Thanksgiving Point Farm

Ashton loves animals. Especially farm animals. So Grandma Becky took us all to the Thanksgiving Point Farm. Ashton loved it and was in awe the whole time. He just stared and stared.





Ashton especially likes sheep. Every time he saw one (or something that resembled one) he pointed and said "BA!"









He also went on his first pony ride! I consented only because Tyler could walk beside him, the animals appeared to be securely restrained, and they were walking really, really slow. :) At first he wasn't sure what was going on, but then he was loving it!








At the end there's a room with farm toys. Ashton definitely enjoyed that one, too. He spent a long time putting the fruit and vegetable cards on the tree, and taking them off, and putting them in his mouth... I know, not so sanitary. Oh well, he is building immunities, I say.







On our way out through the gift shop we bought Ashton a little farm puzzle, but of course he loved the sheep Grandma got him the best!


That sheep only left his mouth for one reason: to eat a chocolate ice cream cone! It's the first one that I've let him eat all by himself. And he was LOVING it!!!


Thanks for the trip, Becky!

The First Haircut!




As you can see, the hair was getting out of control. It was definitely time for the first haircut! So, we locked him in the booster chair and I cut his hair while Tyler distracted him with snacks. I think Ashton did a very good job for never having his hair cut before!



Before...


...and after!


Daddy's Favorite: the faux-hawk.


Mommy's Favorite: little spikes.

Yay, we did it! And what a handsome, big boy!

Exact Words:

"We need to have more kids. Who could deprive the world of such cuteness?"
--Tyler


I so agree.

Welcome Home Royce!!!

(Since I always seem to forget my camera when it is the most glaringly obvious...THANK YOU to Alycia for the pictures!!!)


Waiting at the airport.


And waiting.





And still waiting.






I teased Becky that she would cry. And she promised me that she wouldn't.


But then...



You can see how long that lasted... Can't say I blame her, though. :)


Hugging mom and meeting Carter for the first time.


Ah, the big brother. (Tyler)


And meeting Ashton for the first time.


Ah. Home at last.


We're glad to have you back, Royce!
