A Party to CHEER About!!!

Ashley celebrated her 11th Birthday with a fun party at Cheer Texas. I have to say it was one of the most fun parties that she I had in my opinion. I think all the kids had a great time, and best of all I got to pretty much sit back and watch. Really a no stress kinda party. I love those kinds. I didn't have to worry about where anyone was or if they were having fun this year. We had simple chocolate and vanilla cupcakes, (no cutting or forks required!) cokes and an overall great day.

You go Kelley. She is getting her jump on!

The foam pit was a favorite by all.

Cutter looks like he is doing the backstroke!

Cambry on the giant bouncer.

Charlie had a great time here. He just ran and ran the whole time.

Ashley's favorite colors. I even found little "glitter" that spelled Ashley too.

Happy Birthday Ashley

Glad you enjoyed your special day.

Ok...I'll just get this out there...Birthdays are very bitter sweet for me. I love watching my kids celebrate their special day, but I tear up EVERY SINGLE YEAR!!! I don't break down and need Kleenex by any means, but the lump in the throat and the tears fill the eyes. It sounds silly, but I don't know why they have to grow up so fast?

I remember January 2, 1999...waking up with a terrible pain in my back. I never would have thought that I'd be in labor since I wasn't due for 3 more weeks. BUT...at 4:15pm my life would change forever.. and for the better!! I first got to hold this little bundle of joy about 3 hours after she was born due to some breathing struggles. When that nurse put her in my arms, the feeling that came over me was unlike anything I could have ever imagined. I was in LOVE. The soft pink skin and that button nose, the long fingers and that smell. My life was complete. Looking back on that day, I will remember it always with fond memories of what an awesome gift I received on that day. Happy Birthday Ashley!!! I Love you sooooooo much more that you will ever know! You will always be my baby girl no matter how big you get!
