Although it's 75 degrees outside and feels like springtime, Christmas is officially upon us. My Saturday was completely full of...last minute shopping, last minute baking, and well, last minute last minutes. However, I did find some time to squeeze in my appointment at Dream Dinners...which (if you haven't tried it) is absolutely fabulous! I love the fact that I only spend an hour and a half making tasty, healthy meals, which I then take home. I run into friends and chit chat with the ladies. It's a kind of therapy for me...nice! When I walk out of the place I have a variety of meals that I can cook within 30 minutes and healthy ones too! SOOOOOO nice when you are a working mother of 3. Not to mention Darrell loves the food (and so do the kids for the most part). Which are asking what's for dinner as I type...hmmm...wonder what's for dinner tonight? Decisions, decisions!

Ashlee is bloggin!

I got to go to my first concert in a limo!!! It was soooooo cool! There were twelve other kids and three adults. We had lot's of fun on the ride and then we got to the Toyota Center and people thought we were celebrities getting out of our limosines. There were 5 limos and our church paid for everything! The kids who got to go to the Toby Mac concert in a limo won the church contest of bringing the most visitors. I got to go because mom is the sunday school teacher. The coolest part of the concert was when Toby Mac ran and jumped on a trampoline and landed on the dance crowd that was in front of the stage. And they carried him like he was floating in the water! It was the coolest concert ever!!! Toby Mac rocks!!!

This past week I began my new job as Media Coordinator for BACODA-Bay Area Council on Drugs and Alcohol. I will continue to tutor (a few hours a week), but eventually will give up my third job of doing toddler time at Chick-fil-a. I have to admit that I am very excited to be working full time again...although, it's a little crazy around the house. We are trying to get into a new routine. Darrell's business is slow right now, so he is able to help out at home and the girls are great helpers too! James goes to an in home childcare every day of the week now. He LOVES Miss Christie. He carries his lunchbox up to the door, knocks, and is sooo excited when she opens the door.

Let it snow!


The snow outside is beautiful! We obviously don't get to see it much around here, so when it happens we are soooo excited! The girls played until they were just too cold and had to come in. I can honestly say that it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
