T-Ball Season 2010

Well, our first try at T-ball was a success. Just HOT though! Who thought it was a good idea to have tball in the summer in the south! The team was great and even though we didn't keep score, they won.

China travel group Reunion 2010

Our reunion in Gulf Shores of our 2005 China Travel Group. We have had the girls for 5 years now!

Swimming 2010

Ashley's many courses of swimming lessons have paid off. She loves to swim, does it well and likes to show off on the diving board. The lifeguards at the pool call her the fish!

Easter Dress Photos

This is why we do not pay to get professional photographs of our child. This was the best of many in her Easter Dress. (this is her best T-Rex impression)

Daddy Daughter Dance 2010

This is a picture someone at the dance took and the actual dance pictures were much better. Ashley has that 'deer in the headlight look' but its kinda funny. They both get so excited to attend the annual Daddy Daughter Dance every year. This was a hard day, we (Mike) had driven to Fairhope for the CNY parade and back to get her ready in time for her date with Daddy.

Made in China

Mike pulled this sticker off of something and put it on her nose...I just had to take a picture.

CNY 2010

We went to the annual Chinese New Year parade in Fairhope. Only 4 of the 8 girls in our travel group got to attend. As we get older and more busy, it is sad to say, but there will be more obstacles in our way to getting together. From left to right: Jade, Ashley, Kati & Tori (twins)

Ashley PAYNE Hilyer picture

I made these pants (as a size 2) two years ago because we wanted to do this picture but the little turkey just grew into the bloomin pants! Our little Payne Stewart.

Annual Christmas picture

Mike thinks he looks like he swallowed Mickey Mouse! We did eat alot in that week.

Thanksgiving Feast at School

This so cracks me up! Does anyone remember Pocahontas was a pilgrim too? And after their pilgrim shoes they had a costume change to Indians, um, excuse me, Na-tive A-mer-i-cans (that was for my buddy Brenda). And they got to pick names for their headbands, Ashley was Running Rabbit Ashley! Mrs Leonard outdid herself with those children and making a feast from scratch.

Recliner surfing!

She really did fall asleep like this, he is faking! Recliner po-ta-toes!

Annual Alabama Picture for Mike's office

We had Halloween Trick or Treating tonite b/c there is a home AU game on actual 31st. These pictures are from the Country Club
Halloween kids party last week.

Ashley's costume is a Lee-Scott Cheerleader!

Last day at Disney 09

AShley loved feeding the ducks popcorn, but she was not suppose to, they loved her. She met lots more famous actors, like here is Timon from The Lion King movie.

More Disney pics

We went to disney to see the charactors from Cars, Ashley does NOT like those 'stinkin princesses' or anything else girly. Her and her dad danced in the streets at the Block Party.

Disney Trip 2009

We went to Disney for Ashley's birthday. She met lots of charactors. Our view of the animals from the hotel room at the Animal Kingdom Lodge was great, a different animal daily.

Ashley turns 5!

Cheering at the HS game

The graduates of the cheer camp got to cheer at the high school game at the pregame show. Ashley is the short tan one.

Cheerleading Camp

She loved being around those tweens and teens but still insists she is not a girly girl and is a certified expert tomboy!

Start to a new school this fall

Ashley started school at Lee-Scott Academy this year, Pre K-4. She loves her classmates and teacher, Mrs Leonard, so do we!
