My little girl Ashlee is a BUNDLE of energy!! She is almost always going, going, going. If we go to the park she plays very hard and loves to run, jump, swing, and slide. I love that she is so active and it is so funny because my mom says that I was exactly like that as a child. The first picture is Ashlee with a fat lip obtained at the aforementioned park. (She fell onto the metal part after the ladder)
Well all of this activity is extremely hard on her clothes. The other day I was looking through her clothes trying to find a pair of jeans when I realized that every single pair of jeans had a huge hole in the knee. Counting the months I thought that these jeans need to last only a few more months maybe weeks so what can I do????? Well like a good SOHM I went to Micheal's and bought some iron on patches and went to work. I think they turned out really cute for a first try.

Maybe it is just me, but I think they are just as cute as the pair I bought at Old Navy last year!!!
Monday was a rare day for us, Jed took the day off. He has been working basically nonstop for the past few weeks. The kids have really missed having daddy around so we took a day to play. We decided to drive up to Monterey for the day. Ashlee was so excited to go to the beach. She kept looking out the window and saying "Mommy I see the beach!" I didn't have the heart to point out that we were no where near the beach as we were just approaching Los Banos! We first went to Carmel to let the kids play. It was fun, but FREEEEZZZIINNGG cold!!! Everyone was in hoodies, sweatshirts, and pants. Ashlee still got in the water with Jed though. She would run in and out chasing the waves. Hyrum stayed by me and built sandcastles. We didn't stay long and then went over to the wharf. We watched the sea lions and then ate dinner before heading home. It was a fun day to just get away and relax with the kids.
