his days away and it has been like pulling teeth to get him to tell me!! The first day I was all spastic, I will admit that, and probably a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">leeetle</span> annoying with all my questions (as evidenced by his answer to me finally "Mom, are you going to ask me all these questions everyday when I come home?") so I just have to be ready for when he's feeling chatty and starts talking. It's like "whoa, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">liam</span> are you talking about school? let me drop this hot pasta pot and listen!"<br /><br />My brother Miles just came home from his mission in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Canada</span>- how awesome is that? We had a fun weekend hanging out with him and seeing his face again! Welcome home Miles!!!<br /><br />Let's see, what else? I guess just the day-to-day things that we all do. It's funny how you can be so busy but upon reflection you cant really remember what you were so busy with! I've got to go ahead and hop off for now but hopefully I can post some pics soon. Have a great <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Wednesday</span>!!Ashley Masonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937070392451447281noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557517355708155696.post-35173651070030702912008-06-28T18:44:00.009-05:002008-11-18T19:25:18.307-06:00Okay Maybe I Lied...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi1CzM-Ar_f6iUX1Sbr2oeGUis571EA9x49Y9aTgYuOzczVyNXL8yRWrsnk7C24n-kzkF1gfrQZ-uKQWrPq6gMR3fOuWlhGZQCt58RytsxzNcEPx4qTi-rYPabRSPAARerITQc20DW4bo/s1600-h/IMG_0041.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217104531987493234" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi1CzM-Ar_f6iUX1Sbr2oeGUis571EA9x49Y9aTgYuOzczVyNXL8yRWrsnk7C24n-kzkF1gfrQZ-uKQWrPq6gMR3fOuWlhGZQCt58RytsxzNcEPx4qTi-rYPabRSPAARerITQc20DW4bo/s400/IMG_0041.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs3V-H-YJ9e2Bz2L8bz433B71Ysw5-YT5deJffChbwA8i9tlbg923GUT53rgRdu-bVrnUQ43DRcNfVjnLCMl7asDoUJbGZy7W85YYETFl1SaACWsQgCkzJlv-SVbBkEIUcKBLOy9NSM9g/s1600-h/IMG_0028.JPG">Today we didnt move anymore, but we finished painting the master closet and the pantry.

Where my stand mixer is there will be a microwave someday, but we didnt feel like shelling out the major moola for the one that matches the oven right now. We dont really use the microwave anyway, so we can wait. Right now it's a good cubby for the mixer! Through the door there you can kind of see where the laundry room is, and then to the right of that hallway is the guest room/workout room and guest bath.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqE8y9i1zHCF3D41VKgYOmaz4gCQFOtIecshp0ndr80zwffi-Gy3B6T47-1q5C6LgV5EPZfFYjbcOnnyKIne9V_JW3afB_qyGj8wDjRWWBigfFn_vVIPkzqALev4IQ-6jzrkRxt4S8XZQ/s1600-h/IMG_0023.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217096888181875394" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqE8y9i1zHCF3D41VKgYOmaz4gCQFOtIecshp0ndr80zwffi-Gy3B6T47-1q5C6LgV5EPZfFYjbcOnnyKIne9V_JW3afB_qyGj8wDjRWWBigfFn_vVIPkzqALev4IQ-6jzrkRxt4S8XZQ/s400/IMG_0023.JPG" border="0" /></a> I dont know why the hall color looks diff from the kitchen color because they're the same.<br /><br /><br /><div>Breakfast nook.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOuunFBdykHqso4Anl1U5q1fzfHlS__eO7yFD744EaYq7ZPiy7m03Spm-QRLApseXX2AXeXhec1Bz8Z7Tr614R8_LMGcz6kTmYeetXS9cMgISbvnedhsNgAPMFuNKPw8h6sUu6p8f6jZY/s1600-h/IMG_0005.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217096858546206354" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOuunFBdykHqso4Anl1U5q1fzfHlS__eO7yFD744EaYq7ZPiy7m03Spm-QRLApseXX2AXeXhec1Bz8Z7Tr614R8_LMGcz6kTmYeetXS9cMgISbvnedhsNgAPMFuNKPw8h6sUu6p8f6jZY/s400/IMG_0005.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>Front door.

They turned out SO CUTE. I take the card to Walmart to get them printed, and for some reason my card didnt work in the photo machine. Hmm, that's strange, it worked at home in my card reader, I thought. The lady tried to make it work and kept shoving it in and out, and finally I made her stop (politely) and just said oh well. Well, when I got it home and put it my card reader again, IT WOULDNT WORK AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!! Now the card is asking if I want to format it... NO I dont want to format you and erase everything on there!! So I googled the problem and came up with some recovery software that found the pictures that were on there- over 400- and as I was looking at them more than half are ruined- like they wont come up or they're just pink and green and black squiggles. So then I go to download them and the software is gonna make me pay 40 dollars just so I can have my pictures back!! That is highway robbery! They are taking advantage of people who will do anything just to get those precious pictures back. I will probably pay it but it will be very painful. Almost as painful as the card being ruined in the first place. Easter, Liam's T-Ball, etc.... lost in a little blue card. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>So the moral of the story is: DOWNLOAD AND PRINT YOUR PICTURES AS SOON AS YOU TAKE THEM!!! Learn from my misery!</div>Ashley Masonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937070392451447281noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557517355708155696.post-21515675202354322672008-06-19T18:34:00.000-05:002008-11-18T19:25:18.631-06:00Pick a Pail of PeppersCan you guess who's place this was after dinner tonight?

We went and took these 2 weeks ago at Olan Mills for a 10 dollar donation. I am quite pleased at how they turned out! I have some more of just me and Shawn, just Liam and Addy, just the kids individually, and I have a ton of them! He made me an offer I couldnt refuse, so I bought them all! lol. I'm normally kind of a picture snob I guess? I dont really like posed studio portraits but I was happy with these and these are the first updated family pics we've had in a while.<br /><br />Anyway, if you want one, email or comment and I will mail you one!<div style='clear:both; text-align:NONE'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Ashley Masonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937070392451447281noreply@blogger.com2
