Our family's second spring birthday sprung up quickly on the 21st of April. Ashy turned 5! Wow! Can't believe it! I have to remind myself not to call him "My Baby" sometimes. Whatever...I'll probably do it until he's 20. But he started off his birthday with some hab at Montessori with Richelle. They helped him make a birthday "crown"--too cute! Then we had some GF brownies when Daddy came home, opened his gift (a Dr. Seuss stuffed animal from Kohl's he'd been admiring), and hit the movie theaters. Jonah really wanted to see the new movie "How To Train Your Dragon", so we saw that. Ash LOVED the popcorn (one of his favorite foods), but didn't care too much for the movie. But my cell phone games came to the rescue and he made it through--whew!! It was a great time--love you Ashybug!
Jonah is my big 10 year-old now and literally eating everything in sight! He also still enjoys "a good book" and always runs to grab one before he'll sit down for a meal. He is currently attending Odyssey Charter in his 4th grade year and loves learning new things!
He currently adores football and is getting better at throwing one each day. He loves to read his football book and then quiz me on stats or share new jokes he's learned with anyone who will listen. He's especially good at creating new Thomas the Train track configurations for his little brother. He's also obsessed with earning as much "chore chart" money that he can. I'm going to have to start setting a serious limit!

Ash is 6 now and more adorable than ever! He's still obsessed about outdoor time and LOVES to ride his scooter (while balancing on one leg like a flamingo). He's also taken to reading like a natural and he often carries around his current favorite book with him throughout the house.
He loves being read to, jumping on our mini-tramp, following Jonah around, going to the library, playing coolmath4kids.com, riding his scooter, and throwing balls. He's such a sweetheart and brings joy to all around him.
