I'm Engaged!!!

Its Christmas day and everyone except Kirt, Lindsey and Colton are there. My neice and nephew just finished opening there presents fromm grandpa and grandma and we are all sitting there talking then out of no where chad comes in with this big present. I was thinking to myself..."What the heck is that?" Chad hands me the gift and I start to read the comment of the box...as I open the gift there is other gift and another comment on that gift....well this goes on for a few more boxes. Then I get to the last box and open it. Inside is a camera case to go with my camera Chad got for me for christmas. Well at first I didnt see the ring cliped to the chain on the case so I go on and open the camera case and inside is a memory card and I told chad thank you and chad just looked at me and then I looked at the outside of the box and there is the ring!!!! I turned towards Chad and he said " Ashley Will You Marry Me?" Of course I said YES!!! And then I gave him a big kiss (twice) and a huge hug!!! Everyone was cheering and so excited!!! I am really glad he did it in front of my family because now i have all these pictures and a video of the whole thing!!!! I called family and let them know and everyone is so excited and happy for Chad and I! I am so happy to be getting married to Chad. He is the best thing that has ever happend to me!

Road Trip

So toward the end of the summer and into the new school year my brother, Trevor, Becky, Chad and I took a little road trip up to Flagstaff to get some school books for Becky. Becky is doing some online classes at NAU. We had so much fun. It was nice to get away for the day and enjoy the cooler weather. Here is some pictures of out little trip and all the fun exciting thing we did.

Aww so cute!

Precious!

Just being goofy in the car!

More Couple Pictures!

We went up to the ski resort and were going to ride the lift but it was closed because of the high winds. It was a bummer because we were all looking forward to it. So instead we took some pictures, even though it was freezing cold.

My Baby!

Well I havent got to tell you about my little baby that I got about 6 months ago. He was born on Mothers Day and he is the best thing that could have entered into my life well except for Chad. He is cute and fluffy. And the newest part of the family. Everyone please meet my dog Banditt!!

He is a Siberian Husky. Isn't he so cute!

He sleeps every where. He loves the tile the most because its nice and cold

Tigger has a new buddy to hang out with now. At first he didn't know what to do when he brought Banditt home but now they just can't get enough of each others.

Isn't that so percious!

Sorry about the red eye but he is my little baby and I love him so much! I just wish he was still this small. He is almost as big as Tigger now.

(More pictures to come)
