Ashley's 4th birthday

This year I decided to downsize Ashley's birthday and only invite 3 other kids and their Mom's. It worked really well and it was nice to chat with everyone and not feel totally crazy with chaos. We had the party at Boondocks and we had a blast! We had Ashley's family party at home like we always do. This year she chose a Disney Princess theme...big surprise!
The big hit this year was the kid size jeep Dave bought for Ashley. He always wanted one when he was little and now that our red jeep is gone he has a chance to at least make the kids happy:)

Grandma Gertrude's 98th birthday











We are so fortunate to have Deb's Grandmother living in SLC now. She lives at Atria in Sandy. By coincidence two of my old AXO girlfriends also have family at Atria Sandy AND Dave's Grandpa Bill moved there as well. It is a wonderful facility that gives elderly people the option to live in an assisted living situation or have their own apartment with different levels of help. I highly recommend this place if anybody is ever in need to find new housing for a loved one! Anyway we celebrated Grandma's 98th birthday this year, so exciting. We had a lovely dinner at my Mom's house and my Uncle Scott ( Grandma's son) and his wife Lucy came out from New Jersey to celebrate with us. The only people we really missed were Craig and Ian who are too far away in London:(

Ashley starts preschool!




Ashley is starting preschool this year. She will be going to the Newcastle School in Draper on Tuesday and Thursday 8:30-11:30am. Her teacher is named Miss Debi and she has a daughter named Ashlee....what a coincidence!
