Our Happy Baby!

I love these pictures! She is now big enough

to hold herself up in this bouncer.

She loves it, can't you tell!

Happy 4th Birthday!

Happy Birthday Ashlee! We want to wish you the best, most exciting year yet. You are such a smart and beautiful girl. You have a wonderful heart and your dad's sense of humor.

You are a wonderful daughter and a perfect big sister.

We love you so so much. xoxox

Snuggle bug.

We don't let the girls in our bed hardly ever so when we do...

I have to take a picture.

Danielle's first hearty laugh.

What can I say!?! Ashlee is the only one who can get Danielle to laugh the hardest. This has got to be the best sound in the world! We have been so lucky to have such happy babies. Sorry it's so dark. I'm not sure how to fix that, enjoy anyway.

Ashlee's first day of School.

No one told me this day would be so hard! Ashlee is only in preschool and I still couldn't hold it together! We got up early, I fixed pancakes since that is her favorite. Did her hair, got her backpack on and gave kisses and hugs to Dad and Danielle, then off to school we went. We were both doing great; Very excited. Well... we got to her classroom door and I had her stand by this wall (see photo) to take her picture. After I took it I noticed Ashlee wiping her eyes. "Ashlee, are you crying? It's okay to cry honey." She just wiped her tears away and said "I'm okay", gave me a kiss and a hug and walked in, got her name tag and that was it. I stood there for a moment to see how she would do and she was totally fine. So off I went. Made it down the hall, out of the school and to my vehicle. There I stood. Tears in my eyes, way emotional! I lost it. I had to call Aaron! My little girl is growing up too fast. I am so sad to see time go by so fast, and yet, look how cute she is! I am so proud of her. She's our big girl!

Happy Birthday Ashlee.

Today is Ashlee's 4th birthday. I can not believe how big she is now. She started preschool, visited the dentist, got a hair cut, and is now officially a big girl.

Cousins

While we were in Utah, Ashlee was able to see her cousins. I love this picture. It was so much fun to see my dad, brother and his family. Ashlee had a ball playing with the girls. She will be talking about it for a while.
