Ashlyn's Birthday

Ashlyn turned one! I can't believe it! There happened to be a lot going on the weekend of her birthday! In fact, it was seriously one of those weekend I like to call the perfect storm of there being SO MUCH going on. My mom, dad, sisters and cousin were in town for a clogging competition, Collin's mom was also here visiting, I had to judge at a piano event all afternoon Saturday, Collin had district wrestling all day Friday and Saturday, we had all the Ashlyn-Birthday festivities going on, and I had to do the musical number at church on Sunday! To name a few!

But Friday was the day I wanted to have some fun with Ashlyn, on her actual birthday! Here she is in her pretty little birthday girl outfit for the day:

We went to the ZOO! It was so perfect. The weather was so nice, and it wasn't crowded at all. The only bad thing was that it wasn't cheap admission day! But anyway, Ashlyn had a great time. She loved looking at the animals and had so much fun. She crashed on the way home and slept for like an hour in her carseat. My mom, Jodee, Andrea, and McKae all came with us and we had fun!

She especially loved the petting farm where the goats were like, right in her face! Those goats are so weird looking, by the way. I hadn't looked at them closely before. They are weird! Ashlyn thought it was just great. She was a little unsure at first though! (see above!)

Grandma had the great idea to try to get her to sit on a little tiger for a picture. ha ha.

One of the best things of all about the weekend (besides all the birthday stuff) was that Collin's team won districts! ...by almost 200 points! Can you believe that! This was their third year in a row winning. Ashlyn, Nana and I all went and watched the finals, it was so exciting! We love our Patriot Wrestlers! (especially the coach!)
