The Ear Piercing

Hey Dad,
Ashlyn has reached a milestone in her little life. She got pierced ears. She had been asking for them for a while now, and Marshall finally gave in. Lynda and I took her to the mall for this very exciting event. Poor little Ash was really excited when we left the house, and grew more apprehensive as she sat in the chair.
Here are the photos of the big day.

These videos are as the piercing got closer. In this one she is clearly having second thoughts.

Here Ashlyn is getting her surgical gloves on too.

Ashlyn is not fooled…gloves or not gloves.

For those grandparents with squeamish stomachs, this is the piercing.

This video is of Ashlyn showing grandpa her new earrings. She is still supper sad.

Popsicles & Sprinklers

Here are some photos of Ben, Ashlyn, and Kody. They are having fun in the back yard with the sprinkler. Ben has figured out a very unique way to not get his head wet. It is bucket head. They are also enjoying the popsicles!
