A few family pics

Global warming my you know what!!@#!@#?

Yes those branches are touching the ground...half of our tree broke off and was just hanging there in the driveway. If you click the pics to enlarge you can see how crazy it really was.
This is our neighbors tree branches laying on the top of our garage!
We got about twelve inches between 9pm and 8am!!

April 16, 2009! Our poor cars!! The Audi faired pretty well, but our other car was parked behind this one and got some scratches on the hood!! :(

Aston Fam Damly Easter hunt!

It was way more fun than last year cuz this year Torrance actually knew what to do!
Who doesn't love tiny bubbles!? I know I do!
Roooaaarrr! Were you scared yet by the Mom Monster in this pic??! Ahh!


Look how well they all cooperated! This was before the hunt obviously and they just wanted to get started!! Can't blame them!

Easter 2009

Throwing rocks in the stream is the coolest! Look at that wind up! Whew!

Who wants to stay inside when you might only have one nice day in five?!?! Not me suckas!
This cute little Easter bunny visited our house on Easter afternoon! Man they grow up fast!

Crazy Utah weather!

Our backyard Around 8am this morning! Ahhhh!
Front yard!
Here's our backyard about four hours later! April fools mother nature....very funny, and yes I did just mow the lawn yesterday!!!!

It's never too early to teach children internet safety! ;)

Skin care can never be taught too early!

It usually works better if you actually put it on your skin though! ;)

Snow Day!

This is Torrance's first experience playing in the snow. She couldn't really move but she liked it anyway! But sledding was a whole other story!

Game anyone?!?

Well Torrance finally graduated from her stupid carseat! (Thank goodness, she was breaking my back!:) But she thinks it's the infant version of a gamers chair! Whatever kid! :)

Back by popular demand!!!

I know it's been a while, so here you go Ang! Just having some nice bucket time with dad! They get so fun as they grow up!

No,no,nooose picker!

It's kind of hard to tell, but she is actually saying,"No,no,no!"
She loves to get in trouble, she thinks it's so funny! She is so funny,but is already getting quite sassy! I don't know where she gets that from! :)

Go,Go,Go

She can say, "go,go,go" now which seems quite appropriate to me. :)
Then at the end she's doing some Lamaze breathing for reasons unknown.

Blowin the fishes kisses!

What a frencher!!

Try not to let my scary laughter in the background ruin this funny clip for you.
I swear we have no idea where she learned this! By the way, her tongue never really touches his mouth in case you were wondering.

Early Art Appreciation

"The Dads" teaching Torrance how to color.....not necessarily inside the lines.....or even on the paper. She also practiced on a step stool I use in the kitchen! :)

Crazy eights.

I know you can't see at the beginning but we zoom in at the end so you can see how she uses her whole hand instead of just her finger. :)

Blah,Blah,Round n' Round we go..

Mom and Dad you will probably like these clips

She is such a little chatterbox. She is just a girl I guess.
As for the circles.....I have no idea! As long as she's moving
she doesn't care what the direction is! :)

It's Halloween Time.........Almost!

I know, I am so bad, but I had to try it on so why not take some pics while she wasn't freaking out! :) She is a lamb in case you can't tell. Grandma Aston spoils her!

State Fair Time

Grandma and Grandpa Aston took us to the state fair when it came. Torrance loved the animals, she thought it was quite exciting...I thought it was quite smelly...but fun! Thanks G-ma and G-pa Aston!

Cousin Tayler looked so cute, he thought it was fun looking through the hole!
