Happy 5th Birthday, Ashton!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ASHTON!

Over the weekend we had a small party for Ashton, and he had a blast playing with his cousins!  The kids loved the castle bouncy and gobbled-up cake and ice cream. 

This morning, he woke-up at 5:15 and was ready for a great day!  He feel back to sleep on the couch with "George" and when I woke him back up at 7:30, he was groggy but ready to go to preschool for his birthday party with his classmates.  This evening, his Aunt BoBo came over and they played boardgames.  One of his new games is "Captain Joe's Jet Plane" - it is basically an updated "Operation" from years gone by.  Ashton turns the buzzer off because he says, "This game likes to be the boss of me!"  We had to laugh.  I can't believe my baby is 5 years old!

Happy Belated 4th Birthday, Ashton

Happy 4th (Belated) Birthday, Ashton!

Things have been pretty crazy around our house and I just realized that I forgot to wish Ashton happy birthday on the blog! He turned 4 on October 13th! We had a family birthday party on Sept. 27 so Leigh could join us before leaving for OCS. He also had a birthday party at school on Friday, October 10th. On his actual birthday, Jason and I took the day off from work and we spent the day doing fun stuff. He is fascinated with the "Justice League" and especially Batman and Superman.

Here are pictures from his family birthday party at our home:

On his actual birthday, I completed the preregistration forms for a local school and then we headed to The Discovery House and then Demos' for lunch. It was so weird walking into the school building because I can't believe he is actually old enough to start thinking about kindergarten. Because his birthday is late in the year, he won't actually start until Fall 2010, but still....my baby is growing up!
