We went to Aunt Susan's and Ashlea got to spend some time with her cousins. Aliah and Ashlea did some crocheting together.

party pictures

Ashlea is 9

Ashlea had a very nice birthday party at the bowling alley. They had fun bowling and busting open a pinata. I didn't get any pictures of the pinata, too busy holding it. Shawna and Kathy helped me. I think a fun time was had by all.

New and improved zoo park

We went to the zoo park and what a surprise. The last time we were there everything had been painted an ugly brown. Ashlea and I were sooo disappointed it didn't have the happy feeling of the colors that we were use to and looked drab. It must have been a primer, because now everything is painted bright and cheerful, including the benches and inside the spaceship. The painting was done by volunteers who donated their time and paint. This was the wives of the pipeliners that are laying pipe for the Canadian pipeline.

purple or blue???

. Ashlea had decided to spend some of her money. She wanted a wig. Hmmmm which one purple or blue,. As you can see she decided on blue.

bored with fever
