HAPPY 7TH BIRTHDAY ASHLEY

March 11 2009
Ashley's BIG day.... i can't believe that my little girl is becoming such a little lady... i love this stage she loves to talk to ma about her day and everything that has gone on, she's my best friend and i love it!!!!!
We didn't do much for her big day since we are celebrating the kids Birthdays in Disneyland too.... so this was just something fun for there special day!!
I had gotten her favorite cereal for her birthday breakfast.. she thought that was pretty cool... then while at school i decorated the down stairs with balloons and set out all her presents, she was very excited when she got home!!!
Ashley posing by her presents wishing her daddy would come home soon so that she could open them... she was a good sport though and waited patiently until he got home.

these were her first bouquet of flowers.... these were sent from her Grammy.... the delivery man messed up so they were waiting here at home when she got here, they were supposed to deliver them when she was home so she could receive them.. oops

she got a really fun game from Grandma and Grandpa Call..... they had so much fun playing it and Zach even got into it. It was a really cute game and they love it!!!

Ashley was doing her winning dance.....

Ashley got to pick out what she wanted for Dinner and she chose: Shrimp pasta...salad... cheddar biscuits and chocolate milk (she loves to pick out dinner!!)

this is our little tea party.... Aunt Brenna gave Ashley a tea set along time ago and we finally pulled it out (okay the reason why it too 3 years was because it was porcelain and way cute.. i didn't want it to break now she's old enough she can enjoy it :)

Close up of my tea pot birthday cake.. it was so fun and so easy!!!! and it went along with our tea party :)

Ashley getting ready to blow out her 7 candles.... (did i mention i can't believe she's 7?

Way to go girl friend she did awesome it took a couple of try's but she did it..... hummmm what did she wish for? eating with the princess in Disneyland... i think :) (maybe that was my wish?)

This is my favorite they are "cheers" with there little tea cups filled with ice cream... too cute if you ask me!!!

Well Ashley i hope you had a great Birthday, and hope that all your dreams come true!!! you are really a special Little girl and i would keep you this way forever... (i told her i was going to put her in the freezer and freeze her so she wouldn't grow up any more.... she got kind of worried ... if only it was that easy!!!)

your are a great big sister and a huge help.. i love you and am so blessed you are my daughter.... you are my best friend and i hope that we will always be friends!!!!! you are the BEST and I LOVE YOU LOTS!!!!!

NEW YEARS EVE 2008-2009

New Years Eve 08/09

We were able to stay at Drew's cousins Rentia and Judy's home for new years eve..... Ashley had been talking alot about what is New years Eve? and What do you do? My response was you stay up late on the last day of the year until 12:00 (midnight) and then it's a new year... well what do you do? I couldn't think of much to say all i could think of was you bang pans together and dance... well she was determined along with Hailey that they were going to stay up late and celebrate with us.... Okay i didn't care of course i thought that would be passed out way before the new year so i didn't think it was that big of a deal.
Well Hailey and Ashley started a movie and we played games until about 10:30 when Ashley told us Hailey was conked out.... so we let Ashley play games with us,we put Hailey to bed and waited to see how much longer Ashley would make it.....
to my surprise she stayed us until 1:30 (i think) when we all decided it was time to go to bed.... Ashley had so much fun and thought she was something else getting to stay up with the "grown ups" and not have to go to bed.... it was a lot of fun, but most of all it was fun to see the excitement she had..... everyone else was too tired.



Renita helping Ashley get all dressed up to celebrate the NEW YEAR!!!

Ashley... she was blowing the whistle and jumping up and down, all we could do was laugh because we were so tired and she was so awake and excited!!

Renita and Judy.... having a good time while Ashley was the center of attention!!!

Ashley getting all her stuff together so we could start counting down.... 3-2-1

HAPPY NEW YEAR.... she was done blowing her whistle and jumping like a crazy woman she decided to bang on pans, with left over chop sticks from dinner.

we went outside to finish celebrating and watched the fireworks next door and around the Bountiful Temple.

We had so much fun, and we were really excited to spend time with Drew's cousins. Thanks to Renita and Judy for putting us up and having fun with us.... our girls still talk about how much fun they had!!!!! And I'm sure Ashley will never forget being a "grown up for a night"

Happy Birthday Grandma Elle

Sunday December 28th
Drew's mom celebrated her ** Birthday :)
I was able to make her a German Chocolate Cake (her favorite) and we were able to spend time with lots of family... it was really a nice day and i think she really enjoyed it!!!
Hailey and Grandma blowing out her candles surrounded by her Extended family

This was after we made her dinner for her birthday. We felt like we couldn't wait till evening when the rest of the family was coming to sing to her, so we put a candle into a raspberry filled donut (my fav) and sang her Happy Birthday!!!! it was pretty silly but we had fun.

This was just before we went to Church....

This was a family picture the morning of her Birthday before Kyle and Janelle headed back home to LV .... (L-R) Kyle and Janelle Call Bill and Ellen (Grandma and Grandpa) Brandy, Zach, Drew, Ashley and Hailey Johnson.

we hope that she had a great Birthday... i know it has been a while since she has had so much family with her to celebrate her special day... we all worked hard to make it special. I hope she knows how much we all love her and how much she means to us... she is a wonderful mom... Mother in law... Grandma and wife.... we are all very blessed to have her in our lives and we love her very much!!!!

GREAT memories with GREAT FRIENDS!!!!

These are the BOYS..... These are Drew's Best Friends!!!! Drew has grown up with these boys and have gone through alot with them and has grown very close to these men. Drew had gotten the boys together and was able to spend the day with them and go snowmobiling with them (all but Brandon who's wife was due ANY day)..... us wife's were able to meet up with them after there day of fun for dinner in IF.

it was so nice to have the gang back together again even if only for a couple hours. we had a ton of fun and most of all was nice to see all of them again after so many years.
