would you say i had a plethora....

of pictures??? (or pinatas...for all of those who remember the 3 Amigos)...i'm just now starting to catch up on my blogging...summer has been so incredibly hectic that i haven't had time to sit down for a rant/picture/rave session...so i decided to give you a little eye candy this time in the form of pictures of my beautiful daughter...i promise...more soon... (warning warning warning for all of you picture buffs out there...pictures are as shot...with cropping and sharpening and nothing else...well, except for maybe a couple i did a few days ago...so deal with it...lol)

big day here...ashlyn got invited to a friend's birthday party at club libby lu....

beauty is a tiresome thing

pretty sparkly nails

now time for the hair

just beautiful

okay mom, these pants are really starting to bother me now...(it's all she could concentrate on the entire time she had them on...poor thing)

some glittery hearts complete the makeover

now...time to dance

group huddle....

okay...moving on from there we have ashlyn's newest fashion fave....knee high socks (we managed to clean out target's stock of knee highs..maybe i'll do a knee high montage after a week or two of her wearing all of her different pairs)...she must wear them with her outfits...though only with closed toe shoes...she tells me that socks aren't made for sandals...oh...and you will see in a few of the pics her new "pose"....hand on hip with her butt sticking out...lol...

our almost daily event...walking the dog

time to play...mom...hold the dog

i'm number one...woo hoo

anyone up for a quick game of peek-a-boo

the pose....

and from there we go to tap....ashlyn got her haircut the other day and they put this little braid in her hair (which she is in love with)...she looked way too cute not to take pictures...on the tap side of things...she's doing awesome...getting a bit on one on one time with her teacher so they're working hard...her teacher thinks she's really excelling....i just think she's plain cute running around in her tap outfit...

and last but not least a few from rollerskating...she's actually really getting the hang of it...she's actually moving faster than snail speed now...maybe even a little faster than turtle

had to get a shot of the knee highs...

well that's about it for now....we've been on the go non-stop lately...so i'm sorry to all those i've been neglecting...things should start slowing down after next week...weeeeeeeee....and hopefully i'll be getting out and about then....
