6 Month Swing

So I am home sick with the flu. Happy Birthday, here's the flu. But the weekend was wonderful until I got sick Sunday night! Friday night Wes made me an awesome dinner. Peppercorn steak (adapted from Julia Child's recipe), rosemary potatoes and a marble dairy free chocolate cake that Ashton helped with and said, "This is going to be YUM-MY!" As my hip brother would say, the meal was slammin'! ( I have recently been teased because Ashton has picked up on my 80's exclamation of "pretty neat" like, "that tractor is pretty neat" so I need to bring him up to date) Anyways, it was such a fun night with my boys and my sweet husband gave me a gorgeous pearl necklace.Then Saturday night he and my parents had planned a surprise party! The party was so much fun and I loved having my favorite people under one roof! I will have to post pictures when I get some from other people's cameras. Now these pics are from the week before when we celebrated Collin turning 6 mos at the park with his first swing! We had done the same for Ashton so I thought it would be a tradition for us! In fact, I dressed Collin in the same little jacket for the pictures. He seemed to like the swing and Ashton loved being at the park after such a long winter. The second pic is Ashton counting graffiti on the tunnel. haha The last pic is of Ashton at 6 mos on the swing and all the others are Collin. There were too many cute ones not to share. My favorite is the boys looking at each other-they do adore one another. Wes told me Ashton said to him just today, "Daddy, Collin is my buddy!" How sweet!!!A friend for life!

Aww, how sweet for Ashton to call Collin his buddy! That's precious. We'll e-mail you our pictures from the party. Feel better soon!
