Happy Birthday Ashley!

When we were trying to figure out what to do for Ashley's birthday this year, the only request she had was that she could invite ALL of her friends. No big deal, right? This time of year with soccer and softball and nice weather, I had no idea whether 3 would come or 20... so after batting some ideas around, we finally decided to have the party at our house. We rented a moon bounce and prayed for nice weather since after about 20 RSVPS we knew having it inside would be extremely chaotic. Toward the beginning of the week, Saturday was looking grim... but by Friday it was looking beautiful. Thank goodness! Ashley has never had a better time. I've never seen her wearing a bigger smile or genuinely giggling as much... and for that all the stress for me was worth it. Needless to say, I was so busy with the party execution that capturing it with my camera suffered. I did manage to snag a few pictures. Hopefully you can see what a great time she had! Thank you to everyone who made it so special for her :)


Time to sing Happy Birthday!

Of course Jacob couldn't let Ashley have all the fun! While she was partying, he was scoping out the ladies at the party... and finally decided that Sydney was his girl. Check this out for all the juicy details:
