I can not believe it has been 7 years since God has blessed us with such a precious gift. In the past 7 years God has truely blessed our family. We have two wonderful children that I treasure and thank God for every day. I can not wait to see what God has in store for our family.
All Ashlyn wanted from us for her Birthday was a puppy. I spent days and days trying to find the right puppy. I went to the Humane Society the week of her birthday for one last ditch effort and they had a new litter of VERY cute puppies. When I arrived home I let Ashlyn open her present and here are the pictures. Notice her eyes tearing up, it was priceless!
Now for the puppy drama. When I got the puppy, the Humane Society said she was born December 29th which would make him 5 1/2 weeks, which was very young but I figured he would survive better in our house than sitting in the Humane Society. She was without his mom either way. Long story short she became very ill and we took her to the vet who believes as of Feb. 19th she was 4 1/2 weeks old. Which would have made her 2 1/2 weeks old when we got her. I must say as of today she is doing much better and I believe she has a fighting chance. All 1.7 pounds.This year Ashlyn wanted her birthday party at the skating rink. She had so much fun here are a few pictures.
Cha Cha Slide Time
Even Aunt Lea and Rebecca Got into it :)
One memory growing up and going to Birthday parties at the skating rink was the birthday licks. Here are the pictures of Ashlyn's 7 birthday licks plus one to grow on and a mama lick. Back in the day I do believe that the spanking device was a little harder and wrapped many times with duck tape. 
Clayton Side Note
I had to snap this picture the other day. Richard was in our bathroom fixing our toilet with all of his tools around him. I could not find Clayton. When I checked his bathroom this is the scene I saw. Notice his box of tools.
