The One when I remember how precious and small they were.

Time flies my friends so all of you with small children out there, cherish every moment. Take lots of pictures and capture your memories. I wish we lived in a digital/computer world when my girls came along.


Nicole Ashley 21 years old.
I got her name from a package that was wrongly delivered to my door. The name on the package was Ashley Nicole. I was young and it sounded pretty! I don't know why I switched it around.

Jessica Aline 18 years old.

We first named her Jessie for a boy but then changed it to Jessica when she came and we still call her Jessie. Her middle name is her Grandma Lakin's middle name.

Karlee Jean 16 years old.

We had no name picked out for her because we were holding out to see if she was a boy. I tentatively liked Jake. When she arrived my mom was with me and suggested Carly as in Carly Simon. I changed the spelling and Dave picked out her middle name. She was the first baby born in Corona in '94.

See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil...

One of their best Halloweens!

They were all Ballers! Cole and Jess still shoot around but Karlee switched to volleyball!

Hard to believe Nicole and Jessica are in college and Karlee is half way through high school. Yes friends... I am going to be a grandmother while your children are still in elementary school!
