Take me fishing...


The boy had his first fishing trip and definately not his last, He loved it. We went up to a pond in Syracuse with Matt and Amanda. The sad thing is we got skunked! But it was alot of fun. But I was not prepared it got really cold and I had just worn my t shirt and shorts. Mostly because Mindy didn't bring a sweatshirt for me! But Ashton was just so content sitting around the pond.

Food and Sleep!



This is how we found the boy after his late night meal, He is so dang cute. When I saw him like this I had to get a picture! Sometimes his bottles just put him right to sleep. He has started to crawl and roll all over and its so funny because if he finds a bottle anywhere he'll grab it and try to start chuggin! He's been so much fun for Mindy and I and we have loved seeing his personality grow and grow. He is the best!

Bear Lake!!!


So its been some time since we updated the blog.... I sorry! Anywho we went to the Dimond reunion at Bear Lake and had a blast, although Mindy and I only were there Saturday night til Monday afternoon. Work stinks! But we had so much fun. We took the ole boat around the lake and had a blast. Even Backy and Mindy went for a wild tube ride! Although Mindy got somewaht injured and me being the driver was not able to live that down for some time. Ashton love the boat, it puts him right to sleep. Ha ha.

Pool Party!


For the Twenty Fourth of July Mindy's Aunt T invited us over for a BBQ and a swim. I of course enjoyed the food. Especially when Troy fed me marshmallow and chocolate ( no better combination of food in the world). Also Ashton loved the pool. When we went to Bear Lake we thought he'd love the pool, while he liked it it wasn't as much as we thought. But as soon as he got in the pool this time he just started splashing all over! He loved it, unless you splashed on him, He was fine splashing on himself but would give you some hardcore stink eye if you splashed him. After the swimming Ashton had his first firework show. He just sat there and enjoyed it. It was so much fun.

Church Makes us Tired


Last Sunday we went to church. It was a pretty usual day until Mindy came and got me out of Elder's Quorom. So I went out in the hall to find out what was up. Our little son knows already how to escape church he had an accident and we had to go change his clothes. Any who after church after Ashton and I were filled so heavily with the spirit we became weak and had to rest. Mindy caught us in the act though!

What Kind of People Eat This Stuff!!!

We fed da boy some Cheerio like food recently it's flavored like berries. We were all excited to get him eating these so he could just sit in his chair and chow down at his leisure. So we laid some on his tray and waited to see him stuff his face. So we sat there and waited... and waited... and waited. Granted he loved the treat, but he just loved to smash them and throw them and do anything but eat them. Finally we had to take some initiative and put it in his mouth and these pictures show the results. Not a happy camper. Hopefully he likes em soon!

Jade and Kirsti!



We were really blessed recently we went to two weddings in two weeks! This last Saturday was Jade and Kirsti's turn. Their wedding was awesome, they were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. It's awesome to be in the temple with family and the ones you love so much. They had a Luau the night before for them it was so sweet! They even had some Hawaiian dancers come it was really cool to watch. Then at their reception we had a ton of fun too. They had dancing, now Mindy and I aren't big dancers but when everyone else is dancing and having a ball you can't help but join in! I am glad we did it was so much fun. We wish them the best and can't wait for Ashton to have a little Bytheway cousin! nudge nudge.
