Christmas Morning 2006

Ethan set out carrots for the reindeer. He was upset that they did not eat ALL of the carrots. Our house woke up really early this morning. I think Ashton was up going to the bathroom around 6am. He came into our room at around 7am. I told him it was too early to go back to bed. Ethan was up not long after that. We couldn't hold them back any longer. Ashton, of course was like a bull in a china closet. We had to take a break from opening gifs to get breakfast and medication. They were both very excited about every gift that they opened. Every time Ethan opened a gift he would say, " this is just what I wanted". He is not hard to please. Ashton was happy with everything that he received. The rollerblades and ramp are probably his favorite.

Christmas Eve 2006

Christmas Eve: We enjoyed a wonderful church service at Fellowship church. Mark and I were truely amazed at the wonderful production of this church. Our thoughts were why go to a church that is trying to be like Fellowship Church when you can go to the church that is setting the standards for churches in our community. It was a wonderful experience! We went to the Coopers for the evening and played a few games and ate taco soup.

Who bought him this????

Ashton got a paintball gun for his birthday. When he opened it, he thought that it was a bb gun. He was really excited when he realized what it was. Of course he has to be supervised to use it. They have had a good time with it.

Ashton's 9th Birthday

Wow, how time flies. I can remember back on that December evening when I went into labor. Ashton has really matured this year. He is making all A's and received an E for conduct....(was the teacher sleeping when she did that). He is really good with Ethan and they love each other very much.

Santa 2006

We went to my work to see Santa and Mrs. Before we left the house Ethan was having a fit because he did not want to see Santa. In order to shut him up, I told him that he could stay in the car. When we arrived at my work, Ethan proceeded to tell me, "I'll wait here" as he held onto his car seat. He was very serious. He did not want to see Santa. Ashton informed Santa of what Ethan wanted and gave his own list as well. I really thought that last year would be our last year for Ashton to "believe", I was wrong. He still believes, he did ask some good questions, but I think that I satisfied him for now. Ethan did like the Mrs.
