"Bob Ross is my teacher."
-Ashlyn
As Papa told Ashlyn on Saturday, “welcome to the club”. Ashlyn has officially left the single digit years behind and joins the rest of us in the double digits. She celebrated this milestone three times this weekend, because why not? It started as soon as the kids woke up on her birthday. After all the little presents, Ashlyn went outside to find her new bike waiting for her.
The next event was the family gathering. Everyone played, talked, ate hamburgers, and then enjoyed an incredible looking cake that Grandma made. The cousins had fun playing together as always, and then James and Grandpa spent time after the party flying drones around. All in all, it was a great way to spend some time on a Saturday afternoon and Ashlyn appreciated everyone coming to wish her a happy birthday.
The third and final event was at a ninja warrior place with Ashlyn’s friends. All the kids had a lot of fun and were completely worn out after all the running, jumping, and climbing. Luckily they had plenty of sugary cupcakes and candy in their party bags to keep them going.
In James news, his team had soccer pictures this weekend. Not enough kids showed up to make buying the pictures worth it. Mommy got James to pose for a picture though, so that’s nice. James is still really enjoying soccer and is interested in joining the club team.
