We had our own little birthday party for Kashton the night of his birthday. We had his favorite dinner (salmon and rice) and then we sang Happy Birthday and had cake. Kashton got to open all of his presents from us and decided that he really likes birthdays!!

Mommy and daddy spoiled Kashton this year. These are all the present just from us.

Kashtons first present that he opened. He got the hang of it real quick.

Daddy got Kashton a tricycle. It is definatly Kashton's favorite present.

He loved loved loved to blow out the candle on his cake. He kept making us light it again so he could blow it momma.

Dawn of the Dinosaurs

For Kashton's birthday I took him to the movies, we saw Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. I sure didn't think that he would be as good as he was, he sat through the whole movie.

He didn't sit quite so still before the movie started, this is him running around in the empty theater.

He kept climbing in and out of his seat and saying up down up down

Once the movie started he was a good boy and sat on my lap the whole time

Kashton's first birthday present

My Grandma Audrey sent Kashton his first birthday present last week and he was very excited to open it. We decided to let him do so early to see if he could get the hang of it. And get the hang of it he did!! He loved ripping off the paper and the mat and cars that he got were wll played with! Thanks Grandma Audrey

Begining of a fun busy week

This week was Kashton's 2nd birthday so we did a lot of fun things, I will do a lot of posts this week about everything that we did so that I can show you all the cute pictures that I got. The week started out slow but Kashton still had a ton of fun.

Kashton loves his cape now and will run around the house naked with just the cape on.

He had his first taste of Spaghetti this week, he loved the taste but hated the mess! He kept telling me mess mommy mess.

His new favorite thing is to dress up in whatever he can find. He came walking out of my room with my shoes on, Mike's hat and his football in his hands. He ran around like this for hours.

Tonighs Gonna Be a Good Night

We had a fun family night tonight!! It all started with a package from my mom with a SUPER KASHTON cape and a pirate ship, Kashton ran around the house for hours. Then it was time as a family and dinner at Chili's.

While I was opening the package Kashton was saying Yippee yippee suprise suprise

Running around in his super Kashton cape ready for everything!

While we waited for dad to finish his tile job we played in the leaves for a while, Kashton loves to run through them and shout leaves leaves.

Mike's Birthday

Mike's 28th birthday was a few weeks ago and as old people we didn't do much. I told Kashton to tell his daddy Happy Birthday, he said no daddy's birthday, Kashtons birthday. Kashtons birthday is in one week and he has been telling me that it is his birthday every morning because he wants to open his presents. For dinner we went to Jonny Corinos and had a wonderful time, their italian cream sodas are the best!!

Family dinner for daddy's birthday!

Kashton out at dinner sad because I wouldn't let him dip his own bread in the oil.

Halloween

Here is Kashton getting ready to go to the church with his cousin Ross for Trunk or Treating

This is when Kashton won the costume contest at the Church Halloween party

RRRR

He would much rather sword fight then trick or treat

Making Halloween Cookies

Last week Mike had to work nights so while he was a work Kashton and I decided to make some Halloween cookies (and by Kashton and I, I acutally mean just me). It was great mother son fun and also great mother son mess.

First of all I gave Kashton the butter to put on the counter, next thing I know he was trying to take a bite out of it.

This is Kashton helping me mix the dough.

This is Kashton eating the dough (I know I shouldn't have let him but I couldn't help myself)

And here is the finished product. I know, not so creative but very tasty

When Was The Last Time You Had A Hay Day

This weekend started out not so great with Kashton running a fever and me getting into a fight with Mike's best friend, but Mike tried to turn it around for us. He came home from work on Friday and took us to Hay Day a mini golf and games place and we had tonz of fun (allthough Kashton didn't get most of it). On Saturday we went to ToysRUs to get part of Kashtons Halloween costume and daddy decided to buy Kashton and new race track and some cars just for being so good while he was sick, then he took us out for icecream. I really love my husband for trying to make things right.

Kashton playing putt putt and doing an okay job. He always picked up the ball and put it in the cup at the end.

Kashton's favorite game was the race car game.

Kashton racing with his daddy. They got 4th place even though Kashton was driving.

Kashton's new race track and race car.

Kashton has never had icecream on a cone before, it was fun and rather messy.

Blake's Wedding

My little brother (who I swear is still only 16 but is really 23) got married earlier this month to Jaclyn (who is like another sister to me). The wedding was wonderful and it was a great reason to visit Utah and my family again. I told Kashton that we were going to go to the temple where Jesus is and he told me Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam. He just knows. Anyway it was wonderful.

Blake and Jac just coming out of the Temple.

Kashton ran right up to them when they walked out. No one else was around and as soon as he realized that everyone was looking at him he got all shy.

Kashton didn't want to take his picture with all of the nieces and nephews so he fought it the whole time.

Kashton got to wear read shoes just like Blake

Finally a New Post

I haven't been able to blog lately because we didn't have a computer but YAY we finally got one and got the internet all set up and are ready to go. So now I can catch up. I am back at school and working so I have hardly any time for the fun things in life but I am making time for my cute little dude. He turns two in 7 weeks and that is very scary for me. I can't be the mother of a two year old. We are teaching him his shapes, colors, letters and numbers and he seems to be picking it up really well. He is the funniest dude ever. So now that we have a computer I will start blogging at least once a week to keep everyone updated.

Day 10 and Going home

On Thursday we spent the day with Aunt Jac for her birthday. We went and got pedicures and Kashton was actually well behaved. We were supposed to go to Kara's again but didn't have a car to get up there. We are very sad that we didn't get to spend more time with her. Then at night we had cabob's with my mom and dad and my grandparents came over for a visit. On Friday all we did was get ready to fly back to Oklahoma. Kashton was real good on the plane again and as much as we miss Grandma and Grandpa it was nice to get back and see daddy.

Day 9

On Wednesday we went to the zoo with Grandma and then to Great Grandma's house.

A mokey's got my neck, help!!

Day 8 in UTAH

Tuesday was a really great friends day. We went up to Ellie's house and played for hours (she also did my hair Thanks Ellie) then at 6 we had dinner with a whole group of friends, all that I have known since I was young.

Kashton playing B-Ball with his friend Collin.

Dinner at Zuppa's (my favorite place in the world to eat) with Leslie, Nikki, Lisa, Nicole, Marci, Kara and Talan.

Day 6 and 7

On Sunday we went to church and then Kashton took a nap for 5 hours. That is when you know that you have worn your child out. On Monday my parents took Kashton to Cabela's a stor in Utah that has animals all over. Kashton loves it. And I went to my aunts house to go swimming and have some time with my cousins and my aunts. They came and met us and Kashton got to go swimming and then we went to dinner with my aunts and cousins. GREAT DAY!

Day 5 UTAH!

On Saturday we had a lot of fun as a family. Kashton fell on the sidewalk and you will notice for the rest of the trip has a scraped up nose.

Kashton doing yardwork with Grandpa, I tried to take him inside with me but he was having none of that.

Fixing Uncle Geek's headlight on his scooter, you would think someone taught him how to use tools.

We went to my aunt Richelle's house for Blake's family party and Kashton spent most of the night playing with all the sports equipment that they have in their backyard!

It was to cold to actually swim but Kashton sure liked putting his feet in. (PS nice supermodel look Brynlee)

Kashton made in new friend in Blake's soon to be nephew Luke, they played at the park while everyone else played baseball.

Kashton even got to help uncle Geek blow out his birthday candles.
