Ashley

The little lady. The 9 year old going on 16. These were taken in September or early October when Jason and Ashley went to a Daddy daughter thing at our church. It was a cowboy theme, if you couldn't tell. I'm not sure if we ever did a post about it.

I thought I would write a little about Ashley since she hasn't been featured for awhile on our blog. She's many things, and I'm having a hard time deciding where to start. She's very smart and seems to soak everything in. She asks many questions. She'll always ask what a word means if she doesn't know. She stumps us sometimes, because some words are just hard to explain without using the word in the definition. I don't know if we always explain it well enough for her to understand. She for the most part is very calm and quiet. She has her hyper moments, but they are getting few and far between. Sometimes she's content to go sit on her bed and read for hours. If you give her the opportunity to talk though, she will. For example, not too long ago she went with me to run some errands. I asked her about Webkinz. For those of you that don't know, they are stuffed animals that you buy and register online and can do an array of things with online. I didn't really know too much about them, so I asked her what all you can do online. She talked for an hour and a half non-stop about all you can do with them. After that time, she said "I know there's more, but I can't remember everything". I said that was okay, I think I understand now. She's a very special girl, and it has been fun watching her grow and learn. I'm excited for the years to come to see what kind of woman she becomes.
