Balloons

Ashley's hair is getting long enough now to start styling it. Here she is with pigtails...

I blew up a couple of balloons the other day, and they had a blast kicking, hitting, and chasing them around...

Playdate with Parks & Cap

A couple of weeks ago, we went over to my friend, Stephanie's, house and Wylie and Ashley had a great time playing with Parks and Cap. Here is Cap...he's such a cutie...
Wylie and Parks had a fun time building a train set together...
Ashley and Cap had a good time, too...
Ashley's first experience on a sit 'n spin...she loved it!
Ashley and Cap worked up an appetite and came downstairs for a snack before lunch...

Motorcycle Show

On January 19, John surprised the kids and took us all to a motorcycle show in Atlanta. Here, we are waiting in the freezing cold to get on the elevator in the parking deck...trying to make our way into the World Congress Center for the motorcycle show...by the way, this was the day of the big snow, so we didn't get a chance to play in it. :( But, we did see some motorcycles and fourwheelers.
Wylie and Ashley were not shy at all about getting on every fourwheeler and motorcycle they could...
Daddy wasn't shy about it either...notice the cool black flames on this one...this was one of John's favorites, after the Honda...
This Kawasaki Mule was big, it could haul the whole family! Here, Wylie is driving and Ashley is trying to find some good tunes on the radio...
Then, they got a passenger aboard and the two men are smiling because they know they aren't going to stop and ask for directions; meanwhile, Ashley is looking in the glovebox for a map...
Well, this was an expensive bike...this is a Harley that cost $35,000, and I think the sidecar Ashley is in was $4,000...we didn't let the kids play on this one for long.

My Sweet Nephew

As most of you know, I keep my nephew, Tyler, every Thursday to help Allison out while she is at work. We have the best time...Wylie, Ashley, and Tyler all get along great and really have fun together. Here are some pics of the three of them from the last few weeks.

Tyler is pointing to his mouth to make sure I don't forget where to put the food. This little man can eat!!
Ashley hammin' it up for the camera...
She loves to make silly faces...
Tyler hammin' it up...
Wylie lovin' on his cousin...he is so sweet with Tyler. He is always looking out for him.
Those Frazier boys start young with their love of money! Here, Wylie is putting change in the coin counter, and Tyler is very interested...
Tyler all bundled up and ready to brave the cold to head home...

Gingerbread House

Three weeks ago, Wylie made a gingerbread house at school. He did a great job! When we got home with it, he said he would share it with us for dessert, which I thought was so sweet.It didn't take long to eat all the decorations off the gingerbread house, and Wylie shared it with everyone, just like he said...
Ashley liked helping Wylie with some of those decorations...
He let Ashley pick out which treats she wanted and then he pulled them off and gave them to her...it was so sweet!
Then, we made it upstairs to get cleaned up before bed...

Talents

Here is some of Wylie's first artwork. The other day Wylie started drawing on the dry erase board while I was getting some work done, and he called me over to show me the bee he had drawn, and here it is:
Next, he drew a John Deere tractor, and used the green marker so everyone would know it's a John Deere...Ashley has a talent for being silly. She put on Wylie's hat and then began to ham it up...

Then, she decided she needed Wylie's coat, too...she loves her big brother and wants to be just like him.
Ashley LOVES to jump...so, here she is in action...
