Yay!!! Family came to visit!!!

Grandma and Grandpa Behling and Cox came to PA to visit and be to Ashley's Baptism. While they were here we did a lot of fun things. We went to Station Square to shop. We ate at Hard Rock Cafe, and we rode the incline to overlook Pittsburgh.  Ashley was babpized and confimed a member of the church on Sunday by Josh. Both Grandpas gave great talks. Monday we went to Dor-Stop to eat breakfast. It has been featured on The Food Network Chanel. It had great food and was lots of fun! Yay for family coming to visit!!!

 The boys had so much fun with blow guns. They were constatly having competitions!

 Ashley and her friend Sarah!

 Cousins!!!

 Getting told the future by a machine Fortune Teller!

 Guess who each of these scary Steeler fans are?

 Fun at Station Square!

Valentine's!

 I made Valentine's box's for  Ashely and her friend Tori. I found the ideas on Pintrest. A robot and a monster! Soooo cute!

 I ordered Josh an Edible Arrangement for Valentine's.

Just a little snow!

 Hunter and his friend Dylan went out to sled in our back yard. There is very little snow, and not much of a hill to sled down. Instead of using a sled they decided that a garbage sack was better.  Half the fun for them was trying to get back up the little hill in the garbage bag. Ha! They slipped and fell down a lot.  It provided them over an hour of fun.

Ashley is so excited to get Baptized!

Ashley will be getting baptised on Sunday, February 19th at 5 pm. She has been telling all her friends at school about it. She is the only member in her school so they have no idea what she is talking about. Ha! She has invited some of her friends and they are planning on coming.

 I am so thankful for the Gospel. We have a lot of friends at church. It's so nice to have an instant family no matter where you live. I love being a Mormon. Ha! I also have a lot of friends here that don't belong to the church and they are great people too. A lot of them know we are Mormon's hopefully we are being good examples and one day they will want to know more about our beliefs!

Ashley's Birthday!

Happy 8th Birthday Ashley! We had  had lots of fun! I bought Build a Bear kits at Kmart. The girls played games to earn "Birthday Tokens". The games; Birthday bingo, freeze dance, musical chairs, pin the tail on the donkey, they had to color a cute wood magnet from Joanns, draw the friend sitting next to them on a balloon, and play the game where you try to roll doubles with dice and then suck M&M's with a straw from a bowl and put them in their own cup. After they collected all the "Birthday Tokens" they could shop at the Birthday Store.  That's where they bought all the stuff to make their bears. (Unstuffed bear, stuffing, dress, birth certificate, needle, thread, and bag for their bear.) It was hilarious they way they wanted their bears stuffed. Some girls worried about their bears being too fat. Some wanted them to be fat. Sarah (the friend in blue next to Ashely) didn't want her bear to have stuffing in it's head. Haha! Ashley opened her presents. She opened them in the order of who won the games because there wasn't a prize for game winners, everyone got a birthday token regardless. They ate rainbow cupcakes, they were so good that everyone ate 2! We had 2 hours of fun (and a lot of caos)! I love you Ashley!

I told her she could have any cake she wanted. I would buy her a cake, bake her a cake, whatever. She chose a simple Jello cake. This is her dads favorite cake too.

She got lots of Birthday gift. Money from cousin, aunts, uncles, and grandma and grandpa Cox. Grandma and Grandpa Behling gave her a cute shirt and an American Girl craft kit. Josh and I gave her clothes, Mario Cart for the Wii,steerling wheels for the game, and other little things. SOOO spoiled!

Thanks to Pintrest we found a recipe for these rainbow cupcakes. Ashley helped me mix them.
