Happy Birthday Ashes!

Love, Love, Love how excited kids get for their birthdays!!!  It's a good thing, too, because it helps take my mind off the fact that my kids are growing up- especially when it's my baby!

Ashlyn had a great birthday.  Her request for breakfast in bed was a donut and chocolate milk (easy enough!)  Look at that smile….

After breakfast she decided to use the new gardening apron and tools that she got from Grandpa and Grandma Sillito to help dad plant the garden.  She did a great job planting the squash!

 Later in the afternoon Baylen and I took Ashlyn to the store to let her choose a new bike (last year's bike got run over by a car- common occurrence in our cul-de-sac).  Then we came home and she rode her bike while I got everything ready for her party.

Originally we were going to have a friend party for her this year.  However, she decided that her cousins are her best friends and wanted to party with them.  We went to Trafalga (yay for Pass of all Passes!).  

Ashlyn had lots of fun going on rides, playing miniature golf, playing laser tag, and riding the cars

But, I think her favorite was the rock wall.  She is one brave girl!!!

 Here's most of our group waiting for the next game of laser tag

 Ashlyn requested mini chocolate peanut butter cupcakes

                                      

This is what we found when we got out to our van after the party.  Seth and Leslie were responsible for this work of art and Ashlyn LOVED it!!!

We sure love our little sunshine.  She has the cutest personality.  I'm so grateful she's mine :)
