Ashley's 8th Grade Formal

BLINK - What happened?! It seems like yesterday Ashley was in 1st grade missing her two front teeth. Then you turn around and she's going to her first formal dance in 8th grade. What?! We never had a formal dance in 8th grade, my how times have changed.

Gulp, wow is this really my daughter? After a morning of hair, make-up etc. she's ready to go. Ashley, you look so beautiful. Maybe a little TOO beautiful.

Lets just have one more flash back because I think this is how 'Dad' still see's her, as his little girl. So you can understand then why he did NOT like this whole situation at all. He was not in the best of moods that day. It's hard to watch them grow up (because it means you're getting older too, right honey?)

All my girls, well except for Madison (who just fell off a chair and didn't want to be in the picture.)

My mom brought over a corsage for Ashley, thanks mom! Matt helped her put it on, I think he was nervous.

I was privileged enough to be the driver and to take pictures in Fulton Ranch by the water where a group of about 30 kids were meeting up. Matt didn't go.

Ashley & Ashley - they really are like twins. They have become such good friends this year and will be in high school together next year. Did I just say high school?? (Gulp)

Ashley & Sam - another really good friend of Ashley's. Sigh, all these girls are so cute.


Thankfully Ashley went with a group of girls.

Because if Matt would have gone with me...he wouldn't have liked...the boys. There is a reason he didn't go with me, I can see it now. (lol)

Have a fun night girls! ~ They did.
