Ashlyn Turns Six

Our Ashlyn is SIX!

Wow...I can hardly believe it has been six years since my little baby Ash was born!

She was such a CUTE baby...
She was NOT an EASY baby... she had reflux her whole first year of life and boy did that STINK... literally!
We used receiving blankets as burb rags!....and sometimes that didn't even do the job!

We celebrated her birthday at school on Thursday (her actually birthday) by bringing treats to her class. We had lollipop snacks...they were very good! Get the recipe here.


And we finished celebrating over the weekend.

with friends at Chuck E Cheese! UGH! I'm so glad that place is only a once in a while destination. It was PACKED...and we went at 3:30 in the afternoon... however, it was a Saturday, so we probably should have expected it.

Ashlyn had "begged" to go to Chuck E Cheese for her birthday... and she has been asking non-stop to go and see Dalton, Zach, Brandi and Shawn! So, we incorporated both into her birthday celebration. The Hobbs (Brandi was our daycare when we lived in Hutch) met us at Chuck E Cheese and we got to catch up with them. We also invited the Nikkel's to join us.

It was pretty fun...at least for the kids. They played LOTS of games.
Kyler had to "cheat" a little, but that was okay.
And we opened presents...
And, we saw Chucky!
Brooke REALLY liked Chucky...especially his big nose!

We ended the celebration with family on Sunday afternoon.

Ashlyn got lots of cool presents... mostly clothes, crafts and hair accessories, etc. I was VERY happy about that! THINGS SHE CAN USE AND CREATE!!!! Yeah!
She finished the afternoon off by blowing out her candle on her birthday cake!

What a great birthday weekend! Happy Birthday my Ashlyn!
