My Family

Dianna and I were married on September 15th, 1991.  
I am extremely grateful to be building life-memories with my lovely wife for nearly 25 years!

I have also been blessed with two beautiful daughters-Kayla and Katie.  A father's role at times is demanding and often challenging, but superseding these characteristics are the intrinsic rewards that come along with being a dad.

For nearly 13 years, we have been a family who loves Schnauzers!  At one time we had 3 of these crazy critters! Sadly though, we said good-bye to our oldest dog, Buffy, this past March. Now with only 2 Schnauzers, we often contemplate about adding another Schnauzer-addition to the Ashley house hold, but if or when that ever transpires, Tess and Lucy will continue to hold the key to all of our hearts!

And by the way, my entire family agrees with the saying: 
"Once a Schnauzer lover, ALWAYS a Schnauzer lover"!

I am so thankful to have been blessed with such a caring and loving family!  I value the time that we share together. 

Here are some more of our family's memories--created by love...

This picture was recently taken steps away from our home--
at the Fountain Park in Fountain Hills, AZ

My oldest daughter, Kayla is an ASU student studying Exercise and Wellness.
I am hoping she can inspire me to live a healthier lifestyle!

This past November, 2015--my youngest daughter, Katie, became a permanent member of God's Royal Family, by accepting Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior.

On July 11th, 2016, Katie, along with her mission team, will travel to California, Oregon, and Washington to serve people in need and share the good news of Jesus---God's Greatest gift to mankind!

This picture was taken this past July, 2015.  We cruised the Caribbean with my folks and my sister's family.  I didn't know it then, that this vacation would be the last time that I saw my mom alive.  I am so thankful that God gave our family this time together.

Our family moved to Fountain Hills, AZ in April of 2013.  Although we are just 8 miles from our old home in Scottsdale, Dianna and I are really enjoying living the small-town life!  

And by the way, if you are ever contemplating a move to a more simplified lifestyle, please allow me to show you around this great town!
