O Christmas Tree!

I put up my Christmas tree. It was so much fun. This was the first year that Ashley Ryan has gotten into it and wanted to help me decorate. She did a really good job. I was so excited. Something I never thought would happen. I am decorating a christmas tree with my daughter. I love it.

I always loved putting up the christmas tree. I had parents who let me do it every year and I loved it. Christmas is my favorite holiday. I am so thankful for my little family. I am also thankful for my mom and dad who taught me to love christmas! Love you.

Vacation 2010

We went to Gatlinburg again this year. This is Ashley Ryan's 3rd trip and me and David's 1000th trip! To say we love it is an understatement. We had a great time. We shopped, went to Dollywood, ate to much and even went to a football game. We also ran into Santa Claus!!! He was great! He wrote Ashley Ryan's name in the "nice" book and even gave her a christmas ornament with her name on it. She is still talking about Santa. This is a picture of my cheerleader at the game. TN was playing Ole Miss. Of course we had to go! It was fun. The stadium up there is huge.
We met up with my cousin, Calvin and his wife, Camille. We love them!

This is Ashley Ryan at Dollywood driving her first car. David said she is an awful driver. haha




Shopping in downtown Gatlinburg. She loved all of the fountains and Christmas trees they had up.



This is the view from the sky lift. It is beautiful!




Mommy and Ashley Ryan!




Yes, this is a fake Santa. She did not care. We HAD to take a picture with him.



Aren't they cute. They take the sweetest pictures.


This is our cabin. I should of taken more pictures of it. It was beautiful. We have stayed here before and it is my favorite. The inside is great. It is actually a two story cabin. There are two balconies on the back and a hot tub. The inside is typical cabin decor. Very pretty.



We are already looking forward to next year. I can't wait.
See below for Ashley Ryan's 3rd brithday party pics!!








Ashley Ryan is 3!!!

Ashley Ryan is 3 years old! I can't believe it. Where did the time go? She is such a blast to be around. She is so funny. She is smart as can be. She loves baby dolls and playing with her mommy! Mommy loves playing with her too. We had her party at Kidz Rock. I have posted some pics for you to see.
Opening presents. She was soooo excited. I really can't wait till Christmas now.


Eating her yummy cupcake!

She loved everyone singing happy birthday to her. It was soooo cute.


Yummy cupcakes from Gigis Cupcakes.


It has flown by! Who knew 3 years could go so fast. I love my little girl more than she could ever know. I am so excited to watch her grow up.
I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. I know I have a lot to be thankful for!

October has been BUSY!!

Ashley Ryan was a tiger for Halloween! This is her and my niece Scarlett. They are so cute. They went to my church for trunk or treat. It was a success. This is the best picture I got of her all night. She would not sit still for 2 seconds for me to get her picture. We have had 3 birthday parties this past month!! Who knew at this age they would be so social?? haha. The picture below is Ashley Ryan and her BFF at daycare. Her name is Sanders. They are two peas in a pod at school. They are so cute. Sanders is such a sweet little girl.

The ladies auxiliary for the BPD had a carwash to raise money. Of course we could not do this without Ashley Ryan. She came and helped us wash cars. She was so sweet she even washed people's cars that weren't really there for the car wash!

The biggest deal is her FIRST haircut. We went to Tranquility Day Spa. She got her haircut and even her first pedicure!! So much fun.



She was so excited!


I love my little girl. She is such a blessing to me and my family!
We leave for vacation next week. I am super excited. I will post lots of pics when we get back! Lots of love.
