Our Princess

Ashtyn was invited to my cousin Jeanine's daughter's bday-tea party at Dear Lizzie's this past week, and boy was she excited for a month after receiving the princess invite. She's even carry the invitation around calling it her princess book; taking it to bed with her every night. The day finally arrived and Ashtyn was all dressed up as Cinderella for the big day (thanks Alli for the dress)!

I was so nervous when they had glass dishes for the 'tea party'. But they did so well drinking Pink punch so daintily! Ashtyn loved the pretty, pink Cinderella cake. She of course thought it was "my cake" for her since it was pink I guess. Her & Ryleigh loved playing with all the little princesses and reading their princess books. Or Ashtyn was reading hers to us all. They played pin the glass slipper on Cinderella, and Ash had to got put all her princess stickers on there afterward too. The girl's giggles were aplenty!

The girls played outside the boutique running up and down the sidewalk to hear their princess shoes click, click, click. They were enjoying each other, and we were enjoying watching them. Ashtyn was worn out after the party and slept all the way home with her princess bag and goodies.

Summer Fun

We have been so busy this past month trying to fit everything in before we head back to school SO early this year, that I may just have to put in a slide show of all we've done! We've had a blast with summer concerts and firework shows at our city celebrations in Saratoga Springs and the Ryan Shupe & the Rubberband; then in American Fork with 'The Beatles'. We did make it camping with Aunt Pam, Uncle Joe, and cousins Harley & Zach up in Coalville, UT above Park City. Yes, there were bathrooms & showers, and even a swimming pool & hot tub. The boys loved the fishing pond but got frustrated with lots of tangled lines and no fish-although Zach caught one out of the river our last night. Then they braved the cold waters of the river on tubes, and couldn't get enough of that...even Ashtyn was jumping right in ready for her turn with dad on the tube! She screamed the whole way down...with delight!
