After an afternoon of running errands, Ashton and I stopped into Cold Stone for our favorite summertime treat; chocolate peanut butter brownie ice cream. As you can see Ashton can't get enough and absolutely loves ice cream!!! I love spending time with my little guy and I'm really savoring these last few weeks of just him and I.
Just wanted to say happy birthday to my favorite youngest sister Alexa. She's 6 years old today and sooo cute!! We love you Alexa and Ashton can't wait to see you this weekend!
This is a week early, but I just had my 34 week check up today and everything went great. We are thankful that I haven't had to go on bed rest or start on any medication. With Ashton it was at 31 weeks so things are looking good! I am having a lot of contractions and there's not a lot of room on my lap for Ashton, but the end is in sight. We can't wait to meet this baby!
Tommy, Ashton and I decided to brave the crowds and ventures out to our local fair. It was scorching hot all day long, so we waited until about 8:00 to go. The weather was perfect and even though Ashton's bedtime had come and gone, he loved every minute of it. The only reason we really wanted to go was to let Ashton do the petting zoo. He loves animals so much that we couldn't pass up the opportunity of letting him actually interact with them. We bought some animal food and headed into the area with the ponies, goats and llamas. Tommy and I agreed that the food was a bad idea because the animals absolutely swarm and maul you to get some of the food. Ashton got a little intimidated with all of the goats crowding in on him (they were his size and bigger), so I dropped the food and just walked around and let Ashton pet all of the animals. He loved the tiny baby goats, but didn't much like the adult ones, especially when they stuck their faces in his face. It was fun getting out as a family and of course letting Ashton run out whatever energy he had left.
After a long day of playing with friends and in the pool, this is what Ashton's hair looked like. He didn't mind though. As long as he got to splash in the bath before bed he was happy. Let's hope his full day of fun means we get to sleep in in the morning...doubtful.
Ashton isn't usually too interested in the tv. He likes watching movies in the car when we're out running errands, but he usually won't just sit down at home and watch a show. The other day I had the wonder pets show playing while he was following me around the house. After a while I noticed my little shadow had disappeared. I found him in the family room dancing to the theme song of the show, and when the song was over, he was out of there. It made me laugh because it was just so random. What would I do without him?!
