All About The Girls:

The Facts About Evelyn:
1)She eats, sleeps, and dreams in Princess mode and land. She wears dress-ups all day long, and asks me to call her Princess Evelyn!!
2)Amy is at our house every day (Evelyn's pretend friend)and I always tell Evelyn she has to go home. In my opinion she is weird and not a good influence on her!! Tonight while in the bathtub she said..."Today Amy climbed up and got your scissors and poked me in my bottom and now I have an owie there". Oh brother....She also mentioned that Amy has pink/white hair and 4 kids 2 girls and two boys. Amy also teaches Zumba and Pilates as well. She is a very interesting little girl/grownup...her age changes all the time.
3)About once a day Evelyn says "Mom, I love to have a little sister, Lyla is so cute and chubby." "When are you gonna have a boy?"
4)She loves to play computer games but is only allowed 20 min. a day. She is getting good at doing the lds.org puzzles. She is a pro at puzzles.
5)She is my alarm clock every morning. She comes into my rooms climbs into bed and lays there. Sometimes she will wake me up to tell me hello, and stroke my face. But, she knows I don't want to get out of bed until Lyla is awake. It's a great system we have going on:D
6)She tells me once a day that she misses Daddy and wants him to come home and play with her.
7)She still likes to chomp on carrots and spinach. But likes some candy and sweets now and again too.


Facts About Lyla:
1)She is a monkey and climbs everywhere. Her latest endeavor is our bar stools at which she goes to the countertop and roams around on there. Or our computer desk, and if you try to stop her or move the furniture so she can't do it...well you will see a major fit my friends..BEWARE!!
2)She also is about to leap out of her crib...I am just waiting for the thud sound...hate it when they start to figure out its a prison and they want to get out. ugg.
3)She is the biggest sweetheart ever. I mean she wants a hug and kiss 24/7. She will just come up to Trent or I and hug us and loves to be cuddled. I love this about her.
4)She is getting about 10 teeth at once, its so painful for her. At least she is starting to chew her food instead of swallowing it whole.
5)She loves outside. Does everything Evelyn does out there. If Evelyn sits on the ground she does, or puts leaves in her baby stroller she does. It's pretty funny and cute.
6)She would only eat marshmellows, icecream,and milk if I let her. This girl loves her sweets Evelyn was never really like that at her age.
7)Is a little too attached to her bottle...I mean crazy about it. Won't drink milk or go down without it. This has got to change and I need to come up with a solution. I am hoping to have her off of it in the next 5 months.

New Years Weekend...Better Late Than Never!

These were pics from New Years Weekend at my brother Josh's house in South Jordan. Almost all of the Askeroth kids made it minus two (Isaac & Elliah). We had a wonderful time. I wish someone would have told me that my bangs looked really bad. Ugg I am in a hair funk. This trip was fabulous cause we got to see my brother Jacob and his wife Kelli and son Liam. They currently live in Michigan. And my nieces Cameron, Carys, & Afton were down from Toronto, Canada. It was such a fun day filled with lots of laughter and great conversations!!

Weekly Ten...

1)First thing that comes to mind about this week. I had a photo shoot lined up... Got out my camera to put in the battery and load the card. My camera refuses to turn on....yes it's true. Out of all the camera's I have had I never have had this problem happen. I tried 3 different batteries I had, that were all charged. Trent found a separate watch like battery, I replaced that...no luck. I am pretty depressed about it. On a more happy note, it might give me the chance to upgrade to a nicer one. We don't have $1,000 plus to do so right now. But, I have some shoots I need to do. Plus I like the feeling of being able to shoot a great photo of my kids or whatever/whenever I want to. We will see...why Canon 40D why?? The End
2)I revamped my front room this week: My mom helped me hang a bunch of canvas photos I made of us. They really look amazing up. Thankyou Pinterest for all of your amazing ideas, that are cheap and really doable and inspiring!!
3)Also took down my drab curtains in my front room, brought some color & texture to them. With a stamp I made. Ya, I was up until one in the morning but they were so worth it. Even though I was gonna puke if I had to make one more stamp.....kinda made a mess but I love love how they turned out!!! Photos soon to come.
4)Took down my Christmas...it was a big job but felt good as well. To get a fresh start, and get my projects on, ya know!!
5)Trent is starting to transfer all of our VHS's to DVD's, this is a lot of work but will be sweet. We love all of our VHS movies, but are sick of storing them..ya know? Will be a long time before this is complete.
6)Trent hurt his lower back and was very grateful to stroll on over to my Dad's office to get fixed. It is slowly back to normal. I really don't know what we would do without my dad here, I am THE LUCKIEST ASKEROTH KID EVER!! Oh yes siblings be jealous.
7)We tried to put Lyla down for a nap today only, after she wouldn't go to sleep Trent went in there and found her almost falling face first out of her crib...which means its only a matter of time before she falls out of her crib face first. Evelyn didn't attempt this tactic until later in life. Now I won't always know she is safe and can't get out, lovely.
8)Evelyn has been really sweet lately. And usually when I ask her to do something her reply is "Of Course Mommy!" Oh ya that is the response I love to hear. She also loves to help me clean most of the time. She always keeps her room picked up. And picks up the front room for me too.
9)I finally got some new people out at my class. I hope they really like it, and come back. And that more people are willing to come check it out. It really will do wonders for your body and its so fun to get new people to add to our group. If you are reading this...come see what my class can do for you..I promise you will love the results and company!!
10)Attended our stake conference it was really good. It is a little easier when we sit by grandparents, the kids are more willing to stay by you instead of run around everywhere. We are really grateful to be living here in this valley, it's home and we love it!!

