Birthday Boy

Our little baby is now officially a "toddler," according to the weekly email I get from babycenter.com. We had a lot of fun celebrating his first birthday. We had to wait a few weeks before we could really celebrate because the move fell right in the middle of his birthday week, but we figured he would never know the difference. And he didn't.


These next few pictures are from his actual birthday. Auntie Jeanette was nice enough to make him a cake so we could have a simple "pizza and cake" family party on July 1st. I really like this picture of Ashton and Jacob. All of his cousins are so sweet with him and he loves to be around them.

...except for Spencer. He would rather sleep on the floor. haha





Here he is enjoying his super awesome wagon from Uncle Tim.


Party pics...
Ash and Dad grubbin' on some cake.
"Do you want a taste Aunt Sharon?"


This is why he is in his diaper for the rest of the pictures. I brought extra clothes, but the boy would rather be crawling around in his diaper.
"ooooh bubbles..."
Christine and Caden. (her friends son)
"ooooh is this for me?!?"
I know I seem more excited about this present than Ashton, but I just love this toy!! I would always play with it at Jeanette's house and now Ashton loves chasing the balls around and putting them back down the shoot.
For some reason, he doesn't like how grass, or sand, feel on his knees. So he does the "crab walk" whenever he's on the grass. Crazy boy.
Hanging with some Fraleys.
He kept popping balloons and laughing afterwards. We kept waiting for him to freak out, but he would just giggle.
His super cute bear that my Aunt Carol made for him.
He loves his piano!!
Daddy and Mommy with the tired birthday boy, post party.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHTON!! CHEESE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHTON, YOU ARE ONE HURRAY!!!!!!!!!!
Love the bear with his name on it. That will be with him for a long while. He will probably give to his kids when he gets older.
The picture of him with his cousin Jacob has Chuck's look written all
over him.
