Happy Birthday...Mason!!

For Mason's Birthday we took in to Laser Tag....He loved it!

The Winner was MOM!!

He Got to have a "pubcake" party at school as he would call it! I can't find it in me to correct him because I love the way he says it!! Then we took him out to buy a birthday toy! He picked out a hellicopter flying game and he has played with it everyday..I think that DAD might be having too much fun with it too! It was a fun night and he fell alseep on the way home and told me the next day that he even was so sleepy at school he couldn't even stay awake during recess. oops!!

Fun Things he says:

MASON: Mom I'm going to measure my arm.. (holding a tape measure)
MOM: ok do you need help?
MASON: " NO" Looks like it's about 6lbs.
MOM: Oh I get it...that's one strong arm you have! :)

Aprils 29th Birthday

I thought that I would sneak onto our blog and post a message for April. So if it is all jacked up forgive me, I am not a proffessional blogger like most of you who will read this.

April turned 29 on the 26th of August. I woke up at 6:00 with the kids and we ran downstairs. I had the kids draw a card for Mom and I grabbed the presents. We then went upstairs and sang happy birthday to mom at 6:15 am in bed. We all got in bed with her as she read her cards and opened her presents. The ashton animals got Mom some new earphones called marshmallows (pink I might add) and she needed them. Her old ones were showing wires. I kept telling her a few weeks ago that she just needed to wait and she did so now she has new ones. I got her some new perfume and lotion from Victoria's Secret that she loves and a new camera that you will start seeing some new pictures from. It was ordered a little bit late so we should have it in a few day. She wanted a proffessional camera so here it comes Honey!!!

I then made some breakfast and went to work. At 2 o clock I came home and made her leave to go get a pedicure that I had been hearing about for the last week. I was glad to let her get out and have just a little bit of time to herself.

At 7:00 we had about 6 or 7 couples and their kids come over and we all played, talked, mingled, and had cake and icecream that Arianne baked for me.

April I just want you to know that I love you sooooooooooooo much. I love everything that you do here at the ashton animal household. I hope you had a great day.

Love Dustin

Loosing a tooth...

deAR tOoThFaiRy,

I have waited a long time loose a tooth...and my my mom said it would happen when it was ready. I could never figure out when that was. All of my friends were losing teeth and I have wondered if i was EVER going to loose one???!!

Well this is how it all happened...a few weeks ago I had this small bump come up behind my front lower tooth...I ran to mom asking what is this I haven't lost my front one???! Mom soon told me that I had to pull the baby tooth to make room for my new tooth. I think I was a little scared to admit it but i really hurt to pull on it...Mom kept bothering me about it and told me she would pull it if I didn't. That was the last thing I wanted MY MOM TO PULL IT!!

A few more days went by and I had worked on it a little...Mom pined me down and pulled ever so hard...It made me cry and It was bleeding....I ran to Dad and told him what had happened. He said let me look...

After a talk with Dad, he had me calmed down and they both told me stories of when their dad's helped pull baby teeth. They both told me about this string method...Mom's was hooked to the tooth and tied around the door knob and Dad's seem a little more safe to just pull on it till it fell out ...so that's what we did!

Dad wrapped the string around my tooth that was so loose..that if I sneezed, it would have fallen out...then he and mom told me it would be OK...He held the sting with his left hand and SMACKED the wall to hear a loud POP. Both Mom and I jumped not expecting that to happen then we both looked back at DAD and he held up my string in his right hand and it some how had my tooth hooked to it and I really don't know how he got it on the string??

I was so excited that I really wanted to keep it!!! I wrote the tooth fairy a note and asked her if I could keep my special tooth....

The rest is history...She left me my tooth and even gave me two dollars!!

Love ,mAsON

8 years...

Today is our 8 year Anniversary!! Holy Cow it seems like just yesterday we were dating and living the crazy life in Provo Utah! I definitely have a wonderful man who is an awesome dad to our kids, treats me like a queen, will sacrifice anything for our family, great leader, a hunter, a hard worker, and I can dream of any home improvement project and we can (the both of us) get it done! I guess I'm the designer and he is the hands on behind the scenes! I do Love it!!

Fun facts what 8 years will do to you...We have moved 8 times, 13 jobs, 1 motorcycle, 7 cars, 3 trucks, 4 kids and 2 dogs both named Murphy, lived in 2 states, traveled to WA, HI, UT, AZ, NM, NV, WY, OR, ID, ND, CA and Mexico!

I hope NEVER to MOVE again but how often my hubby like to move I'm sure it might be in the next 3-5 years! Yikes...Same with trucks...We got what we need and won't have to upscale again!! He likes change and I seem to have a hard time with it each time he brings it up. Just to scare you all he all ready thinks about where he can get closer to HUNTING and I said we're not going anywhere any time soon!!!

We got to get out..headed to Mesa, had dinner at Rosa's (yummy, yummy) then to a fun night at Jesters Inprov...just had a good time dust and I!

Happy Anniversary Honey!! Who knows where I would be with out you!!

I DO LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!

First Day of School...

Chloe is starting pre-school again and she couln't stop talking about it all summer long. She is so excited to be back into Mrs. Luna's class and can't wait to get started with all her fun activities!!

Mason was so excited to get back to school too, but after the first day he came home and reminded me that school takes forever he says. Pretty cute! He dosn't like doing any kinda homework he get this from is DAD! It's even a struggle to get him to talk about what he did each day. Today went better and is seems to be enjoy it! He has Ms. Lippmann!

I still seemed to get a little teary eyed when I dropped him off the first day knowing that he will be gone so much longer and that my time with my oldest is getting shorter and shorter! I got back in to the truck and Dust asked me what was wrong after the first day and I had to explain that it's so hard for me to send my little ones off to a full day of school!!

I would have to say we had a full and busy summer but it always seems to go by way to fast!!

Well another girls night out...what can i say so much fun and great food. Who doesn't like Cheesecake? It was the 30th anniversary of Cheesecake factory so they were having a special on of course CHEESECAKE! My favorite! There was just a few tricks to get it! You had to dine in and actually sit down, not just walk up to their yummy bakery. After a 40 mins wait to be seated, I thought was this really worth it??? Then to my surprise Dustin and some of his work guys showed up wanting cheesecake too! So to have us all seated was going to be even longer so i said NO!! The girls sat down and enjoyed each others company and then they were seated across the way. After another hour wait to get us cheesecake we thought...does it really take this long to put just a few pieces on a plate? Our waiter told us that the bakery was a little backed up...well I would have say more then a little!! During our long wait I went and sat with Dustin's and his work buddies. I was on the hunt to order another piece because our server told us that we could only order one...when i knew it freezes so well....We all had plans on more then one. So I did it , I sat with the guys and ordered another! Yummy Yummy!! I was in heaven for the next couple of days!

Thanks again Brooke for a great night and putting it all together! Let's do it again!!
