This past week has been very emotional and I am happy to say it has all turned out well. My mom started to feel bad a few weeks back and went to the doctor and they ran some tests. They ended up finding a spot on her liver and wanted to run more tests to find out what it is. After a few scary days of waiting and praying we got the word that all is ok. Thank the Lord - the pain has ended up just being due to asthma and it is nothing serious. Hopefully they have figured it out and she is on the mend.
Big things are happening in the Platt household but we will address that at a later time. It is a very exciting and happy time and I am just soaking it all in.
I can't believe that Easter is almost here! My mom gave me my old Easter basket so we can use it for Ashley. Justin brought it up out of the basement and Ashley has been carrying it around like it is a purse. I'm kicking myself for not getting a picture of it - maybe I will ask for a new camera for my birthday...

So sweet!
Absolutely love days like today - make the tough days seem not so tough! Ashley was super cute tonight. First she heard me telling Justin that my knee was hurting and she insisted on kissing my boo-boo to make it feel better. I think she asked to kiss my boo-boo at least 10 times. Just now Justin was taking her up to bed...she ran in and gave me a kiss and said good night. As she was walking up the stairs she yelled to me "good night princess mommy!". Love that little girl :)

Big Swide?!
Last night we went over to Nana and Papaw's house for dinner. On the drive over we go down this hill and the road curves around as you are going down the hill. As we are driving down the hill Ashley says "weeeee - big swide!" (big slide). I said "yes, that is a big slide for the car".
Tonight we went over to my sisters house who lives across the street from my parents and therefore we drive down the big slide to go there too. We didn't warn Ashley that the "big swide" was coming. As we start down the hill she is in mid sentence and then a squeal comes out of her and she yells "WEEEEEE!!!!! BIG SWIDE!!!!!" and I turn around and she has her hands in the air like she is riding a roller coaster.
It is so much fun seeing the world through the eyes of a toddler :)

Cookies!!
We were planning on going to the park this morning and enjoying the nice weather...then the storms rolled in. Ashley and I decided we would do something fun and make some Spring/Easter cookies together! Luckily the batch only made 9 cookies so I won't be tempted to eat them all :)
Ashley was such a big helper. Love her pink camo pajamas!
Ashley "helped" ice and decorate the cookies - I'm pretty sure there is about a pound of icing and sugar sprinkles on each of them. I wouldn't be surprised if eating one causes a sugar induced coma!
If you can't tell they are bunnies and butterflies. Ashley was so excited to eat one but I told her we had to wait until daddy got home and we would have one for dessert after dinner. I think she asked me about 500 times if she could eat a cookie. Finally, it was time and she got to pick one out and eat it.
She is ready for summer!!

It turned out to be a nice afternoon and we were able to enjoy a little outdoor time while cooking dinner on the grill. Ashley was really excited to get to wear her new dress and princess flip-flops from her Gannie.

Spring is in the air!
We are absolutely loving this weather! Glad to see the rain from yesterday is long gone and we were able to get much needed playtime in outside. We opened the windows today and it feels so good in the house and nice to smell the fresh air.
Ashley is slightly obsessed with the little girl that lives across the street. Her name is Emily, Ashley pronounces it Emma-bee. Anytime we are outside she wants to go look for Emily and if she is out there she wants to chase behind her while she rides her bike or scooter. Well today Emily (who is 7 or 8) came over to our backyard to play with Ashley in her playhouse/swing set. Ashley was in heaven!!! I was inside making dinner while Justin was in the back yard with them and the squeals of laughter and delight coming from Ashley were precious! Her and Emily were on the seesaw swing together and I don't think I have seen a bigger smile on that child. It was the sweetest sound to hear :)
After dinner daddy decided to wash the cars and he had a little helper. She washed and scrubbed the same little spot on the front bumper for at least 15 minutes. Her shirt was absolutely soaked but she was having a blast.
We brought Ashley's tricycle up from the basement the other day and she has been "trying" to ride it in the house. We took it outside and she was riding it back and forth in the garage. She was doing such a good job with keeping the peddles going. She amazes me how quickly she changes and grows. Something she couldn't do a few months ago she is able to conquer now.
And now it is time to head upstairs for bathtime - daddy bought Ashley some Princess bubble bath at the store and she is super excited to take a bath!!

Ashley's First Official Haircut
We had a very eventful weekend! Friday Justin worked a half day and we headed down to Corbin for the weekend to visit Gannie and Papaw. We managed to time the trip perfect and missed all the crazy storms and tornadoes on the way down. We knew the weather was going to get bad there around dinner time so we kept our eye on the weather channel. When the storms were getting closer we decided to head to town and get out of the line of fire since it isn't really safe at Gannie and Papaw's house up on the hill. We ended up hanging out in K-Mart for 2 hours because they declared a Tornado Warning in the area. Luckily we didn't get hit but it did take out a town about 20 miles up the road!
On Saturday we took Ashley to get her very first official haircut!! Nana has given her some mini haircuts in the past but this is the first time she actually had a professional cut it. Her hair was out of control and in her face so we got it trimmed and bangs cut. She was not too interested in the beginning until a sucker was introduced and then the lady could do whatever she wanted - Ashley had a sucker and she was happy! It is a little shorter then I wanted but it does look pretty cute :)
We had a very nice time hanging out and having Ashley get spoiled by Gannie and Papaw. We headed back home on Sunday afternoon. It was very eerie on the way home driving down past the towns and seeing the tornado damage.
