The Ravsten Family

Ashley

Where has the time gone? Ashley is growing up so fast!

Giving me attitude for trying to make her stand still.

She is such a sweet and pretty little girl.

She's always happy.

Trying to open the door so she can go outside with her brothers.

Clearance!

I love Old Navy clearance! I found Ashley this adorable coat for $10, regularly $40. :)

A couple of weeks ago, we finally got snow! It snowed about 12-18 inches over two days which rarely happens in Missoula. We took the kids sledding at a park a few blocks from the house, got the van stuck and had a lot of fun. Ashley liked going down the hill but she couldn't or wouldn't really move in her snow suit. She kept trying to get into the sled with her brothers the best she could in her "Randy" suit. Most of the time she just sat or laid there watching the action.

The boys had fun taking turns and helping each other.

All three kids going down and then...

CRASH!!! Ashley just laid there waiting for someone to come and get her.

Because it's so Much More Fun to Play in the Toybox!

We got some new furniture for Christmas and the kids think it is so much more fun to play IN the ottoman than on the floor.

Little Ballerina

Ashley is all girl. I love her little legs in this picture.

She loves to get her hair done and get dressed. She is also obsessed with shoes.

New Duds

New Sunday Clothes from Grammy.

Aren't they so cute?

Ashley with some awesome bedhead

Nickolas LOVES sour cream. He eats it by the spoonful. Here he is licking it off of the safety seal.

Ashley is always happy and getting into mischief.

Silly little monkies.

Christmas 2011

Christmas Eve 2011

I made the kids matching jammies this year and they turned out really cute.

Mathias, Nickolas and Ashley

Christmas did not go as planned this year. We were planning to go to Rexburg, ID to be with Brian's family but a nasty stomach bug made us stay home. Nickolas got sick the Tuesday before Christmas and was sick for about 5 or 6 days. Ashley started throwing up on Christmas eve. She had just thrown up right before and after this picture was taken. Mathias got the bug Christmas night. Thankfully, Mathias and Ashley were only sick for about 24 hours. Brian got sick over New Years while we were in Rexburg to visit family since we couldn't go over Christmas. I was the only one to not get sick. Lucky me! I just got to clean it all up. :)

Santa had just visited! Mathias really got the whole Santa thing this year and was so excited. We put the kids to bed early and Mathias was trying so hard to go to sleep but he was just too excited to sleep. We would go check on the kids every half hour or so and Mathias was laying there trying his hardest to keep his eyes closed. It was so cute. Nickolas was excited because Mathias was excited and they had a good day.
