ashley dawn: mother of six

so as many of you know i get the wonderful opportunity to watch my siblings kids when they go out of town. i absolutly love doing this cause i always get to have so much fun. my sister went to visit her hubby while he was working in atlanta and this is what i ended up doing with her six kids!(i had never really babysat all six before it was usually just the oldest four) one day we went to the discovery park to eat lunch then play an amazing game of hide and seek.

lunch was pb&j a classic

it was super hot this time of year so i got us little water bottles and the little girls were just so cute drinking from them

scared!

happy!

they have these cute little beehives that you can sit in

not as easy for her as for the littles

they are just too cute for words

she was a little big

tight squeeze!

climbing in a dinosoar head

i couldnt sit on the seats

these always make me sick

he spun her so fast she almost fell off

counting together we all took turns being with the littles

hiding shhh

looking at whoever was passing over us

she was such a good hider

coming to find us

i was afraid to go down the metal one becuse i didnt want to get burnt

for some reason the big little seemed to end up counting a lot of the time

peek a boo

they wouldnt havefound me but i took a piture as they passed me and the shutter sound gave me away

staying hydrated

this was the cutest pose for counting in the world

they walked right past my hiding place

this was a good place to hide

hiding under the play place

yes she found us

finding her brother

found her

got you! me and the big little were amazing at finding people we caught everyone

i love how she has her eyes colesed trying to hide from us

this was the second time i checked this place he moved there after i had looked the first time

coming back after being caught

waiting at home base

we hid in the picnic area and it was nice and shaddy perfect for a nap

cheese

getting cool after the park

i love turning on the sprinklers and jumping on the tramp

i could only find one towl

ok so we went up the canyon with my friend and my figre fighter but he didnt come till latter and we wanted to prove that we could build a fire so this is us building a fire and we did it with only one match to quote someone i am very found of booya!

my one match fire

it really didnt get cold

my special chair i got for my birthday it has a conopy so cool

yummy smores

one of my best friends

the little little fell asleep before we left so she stayed at the grandparents but the big little had fun

they were very good around teh fire i only had to tell the little once to not get to close

kicking back in the littles chair

they became best friends

my firefighter!

and no he did not pose for tihs he was actually just sitting that way

i told them not to move and they obeyed

yes she is asleep and she kept doing the most random things with her hands

she made her pick her own nose it was so funny

breakfast at ihop and yes i did get weird looks when i walked in with six kids

love these boys

i said that the orange juice tasted a lot like tropicana just to look at the jar and find out that is was

such beautiful girls

im not sure what that face is for but it is way cute

they were very good and ate all of their food

i love this little one so much!

ok so lehi has what it calls foam days and they have huge blowup toys and lots of fun stuff then they have the fire department come and shoot massive amounts of foam on the kids it is crazy but it was free and a lot of fun

train ride

they each got a free baloon thing

cute face painting

i couldnt believe how fast she was at it each one took less then a minute

cute flowers

so cute

she had such a hard time picking which one she wanted

it turned out awesome though

simple and cute

i cant believe that the women who took this couldnt tell she cut off the little oh well

getting ready for foam

love her face

that is just the start of the foam

i didnt want foam to get in there eyes

there were so many kids i was surprised i didnt loose one of them

resting

free watermellon

post foam

we went and saw how to train your dragon

she was saving my firefighter a seat. he kept humming along with the score and then he would tell me the name of the song it was so cute. then he said i was like astrid a girl in the movie who is one tough chick and at one point she hits a boy and he was like "see just like you" then right after that she kissed the boy...he didnt comment on that:) he did however sit next to me on sunday when i brought all the kids to church with me we got some odd looks and after getting those looks from some friends he texted them and said "i have only cuddled and held her hand i dont know where these kids came from"