Happy New Year ( Weekly Ten)!!!!

1)My youngest brother Ty got his mission call to the Australia Perth Mission. He leaves May 23rd 2012. We are so excited for him. What a cool place to go. Trent is jealous this is the exact mission he wanted to get called too. Here are some pics.
2)We celebrated the new year with the Askeroth's at my brother Josh's house. We stayed at a hotel Friday & Sat. night. We also met up with some friends.
3)Went to the Shandra & Jason McBride's apartment to visit and meet their new baby girl Olivia...I took photos and she is a doll.
4)Met up with Zach & Elizabeth Hall at Brick Oven. It was awesome to meet their baby girl as well. Another beauty if I say so myself. We have such great friends. They were visiting from Texas and we were so happy to catch up with them.
5)Stopped by Mike & Katie Smith's - They also just had a baby girl...YES EVERYONE IS HAVING GIRLS. We drove by our old house and I had to stop by and say hello. I didn't see her baby girl cause she was in intensive care and I didn't walk in her house..it was just a door visit.
6)Ate wayyyyyyyy tooooooo muuuuuuuuchhhhhh chocolate. Ok I really need to get off of this stuff. My goal this next week, to now eat any this whole next week...I think I can do it.
7)Spent the last week enjoying our new TV and toys. It has been a fun week.
8)I don't know what Santa told Evelyn but she has been the sweetest little girl this week. When I ask her to do something she responds "of course", she is so nice to Lyla and helpful.
9)I don't know what Santa told Lyla, but this whole week she has been a monster...and really needy and well, loves to throw fits, scream as high as she can, and do what she wants!!!

I NEED HELP!!

Wanna Know How Cool I Am?? When I was pregnant with Lyla I noticed my eyesight getting worse, mostly while driving. So, I got me some glasses, regular & sunglasses. Oh how I loved loved my prescription sunglasses. One trip back up to Provo. We stopped along I-15 to trade drivers. All I remember is that They were on top of my head, when I switched seats with Trent, they were never seen again. Oh how I looked and looked for those. It was a very sad day, fast forward until 2 days ago (Christmas) my wonderful/amazing hubby surprised me with a new pair of prescription sunglasses. Oh how I held them and held them. Today I made a trip to Mesquite to take Lyla to the doctor. Best drive ever, basically I am such a happier driver when I can see. I take off my sunglasses, put them in their case and set them in the car door. I go to my Zumba class...I come back and park the car. I could see something in the driveway.................you guessed it. It was my sunglasses my friends. I pick them up...as I am screaming (NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)!! I open up the case and they are broken. YES BROKEN...ONE OF THE SIDES BROKE CLEAR OFF. BUT THE LENSES WERE GOOD...ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!! HOW DID THEY GET OUT HERE, DID THEY GET RUN OVER OR STEPPED ON? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? I NEED HELP??? OH MY GOSH. I TOOK THEM INSIDE WITH MY HEAD DROOPING DOWN. AND WAS LUCKY TO GLUE THE ONE SIDE BACK ON.... SO THEY WILL SURVIVE ONE MORE DAY WITH ME. AT FIRST I WASN'T GONNA TELL TRENT BUT I DID. YES I DID, HE WAS A LITTLE SHOCKED. I KNOW HE THINKS I AM WEIRD....THE END

Our Christmas...GRAND (Weekly 10 Too)!!

1)Went to Walmart 100 times trying to get ready for Christmas.
2)Taught 2 night classes this week, it was fun, wish I could do more nights...I just wanna get more people and I think nights are easier for them.
3)Cleaned my house a ton....got stressed over it...got messy...cleaned it again.
4)Listened to Michael Buble Christmas CD over and over again...oh yes I am sad to stop.
5)Stuffed my face way too much...with Goodies and anything in my line of vision...hungry or not.
6)Got to spend so much time with wonderful family members.
7)Had our first Christmas morning ever with the girls...it was awesome and we will never go back to giving up our morning. It was magical!!
8)We get so spoiled every year but this year, Trent's parents gave us the ultimate gift...a 47" flatscreen tv...They gave one to Ty & Annie and us. CAN YOU SAY CHA-CHING? Trent and I have been wanting one since our first boxy one was given to us for our wedding....But didn't want to fork over the money for one just yet...well no need to now.
9)All of our family members gave the girls and us great gifts that were well thought out. The girls...they got loaded with lots of new stuff, that hopefully will keep them occupied for the next year...lol.
10)Santa Gifts: A play kitchen, baby strollers, dress-ups, Lyla's first baby doll. Trent gave me prescription sunglasses...I lost my last pair and have missed them dearly. So, he got me some new ones. It was really sweet of him. He also gave me a hands free verizon wireless phone to use in the car. Cause as of Jan. 2012 its against the law in NV to talk on your cell phone in the car. Yeppers, it stinks...buy I agree with him in a way. lol I gave Trent a bench grinder, he insisted he needed one after giving me the scare of a lifetime when he cute his finger with a bigger grinder and passed out in the summer. I thought it would be a great gift as well. We also added these movies to our stash: August Rush, Wolverine X-Men, The Cat In The Hat, The Blind Side. It was a great, fabulous, joyful, sweet, fun Christmas!!
