soccer game

Ashley taking it down the field to score a goal.

It is so much fun to watch a 4 year
old play soccer. Ashley loves the sport
and is very serious about it .
They do not keep score in the 4yr
old division but Ashley does in her head.
She enjoys playing very much,
she even uses her dance skills to move the ball.
Go Ashley !

getting some pratice before the game


ashley and her team mates

the emmy's

i took this from our tv. i think everyone knows the humor behind this picture. the best part is the writers did not know ashley was adopted until that day.
it was ok with us for doing this .
She had fun!

The swing was so pretty and expensive.
The ad will come out in march of next year
and the stores too. She will be going back
up to north jersey on friday to do another ad .
They loved her. They loved the outfit i put on
her and the way i did her hair. It saved them time.
but she did get her make up done a in trailer in
the parking lot. I did take a picture with my cell.
i will try to take more on friday! it was fun!

the shoot emmy award

We are back from the shoot, it was a long day , but well worth it.
The shoot was actually for the Emmy Awards that airs Sept 21 on channel 7 abc.
The writers are making fun Angela Joile Lee and Brad Pitt for having so many children, they are 14 children in the picture each child also represent a writer for the cogan obrien show. rememebr conan o'brein is a late night alk show host who makes fun of everyone. just like jay leno.
They will air the photo an hour into the awards.
also each writer was assigned a child, if that
writer wins the childs picture will represent the writer .
All the parents thought it was great idea what a nice way
to pay the children back for their hard work.
We are going try to stop the awards show on line and copy the picture, the lady in charge is going to ask the photographer and ask her if we can have a copy of the picture after the show airs.
We met alot of nice people, and they fell in love with ashley they could not believe how well behaved she was and they will use her in the future again and put the word out in the building. They also did not realize ashley was adopted ,
so the staff talked to us about it. if we were ok with the
story line and the photo. not a problem with us.
Thats show business .
Alot of people asked us questions about adoption .
we were honest it and told them truth that is not easy with whole process.
Then one question led into another it ok with us.
we really had nice time with the staff and other parents.
Ashley had fun and We are so proud of her.

today but do to Tropical Storm Hanna it was canceled.
I really enjoy watching ashley play . She really loves
the game and is very good at it. After practice i had
few parents ask me if she been played last year i said
no this her first year. They were so amazed that she only

Dance really helps in sports. I guess i am going to be
