This is what Ashlie kept saying over and over to Tony one day when they were out back doing some yard work. (I, of course, was rocking a crying baby.) He basically gave the obligatory nod and grunt, and continued with his work. She was very involved with her play, so he decided to see what was captivating this 3 year old. Low and behold, Ashlie was cradling and talking to a DEAD bird! Yes, that's right, a DEAD bird! She looked at Tony and once again said, "It's not real, huh Dad." And he screamed, "Yes it is, and it is DEAD!" He knocked it out of her hands, and raced her in for a full body sterilization! She was quite distraught over this for a few days, but eventually forgot about her dead bird.
As for Maxx and his crying, we have been to the doctor, and he has been diagnosed with acid reflux. So he is on prevacid-$4 a pill mind you- and I think that he is improving some. We should see even more improvement in the next few days. I then hope to retire the recliner as my new bed and once again sleep in my real bed, next to my husband. Maxx is 2 months old on the 26th, Aunt Cathy is 36 (I think) on the 26th. We have no big plans for Memorial Day, just to share some moments thinking about and remembering Payton, along with the other special people in our lives who we have lost.
Love to all!

So it's a dead bird? What's wrong with that? I often bring home roadkill as a cheap alternative to those pricey toys you buy in stores.
I have a question about the Kinko's reunion. You said it was for all who were eligable. I may need a list of those eligable before I can commit full. Ah what the hay, I'll be there even if Jen is there. (I assume she reads this since she has a link and all)
MAXX is so adorable and can't wait to get my hands on that little man!!To give him cuddles! I can't believe the dead bird!! We are all sick. It should be gone by next friday! Glad to get it over with before our trip!love ya!
Wow, sorry for the misspellings and improper sentence structures. There is a bonus though. Now you have 2 comments. It looks like your even more popular!
Hey Steph....I love the bird story. It is gross and funny at the same time. Your kids are so adorable and getting big!!
Sure, go ahead and let everyone know how old I am!! Wow a dead bird, even Hailey hasn't done that...just worms, beetles,boxelder bugs etc..
Can't wait for everyone to get together while Sarah & fam are here. Also sounds like Maxx is doing a bit better hooray! On a side note, little Aspen is finally gaining some weight..not even 9# yet but hopefully by next week or the following.
Love ya Cat
Good Saturday Morning (or afternoon as the case may be):
Hey, its a dead bird. Probably safer. I saw that Hitchcock movie when I was younger.
In defense of Cathy, she is not the only one with a "3" at the beginning of her age....
Love from Minnesota,
Dad, Rose, Jimi, & Toby
It's the 6th! Your public demands more post.
