Ashley the Photographer -- Self Portraits

Ashley is 5 Years Old!

Ashley's birthday was May 28th (I know, I'm a little behind). I can't believe she is 5 years old, now! She looks like she's 6 or 7, but she's still our "little" girl. She was excited to take cupcakes to school to share with her friends. Grandma Judy flew to Boise (on her way to Milwaukee) and we all went to PoJo's and dinner. PoJo's is one of those money-pits with lots of games where you win tickets and get to pick out useless prizes--a kid's dreamland. For dinner Ashley picked the restaurant "where they cook the food in front of you." We're lucky our daughter has good taste and didn't pick McDonald's or something!

Memorial Day 2009

Fun @ the Butler's house with the Butlers (duh), the Freemans, and the Burnetts. Yeah, the kids were there, but we have enough pictures of them! Ken and his girlfriend, Amber, were also in town that weekend and I think they had fun with us, too!

Last Day of School - Party in the Park!

Peyton's last day of school was June 4th - we celebrated with his friends by playing at Elm Grove Park and having a water fight (that's why the boys have their shirts off). Peyton missed out on the picture, but of course Ashley was there! She's a natural in front of the camera.

Girls' Weekend @ Redfish Lake

Although I miss my family when I'm gone, I sure love to get away and spend time with the girls! Thanks, Carrie, Teri, Jill, Amy, & Suzy for a wonderful weekend.

P.S. I hiked 8 1/2 miles in the grueling mountains and was pelted with hail and rain!

Ashley Graduates

Ashley graduated Preschool on Friday, June 5th. We are so proud of her! Ms. Francisca said Ashley was such a good helper in the Bees class and she will be missed by the younger kids. Some of her graduating classmates will join her at Summer Camp @ the YMCA and they are sure to have a blast. Ashley is ready for Kindergarten!
