Ashment Family: August 2012

Look who's back from her blogging hiatus. Hopefully I'll stick around for awhile! So, what is new for the Ashment's? Last I left you we hadn't quite moved into our new home. Ha, ha, as you can tell from the date (just scroll down a couple of posts), we've been living here for over two years now. And the best part is. . . we're still here!! It's SO nice to have a place to call home and not have to pick up every year or two and move to a new place. Homeownership is bliss! Not that it doesn't have its challenges as well. I still have MANY things to do to make this place my own, BUT since we're not going anywhere anytime soon, I figure I still have time.

(Since no blog post is complete without some pictures, indulge me as I share some recent pictures of us from our recent trip to the beach.)

In other news...Owen is no longer a baby. Boo! It seriously breaks my heart. My little man just turned 3 on Saturday. We had a blast celebrating with him. I fixed him his favorite, "Cancakes", or in this case waffles. Then we went to our local zoo. There we got to see the many animals and we all rode on the carousel and the train ride. All of that animal watching got us hungry for some nice birthday lunch/dinner. What better place to satisfy hunger than The Cheesecake Factory. Mmmm!! I loved that it saved my the hassle of trying to whip up something special and allowed me to spend more of my time celebrating with my little man. When we got home he opened his presents and was super happy with his selection of superheroes that he received from us. We finished the night with cake and ice cream and watched old episodes of Spiderman on Youtube. It was a great day, and I enjoyed spending it with my favorite people.

Dylan is no longer an adorable curly haired toddler, he is now an adorable kindergartener. It still blows me away that he is in school. This is the beginning of the end. . ha, ha! I can't believe that for the next 15 years at least I will have my children in school. Then there will be church missions, and college after that. I seriously better not blink these boys are growing up SO fast! Anyhow, from what I can tell, Dylan is really enjoying school so far. For the next couple of weeks they will be doing a color unit from Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? For each day they will talk about a different color and will dress to school and have a snack in that color. Sounds like fun!
