Our cute little 6 year old

Ashley turned 6 today. It seems like it was just yesterday that Ashley joined our family. She has brought such great joy to our family. She is always on the go and ready to take on anything.

After school Ashley picked two friends to go celebrate her birthday with her. We first started with lunch at a Chinese Buffet. I don't know why but Ashley was insistent on a Chinese Buffet it was quite cute. Next Ashley wanted to go to the Glow in the Dark miniature golf place but when we got there we found it wasn't open till three. I gave Ashley a few more options but with them all she still wanted to golf. We finally decided to go play at the park till it opened.


The girls played so nicely together and weren't ready to leave when I told them it was time.
None of the girls had played miniature golf before so I thought it might be best to let them just play and have fun. No score keeping.
They had a great time. I think it was the quickest game that I have ever played. The girls caught on quickly and just flew through all the holes. Ashley had a lot of fun with Mckinlie and Elahn. It was sad that it all had to come to an end but it did.

Tonight Allison had soccer practice and I had a church thing so we had a quick dinner of some of Ashley's favorite foods. Kraft macaroni and cheese and a hot dog. Silly girl. She opened her presents and was very excited to get Smurfs Dance party for the WII
and then a stuffed dolphin just to name a couple.

After Allison and I were done then it was time for the cake. Ashley had her mind set on a Costco cake. Those things are way to big for a family of five so I had to find a way to talk her out of it. I thought I would try something new so I offered to take her to pick out the cake and that persuaded her. She thought it might be fun to try something new so she picked an ice cream cake. I took her to DQ and let her pick it out. It was hard but she finally decided on one. She was very excited to show everyone and give it a try.
Ashley had a great day. She enjoyed having all our family give her a call and wish her a Happy Birthday. She loved spending the afternoon with two of her friends. Who could ask for a better day?

Ashley we all love you and are glad you are a part of family. Happy Birthday!!!!
