I neglected posting on Ashley's Birthday. She turned 24 on March 30th. She was my very shy child who hid behind Mommy when someone was over. I hear the incredulous laughing now. For anyone who knows her cannot believe that would be true. But I assure you, that for a brief little moment, she was shy and if you can believe this, quiet. Later in life, she sang everything, everywhere. The Little Mermaid songs were often heard coming from the bathroom. And once, I overheard her reading the back of a shampoo bottle in an advertising type of voice.

As a teen, she angered every adult that she came across. You see....Ashley was always right, just ask her coaches! She gives a little now, but....well, just ask her husband John if she has given up that stubborn streak. But God is good, he has given her a lovely daughter with the same disposition! My mother was fond of saying that my behavior would come back to haunt me in my children.....it's so nice to see that it just goes on and on.

As an adult, she is doing very well working a personal banker and as a mother and a wife. She has worked very hard to get her life to where it is now and Pete and I couldn't be any prouder of her.

I am so blessed to have four happy, healthy children! Give your child a hug every day and tell them how special they are!

Great post, Aunt Elizabeth! I really enjoyed reading about when Nick and Ashley were little. Funny to think I'll be embarrassing Joey and Kylah in the same way someday! :)
Blessings upon you, your husband and your wonderful children. Happy birthday, Nick!
My youngest daughter will be retiring from the USAF in December this year. She and her hubby have bought a home in Fremont (his home town).
Ok I finally checked your blog again... did you really have to tell the shampoo bottle story??? I suppose there are worse ones you could have told!
Love you
Ash
