Last night after tub time I guess we lost track of number four for a few too many minutes. She likes lotion, I mean, she likes TO EAT lotion. I still haven't checked the jar to see if it isn't good to eat. Ainslers was ok, so I am guessing it's fine to have a few tablespoons each day. My real problem is that cetaphil cream is expensive! I might as well let her eat spoonfuls of caviar daily, but I guess that would make her smell fishy.
Jason tried to rub an entire cup of cetaphil cream into Ainsley's tiny bird legs, huge malnourished Ethiopian belly, his arms, Amelia's cracked and bleeding dry hands and a few globs of it got into the carpet too. Ainsley loved it and posed for a whole bunch of really cute nudey baby pictures that I am not going to share. Oh, and YES her nostrils were packed with the cream too, yummy boogies to pick later!*************
It's been a while since I posted. Having my guts cut out took a lot more out of me than I expected, it also cost a lot more than I had planned. Jason has been working extra hard to pay the extra bills. I've been working extra hard as a single mom while Jason works all of his days off away. I can officially say that I am caught up now! There are only 3 loads of dirty laundry downstairs, all of the clean stuff is folded and put away, and all of the beds in the house have been made everyday for at least a week. That all might not be so impressive, but listen to this (SARA) I have been cooking too! My kids even said my cinnamon rolls were better than Rhodes!
I've been able to catch up with a few friends the past month....
We had a sisters lunch with the gals from my mission. President & Sister Kohlert showed up and and surprised us. They are all amazing girls! We really need to do that more often, but with ALL of the girls!
A few friends and my sis Sara and I had a girls weekend in Saint George. We went to the parade of homes and skipped on down to Mesquite to play bingo with the senior citizens for the night. A couple grannies taught us how to play and told us about the free drinks (hot cocoa & diet coke) and helped us keep up with the old folks. It was highly entertaining, and cheaper than going to a movie. I will definitely do it again next time I'm in sin city... or at the senior citizens center.
My Ranch family who now lives in Hawaii came to the mainland to drop off one of their sons at the MTC. They joined us at our house for dinner and lots of memories and updates. We didn't have near enough time to catch up on the past way too many years. Maybe it is my turn to visit them? Hawaii here I come! Thanks for the love Todds!
There will be more catching up to do in the next couple of weeks! Em is coming up from Vegas for her Bday, and My Danielson is getting married! I really have the bestest friends! Even though sometimes we go years without seeing each other, SAD.
One more exciting event. Jason's mom retired! We thought about getting her gift cards that said stuff like, FREE SLEEPOVER WITH THE GRANDKIDS! and FREE NIGHT OF BABYSITTING YOUR GRANDKIDS! Instead we decided on surprising her with dinner with the family (minus the grandkids), flowers, and a couple of books to keep her busy with family history. Next week Amelia is putting her to work as a second grade field trip helper, good luck Pam!
I know there are lots of fun family activities that I missed. It's late, this post is long, and there will be no catching up for me, sorry you missed it.
Thanks Ainsley for motivating me to break out my camera, and inspiring me to blog again!

So I was eating a bowl of cherrios as I read this, it kinda made me gag! How did that girl breath? Oh, so gross and I hope she is okay and didn't inhale much of that.
Oh and by the way, you always impress me!
Hey Brit! Just discovered your blog! Love the lotion pics! It was good to see you, let's do it again soon. :)
Fun! Glad you got to visit with the Todd's. Sounds like you've had a lot of fun lately catching up with friends. so glad! can't wait for my turn. ---I'm sure your whole family now has silky soft skin thanks to Ainsley and cetaphil.
I love the random update! I didn't know about your surgery??? Hope everything is ok and that you're doing well. And keep blogging, puh-leeeease...its the only way I get to (sort of in a way) see you guys!
Yucky Ainsley, I wonder how she could breath but then again that must be why she is so silky soft!
I was so shocked when you all showed up for dinner to surprise me for dinner after I retired. It was one of the things that meant the most to me after I retired because I was with the people that mean the most to me. Thank you all for making the evening so special and my retirement somethinbg to remember.
I am so excited that I am a grandma and that I am finally able to go on a field trip with Amelia. I feel like it is my first day of going back to school, but it is with my granddaughter. Amelia and I have always made a wish that I could quite my job and stay home to play with her. Our dreams have finally come true!
That is so funny that she likes to eat lotion. Kaylee likes to suck on baby wipes. It is the weirdest thing. It reminds me of elf when he eat cotton balls. :D
