March 2009

Ashlynn had the oldest horse in the group, but she was very sweet and Ashlynn enjoyed being able to ride by herself.

The kids found the ranch dog and loved tickling him.

Grandma Jacque and Papa came down to visit and took Ashlynn horseback riding for her birthday. It was alot of fun and everyone really enjoyed it. Aunt Audrey Slye joined us and we all felt a little sore the next day.

February 2009

This is Audrey and I with our cousin Jason when his show he was touring with came to Arnold Hall in Colorado Springs. It was a lot of fun to catch up and see a great show!

Grandma Tricia and Addison at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in CO Springs when we were up visting the beginning of the month.

Addison was a little skeptical about feeding the giraffes, but Ashlynn was convincing. This is Ashlynn and Will's favorite part of the zoo. You get to feed them special giraffe crackers and the giraffes come right up to you and their huge black tongue takes the cracker from your hand. Its a great zoo with amazing exhibits. Its one of the things we miss most about CO besides our family.

Can you believe its 2009 has come and is going through its motions so fast? Ashlynn turned 6 on Feb 28and was so excited to get birthday money. She saved up her money and bought a pink DS. She also sent out thank you letters to show off her new reading and writing skills.

catching up

These are some pics from this past January. I havent been on the computer as much, but am trying to keep up with this and just adding to my to do list every couple days between dirty diaprs, school, the crazy dog, gymnastics and spring gardening fever. Love you all!! By the way, the pic is of my new hair. Liked it, but its too hard to maintain, so I colored it to a dark brown. I think I am backwards, I am supposed to be lighter in the summer...o well.
