Kaden's Big Week !!

It's been a busy week at the Ashley house - especially for Kaden! He finally conquered his little snail rocking toy! He's very proud of that. He also learned how to throw a ball - his Daddy is very proud of that! I think he's planning on Kaden being an Auburn Tiger then a New England Patriot. And also a baseball player. And golfer. You know, the all area athlete! LOL Kaden also learned how to blow kisses - it is so sweet. And ... drumroll please ... he also started WALKING! He's taken a couple steps here and there but Saturday 08/23/08 he just started walking around. I cried of course! My baby is a big boy now! Then on Sunday, we joined our new church (Cornerstone Christian Church) and also had Kaden's baby dedication. We're running behind with it - he will be one next month - but better late than never. We as a family are very excited about what God is going to do in our lives - beyond what He has already done. We are believing for great and mighty things! Keep us in your prayers as we journey on. Here are a few pics from the big week ...

1st Day of School

Well, today was the first day back to school for the girls.

Grace started 4th grade and her teacher is Mrs. Back. She said it was a good day at the new school. Only one problem - Abby came in off the bus upset b/c Gracie didn't get on the bus at her school. Clint and I started making calls to the school and the bus shop and finally located her. Turns out the teacher wrote the bus # down wrong for the afternoon and she was put on the wrong bus and had to swap buses a couple of times before she finally got home! When she finally got home (about 30 minutes after Abby), she was really upset - she ran up the driveway and threw her arms around me and started crying! : ( It was so sad. Hopefully that won't happen again! LOL

Abby started 1st grade and her teacher is Mrs. Heath. She came in from the bus - the correct one - and said she had a great day at school! They are both growing up so fast. Kaden and I were a little lost today without them here - it was nice and quiet for a little while, though!

Haircuts!!

Today Kaden got his 1st haircut! : ( I'm kinda sad b/c now he looks like a little boy and not a baby! I wanted to wait 'til his 1st bday next month but it was getting really long. He did a good job being still and it looks so cute!

We also took the girls for the back to school haircuts and they both look beautiful of course. Darlene @ Bodacious did a great job -she always does. We love her!

Here are a few pics of the big day!

Ashley Beauty Salon

The girls and I had an impromptu beauty salon night Saturday with some hot rollers we got. The girls were thrilled at the thought of getting all fixed up (for bed, nonetheless!) and modeling their new looks.

Grace, before and after

Abby, before and after

Kaden and Clint passed on the makeovers though ... LOL

But we had lots of fun anyway!
