Happy Birthday to my Baby Girl, Ashley!!

Happy Birthday, Baby-Girl!!!

This blonde-haired-blue-eyed beauty just turned 21 years old!!!

(These collages were a labor of love that I completed for each of our children several years ago. It was really difficult to find all of the right pictures but I am so glad I did!)
Ashley surprised me and came home late Thursday night to spend some Ashley-Mommy pre-birthday time together. We went to lunch on Friday and came home and she opened some gifts. Unfortunately, Wayne was in Florida for work and didn't make it home before she had to leave.

She got several "Twilight" gifts including the movie & an exclusive Amazon Twilight Music Box which both had to be preordered and won't be in until late next month.

I made a little Christmas album for each of the kids of our Christmas 2008 pictures. This is Ashley's album.

She may be 21 but she still LOVES Fun Dip! She was so excited!

She had a party at her house Saturday night which included her siblings and many friends. Without going into the details it wasn't the best night for her. So, after everyone left for home on Sunday (her birthday) she was sad. She called me and said in her sweet voice, "Mommy, would you please meet me at our half-way point so I can spend some time with you on my birthday?" Of course I couldn't say no. So, off we (Jasmine) went to Eatonton. This picture was of Ashley and Jasmine in the Wal-Mart parking lot!

Ashley is the baby of the family and does have some of the stereotypical traits of the baby, but she is an amazing young woman who is very driven to reach her goals.

We are so proud of you, Sweetheart! We all love and miss you very much!
