Ashley turns the big 3-0!!!

So, I thought when I turned 30 the world was going to come to an end. This is what I thought when I was 20! Turning 30 has been great. I am exactly where I never expected my life to be! I wouldn't change anything. I have a wonderful husband, healthy children, a great family and the best friends a girl could ask for. I have truly been blessed.

Thanks to my brother Eric, Jared and I had the opportunity to head to the island of Kauai and spend a week there! We had a blast. I always treasure the time I get to have alone with Jared, sans kids. We are fortunate to have family that helps out with the kids so Jared and I can have time to ourselves. This trip was a bonus as I go to spend a week with my brother who lives in San Francisco.




Things I have learned over the years...
1. I love God.
2. Live each day as if it were your last.
3. Make time to build relationships old and new.
4. Embrace new opportunities.
5. Be honest with yourself, it helps you go further in life.
6. Don't compare yourself to others; Be the Best that YOU can be!
7. It has taken me 30 years to be ME and I happy with ME!
8. Don't sweat the small stuff.
9. I can keep going long after I think I can.
10.It's not what I have in my life, it is WHO I have in my life.

Every path I have been on over the past 30 years has been my journey of life. I can't wait to see where the paths lead me over the next 30 years!

More Activities

In the winter, he FINALLY got to play basketball!!! Bryce has been shooting hoops since he has been able to walk. He LOVED basketball and was quite the all-star. The shot on 8 foot baskets and he made almost all of his shots! He needs to work on dribbling, we will conquer that in the off season.





Bryce and Sadie have completed to sessions of swim lessons and really enjoy it. The both have progressed well.


Sadie continues to do ballet and tap and I have to say, she LOVES, LOVES, LOVES it! She is eagerly waiting for her first dance recital. I think Sadie has found her niche!

Activities Galore

So, I already feel like I am the Mom Taxi, getting the kids to and from school and to and from their activities.

Bryce has been dabbling in different sports and has thoroughly enjoyed all of them. In the fall he chose to do gymnastics. With his small frame, he was perfect for the sport. He loved the trampoline and bars (because he gets to fall in the pit). He progressed well and even made it 3/4 up the climbing rope!

My Apologies....

Well, the game of Life has taken me over! I cannot believe I haven't blogged since (GASP) our January trip to Disney! I will post the happenings over the past few months, but I apologize they will probably be out of order. Enough of the apology, I am going to get blogging!!!!
