Look what my mom did.....

OK so I've been asking Ruben if I could put a few highlights in Ashton's hair and of course he told me NO...  I asked a few more times and got the same answer.  I left it alone until one night Ashton and I were home alone with nothing to do.  I text Ruben again and asked if I promised to only do a few and cut his hair in a week, could I put some highlights in?  He finally said YES........  I immediately got to work.  Got Ashton something to eat and we were set.  Ashton was really good until he started getting tired.  He wanted to lay his head back on the chair and I was like sorry buddy its to late to turn back now.  It took us about an hour and we were finished.  Ashton's favorite part --- the shampoo bowl.......  He loves getting his hair washed.   I know I put more then a few highlights in but I had to make it look good.......  Ruben came home and of course loved his hair.  So will we cut it???  Probably not..  I love Ashton and I love his cute hair!!!!! 

Brace Face....

I took Taryn to his 1st ortho appt. 

and just had to take a picture.   When they called his name to come back Ashton was right behind.  There was no way he was leaving before he knew what was going to happen. 

He is so cute.  We love you Taryn.......

Last Week at the Cabin

Ashton looks like a giant next to these girls.....  He is the youngest one and looks older then all of them.  String cheese is a must at the cabin.  Its about the only food we have that is good for us....... ha ha  

ASHTON is so cute.......  What can I say?

WOW.... Was this Yours??

I asked Ruben for a lawn chair and a lawn chair is what I got.....  This is what its like to live in a neighborhood where we all love each other so much that we share  furniture..

On the Way to the Cabin......

Ashton and I rode to the cabin with Gandpa Bob and Mckenna on Thursday morning.  We were so lucky to get to stop in Post Falls and take Kylee and Josh to get ice cream.  They didn't know we were coming so it was pretty exciting.  Ashton was the most excited by far.  It was all he could talk about was seeing HIS brother and sister.  We went to McD's and the kids all played in the play land , ate chicken nuggets (of course), and had chocolate dipped ice cream cones.  Grandpa was ready to go before we got there so we didn't stay very long (but i am very  appreciative for the time i got, thanks grandpa!!!!)..........  Kylee and Joshua are doing good.  They seem to grow so much over the summer I just can't believe.....  I Love Them Both Very Much and Can't Wait To See Them on The 30th...................

Tony's New Toy!!

FUN, FUN, FUN...........

   

Baby Kylie's Birthday Party

There is nothing better then eating birthday cake....

(especially with your fingers)

Cabin Pictures

We went to the cabin for memorial day weekend and had so much fun.  We tried going to the falls for a little hike and didn't make it because there was to much snow on the road.  Blair got his car stuck so we decided to turn around.  We came back down and found a nice little hike not very far from the cabin.  The kids loved it and everyone found there own "walking sticks".  Ashton was begging to go for a ride on the jet ski so Taryn finely gave in and took him to the store to get a treat.  He made it to the store, ate his treat and on the ride back feel asleep.  Taryn had to hold him all the way back.  Im sure it helped in making his arm muscles even bigger.  We love Taryn !!!!  Everybody loves going to the cabin.  It is so pretty and we have lots of family time when we are up there.  Playing cards is our favorite though, I have to say its not nearly as fun without Jack.  He was and will always be the card player.  We have many memories going to Priest Lake and will always charish all the late night games.   We can never get enough of that place.  Thanks so much to Grandpa and Grandma for letting us go....:)

Josh Loves Reading to Ashton.......

Kylee and Josh are gone for about 2 weeks and Ashton is missing them like crazy.  Josh and Kylee have been the one's reading to Ashton every night since he started sleeping in his BIG BOY BED.  It works really good for us because he gets right in his bed and pretty much stays there while he enjoys listening to them read.  Oh yah I almost forgot the part when Josh sings him "I am a Child of God" every night too.  Ashton is very lucky to have Ky and Josh around.  He gets very lonely in the summer when they are gone....

Our First Day of Summer.....

Today we thought we would go to Mary's and swim.  Ashton was really excited to go, got his bathing suit and made sure I had mine.  There was no way he was going in the pool without me....  He was little scared at first but Im sure that will go away with time (like tomorrow when we go back)  He did jump off the diving board twice and then he was ready to get.  We went home, took atlittle nap and as soon as he woke up he was ready to go again.  This time his dad showed up and when he jumped into the pool and made a BIG splash, Ashton got very excited. That was the coolest thing in the world.  He stood on the side of the pool and jumped up and down for him........  

Today is the Day!!!

I never thought in a million years I would want to blog but after looking at my family's I have gotten very curious.  I'm not saying its going to be good but I'm going to give it a shot.  Please no laughing and I'll take any tips I can get....
