Random pics. . .


Playing with Grandma and Auntie while Mommy and Daddy are in Vegas for Aunt Erica and Uncle Darryl's wedding! :)


Ashley up to no good! hahaha


Loves to read and rock in Mommy's old rocking chair from when she was a little girl!



Ashley has loved "Ashes" the kitty since she was itty-bitty! She now lays her head on him and everything she is reading/doing Ashes gets to do too! He's used to it from growing up with Auntie Holly! ! !


Playing with the Kitty!


Grandma loves to clean and especially use the "Swiffer" around my house! Well, Kev and I look over one night and she is swiffering around the house. So, Grandma has created a cleaning monster! hahaha


Swiffer queen!


She is the best little cleaner! Thank you Grandma for teaching her so young!


Busy as usual!


She loves to put her own hats on now! Hilarious to see her walking around the house like this! :)



Taking charge - mommy no more pictures please! !

Halloween 2009

We had a great Halloween with friends, food, and trick-or-treating! Ashley loved her costume and left it on all night! She looked stinkin' adorable and had a blast going trick-or-treating for the first time. She went with her friend Maddie who was dressed as Minnie Mouse and the two were too cute!

They took candy from the people as they handed it to them, put the candy in their buckets, waved bye-bye to folks as we left, and loved watching all the other kiddos walking around in their costumes! Ashley carried her bucket really well - probably all her practice with carrying her purse around! hahaha

It was a great night and we loved spending it with our friends TJ, Tesha and Maddie!

Sedona Trip

So we had been in a our new house a week and I noticed my feet were wet while I was running the dishwasher and finishing some dishes! Well, how exciting but our dishwasher was broken and had been leaking every time anyone had run it! So the water flooded the bottoms of all my new cabinets! HOW FUN! !
So they had to tear off the kick panels to all the floor cabinets to determine the damage and brought in 6 industrial sized fans to dry out the wood. They also sprayed some bleach/cleaner to prevent any mold issues!
Well, Daddy being the awesome guy he is- booked us a weekend in Sedona so we wouldn't have to live with the horrible noise/smell in our kitchen/nook area for the next 3 days! Luckily we have our timeshare and were able to escape quickly! Ashley had a great time and actually slept the whole 2hours up and back (which made it nice and quick)! It was a surprise trip but a muchly needed one and we all had an absolute blast!



1st meal at a restaurant in a booster seat! She looked way TOO BIG :( but did a great job!


Loved walking off our patio around the landscape!



Can't forget my purse! hahaha




Her finger goes in every hole while on our walks. My Grandma Richard says I did the exact same thing when I was little - it would take forever to walk a few houses! hahaha



Mommy and AshB right after breakfast!


Vacuum Queen, even on vacation!


Swinging at Sedona Park.

Shoe issue - Daddy to the rescue!


Walking around uptown Sedona! She loved the cooler weather and she loves to people watch!


She saw a puppy walking next to us and she lit up!
