santa and ashley 2006



We went to the mall today and Ashley saw santa,
she ran right up to him and him for a jump rope, and a firefighter.
Ashley's daddy is a firefighter so that where she got that from. She hug and kissed him. And she told him he was her best friend. Santa got a big kick outof it. Santa asked me ii was sure she was 3 years old. Because she acts older than 3. I did not take her picture the mall is pricey and i wanted her to get use to him. next week at the fire house she will met santa again.

and mommy painted them. She also loved disney this year. We waited in line for
an hour to all the princess. It was fun for me and Ashley of course daddy was bored.

O Christmas Tree

Ashley helping her mommy and daddy with the tree. Of course mommy is taking the picture.

She is really into christmas this year. She wants everything she see on tv. Her list is way too long Santa needs to work alot overtime according to Ashley. It is so much fun having a three year old this time of the year.. It just brings me happiness and memories of my christmas holidays when i was child. We will see if she is afraid of santa this year. Ashley says Santa is her best friend . Which is true.

Thanksgiving 2007

Ashley enjoying her apple pie and strawberries!

I am so proud!

Two weeks ago my Goddaughter Molly got welcome into the church. It
was her Christening day. It was specail day for both of us. Molly's mommy(Jen)
and I have been friends since high school . We did not talk for awhile but
now it is great feeling to be best friends again. I am so proud to be her
Godmother and a great friend. This little one will not have any problems with her hair and nails
since her godmommy is a manicurist. She also received her fisrt piece of jewel from me .
A beauitful cross necklace. Do not worry little one you get the earing and braclet to match.
Since we are never going to adopt again or have another one .Molly is going to be daughter too. She will be very spoiled just like Ashley.

Also in last 8 weeks I also lost 12.4 pounds
doing weight watchers. It feels so good to go into a store and say thats too big
for me! It was so much fun to buy new clothes. I am so proud myself!

We are Thankful!

Bird is the Word

Here is nice story besides talking about ashley al the the time. This little fellow was just
hanging out on my mom's porch last sunday, while we were making cookies. I almost step
on the poor thing. For some reason birds love to come visit my mom. Two years ago a baby
Parakeet was in my mom's pool floating around. My brother saved her and now she named sunshine. Well, i guess i would have to believe my dad is around watching us. he loved birds.
Everyday he would whistle for them to come to eat. And they would. I do the samething now
every morning. Since he past away two years ago there has been weird things going on.
I guess he trying to tells us he is ok. It just hurts not seeing him. He never met Ashley .
he knew we were adopting and he help us. i know would have out there trick or treating with her .I guess this his way of telling me is around. I believe in my heart is around all the time .
the birds, flowers and ashley remind me of him everyday!

Dear Santa

Ashley was sick onmonday with a really high fever. So i had to keep her busy .
So she wanted to make a list for Santa Claus. Mommy cut the pictures and Ashley glued them on. She made every picture fit perfectly. I think she going to take after her mom with scrapbooking.
