Easter Part 1

On Saturday we went to Brainerd to celebrate Easter with Paul's family. The boys went to an Easter egg hunt.




Apparently dad is a bad driver, because on the way back to Neil's the boys wanted to protect their heads with the buckets used for the egg hunt...just in case!



Then it was time for lots of 4-wheel riding. Ashton even got grandpa to take him for a ride (after asking him all day)!

Eggs Dyed

On Friday we dyed our Easter eggs. The boys had fun doing it and there wasn't too much fighting!




Our finished eggs!

Beach Day

Carson had beach day at pre-school last week. He had a great time. We also had his conferences. His teachers said he has excellent cutting skills and isn't afraid to ask questions. It was neat to see how far he has come since he started in September.

Fun with Grandparents

My mom and dad were here last weekend and the boys had lots of fun with them. Ashton and my dad did some reading.



Carson cuddled with my mom. She even bought him new sunglasses.


They enjoyed spending time with all their grand kids, including Isabella.

Birthday Party!

Last Saturday we celebrated Ashton's birthday with family. He had a Curious George themed party!



We had lots of visitors for Ashton to hang out with.




Of course he got lots of presents and enjoyed opening and playing with them.

2 Year Update

We took Ashton in for the 2 year wellness check-up. He now weighs 25 1/2 pounds and has jumped up to almost the 25th percentile and is almost 35 inches tall, which puts him at the 50th percentile! We had to have a blood draw again to check his thyroid levels. This time they went up quite a bit, so he has started medicine for his thyroid in hopes to get the levels lower. They aren't sure what is causing this, but because of his development, his doctor thought it was best to start him on it now. He could grow out of it or it may be something he has to deal with through life. But, I'd rather start now so he doesn't have problems later!

Happy Birthday Ashton

Ashton had a good birthday! They had a little party for him at day care and then when he got home he got to open his presents.




Then it was time to play with his new toys!
