Ashlyn 1st Birthday

I can't believe it has really been a year! Ashlyn has changed our lives in so many ways! We had fun celebrating her birthday. We watched our family video journal that showed the day she was born. It was fun to remember. You can watch that by clicking on the link. http://rickardsfamily.blogspot.com/2008/08/rickards-family-video-journal.html

She loves to climb, so we bought her this little Kangaroo Climber with a slide. (Yes, I have fall decoration out and it is still 90 degress outside!) She loves to climb on it, but isn't too sure about the slide.
After her nap, we went to the zoo. She loved it! It was so funny to watch her reactions to the animals! I love this picture of us in front of the elephants! We are are looking at the camera, but Ashlyn couldn't take her eyes off the elephant!



Me (Tara), Ashlyn, Austin, and Jason
This was a pretty common reaction and constantly had us laughing!

Later that night, we sang happy birthday and let her open a few presents.
