Okay, Okay

Okay already...after I have had so many people tell me that I never put pictures of myself on the blog...here are a few. Terrible pictures...and I really did do my hair, but the howling wind we had today just didn't do anything for me.
Anyway, my new haircut and color...
Hope this makes Mom, Melissa, and Monica all happy...and all the others that have been asking!!!

It's your birthday!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE DELANEY!

One Year Ago!!!

It is amazing to think that one year ago tomorrow (March 30th) was the day that we had friends and family join us at the courthouse for the finalization of Ada Grace's adoption!!! It is so hard to believe...where does time go? All that I know is that we have so many things to be thankful for, and only God to thank.

Of course there were so many of you that prayed and prayed for us while we were going through the adoption process and the miscarriages. We do hope that soon we will be able to once again invite you all to join us at the courthouse in Deadwood for Ethan.

"It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: To shew forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night," Psalm 92: 1-2

Snow~

The hills always get a good snow storm in the Spring when the weather men are not forcasting...last night was our surprize snow!

The best part about it though...it will all be gone before we go to bed tomorrow! (it is mostly gone already!)

Nice Trick!!!

This is a picture of Ada Grace while she is doing her "trick."
Ethan decided to copy sissy and now he does "tricks" as well!

Here they are about to bonk heads while trying to get into their "trick" position!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIDDOS!

Pictures later...

I just needed to share with everyone, today I am the Mommy to an 18 month old princess and a 15 month old handsome little man!!! It is crazy to think that Ada Grace is already a year and a half, where does time go.

Anyway, once they are up and going there will be pictures for you later!

So friends and family...

If you would all send my your birthdays and anniversaries via email or leaving me a comment on the blog I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks, Ashley

I didn't get a picture 8-(

I need to start remembering to have my camera with me and on when I go in to get the kids first thing in the morning. Some of the cutest and funniest things are happeneing when they are playing in there!

This morning I walked in on Ethan, who didn't hear me, to find him sitting bent over in half trying to suck his toes! He is would his head just a little, wiggle his toes, giggle, then go back to sucking them. My thought was, "is your thumb broken?"

Anyway, when he finally realized I was standing there I looked at me, smiled, and said "Dadd da"

Silly boy!

Ada Grace

Just a few random pictures of Ada Grace
She hangs out in the Kitchen area while I cook now, really interested in what I am doing...or maybe just because she is waiting to get a snitch of what I am making!

It's your birthday!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY COUSIN SETH!!!!

The Gulf and more

Ada Grace was able to dip her feet in the ocean when she was only 2 days old. We enjoyed this time with Daddy and Grandma before they left on September 29th 2006.


This was taken at the apartment while Ada Grace and I had our week alone to bond before we could come home! This is a shirt Grandma Pam had gotten from Puerto Vallarta before she even had Grandbabies!
Here she is wearing a dress that was mine when I was a baby. It was very nice in Texas while we were there plus 100% humidity. Ada Grace and Mommy were able to fly home on October 6th 2006. She had a wonderful welcome waiting for her when she landed in South Dakota!!!

Lost pictures...

Well not really, I found our old camera and there was still a roll of film in it! It has pictures from Texas when Ada Grace was born!

I cannot believe that we waited 18 months to develope them!
