The Louderback's: Ashie Turned ONE!!!

19 December 2008

Ashie Turned ONE!!!

It's official - my baby is growing up. I'm drying the tears as I type. I am just not ready for her to be so grown up. . . walking around, talking like she knows English, expressing her opinion openly and very effectively, laughing at jokes only she seems to understand, ransacking every room in the house in a matter of seconds, facing forward in her car seat, and suddenly seeming so big.

First picture - the look on her face the moment she saw her birthday cake.
Second picture - "I'll take that."
Third picture - "No, seriously, GIVE IT TO ME!!"

I made this miniature cake for Ashland. It wasn't much bigger than a cupcake. She loves anything stuffed and furry. I thought this bear would be perfect for her - and she loved it.

I thought she would tear into her cake without abandon, but she was very gentle and dainty - she even needed a little encouragement. I think she enjoyed it though. Ashland loves anything sweet. . . just like her Momma.

Ashie's favorite thing is a dog puppet we have. I always pretend to lick the girls faces with it and make it pant. Ashland has caught right on to that - and makes her own little panting noise anytime she sees it - or anything furry for that matter. Before she even got her present opened, she could see the fur and just stuck out her little tongue and started panting - in the cutest little way only she does. It was so adorable.

My friend Jenny, found this stuffed dog on sale and bought it for Ashland - Thanks!! She has been so cute with it. She carries him around just panting.

Happy Birthday little Ashie Baby. We love you.

Had I known you could make a cake like that I would had hired you to make one for Caleb's birthday. Glad all has gone well and that it's almost Christmas :); Tue Dec 23, 08:15:00 AM 2008

And I cannot believe that you made that cake! IT is adorable, and perfect! I used to always think it was so cheesy when people say "Enjoy every moment, they grow up so fast.." - things like that. But it is so true! And now I could say that everyday!; Wed Dec 24, 08:46:00 AM 2008

Thoughts by Cadence

12 March 10
I want an ipod with lots of songs and lots of movies and lots of games for my birthday. . . and if that's too expensive, you can just buy me something else. Okay, mommy?

31 July 09
After staying a few days at grandma's she says, "When my Mom comes to pick me up, can we lock the doors and pretend we're not home?"

17 July 09
"I don't want to live here anymore because I want to live by grandma. I don't want you to be my mom anymore. Can we call grandma and see if she will be my mom? I like her best, so I want her to be my mom - not you."

13 May 09
After attending a graveside ceremony for Uncle Dean, Cadence says, "Mom, did you know that a motorcycle could die?" "It can," I replied. "Yeah - it really can," she said. Well, as she and her cousin were exploring the cemetery, they came across a headstone with a motorcycle on it. I realized what she was talking about and explained to her that some people pick a picture of something they really liked to put on their headstone. She looked at me with the most serious face and said, "Oh, Hayden and I thought that motorcycle had really died!"

19 Mar 09
I jogged over to get Cadence from Joy School and she wanted to jog back - after running a good distance she said, "Mom, this is UNBEARABLE." (Where does she hear these things?) Then she says, "But Friday, it will be bearable." Crazy kid.

I went in to kiss Cadence goodnight and she said, "Heavenly Father is the BEST GUY! He really is."

17 Feb 09
While I was talking on the phone, Cadence came over and said, "You need to take care of us." Hmmm, is that a hint?

3 Jan 09
After rolling our balance ball over her sister, I told Cadence that she needed to put it downstairs. "Yeah," she said, "cause it needs a time out. It just pushed my sister down." Understand that it wasn't Cadence, it was THE BALL!!!!

9 Dec 08
"Mom, why do you go to the gym EVERY day? You just get all sweaty and your face gets ALL red."

8 Dec 08
After NOT LISTENING to her mother's tenth warning to stop touching the sprayer in the sink, Cadence SPRAYED THE KITCHEN DOWN. She sat in the NAUGHTY SPOT for three minutes and then came to appologize, "Sorry Mommy, I'm really sorry for spraying the kitchen. . . I was just trying to clean it." Nice.

7 Dec 08
While sitting on Grandma's lap in church, she says, "We have blood in our bodies and BOOGERS in our NOSES." Anatomy 101. That's my girl.

11 Nov 08
"Mom, your the best teller storier."

30 Oct 08
While Cadence and her Grandma were walking hand in hand, her Grandma started singing - Cadence said, "Grandma, nobody wants to hear that." Do you think she's ever heard that before? Well, my disclaimer is that I have never said that to her about her singing - only her crying!!

27 Oct 08
Before her daddy kissed her goodbye this morning, she said, "You have whiskers, just kiss me on the hair."

14 Oct 08
After being told to hold still by her daddy, Cadence said, "I can't stop moving. I'm too wigglish." (Is that like ticklish?)

11 Oct 08
We heard this outburst as we were driving - during the first snowstorm of the year.
"GASP!! We forgot to put up our CHRISTMAS TREE!"

9 Oct 08
"It's fall, so the leaves are falling off the trees. And someday when the wind stops blowing, we can put them in a big pile." (Little does she know - we live in Idaho - where the wind NEVER STOPS BLOWING!!!)

7 Oct 08
While her daddy was telling her stories in bed, she sniffed him (he'd just mowed the lawn) and said,"Daddy, you stink! Garbage stinks. . . We have stuff to spray on garbage to make it not stink. We don't have any. We need to go to the store and get some." The next morning, she wakes up and asks me, "Did daddy take a shower? Cause he stinks!"

Sept 08
"If you're really still, you can feel an angel in your heart."
