I actually had quite a few fun ones! My favorite one was probably a bride!
Wasn’t it cute??
 
A few others I loved…

I don’t do scary movies. I prefer fun ones like Hocus Pocus :)

Weekend Update

By 5 Comments

Hey y’all!
 
Hope y’all had a great weekend!
 
I got to spend most of mine at home with my family. Saturday morning, I headed down south to spend some time with Momma and Daddy and to celebrate Sweet P’s birthday! I can’t believe she’s a year old already!
 
She had a cupcake party! Everything was decorated SO CUTE! I wish I’d taken more pictures, but I do have a few to share!
She is the most beautiful baby ever!

She LOVED her cake!

Love her!
 
Momma and Daddy’s cat Hershey has become obsessed with playing with ponytail holders! He likes digging them out of the bathroom drawer and carrying them off!

He’s such a funny little guy!
 
Oreo and Daddy took a little nap on Saturday afternoon :)
 
I helped Momma in the bible class she teaches at church on Sunday. She brought her camera so I could take pictures of her with her kiddos, and while we were waiting, I got a little bored…

Oopsie…
 
After church, we went to eat Mexican food with Mom-mom and Grandaddy!
Sunday after church

Me with Carol, the fantastic person who has been doing my hair my entire life! She worked on a SUNDAY to squeeze me in so we could get rid of my trashy dark roots :) She’s awesome, and I just love her!

My new hair! I love the new brown, and I love the new layers! So much fun!
It looks soooooo much better!
 
Have a great week, y’all!

Sunday Social
 
Hey y’all!
 
Today is 20 weeks of Sunday Social! Woo hoo!
 
I’m spending the weekend home with my family celebrating my best friend’s baby’s first birthday and her husband’s 30th birthday!
Cutest baby girl ever!
 
On to this week’s questions!
 
Deep Thoughts with Ashley and Neely
 
1. What do you value most in life?
My faith, my family, and my friends
 
2. What do you think is the greatest invention in your lifetime and why?
Cell phones, more specifically the iPhone. Mine seriously changed my life!

3. What do you think is the secret to a good life?
I think the secret to a good life is having a strong faith. I know that I could not have dealt with some of the difficult times in my life without God, and I’ve seen a lot of other people go through horrible things and still go on to lead happy lives because their faith got them through it.
4. What would you most like to be remembered for when you’re gone?
I would most like to be remembered as a faithful Christian, a great friend, and a person who deeply cared for other people.
5. What accomplishment in your life are you most proud of?
Graduating from college!

6. If a movie was made about your life, who would you want to play you?
Reese Witherspoon! I love her!

Happy Birthday Sweet P!

By 28 Comments

Hey y’all!
 
I can’t believe it, but my precious little Sweet P is a year old today! I can’t believe an entire year has passed since we were all gathered outside the hospital nursery waiting for her daddy to bring her out so we could see her!
It was the third time that I had done it, but seriously, holding your best friend’s brand new baby in your arms is the most amazing feeling in the world!

I prayed for so many years that a little girl would join this family. God answered my prayers in such a wonderful way!
Seriously, is there anything more perfect than a brand new baby?!

 
It has been so much fun having a girl in Jessica’s family! I love that I get to buy her girl clothes and headbands and sparkles and pinkness!
 
Isn’t she the most beautiful baby ever?

 
Happy Birthday, precious girl! 
Aunt Ashley loves you so much!


Ashley Lately

By 7 Comments

Hey y’all!
 
How’s it going? Seems like it’s been awhile since I’ve really been around here. I’ve been sick for the last week or so, and I just haven’t really felt like sitting in front of my computer to blog. I’m (sorta) feeling better, so here’s a little of what I’ve been up to lately!
 
Sarah came home over fall break, so she worked a couple of shifts with us!
We have all missed her so much, and it was so fun to have almost all of my girls at the shop at the same time!
 
Something about being together makes these girls so goofy!
I adore them!
 
Grammy and I went to see Les Miserables last week!
It’s Grammy’s favorite play! I’d never seen it before, and once she cleared up a little bit of my confusion, I really really enjoyed it!
 
I kept A and J, two of my favorite kiddos ever, a few nights ago! I love hanging out with them! They are always excited to see what craft I’m going to bring for them to do, and painting pumpkins is definitely one of their favorites!
 
 
 
Have y’all watched the new show Nashville? My friend Amy who lives in Nashville sent me this picture a few weeks ago. They are filming part of the show in a house across the street from hers!
 
Last week, we finally had days cold enough that I could have my first peppermint hot chocolate of fall! It was amaaaaaaazing!
 
Don’t forget about the auction for Julee and Preslee Turner! I’m auctioning off Vintage Pearl jewelry!
Check out the fab auction hosts for more items!
 
Alrighty, y’all. I’m out! Hope y’all have a great Tuesday!

The Sunday Social, Week 19

By 24 Comments

Sunday Social
 
Hey y’all!
 
Today is week 19 of Sunday Social! Woo hoo!
 
This week’s questions are all about books!
 
1. What is your favorite childhood book?
I really loved books as a kid, so it’s hard to pick one as a favorite off the top of my head. I do remember liking Love You Forever a lot though!

 
2. What is your favorite book lately?
Karen Kingsbury’s Loving was really good!
 
I also really loved Suri’s Burn Book :)

 
3. What is the book you wish you could live in?
I would like to live in one of Karen Kingsbury’s books about the Baxter family!

 
4. If you could be any character from a book, who would it be and why?
Same as the last question! I would want to be a character in one of Karen’s books!
 
5. What is your favorite book turned movie?
I don’t usually care for books that are made into movies. I feel like a lot of times the movie leaves out details or changes things too much. My favorite is probably A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks.
Yes, there are quite a few things that are different than the book, but I do really really love this movie! It’s also my favorite Nicholas Sparks book!

 
6. What is your favorite magazine?
I like a lot of them :) I subscribe to People and Glamour, but I also like Country Weekly and In Style.

The Sunday Social, Week 18

By 10 Comments

Sunday Social
 
Hey y’all!
 
Today’s Sunday Social is all about fall!
 
Now, if I’m being honest, I really don’t like fall. I know, I feel like I’m the only person in the world that doesn’t look forward to fall, but I don’t! I hate being cold, and fall is just the beginning of a few loooong cooooold months.
 
Neely absolutely loves fall, so just for her, I will try to pick out a few things that I actually like about fall :)
 
1. Football!
I absolutely love football! NFL, College, doesn’t matter. I just love the game of football! My favorite college team is the OU Sooners, and my favorite NFL team is the Dallas Cowboys!
I love hanging out at Wade and Joyce’s out with the group on Saturdays to watch OU or laying on their couch on Sunday afternoons to watch the Cowboys play.
 
2. Starbucks Peppermint Hot Chocolate
Finally, it is socially acceptable for me to drink peppermint hot chocolate from Starbucks! I haven’t had one yet this fall, but I’m thinking it may be the perfect way to start Monday morning!
 
3. Halloween
I love dressing up for Halloween! My church back home always has a big party, so I love going back home for the party!
Uh, yeah, that happened last year…
 
4. Thanksgiving
My family has a really big Thanksgiving every year! The last couple of years, it has been the only time we’ve gotten to see some of our cousins, so I can’t wait to see them in a few weeks!
Miss these girls!
 
Alrighty y’all, that’s all I’ve got! Now it’s your turn! Grab our button, tell us your favorite fall things, and link up with Neely and me!
