Ashley the little fish......

We are doing swimming lessons twice a week. These are not the toss the kid in the pool fully clothed and see what they do classes. These are the learn how to breath in water, swim to the wall and monkey with her arms to the stairs or the ladder.
They are teaching her to use her kickers, her arms, dive for rings and float

Happy 4th of July 2012

 Our day started with a yummy breakfast... Red White & Blue berry pancakes. Then we had a parade in the living room. Ashley got to wave her flag and danced.

We did some running around and then we picked up Dada and went to the Jupiter street festival. They had a ton of things to do for kids. Balloon animals, bounce house, bungee trampolines..... Next year we will have to let Ashley run wild. She was still a little to little.....

After the festival we walked to the Stadium where Ashley attended her first baseball game. We got the perfect set up to watch the game, eat dinner and watch the fireworks. It was a nice night with a little breeze. There was a nice couple with a little girl Ashley's age. They had fun playing with each other and sharing jewelry.

 

The Fireworks started right after the game ended. Ashley loved them. She was so intent on watching them and wanted more and more.........

My Kitchen

Ashley got the coolest kitchen for her birthday. It has amused her for hours. She cooks breakfast when Mommy cooks and she even likes putting the groceries away when we come home from shopping.

GaGa's Visit in May/June 2012

GaGa came to visit to celebrate the birthday girl and to be here for her birthday. We had a nice time. GaGa stayed a little extra to help us out with somethings. It was so nice to have her here. We love it when the Grandparents come to visit. It gives Mark a break from the monotony of the day to day and Mommy gets a break from some of the household responsibilities.  We did so many things.. We started the art class, went to Chuck E Cheese, went to the park, the pool, City Place, out to dinner, tea parties and GaGa took her out walking every day.  (GaGa and Grammy like to wear her out with her afternoon walks). Look forward to seeing you next visit in August.

Ashley's Real Birthday

On Ashley's REAL Birthday we took her to Chuck E Cheese. We even had Chuck E Cheese deliver a birthday cake to her. Not so much fun for her. She got a little scared and was not very happy seeing a 6ft Rat coming her way. But as for the day I think Dada had more fun playing the games. GaGa is what she calls my mom. Well, GaGa had fun playing too.....

Hurricane ASHLEY 2012

1st Named Storm of Hurricane season 2012..........

Ashley had a rough day and so did Mommy. DaDa took over around 1 PM so Mommy could take a nap before work. Well Ashley was a little fussy from a poor night of sleep (she was awake from 2-5 AM and then woke up at 8 AM). Daddy wanted to keep her busy so she would not wake me up so they played pull all you clothes out.... and then leave it for Mommy to see.

So I awoke to this sign on Ashley's bedroom door. When I went down stairs to see what happened I saw the cutest sight. Here are the
 photos.
