Cousin Harrison

Harrison came to stay with us all the way from Georgia for an evening. His mom Amber came out for a quick trip and we got to watch him for a couple hours. It was so much fun!
Ashton and Harrison are about 6 months apart. Jonathan's only brother Stephen is
Harrison's daddy so it makes it extra fun that A and H are close in age. We just wish they lived close by each other always. The two of them are adorable together.
We went out to eat with Amber and sat the two boys next to each other, they shared toys with each other and held hands while they just giggled.
Then on the drive home I had the two boys in my car, and would hear giggling. I'd look back and they were holding hands again. I really wish I had a camera for that.
Maybe someday they'll go to BYU together and be roommates.
Then, they'll be holding girls hands and giggling about it to each other later.

Harrison giving his Uncle Jonathan a kiss

Harrison is a VERY happy baby!

Ashton definitely thought Harrison's carseat was more fun than his own

All Ashton wanted to do was kiss on Harrison. He just hasn't learned how to be soft
but Harrison was a good sport about it.


We love our cousin Harrison! It was so fun to play with him.
Wish we could see him and all our Snow cousin's more often than we do.

Big boy turns ONE!!

I am so big. I am ONE!

Ashton is so big he does lots of big boy stuff.
He...
Says lots of words like,
Mama
Dada

uh oh
car
balloon
ball
Moo
trying to figure out "cockadoodledoo"
drink
bye
Grandma
Tai (his cousin)
And starting to figure out lots of others

Ashton is the happiest baby!
He loves his daddy
He never cries unless he's hungry or tired
He is happy all the time
Has the BEST laugh
He's a tease and knows it
He loves to give hugs and kisses and Mommy can't get enough of them!
Loves playing with toys and cousins
Loves to walk with daddy (almost run)
Stands up all on his own and stays up for a long time.
We are very proud of all that Ashton is doing everyday. He has blessed our lives more than we ever thought possible. What a sweet spirit we have!!


Yesterday and we had a little party for him with my family.
We missed all our Snow family!!
They live too far away to come, but we got lots of LOVE, calls, presents and cards.
This was quite the day for Ashton. He wasn't feeling too good, didn't get a nap and then hurt himself too many times to count... which is the norm for this guy.
But, by the time everyone showed up he was ready to go and even got into opening presents, he loved everything, but most especially the wrapping paper. Go figure.
Then it was time to blow out the candle and our little guy decided to put it out with his hand.
OUCH!
After we calmed him down a bit we tried it again. I had to get my picture of him blowing it out. He absolutely hated it the second we started singing "Happy Birthday" again.
So, We stopped and let him get to the cake on his own time. When he finally did, He LOVED it!
He even decided to share with Mommy, Daddy AND Uncle Lance.
What a polite boy we have!
We played with all our toys and had a blast. Then off to bed to start his new year.

Happy Birthday Ashton Boy
We Love you!

Ashton loves his pumpkin so much. We tried to take it to pay and he held on for dear life.
Now he holds it in his car seat wherever we go :)

We're getting excited for Halloween!

10 months and loving it

Ashton is a very active boy. He loves his new found mobility with crawling and climbing.
His head has taken a few beatings but he just can't slow down

Just lounging around

Georgia on my mind

The end of August we were able to go visit Jonathan's family in Georgia.
We had a blast. It was great to spend time with the family.
We always had something fun going on

Dance OFF!

Copper was a very patient dog

Jonathan's entire family

ALL the cousins
It was fun for Ashton to finally meet all his Snow cousins.

Stone Mountain.
So much fun. They put on a lazer show with music up against the mountain
Great summer time activity!

Lots of fun playing in the water.

Ashton has lots of boy cousins

Ashton and Harrison

Big trouble

Ashton has just learned to crawl and he's letting me know
how much work it's going to be for me. He crawled right to the baskets of videos and stuff we have in the few seconds I was out of the room. When I came back in,
this is what he looked like.

This is his "got caught" face. I love this little man!

strummin around with dad

9 months old

Ashton is such a fun little guy! He is now army crawling and has two teeth.

This is a face he makes often now. He looks at us like, "What are you thinking?"
