Saturday Fun!

I'm so excited! Ashlyn and I get to see Daddy soon! He gets a 36 hour pass over the Labor Day weekend and we are going to spend it with him! Daddy hasn't been able to see Ashlyn walk yet. 12 days!!!!

She was helping us with the yard but moving all the little lava rocks around

She just wanted mommy's sunglasses.

Some of Enoch's training in BCT

Can you find Enoch in these??

Ashlyn turned 1!!!!!

My little girl is 1!!!!

Our morning ritual. Yesterday morning was her birthday walk :)

Her very first birthday cake with lots of extra icing for her to make a mess of.

She wasn't so sure about the cake at first.

Then she realized mommy wasn't going to stop her from making a mess.

She tried a little of the buttercream. Didn't like it to much.

Ooo there's cake in there!

Yes, mommy ate that piece of cake Ashlyn pulled off..She really didn't like it.

And she's spent...

Gift time was next. She was more interested in the tissue paper.

I want that swimsuit!

Happy Birthday my baby girl!!!!

Bathtime fun and chocolate ice cream

Car washing fun



There was a little puddle that she found as I was putting a letter in the mailbox. I turned around, and splish splash.

 Her onsie was soaked and her diaper was so gross.

 So it was time for a real bath!

Peek-a-boo!

She loves being just like mommy and loves to carry mom's purse. But I have to leave everything in it. If I take anything out, she'll drop it, sit down and pout.

 This is how much she loves chocolate ice cream. She kept going for my cone.

She looks just like her daddy!!

Ashlyn and mommy are having so much fun!

 Her first encounter with the ocean. She wasn't to sure what to think.

She wasn't to interested in looking at the camera.

She got more used to it, the more she liked it.

Poor girl is the same color as the sand but she still had such a good time!!

She ate her first handful of sand that day. Didn't like it much.

Walking with grandpa. and YES she's walking!!!! All on her own. Has been 4 weeks!!

She loves watching the fans go around and around and around.

Dinner with grandma and grandpa! She loved the garlic bread.

She loved watching the people walk by.

3 little teethies on bottom!

Away they go...

Because of some Army security issues, I have to delete Enoch from our blog and deactivated his Facebook and take all his pix off mine :(:(

In Hawaii!!

Waiting in Seattle for our Hawaii-bound plane! She did pretty good flying. Exhausting as she was, it was fun.

Auntie helping with 'Ba' and 'Dot'

She was pretty happy the entire flight. It was 5 hours long and she took 2 1hr naps so it wasn't so bad.

First trip to the beach! We went to Kahaluu. Magic was too crowded.  She got her first taste of ocean water and did NOT like it at all.

She was clinging to my fingers as tight as she could. She couldn't figure out what this stuff was under her feet but it was so amazing to just watch her take it all in.  It just made my heart overflow with joy.

She was getting a bit cranky because I wouldn't let her play on the lava.

When a good size swell would come and cover her halfway, she would squeal and kick her feet.

'Dude this is AWESOME!'
