Whew! What a week!

 This is not from this week. But I didn't know if I had mentioned that Ayslin was now in soccer...or at least she was, her last soccer game is on Saturday.

 She takes it very serious and is actually and surprisingly really good at it. I say surprisingly because Lynn and I seem to have two left feet when it comes to most sports.

 Ayslin has now lost both of her front teeth and she got a dollar. I forgot and told her not to look under her pillow (oops) and this was all I had. At the rate she is losing teeth we're going to go broke giving out dollar bills.

 Here is Ayslin's Halloween costume. She loves it and is really excited. Sorry for my lack of enthusiasm, but I am so tired. It's been a long day. 

 Here she is trying it on for me. Yeah, I might want to make sure it fits her duh. The problem was that she was in bed...asleep and it was my only day I could sew. Later we glued some flowers on the yarn hair.

 Can I just say YEAH! That Lynn is done with his surgery rotation. I have barely been able to see him. Between my study hours (10 PM-1:30-ish AM) and his waking/working hours (4:30 AM-7:00 PM, give or take a few hours) we have been having the worst time scheduling family time. Lynn is about 70% sure he wants to go into Urology (I don't even know if that's how it's supposed to be spelled, but frankly, I am too tired).

 Ayslin last Saturday. Lynn took her so that I could study, he's such a good Husband/Father/Daddy!

 I have tried to have Ayslin get her clothes ready the night before school since it is quite the undertaking in the mornings (at least for her) and this is how she does it. Either that, or she lays it on the floor in the exact order she would wear it. It's pretty funny and I laugh every time I see it.

 Lynn bought me these for our anniversary, yup, it was our anniversary on Sunday, but I had two tests today and I think I have one on Thursday. I say think because I can't remember if it is this week or the next, I've been too busy with the last two I had. Chemistry and Math. :/ Oy! We've been married for 7 years and I have to say that it has been the best years of my life!

 It was also crazy hair day at school for Ayslin. She kept saying, "I don't want all the kids to laugh at me, I don't want to have crazy hair". I had to keep telling her that everyone was going to do it, however, I am going to have to un-tell her this a few years down the road. Does anyone else see the mixed messages I give my kid?

 Later was her award ceremony and she was really worried about wearing her hair like that so I took it down and it looked like this. I thought it was funny, she did not. I still do. she still does not...she was mad. That's partly what makes this picture so great.

 Her stuff was in the washer so no uniform, darn. They got their medals and got to meet some of the players from the University.

 This is one of the players on the women's soccer team. We might go to a game this Sunday. Although it has been a while since we have been to church and Ayslin asked me in the car on the way if we could start going to church again. Uh, bad parenting moment right there.

 We took Ayslin to a "trunk or treat" in town and it was COLD, but she insisted that she didn't feel a thing with her chiffon-ish sleeves. They were too pretty to put a coat over, at least that's what she thinks. You should see the looks this kid makes and the poses...oh, the poses! This is her friend from school. I forgot her name, but it is one of the names off of Ayslin's Barbie princess movies and Ayslin thinks it is SO beautiful.

They had fun together! Now, I need some sleep.

It's Fall over here and we Love it!

This has to be super quick because I have homework and I am working out (P90X) Blah,

So, I didn't buy school pictures, I thought they were a rip off and they looked like crap. Now I am no photographer, I'll be the first to admit, I'm not even an amateur...I like to think aspiring?...anyway, Ayslin felt a little bad so I told her I would take some this week. So these are a few that I liked. If you take enough, you're bound to get a couple good shots right?  

 We also went to a local Park that is so pretty right now with the colors changing. Lynn had to work at the hospital so we were on our own, but Ayslin took a few of me, I took a few of her and the self timer took a few. Ayslin is not too bad, though most of the one's she took weren't focused on what she was trying to capture. Here are a bunch of photos from our beautiful fall.

kindergarteners and old people

 Ayslin with her burned hand all bandaged up. :( My poor baby.

 Here's her leg a couple of weeks ago it looks much better now, not completely better, but a lot more than this picture.

I am allergic to the adhesive on tape and Ayslin recently developed an allergy to it as well so we had to leave the bandages off of it. However, it was mostly scabbed over by the time we took them off permanently. I first noticed when I took off her bandage one night (we changed them every morning and night) and she said it was itching and she had little blisters all over where the tape had been.

Her hand was a much worse burn so we are just now taking off the bandages sometimes to let it air out a bit. We still use tape when we cover it we just make sure it's only on the wrap and not on her skin.

 Here's Ayslin the day before school started at an open house to see her school, she's in front of her cubby. She was so excited.

 Here she is in her class again.

 and yup, one more time.

 The first day of school was so exciting for her, she rides the bus (even though we live less than a mile from it....?) She likes to bring lunches and when I asked her if she wanted hot lunch she said no because it stinks. I love packing her lunches anyway because she thinks it is pretty special.

 Ayslin and her friend Elijah waiting for their bus to come (which by the way, comes late every day)

 They're so darn cute and it's nice to see them every day if only for a little while (Elijah and his family).

 Ayslin...Oooow, I could just squeeze her!!! She thinks she is SO grown up now too.

 Oops, almost the same picture, but I don't want to delete it.

 It was Lynn's birthday a couple of weeks ago and we finally went out on a date!!! We went out to eat and to a movie. it was so nice to get out.

 The next day I made him his favorite cake ( a banana cream pie) I didn't put enough candles on it though because I didn't want to melt the pie. So now he's OLD!!!

 Lynn opening his presents.

I am so glad that Ayslin is on the mend  and is such a cute kindergartener!!!
