Maternity Pics + Ashlyn's four year old pics ...

Memorial Day Weekend we always go to the mountains with our buddies.  The past few years I asked Martha Rose to do a photo shot of Ashlyn while we were there.  It's perfect because it doesn't take long, Ashlyn enjoys it, and I get pictures!  Martha has her own side business with photography and takes great photo's!  This year we did a double session.  One preggo.  One photo session of Ashlyn!  These will always be treasured!  Thanks Mart!!!
 
This is the first time that Mike took preggo pics with me.  It was fun!
 
Week 33!!!






Ashlyn did great too!  Martha Rose is fantastic at making children photo sessions go quick!  She just snaps the camera and takes lots of natural shots!  I love it!!!

4 years old!!!

 The sun was so pretty!  We stood in a field as the sun set down over the mountain.


Ashlyn absolutely loves dandelion and even gets a bit annoyed that we don't have any growing in our yard.  :)  No thank you!  She runs out into the neighboring fields and picks a whole bunch of them.  Then we hands me her bouquet.  We put them in water and enjoy the yellow on the kitchen table for a few days.  :)  She just learned this year though that if you wait for the dandelion to turn into seeds, you can blow it to pieces.  She loved doing that too! 

Make a wish!  :)


Time to do a dance.


This darling can not wait for our little bundle to arrive!  She will be a huge little helper!  She adores babies so much!  I can't wait to see them bond and grow up together!!!  She will be the best big sister she knows how to be!!!

I love you so much Ashlyn!!!  It's hard to believe that you turned four already!  You are growing up so fast!  You are our sunshine.  Our drama queen.  Our gardener.  Our long haired blondie.  Our blue eyed baby!  You love your kittens.  You love your brother and sister.  You really love your daddy!  You love to play with your doll 'baby Kate' and all your doll house toys.  Your little kitchen set gets played with almost daily!  You love the pool and can now swim alone when wearing your puddle jumper.  You love vegetables and watermelon!  You run to the garden and pick my sugar peas, strawberries and peppers.  I can't wait to see you and baby love be together!  Thanks for being our sweet four year old daughter!!!
