" TV and Film Star "

As you all know Ashley has been modeling for a year now. The business has it ups and downs, the up part is the Talent Agency XIST here in NJ, was very insterted in her. They called us in for an interview at their West Caldwell office. The women who runs the Agency is only in her 30's and she is also Adopted, but she is not Chinese.
She just fell in love with Ashley. She found Ashley by Website just for Agents that is password protected with membership required. Well to make a long story short Ashley now has real non-exclusive 1 year contract, with XIST. We have lots of paperwork to do, like filing for a permit to work in New York State. This is the real deal, you might just see her on Law and Order someday or in your next JC Penny catalog. The XIST primarily signs contracts for print, TV and Movie work.
Which is right up Ashley's alley. XIST could not believe she was only 3 1/2.
Ashley has a great personality for show business. We were honest with Maria from XIST, that this is not a career choice, but if something is offered we may sway that way. XIST was happy that we were honest and we seem to be very good parents for keeping a close eye on our daughter. We asked every question in the book, and the owner loved that. We are all very excited about what the future might bring for Ashley. Jason said he might need armed security for her when she is older. lol! Our little china doll is going be very good at show business . We are so proud of her.

8 years already, wow time flies !!

On Tuesday March 25, Jay and I will be married for 8 years.
We are actually going to AC by oursleves.
Thats right, no Ashley. My Mom is watching Ashley for us.

worried about her, but we are going to enjoy ourselves.

Ashley had a playdate today with her cousins
Kadin and Amber. We went to kid junction
Branchburg nj. http://www.kidjunction.com/
It is a great place for kids to be themselves.
They have stations where they can pretend to be
a chef, a vet, mailman, and even dress up.
The kids had a great time. It gives adults to
relax and talk. They have benches set up everywhere
so you can see your child . what a great idea !

She was so happy i decroated the house with Easter bunnies

She keeps singing spring and easter bunnies songs.
Every night we read a book about a famous bunny or
about the holiday. What a great kid! It is so nice
to have a child in the house during the holidays.
It just makes the holidays very pleasant.
Having Ashley just makes us smiling everyday of the
week. God blessed us with a great kid!

Ashley just her hair cut last monday.
we go every 6-8 weeks to trim her bangs.
Yes, mommy cuts hair for a living but
ashley loves going to Fran Kids in Fords

and curled.
She is a such a little girl.
She grew up too fast!
