First Comes Love...

Then Comes Marriage...
and Then Comes the Baby in the Baby Carriage!

Reese Madison Howard is due on August 26th!

I Can't Believe it's November!

This weekend was a pretty eventful...

Teddy blew air into his dry suit and looked like a 300 lb. man... he couldn't even move.

Joey and I cuddling up on the lake. I love that it is the end of November and we are out playing on the water.

Haley and I relaxing on the boat...<3>

Chris loves to have his picture taken while he is trying to watch the Laker game.

Chris, Joey and Teddy on Fiday night.

I love Mari!!! Everytime Joey and I hang out with Chris and Mari we always have such a great time. I don't know what we would do without them, because they are so fun! Friday night consisted of eating soup, watching t.v., chatting, and to Mari getting an extreme allerigic reaction to my cat. She tried to play it off as though it was allergies from the weather, but towards the end of the night her eyes were bright red and I felt horrible. Next time we are going out to dinner. :)

My favorite new word from Urban Dictionary for this week is:

Stoptional : When the braking of a car is left to one's choice due to an unnecessary stop sign.
Ex: Passenger: Did you just blow through that stop sign?

Driver: Oh, no worries. It was stoptional.

For the random picture of our bed...

So the picture below is of our new comforter and pillows for our bed. Linda Spiker makes the prettiest looking beds and I am try to make mine look pretty. My bed is looking better, but it still doesn't look like Linda's. Honestly, she has making pretty beds down to a science. My bed looks better than it did last week, but I am still missing the "Linda look". Maybe I need more pillows, or another blanket...? Hmm???

This Week...

Mammoth is open and Joey is snowboarding right now as I type. But the best news of all is that June is opening on December 13th and we can't wait!!! Joey and Teddy have been up at the cabin since Thursday to fix the shower and to snowboard, while I have been working. :(

I can't wait to sit by the fire at our old, little cabin and drink hot apple cider. Once the mountain is open Joey and I will be gone every weekend to enjoy the snow, make snowmen, have snowball fights, sled, and play with the pups. My favorite part about winter, besides the holidays, is that the weekends are all about Joey and I having fun and making memories of all of our snowy adventures.

Our Anniversary

One year ago.

I am a Space Ranger! Ha ha

The Banana's Foster!!!


Candy Corn Crop!

For our anniversary Joey and I went to Disneyland. We didn't get there until about 1, because I had to work, but we managed to go on all the rides that we love. We ended up going on the Buzz Lightyear ride twice, because Joey beat me at the laser tag game. So on the second time I beat him. For those of you that don't know, I am extremely competitive and when we go back to Disneyland in December, not only will I beat Joey, but I plan on winning and becoming champion of the Buzz Lightyear Ride. After we were done playing we went to eat at one of my favorite restaurants called Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen. The food was delicious and we ordered Banana's Foster for dessert. I have come to terms with getting fat in October, because the Halloween candy and yummy desserts are never ending this month.

P.S. The first year anniversary is supposed to be paper, so I legally changed my name to Howard and showed Joey my new S.S. card. Yay! So now I am officially Ashley Howard!

Trying to Post Once a Week for Court...

My wonderful husband got me a Pilates Reformer for our anniversary and I am in love with it! It is so beautiful and I am so appreciative to have my own machine to practice on, so that I can finish my certification program. I have already started training a few clients on it and everyone loves it. (THANKS babe!!!)

I finally put up some of our wedding photos. Yay!!

It's Almost Our 1 Year Anniversary!

In a couple of weeks, Joey and I will be celebrating our 1 year anniversary. The bad news is that I have not legally changed my name, and I have not printed ANY of our wedding photos! I can't believe that it has been a year and now I feel like a slacker. So to make to up for my slackiness I plan on printing pictures, hanging pictures and eventually one day changing my name.
