Free Giveaway!!

I never do anything like this but I would really want to win this one so I am posting about it. There is a photographer up here in Logan that is giving away three photo sessions along with a CD of all your pictures ready to print. I would love this for Aspyn for her 2 year pictures so I decided to do it. All you have to do is go to her blog (http://sweetshotsphoto.blogspot.com) and leave a comment and then post about it on your blog.

Aspyn at 21 Months!!

Time flies by when your having fun!! I can't believe that Aspyn will be two soon, it's crazy! She is getting so big and doing so many fun (and funny) things these days that I decided to write down some of the things that she loves to do.

• She loves to dance around the house. The other day I asked her if she wanted to take ballet and she started to dance. I didn't even think she knew what ballet meant.
• She loves to play with balls, any kind of ball. Daddy brought her a little baseball and bat home from Chicago a couple of weeks ago and she loves to try to hit the ball.
• She is starting to talk a lot more. She now says please (so nice) and her new word is cheeeese (she says it like you are going to take a picture of her). In fact she loves the camera so much that I can't ever take pictures of her because she starts to throw a fit if I don't give it to her (hence, why I don't blog often).
• She loves to read books and will actually sit and listen to a whole book. Her favorite is Brown Bear, Brown Bear and when I say "What do you see?" she will say, "I see a bear." and that is what every animal sees.
• She loves to watch her Winnie the Pooh movie and will walk around saying "Pooh, pooh, pooh". Very funny!
• She is starting to act like a two year old by throwing tantrums. The kind where she throws herself on the floor, screaming at the top of her lungs. So much fun!
• She is a really big helper. Loves to help us cook, clean, and anything else that we are doing. When I clean the house I have to make sure that she has a rag and a water bottle so that she can follow me around. And she has to pull a chair over to the counter to help with anything we are doing there whether it's cooking or washing dishes.
• She actually knows who our President is. One day we were watching the news and she kept saying Mama over and over and I kept asking her what and when I looked at her she was pointing to the TV at Obama and that's when I realized she was saying his name, not mine. She does this every time she sees him on TV.
• She loves her stuffed animals and baby's. Duckie or one of her babies now comes with us every where. She also has to show them everything, the snow outside, the movie on TV or her pretty hair that I just got done doing.
• She is really into coloring. Every day right after she finishes breakfast she goes and gets her crayons and coloring books and off she goes. I have to convince her to stop so that I can get her dress.

Here are a few of pictures of her doing some of her favorite things.Here she is helping me make bread. If you look close you can see that she is saying cheese.

Aspyn coloring in her Winnie the Pooh book, two of her favorites in one activity.

And her she is dancing with her doll. Unfortantly I didn't get an action shot because she saw the camera and stopped.

Hardware Ranch

There is this place up here in Cache Valley that all the Elk winter at called Hardware Ranch and we finally made it up there (our 4th winter living here). We took Cecilee and Brandon when they came up in January. It was so much fun and Aspyn loved it!

Here is Aspyn at the Visitor Center. They had a bunch of stuffed animals that she thought were the coolest things ever!

Here we are waiting in line to get on a sleigh that takes you out into the middle of all the Elk.
This was on the sleigh, the horses names are Belle and Beauty, they are sisters. Aspyn had so much fun riding with the horses.

In the summer they grow all the feed for the Elk in this same field. There are so many of them and they just sit and stare at you as you move past them. It's so amazing to see them so close. Here are some more pictures for you to enjoy!!

I wish that we would have gone up all the other winters we were here but at least we made it once!!
