Happy Birthday Ashton

So this weekend was Ashton's first birthday so we headed back out to California for his party. He is such a cute little guy and I can't believe that he is already one, it's crazy how fast it goes by. They had his birthday party on Saturday which was a lot of fun for the adults (aren't first birthdays always like that though) and then on Sunday we went to Tyler's parents and took the boys swimming. Tyler's parents have a really nice pool/spa and a beautiful backyard and they had the pool and the spa all nice and warm for us (just like I like it). The spa felt so hot when we got in but the temp was reading 99 degrees so we figured it was just because we had just got in it from the pool but it turned out the thermometer was broken and it was actually 110 degrees. I am suprised that neither of the boys complained when we put them in it. So we had to flush out the spa with a little cold water to bring it down to under 100 so it was safe for the babies. It was Jonah's first time swimming and he LOVED it. Unfortunatly I didn't get any pictures but if you check Mary's blog she has a ton of great pictures from the weekend including one of Jonah lounging on me in the spa that is pretty cute.

Jonah loved this Little Tikes car. We thought when we put him in it that it would occupy him for a few minutes but he stayed in it for a long time just spinning the wheel and making "car" noises.

He was so tired from not taking a nap so I put him in Ashton's new swing and he fell asleep in like two minutes and stayed there for over an hour.

He had his nine month check up on Monday and he is weighing in at 27 pounds 4 oz and is 32 1/2 inches long. He also has another ear infection in both ears and he had to get his MMR a few months early because there is a measles outbreak in Florence so they are giving it to all the babies early. So on top of the ear infection he has been running a fever (which got up to 103.4 last night) for the past few days and has been very fussy. On the bright side he has been sleeping straight through until like 8:30 in the morning and sometimes going back to sleep until like 10:00.

Jenn, Lisa, Me, and Lyndsay

(I can't believe I am putting a picture of my fat butt up here. don't get used to it cuz it won't happen again for quite awhile)

Lastly my good friend Jenn is in town for the month of June from New York so last night we all went out to Cheesecake Factory and to see a movie. It was nice to get out by myself for a little while and to see my friends. Lisa just moved to Flagstaff a couple weeks ago so it was good to be able to her to. My friends need to stop moving away, oh well we may be moving soon also :)
