Happy Birthday Ashley

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY "BABY" ASHLEY.

My little girl is now 6 years old. Well...not quite....She was born at 10:59pm. Looking back it has all went by way too fast. Before she was born I told Chad that I knew that she was going to be a lot like him(all or nothing). Little did I know at the time how much that statement would become reality. With every year that has passed she has proven to be the spitting image of her Dad. From the way she looks from head to toe to her challenging yet loving and caring personality. She is a girl who knows what she likes and is not afraid to voice it! With all the love and challenges she has thrown at us so far and the ones yet to come I say...bring it on! I am blessed to have her as a daughter and thank God everyday for bringing her into our lives. Happy Birthday Ashley...I love you!

Ashley had a great birthday! I took treats up to school for her class to enjoy. For her birthday dinner she wanted"Chicken Fettuchini Alfredo". While Chad and Nicole were at soccer practice her and I played with her new cash register and Nintendo DS. Thanks to all who called tonight.....She loved answering the phone knowing it was for her. Sunday she is having a "kid party" at a movie theater.

Soccer Season begins

With the start of school also comes the start of soccer for both girls. Chad and I love it as much as our girls. Getting up early every Saturday morning does get a little tiring but once we are on the field the early morning is soon forgotten.

Ashley's team won their game...shhhh....we are not supposed to keep score at that age but the girls always do. Ashley scored a goal and was very excited to call Papa Miller and tell him that he owed her one dollar.

Nicole's travel team won their first game of the season (2-1) and could not have been more excited! Nicole had a penalty kick and scored. She kicked the ball hard into the upper left corner of the net. Needless to say that was a "proud parent" moment. Her entire team played well which was very exciting to see.

Chad is coaching both girls team's this year.

First Day of School

The first day of School was a success! Both girls came home telling lots of stories. Nicole loved everything about 4th grade, especially the fact that she is now at a new school...."Ryan Intermediate". Just wait until the homework starts.....she may change her mind about this new adventure.

Ashley started 1st grade. She seems to be having fun but does not like the fact that she has to sit in between two boys. Today she brought home a "scholastic book" order and wants to buy about 15 different books. We may have to narrow it down a bit.

All in all they seem to be adjusting well. If you call adjusting being so tired that you cry yourself to sleep as Ashley did tonight.

No More Facebook

For all of you out there who thought I had finally caught up with the rest of the world and joined facebook, only to realize that I never kept up with it......Welcome to my blog.

I am hoping to place an entry with pictures(yes, I said pictures)weekly. For those of you who know me, it will more than likely be monthly. Who knows, I may surprise a few of you.

For family and friends who live far but near to my heart......I hope this is a way for me to share some of our lives with you on a regular basis.

Check back often. I hope to have some pics up later this week.
