Love, Laughter & Ladybugs: Ashley a Lockhead for 8 YEARS!

Hi All,

Thanks for stopping by. Just a quick post to mark the milestone of Ashley's 8th anniversary as a Lockhead!

Ashley just started 4th Grade! She's doing well in school and is making new friends. We're coming off a great summer, where we covered a lot of ground, and made lots of wonderful memories.

She's doing really well health-wise, since her reversal surgery. She is maturing and understands the importance of managing her lifestyle and balancing her diet, exercise, and lifestyle to make sure she stays on track. She's gotten to be a very strong little lady, and enjoys long bike rides, hiking, and tearing up the local playgrounds.

In the spring, we vacationed at the Hard Rock Resort in Riviera Maya and spent most of the week with Uncle Mark, Luke and Logan - something we've never had the chance to do - what a great time we had!

In the summer, we visited Grandma and Poppa in Michigan and had fun at Uncle Mark's lake Cottage, went fishing at the local neighborhood lake, and even went on a Dune Buggy Ride up by Muskegon. We even visited a wild animal park near Grandma's.

Then, the very next week, Uncle Mark and Luke came to visit US! Luke had two LAX tournaments and we made day trips all week! Lots of fun!

Later in the Summer we were fortunate enough to visit Hawaii. We went to Maui on Vacation. Ewe had a great week - except for the Hurricane! We lost a couple of days, but we managed to sneak in a bunch of great times!

Also in the Summer, we visited with Dad's High School Friend Mr. Hunter and his B-I-G (Literally!!) family - and had a great Day at the beach!

It's been a great year... here are some photos of our adventures...
