ASHLYN'S 1st BIRTHDAY

Tyler and I had been trying to plan the most perfect birthday party for our little girl ever since she was born ha! We finally decided to have Ashlyn's birthday party at our apartment complex's clubhouse, we had around 30 people come, it was so much fun. Tyler's parents and brother were able to come up from South Jordan. My sister was able to come up from Saratoga Springs, and my brother and his family from Heber City. We also invited my Uncle and his family and some friends. Tyler and I stayed up the whole night prior, baking Ashlyn's Baby Einstein Caterpillar Cake so they would be cooled and ready to ice the next day. We had so much fun decorating the cake and getting ready for her birthday. She was so cute, every time she opened a present she would oooohhh and aaaahhhh! She had the best reactions! I can't believe she is already one, time flies by it seems like just yesterday I found out I was prego!

ASHLYN'S 1 YEAR PICS

Sorry guys I know I haven't written in a long long time, I have been super busy with a 12 month old child. She is constantly in to everything, and she constantly is needing all of my attention. I can't wash a single dish without her pulling on my leg and screaming. I have determined what she is trying to say is..."mother get down here and play with me, or at least take me up there...I can't see what your seeing from way down here!" Ha, I am funny. Anyways, Ashlyn turned 1 on September 25 and that morning we decided to go get her pictures taken. She was in a good mood when we got there, but as soon as we got back there and she saw the lights and the camera she started to cry. She is such a sensitive soul! So needless to say we barely got any good pictures. We only got one of her smiling. So frustrating! It was just me and Ashlyn that morning, Tyler had a work meeting so I had to try to calm her down all by myself, poor me I know ha. Nevertheless, I do think we got a few good ones though.
