Beck Staying at our House.........

Ashton and Beck playing with blocks

Beck Painting

Beck got to stay at our house for 4 days while his mom and dad went on a little trip.  He came on Wednesday and stayed til Saturday night.  Beck came to preschool with Ashton on Thursday and man did they have fun.  Beck was right at home, you wouldn't even know he had never been to that preschool.  They had lots of fun playing with the blocks, airplanes, painting, and swinging out side.  They both wanted under-dogs the entire time.  

Wednesday night we took everyone and headed to the fair.  We took them on 4 rides and they wanted more.  We walked to every animal they had there.  I think there favorite was the horses.  They both got to sit on one so they keep telling me to go back for another ride....  Between all of us we ate 2 nachos, pizza, 2 spoon tacos, 2 corn dogs, 2 large pops, 2 cotton candy, pig ears, and some ice cream.......  Wow it was good too.......  

Friday Ashton and Beck played outside on the Ashton Acres.  Those boys jumped and played with cats all day.  They love walking back and forth to grandma's house.  I think they think they are pretty big boys walking back and forth by themselves.  Friday night Ruben, Kylee, Josh and I went to Pullman to the play "Fiddler on the Roof".  Ashton and Beck got to stay and play at Grandma's.  The play was awesome and our kids loved it.  They had the whole thing memorized..

Saturday was another play day here at the house.  We went back to the fair about 6:00pm to eat dinner and go to the rodeo.  We took one more trip around the animals and then got some dinner.  Beck got picked up right before the rodeo so its was just our family.  Ashton was excited the entire time.  He loved watching the cows and horses.  We had tons of fun......

We had a very fun time with Beck and miss him now that he is gone.  Thanks for letting us enjoy him Korbi....  It was nice for  Ashton to have someone to have to share his stuff with........

I'm Back.....

Last Tuesday night about 1:00am, Ashton started coughing.  I got up to get him a drink of water and by the time I came back it was more like he was choking.  I ran him into the bathroom cause I really didn't want him to throw-up in my bed but it wasn't getting better.  He then started to have a hard time catching his breath.  I started to panic and woke my mom up (they got to stay with us for about 4 days while they were waiting for there house to be done).  She told me to take him outside because they cold air is suppose to be good for them.  It didn't help and Ashton was really gasping for air.  We both went to get dressed so we could take him in town and my dad (yes he was up panicking too) was trying to get him to breath through his nose but that didn't work either.  We rushed him into the hospital were they instantly gave him a breathing treatment and had the doctor right in to see us.  The doctor said it was croup.  He was getting about 90% of the air he should have which really surprised me because he was having a really hard time.  After the breathing treatment they gave him some sort of a steroid shot and all that did was get him all worked up again so they had to give him another breathing treatment.  After it was all said and done we (my mom and i) spent most of the night in the hospital.  When we got home I laid Ashton in bed and when I came back he was asleep with his arm around Josh.  It made me so thankful that my kids have each other......  How Ashton loves his brother and sister..

Oh yeah and I can't seem to find a background that I like so you might see alot of changing.....

Still no pictures.....

Sorry about the boring blog.  I lost my battery charger to my camera so I have been kinda lost.  I was over helping my mom on Saturday at her new house and you'll never believe what I found on her floor????  My battery charger......  She brought it back from the cabin after our reunion but forgot to find the owner til I saw it sitting there......  I was so happy to have it, I took it home and got my battery all charged up only to see my camera go bye-bye in the car with the bikers......  Ruben went on his yearly bike trip with my bothers and took the camera.  I tried telling him how important it was that I keep it so that i can update my blog but...........  he didn't care.  Anyways, that's my story and I hope to get up and running on more blogging soon so that Korbi will leave me alone.... (love you korbi)...  

"Ashton Family Reunion"

CABIN! CABIN!  WE LOVE THE CABIN!!!!

Sadie, Ashton and Mckenna having lots of fun on the dock...

Ariana, Kylee and Ashlie Castillo getting in the hot tub after jumping in the cold lake.  I have to say, I think this was one of the best parts about swimming.  The kids loved swimming in the cold water and then running up to the hot tub.  

  Jocelyn, Baby Kylie, Sadie, Ellie, Tess, and Avery.  

These girls are having one of many movie parties... 

HOT TUB PARTY!!!!

Carsten, Kylee, Jocelyn, Avery, Tess, Ariana,  Ashlie, Baby Kylie and Sadie.....

We all had so much fun at the cabin.  There was about 40 of us total staying in one cabin.  We ate lots of food, drank lots of pop, played cards, sang lots of song together, swam, fished, hiked, went to the rock slide, kids loved driving the jet ski, lots of jumping off the end of the dock, camp fires, roasted marshmallows,  kids got to scrapbook, and most of all just playing with the family.  Thanks so much to Grandma Ann and Bobby Boy for making it possible for us to have a week to spend with each other.  We Love You Guys.......

THE BIG #3!!!

Ashton and Beck  --Cabin 2008--

Ashton and Beck are pretty good buddies...  Ashton is the one with the silly goggles and hat on backwards.  They got to ride on top of the razor for a little bit of our hike to the water-slide.

Ashton's favorite thing to eat this summer........  corn on the cob.

So here he is right before he goes to bed.  I told him I wanted a picture of his HUGE muscles and this is what he did.  Big muscles but notice he still has that BINKY.  We have taken that thing away about 20 times and some how he always seems to get it back.  

24th of July Celebration!

Isn't this cute....  Ashton giving Ellie a hug when it looks like she really doesn't want one......

Ashton and Ariana

                         Kylie and Ashton

These are a few of the pictures from the 24th.  We all got together as a Stake activity here in Othello at the fair grounds.  We ate lots of yummy food, Ashton played lots of games and then they had some fun entertainment to watch.  Ashton's favorite part was playing games because he would get a prize afterwards.......
