Ashley AARP

 Today was Ashley's FIFTIETH (50) birthday.  She's filled out her AARP application and has her Amazon account to auto-reorder her hair-dye which is shipped in by the crate :-)  To celebrate, we went water-skiing, and everyone agreed Ashley was the hottest-looking 50-year old on the lake.  As always, we took a lot of pictures.  First, here's a nice one of Bode--little man is looking so grown up these days.

We even got him to pose for a picture with his mother.

Bode took the first run of the day.  He didn't do any slaloming; he said he wanted to work on his wake-crossing.  First, some pictures.

Next is a movie of the little man coming by the dock.

Next, we have Ashley starting on one of her runs.

She did quite well and looked awesome zooming around the lake.

We did get a good movie of Ashley drinking some lake water.

Afterwards, I took a picture of me and Ashley on her big day.

I wake-boarded as well, but I think all the pictures are on Ashley's phone.  I'll try to get some and post at a later date.  When we got home, we feasted on more turkey and ham, and then we did the obligatory singing of Happy Birthday after having paid the appropriate royalties to the Jackson estate.  Note the lovely cake that Bode and I baked.

We'll finish this birthday post with a picture of my two favorite people.

Tomorrow, Bode becomes an official teenager.  God help us :-)
