Halloween Photos

I'm so glad that Halloween finally came. Sean kept asking me for over a month when he would be able to go trick-or-treating. He wanted "dirt" on his face for his pirate outfit for the church party but on Halloween we changed his make-up to make him look like he had a moustache and goatee.

Sean is already for the church party.

Sean getting ready to go around our neighborhood. He is very excited to go.

This is Dean's costume which is the only picture for him since he screamed and ripped it off. We are ready for the long walk around the neighborhood.
Can you say.....CANDY, CANDY, and more CANDY!!!!

A Day At The Zoo

We love our annual passes for the zoo!We ALWAYS have to have this picture when we go.

Sean's just hanging around.

Sean is sitting on top of the gator. The minute he sees the gator he runs as fast as he can to get to it. GO GATORS!Playing on the spider web. Dean is so happy to be out of his stroller and running around the park.

Dean's 1st Goat Petting

I finally let Dean touch a goat. He loved it! Dean kept trying to hug them the whole time that we were there. I think he thought that they were like our dog which he won't stay off of.Dean is trying to brush the goats with a comb.
Sean loves petting the goats at the zoo. Everytime we go, he always asks to go and pet them.

The hardest time for Mommy with the goats was trying to get Dean over to the sinks and get him to wash his hands. He ALWAYS puts his hands or anything he can get his hands on into his mouth.

Walt Disney World

For Mommy's birthday, we decided to go down to Disney World. It was a last minute decision that we decided to do at 7:30 pm the night before we left. Sean woke up really fast when we woke him at 4:45 am and told him that we were going to Disney World. Our happy family in front of the Disney castle.
Daddy and Sean were first on the Barnstormer ride.

Dean's First Birthday (July)

Dean says, "I'm a little messy."

Sting Rays & Giraffes

Sean had fun petting the sting rays at the zoo. The only problem he said was that they were slimy.
Sean really enjoyed the giraffes. When he was finished feeding the giraffes lettuce he wanted to do it again. Now every time we go to the zoo he wants to feed the giraffes.

Cheerios Anyone?




This was a quiet day, or at least as quiet of a day you can have with two little boys around, and Mommy was working around the home. Mommy was in the office when a thought came to her saying, "Dean is being too quiet." I came out of the office and found him. He sure was happy!

Sean's 4th Birthday (May)

In May, Sean celebrated his 4th birthday. He had so much fun. His Grandma and Grandpa Rudd came over and so did Derrick, Toby, and all of their kids (Corey, Jordan, Emma, & Sam). He just loves when his cousins can come up and play.

Backyard Fishing Trip

It was normal morning when all of a sudden Penny, our faithful dog, started going crazy at our back windows. I thought that is was just a squirrel but when I looked out of the window I saw this.....a blue crab. I ran outside with the fishing net and caught it. We then took pictures and brought it across the street to the marsh and let it free. I had to call Paul and tell him what a good fisherwoman I was without even having to get into the boat.

Sean's Fishing Trip with Dad



Sean had been asking Daddy to take him out on the boat because he wanted to start fishing. Finally, Mom said it was OK to take him out and let him on "Daddy's boat". Of coarse, Sean caught 2 sheepshead and a ladyfish and Daddy didn't catch anything that day. When the great fishermen came home from an evening of fishing, Sean made Mommy cook the fish and everyone had to eat it. Now Sean is always asking Daddy to take him out on the boat.

A New Bike Rider






We now have a new bike rider in the family as of October. Sean just jumped on and started riding it was great! We now get to all bike ride as a family now. Of course, Dean is on the back of mommy's bike.

We are blogging!

It is official! The Ashley family is now blogging. I thought that I would start at the beginning of the year and post some of the "cool" things that have happened in our family. I hope everyone will take a look and enjoy.
