Happy Birthday Ashley Ann! I have raised you right, you have those Gypsy genes workin it for you. So glad you got away with your little family most of July and are in the sunshine again. You were a delightful middle child to have organized us all (including your mother). Your Aunt Nell use to call you the bannie rooster, you would run your two older brothers around even before you could walk or talk. I think you only weighed 17 pounds on your 1st birthday and you will always be the shortest one in our family. I was so happy to have a girl after two boys, that the day you came home from the hospital I went out shopping and bought you a new bonnet. You also only wore purple or pink, just like Alice loves now.
However, we are so proud of you and the wife, mother, and best friend to many, that you have become. You are also a faithful daughter to your heavenly father and I wish you many earthly and heavenly blessings throughout your life. Go ahead and eat cake!
Love you, Mom
