Order in the Court

I received a speeding ticket in Wakefield a couple of months ago. I decided to dispute the ticket. I took Ashlea with me to court and we got there early. This court room is extremely small. I took a picture of Ashlea as the judge before anyone came in. To my surprise Judge Carlson turned out to be a female. I asked her if I could take her picture with Ashlea and showed her the pic I had already taken of Ashlea as Judge Carlson. She thought it was cute. Rick James is the Clay County attorney and was such a big help to me when adopting Ashlea. He said he still has a drawing up in his office that Ashlea drew for him and his Wife when Ashlea was about 3 years old. I will be forever grateful for all Rick and Natalie did for me.

Who is this pretty girl. Looks like California gurl

anybody know who this girl is that showed up on my camera??

more pictures no title

Ashlea wanted to taste an anchovie. Yuck she gagged and almost lost it at Pizza Hut. Everyone was watching and laughing.

Catch up on some pictures

i'm just doing some catch up on pictures, Ashlea and friend have been playing dress up from princesses to cool dudes. Modeling some of her swimsuits. and our tree that has fell down from a hail storm with high winds.

The rain made way for swimming

our friends the Wohlers made it to the pool also, Tracy, Trace, and Brock. What happens when you get air in your swimsuit????

Singing in the rain.

Lanie spent the night and we are planning on going swimming today. I'm not sure if the storm is going to pass, we sure hope so. Usually here in Kansas they are short lived. The girls had fun singing and screaming in the rain. Cutie Pie doesn't like it much.

Its a hit

Ashlea is playing T-ball and on the Clay Gourmet team. She is getting pretty good at catching and hitting the ball. Maybe next year it will be the B's.

Flag Day

Ashlea helped the Lions club put out the flags for Flag Day.

Dolls and Lions?

Monday was a busy day. Ashlea went to vacation bible school. I picked her up along with a friend. This is Sara. They have known each other since pre-school but never been in the same class. Sara and Ashlea played with dolls. Sara's mom picked her up about 4:15. We had ceramics at 4:30. At 6:30 we were invited to attend the Morganville Lion's club meeting. They had a nice pot-luck. We will probably join.

Flowers in her hair

Sunday Ashlea went to Roger and Patty's house in the evening. Patty helped her wax her eyebrows. Then she put some flowers in her hair and walked her home. How pretty is that?

Yeah, The Clifton pool is open

This is our favorite place to spend hot summer days.

Sunday drive

It was such a nice morning. We went out early to work in our flower beds. Roger Clark was out mowing and stopped to say HI. Ashlea wanted to go for a ride. Roger runs the lumber yard here in Morganville. He has been a very good father figure to Ashlea. He is going to help her make a bird house this summer.

My big girl helper

Ashlea is such a big help with chores around the house. I'm not sure if this was work or play for her. She did a great job of washing off the patio roof. We will be putting our pool up soon.
