Jesus

After finding blue crayon drawn into our downstairs carpet, Matt and I bring Ashlyn to the spot and ask her, "Ashlyn, did you draw on the carpet with your crayon?" Ashlyn looks straight up at us, dead in the eyes and says, "Nope. Jesus did it."

I'm sick

I get ready WAY too early in the mornings due to the time I have to be at work. A good day for me is when I can get completely ready before Ashlyn comes in and starts begging me not to leave. This morning was not one of those mornings. Ashlyn came bursting through the bathroom door, with that sweet little head of hair all in her face, coughing like crazy! I immediately picked her up and set her on the potty. All this time she is still coughing and wiping her runny nose.
Me: Are you not feeling well this morning?
Ashlyn: I been coughing all last nights. I need to see a doctor. I'm REALLY sick.

A little prayer

Me: It's time to pray before we eat. Why don't you say the prayer?
Ashlyn: Dear Jesus, thank you for my mommy, thank you for my daddy, thank you for a healthy new baby, thank you for Jesus, Amen!

Kaitlyn Blueberry

Ashlyn and I were riding in the car the other day discussing the gender of our new baby.
Ashlyn: I think its a girl Mommy.
Me: What are you going to call that baby?
Ashlyn: ummm...I think....how about Kaitlyn?
Me: Kaitlyn? Where did you hear that name?
Ashlyn: I don't know.
Me: You know what Ashlyn, our baby is about the size of a blueberry right now! Isn't that funny?
Ashlyn: Oh! I know! We can call her Kaitlyn Blueberry Powell!


No worries, our chosen girl name is an "A" name without blueberry:)
