The favorite duck!

I don't know what it is about this duck but both the girls love eating it's head. After I took the picture of Ashley I realized that I had a very similar one of Samantha! Well, I though that I would share them with you all.



The first one is Ashley... just in case you weren't sure. I'm not sure how old Samantha was when this was taken but it wasn't much older than Ashley.

We're alive!

Wow, I have been so bad about updating this thing! Lets see… where should I begin? I guess I should start with our Baby’s 1st birthday! Ashley turned ONE!! I can’t believe it’s been that long since she was born! She has grown and changed so much! She is so sweet but also so stubborn and independent! We love our little monkey girl SO much!!! We had two birthday parties for her but both were small. We had one at the fire station one the day the Chris worked. The whole crew (including Chris) ended up being really busy so we pretty much celebrated with the crew’s families. Then we had a family party at our house with Tia and Tucker. We were about to skype with my parents so that they could sing “Happy Birthday” with us and watch her destroy her cake. She has really started trying to use words and put words together, which has been so fun to see! She’s still pretty small for her age but runs around after Samantha like there is no difference. The girls are so close and are constantly looking out for one another. I love that they have such a close relationship, (for now at least…let’s hope they stay close once they become teenagers). Well, here are some pictures!

Oh and my plan is to update everyday if I can to catch you all up. Wish me luck!
