James, Ashlyn & the Keiki: February 2014
http://ashjames.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
While February is still HOT and HAPPENING. Maybe it's the American in me, but I always have the urge to decorate according to the month's festivity. Living here however, has made those desires somewhat difficult. So, this is what we settled for:. Had to make use of all the baby food jars under the house). Quite a few things have happened this month:. Nana and Papa Aspinall. February Relief Society Meeting. They are from Orem, Utah. They met when he was 19 and she was 16! Hanging out with P5 Sisters.

http://ashjames.blogspot.com/2013/08/making-it-to-august-13.html
Making it to August '13. Years from now, I'll appreciate the fact that I kept a record of our young family days. Moving from Hawaii. Being away from all my family (boohoo….while James is probably like, FINALLY! Living in Samoa. My kids driving me nuts and into bipolar monster mom everyday….and then making me feel bad as soon as they hug me and apologize. James who turns me into bipolar monster wife everyday because we both know how to irritate the hell out of each other! So we have transitioned. 1Finally...

Additional Relief Society Meeting NOT Enrichment. Drum roll please……at the beginning of this month I was called as the Relief Society Meeting Coordinator, or in other words the person who plans Enrichment night. But now the Church has changed the name from "Enrichment" to "Additional Relief Society Meetings, lol. To which he responded, "Yes, I know the sisters need someone young with fresh ideas for their activities.". Christmas in September" Theme. This is the home of Sister. Madeline Arp, such a wo...

James, Ashlyn & the Keiki: March 2014
http://ashjames.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
While setting out our church clothes Saturday night, I asked Mahie what she wanted to wear. Lately, she has decided to ONLY wear a certain coral dress that she got in New Zealand for Christmas. Although it keeps her cool here in Samoa, it taken quite a 'beating' from every week of Nursery snacks and spills. Surprisingly, she pointed to a different dress that I almost forgot existed. No English required in figuring that one out! Then I thought….hmmmmmm, smiled back at that cheeky old woman and f...We̵...

Talofa everyone, as in we are BACK in Samoa! Was Hawaii all a dream? It came and went just as fast, although by the last week I was crying into my pillow missing James, but that's another story. SO yes, we're back….but guess what? No heatstroke at all. Dad came back with me. Yay! Forever grateful to have wonderful parents (including awesome in-laws too). I tried very hard to pack early, but in the end where was I? And Filipino Uncle TOOK CARE OF US! Samoa we are here. Was I sad to return? We’ve bee...

http://ashjames.blogspot.com/2014/02/back-at-it-2014.html
Back at it 2014. Have made it through ONE WHOLE YEAR of living in Apia, Samoa. Instead of apologizing (as I feel many of my past LONG AGO posts aways seem to start out as) for slacking off and backtracking to update ALL of our ten readers (anyone still following us? 8230;let's just dive into 2014. We returned from Christmas 2013 in New Zealand ready to make our resolutions/goals happen. Don't we all feel like that come January? Lastly, and MOST importantly, James definitely deserves ALL recognition for b...

http://ashjames.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
So last week was drama. It pathetically found us, as in the business we manage…….and like the smart people we are, things were taken cared of, allowing us to recover Saturday, Sunday and welcoming a fresh new week. *FYI- Dumb people, will always be dumb. Not necessarily uneducated, but just NO common sense or integrity. As you can see, James is the one with compassion and I'm the one still rolling my eyes! Mind you, the sister serving our crab salad was calling it coleslaw. hahaha. He just made 5 months).

He'll just roll around and kick, until you hand him a toy and then it's like nothing happened. I'm definitely one of those "Insta-Mom's". Who cares, I have no regrets when my family and I look back through old photo's and reminisce :). And Miss Mahie is still TWO, hahaha, or.let me count.27 months? To her plate and snacks 3) Brushing teeth. I miss Relief Society, but I...

Checking in at 7 MONTHS. Another favorite thing he enjoys above all, is pulling up on the couch and bouncing, even gnawing on the cushions. Nice ah the big hole on the side? Mum said the Joyce grand kiddies really left their mark on the family house :). Can't leave out big sister Mahie, whom Evan LOVES. He gets so excited when she's close. I know he can't wait to run around with her. Mahie had her top and bottom two at like 5 months! Still huge and getting longer. 7months wearing 9 months clothes. Lately...
