Ashley Lately

By 6 Comments

Hey y’all!
What, you didn’t think that since I changed my blog name that my Ashley Lately posts would go away, did you? :)
A couple of weeks ago, I had a Friday afternoon off and Joyce had the day off of school, so I went to her house and spent the afternoon with her and the Littles. She had Little Miss and Little Bit too, so it was a full house! It’s been awhile since I have spent an extended period of time with them, and we had so much fun!
Little Miss looooooves taking pictures!

Little Miss and little Girl had fun “fixing” my hair

Joyce has taught all of the girls to do I love you in sign language! It’s super sweet! Oh, and Little Miss is all about playing dress-up right now :)

Could these girls be any cuter?
Last week, Teddie and I skyped, so I got to “meet” Baby D! He is soooooooo precious! When I get some good pictures of him I’ll share them here, but until then, here’s Baby D’s first picture with Aunt Ashley!
I love them so much!
Friday night, we went out for a goodbye dinner for Kendall. She’s a model and is moving out to LA this week to work. I have loved working with her, and we are really going to miss her at TVP!
We had a lovely dinner at BJs and had a great time just hanging out!

I’m going to miss this girl so much! So proud of her!
Yesterday was Kendall’s last day at TVP. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen my TVP chalkboard pictures, where we post special sales and fun quotes. We made a special board just for Kendall’s last day!

I can’t wait to see what she’s going to do in LA! She takes GORGEOUS photos, and I know she’s going to be so successful!
Monday night, Regina was in town for work, and we got to have dinner! It’s been about a year since we’ve seen each other, and it was WONDERFUL to catch up! I miss having her in OKC so much!
Amanda, we missed you too!
And, just because it’s been awhile, here’s a cute picture of my kitty cat :)
He’s a sweetie!
Y’all have a great Wednesday!

I’m Feelin’ 22…um…27

By 12 Comments

Hey y’all!
I’m back from my little blogging vacation, and I’ve got a lot to catch you up on. I’ve been busy!
On the 17th, I turned 27. That seems like such a weird number :) Anyway, I’ve had a pretty great time celebrating!
On my birthday, Annie and Ashton took me to lunch!
They are such precious girls, and I’m thankful that I get to work with them!
We had wonderful Mexican food, and they definitely made me wear the sombrero while they sang Happy Birthday.
Saturday, Jessica came up, and we spent most of the day together! Our birthdays are three days apart, and we always try to celebrate together!
Love her sooooooo much!
Sunday, Colby and I met Momma and Daddy halfway to have lunch! Momma made my favorite cheesecake, and we had a great time together!
Best. Cheesecake. Ever.

Have a great Tuesday, y’all! More life updates here tomorrow!

The Sunday Social, Week 38

Sunday Social
Hey y’all!

Today, we are taking it back to middle school and high school! We want to know what you were like back in the day!

1. What was your biggest middle school fashion mistake?
Oh goodness…big poofy bangs, overall shorts, waaaaaay too much lime green. Good stuff!

2. Who were your best friends in high school? Pics?
Jessica and I have been friends since kindergarten, and I think middle school is when we really figured out that we couldn’t live without each other.

There was also Britni, Randa, Michelle, and we pretty much hung out every day. I was in color guard, so I got pretty close to a few of those girls too.

3. What was a typical weekend like for you in high school?
Jessica and I were usually at each other’s house, or the whole group would go to Randa’s house on Friday nights. We also went to Texas to go to the movies, shopping, or out to dinner. I was kind of a homebody, so I liked to spend a lot of weekends sleeping alllllll day Saturday :)

4. Did you have any boyfriends/girlfriends? Tell us about that.
I dated a guy off and on through most of high school. He was a really great guy, but we just weren’t right for each other.

5. Did you have any secret codes with your friends? Spill your secrets!
We did! In middle school, we had nicknames for each other and other people in our class. We really loved talking about people when they were right beside us, knowing they had no idea we were talking about them!

6. If you could relive one day/moment/experience from middle school or high school, what would it be?
It’s hard to pick just one! Getting picked as color guard captain was a pretty fantastic day!
It was something I really never imagined would happen, and I was so excited! Another fabulous day was going to see *NSYNC in concert with Jessica when we were 13!

Alrighty, it’s your turn! Answer the questions, grab our button, and link up with Neely and me!

The Sunday Social, Week 37

By 12 Comments

Sunday Social
Hey y’all!

Today is my birthday!

It would make my birthday absolutely wonderful if we could have our most link-ups in the history of Sunday Social! Think we can make it happen?

Today’s questions are all about Valentine’s Day.

1. What is the best Valentine’s Day you’ve ever had?
The guy I dated in high school always did sweet things for me on Valentine’s Day. One year, he gave me a sweet handmade card with a poem on it and also had flowers sent to me at school. It was super sweet!

2. What is the worst Valentine’s Day you’ve ever had?
I can’t think of a “bad” Valentine’s Day. I don’t normally do much of anything, but I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad Valentine’s Day!
3. What did you do for Valentine’s this year?
I ended up having to work late, so I came home and pretty much went straight to bed. Exciting stuff here, I tell ya!

4. What is your best Valentine’s idea if you’re single?
Several years ago, a group of girlfriends and I went to dinner and a movie together. We had sooooo much fun!

5. What is your favorite Valentine’s candy?
Chocolate. Any kind of chocolate! This year I had probably 500 Reeses hearts.

6. Favorite Valentine’s memory from your childhood?
Momma and Daddy always had balloons and fun stuff waiting for us when we got home from school! It was always so exciting!

Birthday Snow!

By 7 Comments

Hey y’all!
So…I have a birthday coming up. Sunday. The big 2-7. I have to admit, I’m feeling REEEEEEEEEALLY old . 25 was hard, 26 was great, but 27? I don’t know about this, y’all!
Anyway, nearly every year, we get our last snow of the season sometime during the week of my birthday. Tuesday, we got a beautiful big snow!

The snowflakes were soooooo big and pretty!
It didn’t take long for the whole parking lot to be covered!

Kendall and I went outside and played for a little while :)

It was such a pretty day!

Blogger Lip Sync v.2: No Scrubs

By 7 Comments

Hey y’all!
So…you remember our fun Blogger Merry Christmas Happy Holidays video, right? Well, it was so much fun that we did another one!

*Sorry for the not-so-nice word that appears in the song a couple of times. I don’t use that word, and I for sure didn’t sing it when I was recording my video! Just wanted to give y’all a little warning :)

Enjoy!
Big thanks to Sar for coming up with the awesome idea and for doing all of the editing! You’re awesome, girlie! Make sure you go check out all of the other fabulous bloggers in the video too!

Fun with Harlem Globetrotters

By 5 Comments

Hey y’all!
Saturday, Colby and I went with Wade, Joyce, the twins, the college kids, and C to see the Harlem Globetrotters! We had never seen them before, and it was SO MUCH FUN!
I adore these kiddos! Wish they would cooperate for pictures though!

Globie, the mascot

Introducing the players

The guy in white and black is one of our local radio DJs. Really cool that he got to play!

It was such a fun game! We loved getting to take C because he hasn’t ever experienced anything like that before! He got a basketball and had one of the players sign it. He had a great time, and it was fun getting to watch him!
If you ever have the chance to go see the Globetrotters, GO! They were very entertaining!
Don’t forget about Trendy Twitter Party tonight!
Have a great Tuesday, y’all!
