Silly Hair Day!

Our silly girl is ready for "silly hair day" at daycare!

2nd Birthday Party Fun!

Ashlyn enjoyed her Elmo-themed birthday party this past weekend! So much so that she wouldn't take a nap and miss any of the excitement and therefore by the end of the day we had a really tired birthday girl! Frosting is the best! Liking her new Elmo toys!!! A fav in our house :)

Striking a pose with her new baby and stroller...silly girl!

Ashlyn turns 2!

Our baby girl turned 2 this past week! Well I guess she isn't so much a baby anymore....

We can't believe how fast time flies and how much our little girl has changed and grown up over the last two years. She has definately developed her own personality and we find ourselves laughing a lot at all of the crazy little things she does!

She went to the doctor this week as well for her two year checkup and come to find out she has gained 10 pounds over the last year and grown 5 inches, which puts her at 32 lbs (90th percentile) and 35 inches (75th percentile)! The doctor said she is perfect and we'd have to agree. Well most of the time anyway (minus the temper tantrums!). Hello terrible twos :)

Outside Fun!

This summer we have spent many nights playing outside! Ashlyn absolutely loves it outdoors and is a very happy little girl when she gets to run outside and play on her swingset or with her toys. Swinging and swinging and swinging...she swings so long that she almost falls asleep in there!

Helping mow the lawn...

Sleepy time...

A typical conversation we have with Ashlyn on many nights at about 8pm goes like this: Mommy: "Ashlyn it's time for bed." Ashlyn: "No no no!" Mommy: "But Ashlyn you look tired don't you want to go to bed?" Ashlyn: "No."

Then on one particular night two minutes later she is lying on the floor with her blanket and baby sleeping like this! She sure is something... :)

Summer Time!

Playing in the sand up at Uncle Darrin and Aunt Stacy's cabin over July 4th! Ashlyn and cousin Mya waiting patiently for a pontoon ride (what cuties!)

Red, white, & blue day at daycare...

Typical Ashlyn face...decided she waited long enough for her boat ride and wanted to go now :)

Recent pics...

Ashlyn actually sat still long enough for me to put pig tails in her hair this morning! Normally she doesn't like me fussing with her hair at all so I had to take advantage of the opportunity. Then of course she enjoyed posing for a few pics afterwards :)
