Ashley's 3rd Birthday with her Cinderella Barbie cake.  She was soo excited to have this cake.  When we went to pick it up from the store she gasped and said, "Oh - she's so beautiful!"

Princess Party complete with Cinderella.  It was Ashley's first friend party and it was so much fun to prepare for - so girly - I loved it and Ashley had a wonderful day.

Fall

Lynette's brother got married in the SLC Temple - the kids love their new Aunt Aubrey. Congratulations you guys! We love you!

Summer

Summer is great because of fun parades and family activities. We also had fun at the fish farm - where we all got to catch our own fish - even Ashley!

April, May and June 2011

Easter was great - the kids love dying eggs and then searching for them around the house. We can't believe that summer is almost here! (Someone needs to tell the weather though!) We also loved our annual family vacation to California with the beach and Disneyland. It is really a favorite of our family of 5.

January, February & March 2011

We decided to get out of the cold in January and headed to AZ to visit Alan's family. Since it was negative temperatures back home with snow all over - we headed to a train park in the sunny warm weather and spent a LOT of time outside.
Ashley and the boys also had a great time swimming in Grandma and Grandpa's pool. Happy Valentine's Day!
Each year the kids get little Valentines from Mom and Dad at breakfast filled with candy.
Then we get to eat heart shaped waffles. Yum.
Ashley is a Momma's girl - but she also LOVES her daddy!
The kids love helping Mom make dinner - especially when it is pizza!
Ashley likes watching to see when dinner is ready.
First haircut! Aunt Cassy did a great job and Ashley was a brave big girl. Jacob with his new fish - each of the kids got a betta fish.

December - Christmas

On November 30th - Ashley turned one! We celebrated with pink pinatas and she got presents and her own chocolate cake to smash....she thought it was so much fun!

One of our family traditions each year is to see the lights at Temple Square. The kids love it!
Alan and the boys decorating cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve.
Lynette and Ashley had fun tasting them!

New Family Pictures

Family pictures! This photo shoot was by far the most fun and stress free time we have ever had. The boys and Ash did great...even though it was a little chilly.
We loved how the pictures turned out.
