The most colorful vocabulary and another loose tooth bites the dust

Ashton has always been very articulate.  Lately he has used words like "my hypothesis is..." and "sockeyed" salmon....too funny!

Also after months of being wiggly he finally lost his second tooth.  Like his first tooth, he lost it/misplaced it! Oh well, tooth fairy still came, but he didn't seem to care one way or the other!

Another new skill!

Today Ashton surprised me by tying his own shoes!  I had taught him the other day and apparently daddy had been teaching him as well.  Needless to say he was a quick learner!  Yeah Ashton!

It's going to be a good year!

Ashton: "The new pe teacher is really nice, he didn't even yell at me!" LOL

It's going to be a great year!

First day of 1st grade success!

Today was Ashton's first day of school.  He even posed with his back pack for a picture for me!  He reported it was a "great day".  Made a mama's heart happy!  He was especially happy that he had recess time with all his man cub friends!

Ready for 1st grade!

This boy LOVES his bike!

We just got back from our annual Labor Day camping trip!  Ashton was a biking maniac.  He biked from the moment he woke up until it became too dark for him to bike in the evening.  Talk about a happy boy!  His little butt even got a little bike abrasion rash from so much biking:)  He biked so much that he had a total blow out of one of his tires, wheel and all!  At first he thought it awesome since it made a very loud explosion noise, but sadness set in when he realized it meant he couldn't ride his bike anymore:(  Thankfully we had another small one he could ride!

Of course everytime we go camping Ashton makes friends and plays with everyone!  Such a happy boy!  Here's him and Rudy being silly!

Silly boys
