Leap!

 As soon as this movie came out, Ashlynn was begging to see it. 

She loves Paris and dancing, and is always dreaming.

  She is very passionate about

 everything. This seemed to be the perfect movie for her.

She and I finally found a time to go and it was such a fun night.  After the movie, we immediately went on to Itunes and downloaded the soundtrack sang all the way home.
We had to stop singing for a little while when we stopped
at Ashlynn's favorite place to eat, Panera bread. 
  I absolutely LOVED this movie, as did she.

I do not love most animated movies. It is usually by force that I go to see them.

This one was adorable!

 These pictures are from last year's anti-bully week (or something like that:).

She had Pajama day, hat day...

 Wacky Day,

 Sports day.  I love how much she loves this Romo Jersey 

It was her brother's,  they keep telling 

her that he doesn't even play anymore, but it is still her favorite.  I have a theory about why she loves it so much.  I feel that memories play such an impact on the things we treasure. 

When Britton was given this jersey, the boys and Ashlynn would watch the games and cheer with them all the time.  Riley was very good about making Cowboy game time a PARTY time. Cheering was involved and anytime a touchdown was made he would put Ashlynn on his shoulders and run around the room hollering YAHOO!  Popcorn and food was a must.  During halftime, Riley would take everyone outside to toss the football around.  JD didn't work Sunday evenings so he was always involved in this and usually made a big pan of brownies to eat after halftime.  Britton and Ashlynn loved all of this.  QUALITY TIME is a love language they both speak. We might need to start doing a better job of making game time fun again like Riley did:). 

 I am pretty sure the memories are why she loves the jersey.
