Today is Ashton's 3rd Birthday!!Ashton shares this Wonderful day with my Amazing Dad!
Grandpa and Ashton have a special little bond that I love to watch when they are together. Daddy, you are the greatest and I can't thank you enough for all you've done for me. You have a way of knowing just what I need. You're patience, loving support, desire to do good, your playtime with the grandkids, hard work ethic, service in the church, and your love for mom are priceless gifts to me. I love you dad. Happy Birthday!!
Ashton has been waiting for this day all week. We went to the store on Friday to buy the ingredients to make him a birthday cake. He wanted his special cake and frosting in his own bag to carry out of the store. He carried it to the car and into the house.
I ran up stairs for a minute when all the sudden I hear him down stairs saying," Mom, I'm making my Birthday cake." As I come running down stairs, I found him with the scissors and he had opened his candle, cut the bag with the cake mix, and was beginning to pour it out.
" I help you Mommacita"
This morning we were walking down the stairs and he said to me,
"Mom, let's go sing to me" as he proceeded to sing..."Happy Birthday to ME, Happy Birthday to ME!"

This little guy keeps our family laughing. Last night he said the prayer for dinner which went a little something like:
"Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for this day.
Thank you for, these cheerios I'm eating (there was a little snack bag of cheerios left on the table and as he said those words began to eat them)
Thank you that Ashton not like sauce on his quesadilla, and we get to go in a tent tomorrow (not really)
Amen!
Then he told me the other day as I was putting him in his car seat, "Mommy, little Ashton's are really cute huh."
" I love you Mommy, you my best friend" Does it get any better!
I can't believe my little baby is not such a little baby anymore. He is 3 years old, and I was just recalling the day he was born, like it was yesterday.
He is becoming a pretty independent little man. All potty trained, and out of all the baby gear. On one hand these are wonderful mile stones, on the other it reminds me he is growing up.
I love you Ashy. You are my special little boy

Aww, that makes me a little bit teary-eyed! How fun for your dad and Ashton to share a birthday, too.
Happy birthday Ashton! You are such a cute boy! I hope I am lucky enough to have kids half as cute as yours Jill! Love you guys!
Hi Jill. I found your blog on another blog. We miss you in the ward and seeing you. Hope you like your new ward. I hope you don't mind if I add yours to the blogs I visit. Our family blog is herrellhappenings.blogspot.com
Time flies, seems like we were just pregnant together. He is getting so big, really a little boy now. Makes me a little sad because that means Hailey is going to be 3 too.
Happy Birthday Ashton- I know I'm late. I miss you guys. I saw your parents from a distance at Disneyland on the 19th, but I was too far away to say hi! It made me think of meeting up w/ you guys there.
What a cutie! I love his prayers. So childlike. Happy Birthday!
