Happy Birthday Ashton!

I can remember like it was yesterday... I just gave birth to our third child, a girl! What are we going to name her? We had a list of names, but hadn't settled on one before her birth. We had decided we first needed to look at her. I can still hear Dale saying, "She's an Ashton!" At the time I thought Ashton was a girl's name, apparently not. Oh well! It all worked out for the best since she's my tom-boy! (She makes her Nan Nan proud! She too was a tom-boy!) Along with being a tom-boy comes Ashton's love for reptiles and critters. When she came home from school last Friday and saw her snake cake, she was so tickled! She grinned from ear to ear as she said, "It's awesome!" I'm certainly not a cake decorator, but I made Ashton's eleventh birthday memorable non the less. I got out several bags of candy and had Ashton make the snake her own!

In case you haven't guessed, these are Ashton's favorite colors -- green and orange. Her birthday was Friday, October 12th.
