Ashton the dancer

Ashton loves to dance to music, it is so funny to watch him. Guess he got his rhythm from his momma.

Fun in NOLA with Ma and Pa

New Orleans from the Riverwalk

Bourbon Street. I was surprised Dad wanted a pic here.




On my parents last day in Louisiana, we went to New Orleans and checked out the French Quarter and made sure to wear out my parents so they could sleep on their plane ride.

Ashton's first birthday

This is a little after the fact, but we're all pretty well settled in and have a few minutes to update our deprived blog. We held Ashton's birthday party at Todd's parents house in IF. Did the whole traditional thing of letting him feed his cake to himself. It was really fun to watch him take his first bite and the instant sugar fiend we made him.
His party then turned into the Blair and Ashton farewell party and we had a family pic. The next day we drove to Ogden to stay at my sister Heidi's place where Ashton ate most of Uncle Ron's grapes.

We've been super busy with work and Ashton, we've hardly had the time to check this let alone write something. We have a few pics of Ashton we wanted to share since he is pretty dang adorable. We had our first Easter with him and had fun with an egg hunt and Blair made an awesome bunny cake too. Ashton had so much fun, he fell asleep swinging. He also wanted to show he has way too much fun with his cousin Zach. Lastly, he was having so much fun in his bath his little feet got all wrinkled up.

Merry Christmas

I wanted to put an exclamation marker on the title but the stupid cat spilt water on the keyboard and now that button doesn't work...
Christmas was really fun, Ashton obviously had no idea what was going on, but he humored us anyway. We spent Christmas eve at my parents house, all of my siblings were there along with some cousins. Ashton was quite the ham, smiling when needed in front of the right people.
We spent Christmas morning at home and opened our gifts. I got Blair a Silver bracelet from Pittsburgh and I got a very nice assortment of clothes and Grandma Dicey got us a surround sound system. We had lunch with our very nice neighbors the Johnson's. They have five extremely funny kids that always make you smile. The rest of the day was spent with some needed R&R.
Being home from Pittsburgh has been very nice, no manual labor and no wet concrete in sight.

Ashton's Baby Blessing

September 7 Ashton was blessed by his Daddy and other special men in our lives. Here are some pictures!

Ashton's just a growing like crazy. He had a bout with jaundice and k.o'd that schtuff! It was funny to see him be a glow worm but it was a huge inconvenience. We are busily trying to figure out the next step with work and such. But thats the boring stuff. Ashton had a fun visit today from his cousin Taylor. It's really cool to see an 8 month old excited to see another baby.
