Happy Birthday to Wonder Woman!

Hey Ash!
Here's to 30 smashing years. Elsa in the pic here hopes that your birthday meal turns out to be a lot tastier than hers. I strongly believe that year 30 will result in nothing lost - only more 'wonder' gained to heighten your wonder woman status! I will forever admire your ability to handle pressure, challenges, and adventures with the paradoxical combination of toughness and grace. Here's to you! Happy Birthday!
Love,
All the Christensens

Happy Birthday!

I just wanted to say that no one knows better than I do what a SUPER supermom Ashley is. After spending two weeks traveling with her and Anthony and their three little ones all over various parts of Europe I was totally amazed! They have this traveling thing (with THREE kids under three no less) down to a science. Ashley had books, treats, movies, songs, and stories (oh and ask her sometime to sing the Bear in the Cave song she created in two seconds sometime!) and kept all three happy campers all during the traveling hours. At night they were all three in bed and out like lights by 9:00 (well, most nights anyway)! I just wanted to say THANKS and Happy Birthday to the greatest Mom and Daughter-in-law in the world.

Love,

Grandma Drake

Happy Birthday Ashley!

To The Sweetest...

Happy Birthday Ashley! Even in the short time we crossed paths with you in our BYU married student ward, we just adored you and your husband. The phrase "not a mean bone in her body" was coined for people like you. I hope you have a good one and enjoy the new gray hairs.

love,
Nicole and Barrett

Happy 30th from Anthony, Brooke, Andrew, and Matthew!

I’ve been lucky enough to celebrate the last 8 years with you.

The torpedo, twins arrive, Brookes first tanning session, much needed nap time,

baby blessing, summer in Rockridge, back to Evanston (andour window), 1-yr B-day,
