Ashton's Birthday


Every year seems to go by faster and faster. Ashton turned 11 years old September 25th!! She changes constantly before my eyes. She loves to talk and be with friends. This year has brought many changes to her life, but she has amazed me at her ability to adapt to her new surroundings. She is a great big sister and an awesome daughter!!




No, it's not Lance and Chaim's Birthday, but it sure was funny watching them get up on their chairs with their peanuts and sing to them anyway. We had a quick trip up to Sherman to have dinner with a few friends and we all had a great time catching up. I was so excited to see Carla on her "new" bike. Needless to say I was very jealous -- even though I have no idea how to drive a motorcycle, much less hold it up by myself. But the thought of having my own is very cool!!


It's crazy the things we do for our children!! I spent last Saturday night with a very large crowd of young screaming girls to see Jump 5 in their farewell concert in Arlington. Ashton and Alyssa have been very big fans and they had a blast!! Ashton and her friend Emily have been friends since birth. They go to my parents' church and whenever we are in town, they love to get together. They sat together at the concert!!


Alyssa and Hannah have become good friends, also. Her big sister is friends with my brother Matt. They loved to see who could scream the loudest!! Wow, that little girl is loud!
Of course, after the concert was over, we stood in line for autographs!! The girls loved this new group called "Pure NRG." They are not much older than Ashton, and they thought that was so cool!! What can I say, I love to see the girls smile and they had a great night!!!
