Cinderella and Prince Charming

Forgive me for allowing myself to dream of these two loving each other even when they are grown.  But you can't possibly blame me when I catch them in moments like these.  Ashley's boot fell off and Micah very sweetly put it back on for her.  Love it.

Ashley and Micah

Yesterday they were playing Mom and Dad.  It was very cute and a little bit I Love Lucy-ish (otherwise I would have put an end to it).

Later in the day they were playing outside in the sprinklers and I came outside to find them by the side of the house with Ashley in Micah's arms as he protected her from Tigger the neighbors cat.  I wish I'd had my camera, Ashley plays the helpless female card quite well when she wants too, otherwise she is quite an independent little girl.

Ashley's Birthday Party June 2012

For Ashley's birthday party I decided she would have a Hero Party because princes or princesses can be heroes.  We shot the bad guy with a squirtgun (my big kids had no idea who Snidely Whiplash was) - that was definitely Ashley's favorite part - or at least the part she wanted to tell everyone.  The we had to pop the alien balloons and finally we went through an obstacle course for training including how to avoid the mad ninja (Ryan).  They had a marvelous time and Ashley was so cute about it.

 In attendance: Ashley, Ryan, Izzy and Tommy.  Katelyn Schacher, Micah Fairbanks, Dalin and Marin Sigua, Lily Allen, Anchor Christensen and Brigham Moses.
