Ashlyn's Birthday Party

We celebrated Ashlyn's 3rd Birthday a Few Months Early. We chose not to have to worry about planning for a party with a newborn in our house. Ashlyn wanted to have it at Jump Town. (A place we frequent for Fun Friday with Carey and Stefany) It was a great turn out. After the party we headed to Pappasito's. If you have any pictures from the party, please email me them. I was so busy...I didn't get to take as many as I would have liked. (And my camera was on the wrong setting, so those that I did take, didn't turn out all that Great!)

Here is a Link to Ashlyn's Birthday Party Pictures!!!

Last Trip to Grandma and Grandpa K's Farm Before Little Sister Arrives

Ashlyn had a great time hanging out with her Cousin Ryley and Brenlee. She loves to draw, play with stickers, take care of her babies, and play with playdough while she is there. But...her most favorite thing to do...is to play in Grandma's Sand Box. (A Plastic Storage Container filled with play sand, that has lots of "retired" dishes and spoons!)

Ashlyn Playing with Ryley

Ashlyn and Ryley played so well together. In another 6 months he might not be so inclined to do everything that she says...so them playing well together...may change. They had a great time going to the Children's Museum, Herman Park, and to Freebirds!

Grandma's Bikes

Grandma K bought Ashlyn and Ryley Bikes. The two of them were so excited to get on them. Fortunately they had a few hours of sunshine to ride before the rain began!

Jumpin Jaks for Fun Friday

Ashlyn and I got off to a slow start on Friday, but made it to Houston for Fun Friday. We went to Jumpin Jaks with Stefany, Carey, and Richard Glyn. Danna also popped in to visit while we were there. The girls had a great time. After about an hour we headed to Lunch. We chose the Potatoe Patch off of 1960. The car ride there was a little dramatic, however, once they started throwing the rolls to our table...the girls attitude changed dramatically. It was a really good time!

Ashlyn's Birthday Party

We are planning Ashlyn's Birthday Party a little early this year (March 24th). Since her birthday falls so close to her little sister's arrival, we decided to go ahead and celebrate now.

I am planning on having a "Meet My Sister" Party on June 23rd, so keep your calendars open! This Party will be for everyone, family, friends, etc. It will be an excuse to get together and show off our new addition. It will also be something for Ashlyn to take pride in, and be apart of, since I am letting her choose all the decorations and activities. We look forward to all of our family and friends being there!

Elmo in Beaumont

Johnathan won tickets at work for Elmo. Ashlyn and I went and had a great time. Her face lit up when they first came out. It was the entire sesame street cast that she got to see. We had great seats. 4th row on the floor with about 4 feet of dancing room in front of us.

Fun Friday at Old McDonald's Farm

Ashlyn and I drove out to Houston to meet Stefany and Carey at Old McDonald's Farm off of 1960. The girls had a great time. They were able to see and interact with all different types of animals: deer, ponies, peacocks, llamas, turkeys, goats, a cow, pigs, bunnies, a kangaroo, and an ostrich. The deer tried twice without success at taking the girls food. They are very sweet natured...but SNEAKY!
There was a little train that took the girls around the property, which they enjoyed. After the ride we took them to some of the play equipment they have there. The girls loved the ball pit!
When the girls were obviously becoming tired, we headed to Taco Cabana. Then we went to Stefany and Carey's new house. Carey was quite proud to show each room off. They have a beautiful home, in a great neighborhood. We still miss them!
