where did my lil girl go...

Well Ashlee is now 17...I have been saying this a lot lately, so here goes again, where does the time go? Ashlee was lucky to have her birthday while Craig was out of town because she got to drive to school on her special day. Some of her good friends left sweet messages for her on the car...

The beauty about this was I got the car the next day so I drove around and was 17 for the day! Oh to be 17 again..

It's hard to have your birthday during the week because we don't have time to do the birthday dinner, cake, family and so on. So that night Ashlee went out with her friends and then we had a family party on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was with my mom, Jamie and his family. Sunday was with my dad, Jamie and his family.

It's cake time..she doesn't look so happy...I wanted to sing "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to" but I didn't. I'll put it this way, she was not to happy with us because we made her come home from friends house to have cake. We did invite her friends but she chose not too. Beautiful memories of teenagers.

I do hope she had a great birthday. I am glad she chose to come to our family! I would be lost without her. Happy Birthday baby girl! You are a beautiful young woman inside and out!

On another note my niece, Margo, has been extremely afraid of dogs. Every time she comes to our house one of her parents has to carry her into our house. Well I think I have finally broke her of being afraid of dogs....her is proof...

The next day that Jamie and Carolina came over they told me Margo said, "you don't need to carry me in the house, I can walk." Progress! Got to Love it!

Margo would not let Cooper down. I think she is ready for a dog of her own. (hint hint, Jamie and Carolina!)
