Ashton's First Ride!

So our boy got his set of wheels this last week. It is a walker/bouncer that I have been waiting to get forever. Ashton got it from Nana, Pam, and Beck. When we first started looking at baby stuff I saw this and told Mindy if it was a boy we had to get it! So I was way excited when my family gave it to us for a shower gift. The only bad thing is, is that Mindy and I don't really have height genes to pass on, as you might know. So our son is a little on the short side so he cannot touch the ground when he is in it. So his face rest on the steering wheel, which has a horn and other buttons on it that make sounds. So Ashton will honk the horn and play other music with his face. Mindy and I just watched and laughed!

Zoo Adventure!

Ashton had a zoo adventure this last Saturday for cousin Hailey's birthday. He did pretty good still kinda young to really enjoy it. But there was a little cage full of mini monkey things that he really enjoyed. They were really active running all over there cage so they caught his attention. Man it is so crazy to think that lil Hailey is six years old. She has grown up so fast. It's crazy to



think of what all has happened in my life since she's been born but still be shocked she's six. She was and always will be a blessing in all of the Thomas' families lives. We were all so excited to have a little baby in the family and now a little girl. We love our Hailey!

FOOD!!!

Well Ashton had his first taste of food in April. We started with rice cereal and he had a hard time swallowing it as you can see in the picture! Then he had bananas, and his latest was squash. It's so funny because Mindy and I always are excited to see his crazy reaction. So we get the camera out and gather round to feed him. Pretty much everytime he gets some food in his mouth he just looks at us like what is this then starts chowing down! Mindy and I laugh because what do we expect our boy is an eater we should expect nothing less! He's the cutest little boy and we love him!!!

Fight Night!

The boy was exposed to his first fight night last month and he loved it! He was able to visit with his good friends Matt and Amanda and sit back and enjoy the fight. He really does like when he gets company just more people to watch and comment on his every move. Matt and I had a sweet "man" day we played some golf during the day then followed it up with a BBQ and a fight. Could it be any better then that. I'm sure Mindy could think of some things!

Game on... Eh!

We had an awesome weekend! We took the boy to his first hockey game. We had been running around all day so he was pretty wore out. We went to eat before the game, and he was pretty fussy. So we were scared for how he'd be there. Well as soon as we got there he was just so intrigued by all that was going on he didn't fuss. But a little into the first period he started to doze off. That didn't last long because the Grizz scored and the big horn went off and startled the poor kid. But as for the game it was sweet it had everything you want in a hockey game including a overtime win for the home team!

Blessing

Ashton had got blessed on March 30, 2008 it was awesome. It was such a spiritual experience for the family. I was able to bless him and it was so cool to hold my little son in my arms and to get a glimpse of his life. He is such a great addition for Mindy and me. We love him so much and it was great to see all our loved ones that were able to make it. To me looking around and feeling the spirit with family and friends really gave me a glimpse of what heaven will feel like.

Easter Fun!

Well we just had Easter at Nana and Pop's house and it was great. It is so nice to be able to spend special time with the family we love. Not only was just The Fam there but also Cousins Jim, Bob, and Cathy. We had a blast. We also were able to get these way cute pictures of Ashton and his cousin Molly! Its so much fun having them so close in age. Also our little one Ashton hit his three months mark! It seems like everyday he's getting bigger and bigger. Also he is getting to be so much fun. Mindy and I can just sit and play with him all day long. Its funny that he can't even talk but he's so entertaining. Well I hope all of you had a good Easter.
