Senior Model 2020 – Ashley

Ashley is a natural beauty inside and out! There are SO many awesome pictures of her it was hard to narrow them down. Ashley has an easy going personality and is lots of fun to be around.

In her free time, you might find her at home listening to Luke Combs or chasing around her golden retriever, Daisy. One of her favorite things to do is work out at the CrossFit. Anyone that stays dedicated to CrossFit is a very disciplined person!

She is inspired by her Dad because of his work ethic and drive. He gives her motivation to work hard and go after her goals which include studying nutritional science at Baylor. Ashley’s brother, Derek, is currently a Baylor student and the whole family are fans of the Bears. In addition, they love to cheer on the Dallas Stars. We are cheering for Ashley as she completes high school and moves into the next phase of life in Waco.

Bluebonnets – a Texas Tradition

“Where flowers blossom, so does hope.” ~ Lady Bird Johnson

Spring is just around the corner, and we are all patiently, (or in my case, not so patiently), awaiting her arrival. For Texan’s, the official announcement of spring will be broadcast by the spectacular Bluebonnets adorning our fields and roadsides. We’ve endured a wet winter, which should ensure massive amounts of bluebonnets to enjoy as the sun returns. Many Texas families have made a tradition of taking family pictures amongst the fields of blooms. If you haven’t joined in this fun Texas tradition, it’s never too late to start! 

 

 Bluebonnet Fun Facts:

In 1901, the bluebonnet was adopted as the state flower. 

In the 1930’s, the Highway Department began planting bluebonnets along state highways.

Texas was the first state in the nation to plant flowers along the highways.

Texas State Wildflower Day is celebrated every April 24.

Bluebonnets peak bloom season actually is May to July

There are actually five species of bluebonnet, and all are accepted as the state flower.

 

In the 1970’s, Lady Bird Johnson, encouraged all Texans to scatter wildflower seeds along the highways, resulting in the remarkable display of bluebonnets along our roadsides.

 

This is the year to join in the fun, and document Spring with this longstanding Texas tradition.
