A few reasons why I love him...

He gets just as excited as Daddy does about going to Home Depot. Now I don't have to go anymore. =)




Because of that smile


Because he still chooses to "live with his parents." As his t-shirt states.


He helps Daddy out around the house. Again... so I don't have to! =)


Because he likes to hide things in weird places, including himself.


Because he feeds himself now. So we can ALL enjoy our meals together.




Because of these 12 teeth.

Monkey business

This year was pretty much the first year that we celebrated Halloween with Ashton. We dressed him up last year and walked around Downtown Disney (basically so he could wear his costume in a public place) but we didn't do any pumpkin carving or trick-or-treating. This year we did it all, and had tons of fun.

I think I like Ashton's the best! (right)

This year we decided he would dress up as our little Monkey. That's what Chuck and I like to call him, plus he LOVES bananas. His recent first word was "Na-nuh"

The kid still hates hats!

I loved the tail.
