And Then There Was Easter.......

I know I'm so far behind....but I have to share these pictures from Easter. Of course we did the usual of dying eggs with my parents and two nephews (not sure where those photos went). Easter morning, Ashlyn decided she had to put on her new swimsuit she found in her Easter Basket before she could go egg hunting outside. It is still freezing in Enterprise that time of year, but Ashlyn is strong willed (nice way of saying STUBBORN!) She threw on her yellow rain boots and took off outside! The great thing about Ashlyn in Enterprise is that she is totally carefree. She wears whatever she wants, doesn't care if her hair is combed or what she looks like. Complete opposite of when she is in St. George....won't leave the house without her hair done, earrings in, lip gloss on.... in fact, her new teacher at school that she's had only a week calls her "My little Shopper" because Ashlyn is always put together with every accessory possible. I'm glad she is so carefree at grandma's house and wish she was a little more like that at home :) Alas, here are some pictures of Easter.

Ashlyn the Actress!

Ashlyn tried out for the Pinocchio play at Enterprise Elementary School. She was so happy to be selected as one Fair Isle Kids. She thought it was hilarious that she got to be a naughty boy! She loves to be dramatic!! There is a professional play company that travels to rural areas to teach kids all about theater. Enterprise Elementary was one of the lucky schools to receive this training! This was an awesome experience for Ashlyn who aspires to be an actress (she is proud of the fact that she can make herself cry on demand!). The kids learned lots of songs that they had to sing in the play. Ashlyn even had to be a donkey at one point and she loved it! They had practices every day after school. It was a lot of hard work, but completely worth it in the end. Of course we purchased a dvd of the play, and it is played often :)

Competition 2009-2010

Last dance season, we were living in Enterprise. This made it rather difficult for Ashlyn to be on the Show Team considering she would need to have someone drive her 45 mins each way for classes 3 days a week! We decided to take the year off from team dancing, but Ashlyn continued to take her technique classes once a week. I have to give a big thanks to my Mom for being committed to drive Ashlyn all that way for dance! Ashlyn also decided to do a solo. At first we were only going to do local competitions, but soon we decided to follow the team. This took us all over the place! New Mexico, Nevada, Salt Lake City and Ashlyn even competed at Lagoon! That was a fun weekend. Ashlyn did really well this year and I am so proud of her! Here are a couple of photos to recap the season.....

Wow!!

So I just realized it has been over a year since I have blogged! I guess with Facebook, I pretty much post most things there. I really want to blog though, so I will start working on some updates of things that have happened .....probably start with summer since I don't want to overwhelm anyone with a years worth of activities!
