We went to Disney On Ice last Saturday, and for breakfast I made Caden Mickey Mouse pancakes. For the week before we went Caden told everyone we were going to see Mickey in Salt Lake. He was SOOO excited!

We let Caden pick out a toy and he picked a Stitch. He picked out a Minnie Mouse for Ashlyn.

Waiting for the show to start. I think I was just as excited as Caden was!

Caden was singing along to the song in the Little Mermaid, when the which takes her voice. "Ahhhhh Ahhhhh" It was so cute!

Ashlyn needed a break before it was all over.

After a long day with no nap and lots of fun, Caden finally feel asleep on the way home.

New Chairs (kinda)

Joe's mom came down to for Ashlyn's surgery. While she was here, she fixed my kitchen chairs that she claims she messed up. (They were stained from Caden and she tried to clean them a couple months ago, and yes it did kind of make it worse, but it really wasn't her fault) Ashlyn and Caden decided to help Grandma out.

This is what my chairs looked like before and the fabric under them is what we used to fix them. ( I just realized I don't have a picture of the finished chairs, so I will have to post one later. But at least you can get the idea)

Eye Surgery

Ever since Ashlyn was born she always woke up with crusty eyes. We've known that it was because she had a clogged tear duct, but didn't really know what that meant. Come to find out when you have a clogged tear duct your eye doesn't drain the tears properly. This is a problem because Ashlyn's eye was infected and we didn't even know it, until I mentioned the crusty eyes to the dr. one day. I guess babies having a clogged tear duct is actually very common, but it usually fixes itself by three months, and usually is not seen in 6 months or older babies. And that's why she had to have surgery. I was freaking out because they had to put her under and she couldn't eat after midnight the night before. She usually wakes up at about 2:30/3:00 in the AM to eat and I didn't know how I was going to be able to not feed her and keep my sanity. So we decided to wake her up at 10:00 PM and we feed her at 11:00. Below is a picture of her trying to go back to sleep. She wasn't very happy with us. And above is a picture before she went into surgery. They put a purple dot above her eye so the dr. would know which eye to do the surgery on. Even though I was freaking out, everything went perfect. Later that day after everything calmed down she didn't even act like anything happened.

7 months old

Once more the time has come and Ashlyn is another month older. She turned 7 months on the 1st of March.
