For her birthday, I spent the whole day doing what she wanted to do. The only thing I MADE her do was take a nap so I could have a little rest. We started out the day playing play-doh, playing with her new tinkerbell cards,dressing up her magnet doll, then we made veggie pizza for lunch,she took a little nap while I worked, when she woke up we went out and enjoyed the sunshine. She rode her new BIRTHDAY bike for a little bit, then wanted to just walk around. We kicked a ball in the back yard, and wrote on the sidewalk with chalk. Then our good friends Cherise and Bryce came over for Dinner - I made sweet pork and it was soooo yummy. I did a great job I must say. I made macacroni and cheese (That's what she calls it) for Aspen because that's what she wanted. And finally to complete the day, we ate cake of course...and she wanted to go spend the night at Grandmas...a nice birth day treat for me! All in all, I think we had a fun day. Being a "STAY AT HOME MOM" without working the business while I was home, was actually harder work I think...takes a lot more energy then letting her watch cartoons while I work...
I am so thankful for you in my life little Aspen. I have dreamed about you since I was in the 9th grade. I knew you would be my baby Aspen someday, and I'm so grateful to my father in heaven for blessing our lives with you! You are a beautiful little angel and you bring a lot of sunshine into your mom and dad's lives. Keep growing and learning, and being the sweet girl you are. I love you!
Here's some pics.

Oh, she is SO cute Shanda! I cannot believe she is three already!
It seems like just yesterday that I drug you ALL OVER LOGAN shopping when you were so pregnant you probably just wanted to sit!
I can't believe she is 3. That means mine is 3 soon. She is too cute. We should have a "fancy nancy" tea party with the gals. Love you. miss you.
I agree with everyone else, she is very cute. I never got to see you pregnant so I loved that picture. I always love to see pregnant pictures, I think they are the prettiest.
LOVED these pictures- what a fun trip down memory lane! And p.s. I agree with Paula... a fancy nancy party is a MUST!
I was thinking that this was her second birthday... she can't be 3 already?!?!? The pictures of her at 6 and 8 months, that's how I picture her in my head. Happy birthday, sweet Aspen. Sounds like you and your mom had a super fun day celebrating doing everything your way! You sure have awesome parents and you are an awesome daughter. :)
I love the picture of you two!!She looks so much like you. I think you both have the same smile. both cute girls!
