Brotherly Love

This is a baby toy of Dallen's where you lay underneath some fish and there is a ball hanging over the feet where you can kick it. Ashton thinks that this is a fun toy for him sometimes. This time Dallen was already playing and Ashton wanted a turn so he climbed under with Dallen. I had to scoot Dallen over a little so Ashton could fit but Dallen didn't care. He just watched Asthon.
Ashton always says "hold you Dallen". He loves his little brother. We attempted this picture a few times and obviously this was the best one, but there are some where Dallen was screaming. The problem is that when Ashton is done holding Dallen he just pushes him away. (We're working on that.)

Happy Birthday

I think that this was Ashton's favorite Birthday present. That is saying a lot since he got a bike and a video game console. He loved his balloon and he carried it around until it went flat. He even made me tie it to his bike a couple of times so it could go with him.
Ashton loves it when we sing Happy Birthday. He just giggles and claps. I guess he knows that lots of cake follows the song. On his Daddy's B-day a few days later he thought it was all for him again.
Happy Birthday Daddy. Doesn't he look so excited to be turning 29.

This was how the party ended up, on the floor. Tyson is the one on the right, he has got on a tough look but I believe Casey, on the left, won. I'm sure he has lots of excuses.

24th of July

This is our boys at the beginning of the auction that lasted forever. By the end Dallen was sleeping wrapped up in a blanket and Ashton was going to pass out but we were waiting for the fireworks, which didn't happen until around 11:30 at night. We lasted outside until maybe 10:30 then got in the car where Ashton did go to sleep. We woke him up for the fireworks.

This is Ashton dancing during the concert. He has some great moves.

Cousins

We were using the T.V. as a babysitter during our visit to Panguitch on the weekend of July 22nd. Ashton and Olivia got to be good friends during this trip.

Besides the T.V. Ronny was also a great babysitter. He was really watching all of these kids by himself. This is all of the cousins besides Cooper. He must have been having a nap at this time.
This is Ashton and Olivia saying goodbye after their fun weekend of playing with eachother.

Smiles

These are the first pictures I snapped of Dallen's contagious smile. These were taken back in July. Now he smiles all the time. Especially when big brother Ashton pays attention to him.

This is how we made our way up to the park. Ashton loved having Dallen in the wagon with him.
Ashton loves to drive.
I let him go down the slide all by himself. He loves to play at the park.

Dinosaur Museum

For the 4th of July we went to the Dinosaur Museum in Vernal. Here is Ashton practicing to be a Palaeontologist. He had a lot of fun with the little activities they have in there.
This is what Dallen got to do during our little trip. He had so much fun.
Doesn't he look like he look so intense. That is a Whooly Mammoth behind him.

Dallen's Blessing Day

Here is a picture of our whole family on Dallen's blessing day.


These are all of the family members that were able to make it. We had lots of friends there also. We love them all so much. (Even all of you that couldn't make it. I totally understand.)

I love to get pictures of all my boys together. They are so handsome

Ashton got to play with a new old friend. This is Alli and they have been friends this is just the first time they actually played together. They took turns pushing eachother on the airplane.

Chillin'

Ashton turned on his favorite show "Handy Manny" and climbed into mommy's bed all on his own and this is how I found him. He has known how to run the T.V. and the DVD Player for a long time now. He is a lot like his Daddy.

During Dallen's naps he always gets that right hand up by his face. He is so precious.

Chick Magnets

How can you resist a face like that.
I couldn't resist a picture of them both in their "Chick Magnet" shirts. I didn't plan for them to be wearing the same shirt, we just lucked out I guess. I also wanted a pic showing how much bigger Ashton is than Dallen
Ashton loves to put shoes on all by himself, even if they aren't his. I don't know if he will appreciate how cute he is in his mommy's heels when he is older.
