Happy 5th Birthday Ashlyn Ryann

Couldn't wait to spend the day with this sweet birthday girl!!

We had a busy day planned.

 We met the rest of my family in Tuscola at the Outlet mall for some school shopping and most importantly Ashlyn was getting her ears pierced.  She had been talking about it for a while that she wanted to get her ears pierced like her friend Sydney.  I was really worried that she might chicken out and then I became really nervous when we got there and their was only one person working.  Thought for sure we would walk out with one ear pierced:)

 See Aunt Taylor's face that is how I felt I was so nervous thinking she would FREAK OUT!! 

 NOPE!  didn't even flinch...she is such a BIG GIRL in so many ways:) 

 Way to go SIS!!!! 

 These two made our day of shopping fun filled!!  They are just hysterical.

Great Grandma Jane wanted to take the kids on the carousel

 Once we got home Paw Paw Bob & Emaw Kristi came over and had dinner and then she got to open presents.

 She got so new cute clothes for school

 She wants to be a baby Dr. when she grows up and LOVES Doc McStuffins

I think she makes one super cute Dr. :)

She was pretty excited to get her new purple bedding to go with her new purple bedroom.

Time to sing Happy Birthday!! 

She is just toooo cute!!

 We ended the birthday night with a fun game of fibber

Don't we look cute! 

We had the BEST DAY together & even though it makes mommy sad that you are already 5 I love to watch you grow and I'm so very proud of my beautiful baby girl. 

I will do a separate post of her 5th Birthday interview.

 

Sibling Love

These are the moments I cherish & that melt my heart!  SO SWEET!!!

Early Birthday Present Surprise!!

Ashlyn's Great Grandma Jane and Great Aunt Annie wanted to get Ashlyn a bike for her birthday & surprised her with it a few days early.  She was SOOO Excited!!!  How stinken cute is the hello kitty helmet.

She WAS so excited to get a BIG GIRL BIKE!!  She learned how to ride w/out training wheels back in April and immediately was ready for a bigger bike but we told her she had to wait til her birthday.

 Mommy was a little nervous about taking the training wheels off...thought she better ride it a little while and get used to it. 

 As you can see I didn't win!!!

No stopping her!!

Hard to believe my baby is turning 5!!!

Ashlyn really LOVED soccer this year...I see soccer fields in our future!

Soccer Game #1

Ashlyn & Sydney were pretty excited about their 1st soccer game. 

Look how cute they are:)

 Ok RED team what direction are we going?!?  Good Job Sis

 Go ASHLYN!!!  She went on to score the 1st goal!

 She was pretty aggressive and really went after the ball

 Cheering section-Paw Bob, Paw Paw Don, Emaw Kristi

 Emaw Phyllis was sitting under the shade it was pretty hot and the kids were running around like crazy.  They brought Ty, Mya, Maddie, Lainie & Aubrey with them and after the game we all went to Fairview Pool. 

 Ready set go!

 Good 1st game team!  Ashlyn did AWESOME and scored 4 1/2 goals (she had some help with the 5th one :)

4th of July

We headed up to Aunt Lori's house for the 4th.  The ladies all hung at the pool while the guys golfed. 

 Can he get any cuter

 Who can make the biggest splash

 had to take a little break for some fireworks

 Next year you can hang with the big kids Adler

 Then it was back in the pool

 Getting ready to head out to see the fireworks

 We went to Chenoa fireworks this year since it was on our way home.  They were really good but the kids were all exhausted & the mosquitos were terrible!
