Ashlyns' Big Night (School Christmas Program)

Well I think that my little girl is going to be an actress....... She was an angle in her Christmas program and she held the star of belthlem. She was so excited about that night and she was practicing all week long to know all the songs and know her big speech. She closed the program and she said thank you all for coming and always remember that Jesus is the reason for the season!

The city that we live in has a Christmas program that they put on every year and they have Santa go around to every neighborhood on a fire truck and let the kids sit on Santas lap and he gives out candy canes and some coloring kits and stickers, and there is also frosty and rudolph.... she had a blast see santa, frosty, and rudolph... when we were done she looked at chris and I and said I think that, that rudolph wasn't the real one because the real one needs his rest to get ready for his big night of flying all over the world. NO one can fool her she knows whats going on.

Merry Christmas everyone, we hope you have a wonderful Christmas and happy New Year! We wish that we could be with are family during these holidays but they aren't far from our hearts and that is what is important. May the new year bring you all nothing but joy and happiness! Love Chris, April, and Ashlyn Durham

Happy 5th Birth Day Ashlyn

Well it's official my little baby isn't a baby anymore she is a big girl all of 5 years old. For all you mothers out there Chuck E Cheese is a mad house for Birth day party's....... although Ashlyn and her friends had fun I was running around trying to keep an eye on all of the children and keep them going with the time schedule that Chuck E Chesse puts on you. I rented the table for an hour and a half and let me just tell you trying to keep a schedule at Chuck E Cheese with five 5 year olds is impossible..! Ashlyn had a great Birthday and she loved her Tinker Bell ice cream cake. Ashlyn told me that night when she was getting ready for bed that that was the best b-day she ever had... and that she got everything that she wanted so today when she got two more presents she was blown away she told Chris and myself that we were the best parents a girl could ever have! Sorry that the pictures aren't great things were very crazy, but it was a great day.

Big belly

Okay this is what my belly looks like as of now. I am 7 months and I have 2 more months to go can you imagine how much bigger I am going to get.

I wanted to join all the pictures of sleeping kids so here is Ashlyn sleeping on the stairs. Chris and I were watching a movie that was not suitable for her and she was supposed to be upstairs watching her movie but her movie got over before ours and she kept coming down stairs to be with her dad but when daddy told her to go upstairs and wait for him she only made it half way.... she got too tired of waiting.

I didn't mean to post this picture but somehow it snuck in here so this is Ashlyn and her best friend at school Madison at there preschool halloween party.

halloween pictures

Okay well I know that Halloween was over a long time ago but this pictures is most recent of Ashlyn and me. We went to a Halloween party and our friends house and we had a great time. This picture is one of the only pictures I have taken since I started to show..... I was big two months ago imagine how big I am now. Well I just thought that I would post a little something even if it was a little past due. Saturday is Ashlyns birthday party and I will post pictures of her party on Saturday night so take another look then.

chris and I are so happy that the next addition to our family will be arriving in Feburary. I am due the on the 26th. This pregnancy has been great, we had been waiting a long time for this baby. We are so out of baby mode, our little Ashlyn is four almost five and she gives us a run for our money!! Our crazy family will be perfect with our little boy add to the mix, he better like the outdoors cause he is being thrown into a family who likes doing things outdoors.... I think dirt bikes and quads are in his blood along with surfing, Ashlyn loves to do all those things with her dad so it must be in the blood.

Ashlyns' 5th Birthday is comming up!

Ashlyn is turning 5 and we are having her party at Chuck E Cheese, its her favorite place to go and play games. She is so excited and we wish our family could be there but pictures will have to do so I will post when we have her party. Here is Ashlyn at the begining of this year I will take more pictures to show how much she has grown.

Ashlyn cant wait to be a big sister to her new baby brother she can't wait until he is born. She will be a great big sister.

My next doctors appointment will be on monday and I will officially be 7 months my how the time has flown by, soon we will be a family of four. Chris is working hard getting ready to see where he is on the promotions list...... I am so proud of him he past all of his tests and did great with all of his interviews he is up for 3 different positions: Corpral, Detective, and Sargent. He is great at what he does and supports his family well... I am praying for the Sargent position!! We are all so excited for our new baby and working hard to get ready for him. We are pretty sure that our little boy will be named Collin James Durham.
