Celebrate Ashley

Milestone Memories
Happy Birthday To My Niece, Ashley
August 24, 1990, The world became a better place!
Here are some fun photos with some equally fun memories
attached.
Ashley's 2nd Birthday in 1992 was celebrated in Atlanta,
much like Andrew, with a 3rd of July Birthday,
who has celebrated more Birthdays
away from home than at home. With a summer Birthday,
Curt celebrated several Birthdays away from home, also.
Ashley was happy on Aunt Jenni's lap with all the family singing
to her. (Nice hair bow, Jenni)
This was Ashley and Kristina wearing Grandma's beads. Note the
Make-Up and Nail polish. This was, I believe, compliments of
Aunt Jenni. Joel's Baby Food is on the counter in the background.
This was November 1991 at home in New Jersey.
I had Ashley and Kristina at my house in Florida for a few
weeks while Monique was on Bed Rest before Joel was born.
I flew to New Jersey with both of the girls after Joel and Monique
were home from the hospital. This was Ashley's first day home.
She was 14 months old and adjusting to so many changes, including
a new baby at home. I have always treasured the time I got to have
Ashley and Kristina stay with us while they were little girls.
November 1992...Thanksgiving in Atlanta
All the nieces and nephews saying one last good-bye to
Aunt Jenni before she left for her Missionary Service to
Poland.
Summer of 2002...What a Fun Summer
So Much was packed into one trip.
Above, Ashley is sitting outside The Mayan Restaurant in
Salt Lake City after we had just celebrated Andrew's Birthday.
July 4, 2002 Stadium of Fire at BYU Football Stadium
This is Ashley and Jeffrey prior to the show.
The guests thatyear were Toby Keith
(singing his dirty word along with every other person in BYU Cougar Stadium)
and Larry King.....nothing like this year's line up..
Miley Cirus, Blue Man Group, and Glenn Beck!!!!
Uhm... I would have gone for Glenn and my favorite Blue Men!
Miley would have been good, too, I am sure.
Summer of 2003 New Jersey
Ashley makes the best bracelets and hair braids!
She is making one of her famous bracelets here.
Summer of 2005.
Ashley....the photo below will make you thankful for
the photo above!
The photo below is from the summer of 2002
in Salt Lake City. Ashley was sitting out by the pool at
The Residence Inn in Salt Lake City...better than her
Dad, Brother, and Cousin, Andrew who roamed the
public streets of Salt Lake with grins just like this....
no, I am not kidding.... all over Salt Lake City like this....
(Not Ashley, just the Wild Boys)

Summer of 2005 New Jersey
