What a Week!
Hi Ya'll! Wow, what a week I have had. As my mommy and daddy look back over it they stand in awe of all that God has done and is doing in my life. They really threw as some curve balls(good enough that my brother would be impressed with their arm!), but my Father has been faithful and I know He will continue to be.
In case you haven't heard my daddy is here and that makes me SMILE. I love this guy! As I snuggled in close to him, I heard his voice and smelt his yummy cologne and all of a sudden I decided to wake up and play. Thats all it took for me to snap out of whats been holding on to me over the last couple of weeks. Well, it was that and a whole lot of prayers from all of you. I could not be doing all of this without all of you. I love you guys and I can't wait to meet you some day if not in Texas then for sure in Heaven!
If you look at me in person or on paper this morning you would never guess that some really ugly things are inside of me trying to take me away from my mommy and daddy. I decided I am going to do all that I can to keep it from getting me. If I can slay giants left and right for the last 18 months then I can surely chew this "weenie of a cancer" up and spit it out! Rex, I'm going to invite you to my cook out celebration so you can help me "roast" a few in honor of beating this.
This afternoon my mommy and daddy have a conference with the doctors to decide just what I have to go through to get out of here and back home to Texas. I heard some really scary things during rounds this morning, but I know that God has bigger things is store for me than all of this. I just have to keep doing my part, my mommy and my daddy have to stay on their knees, and if you are willing to stay on yours in prayer for me then I think I can beat this thing.
I prepared a little something to show you all how much I've grown and just how very blessed I am. Hope you enjoy. Love, Ashley

Aww...she is sooo beautiful and sooo sweet! I will also be on my knees praying for you dear little baby! God is watching over you!
Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!! She is a cutie pie. I know she is Daddy's little Valentine.
Praying for a wonderful conference experience. May you(parents), and doctors be filled with a renewed spirit on what is to take place next. God will be present in this meeting and HE will guide everyone through what is best for Ashley.
Pictures! Beautiful pictures! What wonderful news to hear that Ashley is doing better today. I am sure Trish is feeling a little better also! My prayers are with you as you make decisions today as to what is best for your Ashley. Trust in the Lord. He will direct your path.
Ashley you are a beautiful and very strong little lady. We are praying for a good report today. He is the God of miracles. Nothing, especially a "weenie cancer", is bigger than Him. My twin 3 year old boys love praying for "baby Ashley". Your amazing little girl has touched so many lives. May God continue to bless you with miracles.

Little angel you are getting so very big! You can fight that weenie mean ole cancer and we all are going to help you! We all are on our knees for you sweetheart! You be strong for your Mommy and Daddy and fight.....fight........fight! We're still praying for you all here in Alabama! Special prayers are with you (Trish and Dave) today as you are in conference with the docs. BE strong!
You are absolutely gorgeous Princess Ashley! We are all Praying for you little Gherkin to have a great weekend with Daddy. dont let what the doctors said scare you... God is so much bigger than those nasty words and he CAN pull you through,,KEEP FIGHTING.. I am ready to meet you--I dont want to wait for Heaven, I want to see you here in Longveiw where you belong. Trish have a safe trip and tell Allie good luck!
I'm so glad she is enjoying your visit Dave. Every once in a while, a girl just needs a Prince Charming to come along and make things better. And these are the famous "bunny slippers"!
We'll be praying for you this afternoon during your conference.
Oh my goodness! What adorable pictures of your little princess! It's so good to see her cuteness after all the yucky things that have been going on! I'm praying for wisdom over your conference with the doctors this afternoon, and for a wonderful weekend for you all! Love and blessings!
The little princess wanted her prince to come and he did! What a darling baby you have there! Prayers...
How very precious Ashley is! Quite the beauty! Thank you for sharing that from Ashley's viewpoint! (((hugs))) and prayers sent your way! ~Chandria~
That's right, Ashley, God is the BIGGEST! Just like Larry and Bob sing in the Veggie Tales ...
"God is bigger than the boogie man. He's bigger than godzilla or the monsters on tv! Oh, God is bigger than the boogie man, and He's watching out for YOU and me!"
That's one of my girls' favorite songs, and we sing it especially loud for you today, Ashley! Praying for your whole family ... mommy, daddy, Blake, Allie, your medical crew, and everyone who touches your great big life! Sending love from Kansas!
SO PRECIOUS! Praying more and harder! :) Loving you guys from Tennessee!!!!
As I read what Dave shared in the last post I could not help but parallel it to our Heavenly Father. Circumstances sometimes cause us to scream (or at least want to) and yet He is right there ready to spend time with his children...to catch our eye with the glimmer of His presence. And when we recognize it, when we realize He is there, everything changes.
Continuing to pray for Ashley and your entire family.
Thank you for the pictures...she doesn't look like a sick baby...so I am praying believing that God is still working on performing miracles in her little body. May God bless the conference today with the doctors and I also will be praying for your time in Texas.
Thank you for the sweet pictures! I can't wait for my daughter who is 4 to see them. We've watched the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star video so much and she loves it! She prays for Ashley everyday as if she has known her her entire life. You are all in our prayers!
Because He lives we CAN face tomorrow!
God Bless!

Oh Ashley, you're so precious...and so stylish!! But why would that surprise me? ;) I'll be thinking about all of you and hoping you get some answers and figure out a plan at your care conference today. I'll see you tomorrow night!!!
Shes so beautiful! Way to go on full feeds, and ilove the bunny slippers. Im praying for you.
It was so good to hear from you Ashley! I feel the same about my daddy and I am 53 years old! Sometimes a little girl just needs her Daddy to "fix" the bad things. How do you like listening to his voice through his chest while you rest your head there? That is safety and security, huh? We need to watch out here, Ash...Mommy will wonder if we have forgotten the sweetest voice and touch in the world with all this 'daddy' talk we are doing. We always need Mommy. That is a 'given', isn't it?
Love you little girl,
Jan
This was so awesome to read. Please know we'll be praying for Ashley and rooting for her. Nothing is too difficult for God!!!
We love you Ashley Kate. Have lots of fun with Daddy. It was so great to see your pictures!!!
Ashley, you are a brave little girl. My 2 year old son and I are praying for you each night as part of our bedtime routine. We hope that you get better very soon and that you get to go back home to TX soon too!
I love your pictures. You're beautiful!
Thanks for sharing the sweet pictures!! Ashley is precious!! Ashley, I'm going to keep on praying for you. Keep your fighting spirit! God loves you sooo much and has a plan for you!
Pictures are so neat! I feel like i can just reach out and hold her and her cute little bunny slippers! :) I know that with God's help she can beat this thing, just as she has done before. thank God for full feeds, and good doctors. Praying for a very sweet and loved little girl!
