Four and a half

Ashley is officially four and a half and according to her she is never turning five. =) She has a little bit of a phobia about going to school. She loves that I teach her at home, she does great at MOPS, bible study and church, but don't mention the word school or she will have a MELT DOWN!! I guess I really need to start convincing her that school is a good thing.

Ashley is doing really well, she is super smart, becoming more and more independent everyday, a great big sister, a helper to Mom and a Daddy's Girl. Ashley is still in Gymnastics and is doing very well, as a matter of fact since i am so late at posting this, I can announce that hey plan on moving her up into a Girls novice group, woo-hoo! Ashley loves to sing, dance, play dress up with friends and has recently learned to swim with no floaties. =)

Ashley is a HUGE fan of Bethany Hamilton (the surfer girl who got her arm bit off by a shark), you will often find Ashley walking around and doing things with just one arm, and if you (or anyone) asks what happened to her arm, she will tell you "It got bit off by a shark while i was surfing in Hawaii". =) She has an imagination. She has also learned at a young age how to sweet talk her Grandpa, she has already started to make the plans for him to take her to Hawaii to learn to surf.

Can you believe how big she is getting in her "chair" picture? My baby! Well here are just a few more recent pictures of Ashley. Enjoy!
