Ashlyn Ann turns 3!!!!

April 18...wow, I cannot believe that Ashlyn is 3!

We decided to have her birthday party at the aquarium this year, as it has turned into one of her favorite places to visit. It truly was a great idea. The kids LOVED it!


Eating pizza and waiting for cake. Ashlyn decided to invite her friends from ballet, a couple of girls from school, one from Sunday school, and her cousin Aidan. Kind of random, but it was her choice & it turned out to be a great group & they had a blast!
Kisses for daddy!

Make a wish sweet girl!


The kids LOVED the animal encounters. They were able to touch sea urchins, a horseshoe crab, turtles, snakes, an alligator, and check out an owl.

I NEVER knew the horseshoe crab was related to the spider!


I was SO surprised by the children's response to the snake! They all wanted to touch & feel. Notice that all of the adults are missing from this picture!

Look at Ash's smirk...she has NO FEAR!

The owl...we didn't get to touch him...he was blind & sensitive.


Alligator!!!


They couldn't keep there hands off of this little guy!


The Chadwicks!


The key to Ash's heart...princess stuff!


Thank you Aunt Sissy & I love you!

"Paint me like a mermaid, okay?"

Sitting so still & patiently...I had to have a picture! Ha Ha

BCF = Best Cousins Forever!

Aidan & Ashlyn


We saved a few gifts for Ashlyn to open on Monday, her actual birthday. It also turned out to be a great day! We went to get pedicures & manicures. She was adorable! Then we went to the toy store & played for a bit. When Rick came home from work, we opened presents & then went to dinner at Gringos. Ash wanted a "kay see dee za".


So excited about Cinderella...couldn't wait to put on her dress & be twins!


Thanks Aunt Tess!

The new car that Mommy & Daddy got...we couldn't get her to come inside!

When she finally did, it was only minutes until THEY were out!



Happy Birthday Beba! We love you & are so blessed to have you in our lives!
