Getting Old

Ash became one year older this month. It was a pretty uneventful day for her. It seems once you have kids you're really not all that interested in doing anything for your birthday. I had a final that morning and some friends wanted to go hike a ski resort (since there hasn't been enough snow to open them yet) and ski down, and since she's such a great wife she didn't have a problem with me going (especially since I don't go and do things very often with friends). After getting back, and regretting the hike of the day, we had a little party with cake and ice cream. Adahleigh has been into helping with everything lately too, so she got to help make the cake which was really exciting for her. This last week she also got to help make rice krispy treats with mom, which she just couldn't get enough of it.

Ever since her birthday she loves to blow out candles, so we let her help on our birthdays.

Luckily, this time she didn't have any mishaps like on my birthday were she got too close to the candles and caught her hair on fire. She was more scared than hurt, but it must not have traumatized her too much if she still wants to blow out candles. Whats funny is once she gets them all blown out she always asked to do it again.

She was able to keep her eyebrows, but some of her eyelashes are a little shorted like her hair. It's probably a good thing that she didn't have any hair spray in that day.
