I'm a Ballerina

Or at least I look Fab-u-lous in my outfit! The big "prize" for being potty trained was the ballet class. Alas it was a long time coming (!) but we finally got there and the class was a big hit. Clearly the outfits were much more critical then the dancing. The funniest part of the whole event for me was watching all the little girls (age 3-5) trying to do what the teacher was telling them to do while keeping a constant view of themselves in the mirrors to see how great they looked. Yes, i am getting a glimpse of what the teen years will be like.




Ashton's girlfriend Madeline decided to pose for a photo with her as well.

4th of July Family Reunion

What a blast! The whole family (on both sides) visiting for the 4th of July in Park City. We played on the mt., went river rafting, saw a parade, did the zipline, enjoyed fireworks, etc. We even had a series of bets on how fast the baby would crawl down the hallway.

First Christmas photo as sisters

Here is the first christmas photo of the two girls together. Took the photo in Maui but it took almost a week to accomplish. Turns out getting a new baby and a big sister both bathed, awake, dressed appropriately and even slightly interested in smiling is not small task.

Baby Jacqueline is here

Our new Baby Photo -- Jacqueline Cady Bear -- 9lbs 13oz

Disney Adventure

Suzie and the Crew joined us on a trip to Disney. Ashton loved "pirates" the most but also enjoyed small world and the tea cups. Natasha had the biggest job -- holding Ashton in lines to keep her from being too squirmy.


Here is our group photo and some view into Ashton's enthusiasm for the trip.

Park City for 4th of July

Biking with Dad

When Ashton was about a year old Bob was able to get her on the bike for a ride. Here is a photo of the two of them with their helmets.
