Ashtons birth-week

Ashton had quite the celebration for his sixth b.day. I told him he might never have another birthday as cool as this one. We started out the festivities with him and I going to Disneyland together. Tera and I did this for her b.day and it was so nice spending one on one time with her that I decided we would make it a tradition; Mom always doing something with the birthday boy or girl. So Ashton and I went and we had soo much fun. He is tall enough to go on most of the big kid rides so we went on roller coasters and on Indiana Jones. He is very brave.
He felt so special being with just mom. He skipped every where we went and kept hugging my leg. It was a special time with my little boy and I will always remember it. We raced up Tarzan's tree house two times. he is so fast! He wore me out.

At Indiana Jones. I thought he would be afraid (because I am a little afraid of it) But he was so brave. I got close to him and kept saying "it's okay it's not real." Finally he got annoyed with me and said " I know mom. I am not scared, you are."

Then, the day before his b.day the whole family went down and stayed the night in Carlsbad. The kids love staying at motel's. They watched some TV and went in the hot tub.

The next morning (Ashton's actual b.day) we went to McDonald's, Ashton's favorite breakfast place. He loves the hash browns, the yogurt parfaits and the sausage mcgriddles. He planned out everything he wanted to eat during his birthday (week) it was cute. When we were talking about what a good b.day he was going to have he said "I know because I am going to have the yummiest food."
After a nice light (ha) breakfast at McDonald's, we went to LEGO LAND and Sea life aquarium. The kids had a blast. It is perfect for their age. And Ashton is very into Lego's so it was really neat for him.





This was the place you could build your car from Lego's and race them against others. Ashton and Tera loved this place.

Ashton and I went on the biggest roller coaster there together. It had one big drop off and Ashton was a little nervous about it. We went down the big hill (it was at the beginning) and he said "does this only go around once?" I told him yes and he seemed relieved. But then by the end of the ride he said "I wish it went around twice." When we got out we went and looked at the picture that was taken during the steep hill. I was yelling in it and Ashton had a terrified look on his face. We both laughed and he said "I am embarrassed about that picture. Let's not tell Dad." I love the things this little boy says.

The next day was Ashton's b.day party with all of his little buddies. I don't know if it is jut me but I always am surprised at how crazy birthday parties are. You'd think I would know what to expect by now, but they always end and I think "Wow. That was crazy." This party was no exception, but Ashton and his buddies had a good time.

Here he is opening the presents. The presents consisted mostly of weapons, bakugans and Legos. The present opening was one crazy ripping and tearing and I wasn't able to enforce good manners and appropriate thank you's as I would have liked to do. So those who came please accept this big THANK YOU!!

He kept getting a little crowded from the kids trying to view the present opening and he would tell everyone to back up and he kept moving places but the kids kept following him because they wanted to see too. Finally one of us little buddies, Eli yelled at everyone to "Give him some space." It was adorable.
Ashton requested GI Joe brownies. Ashton does not like cake (like his mommy) so requested brownies with ice cream, chocolate and Carmel sauce, whipped cream and sprinkles. He was very particular. For snacks at his party he requested sausage, pringles and strawberries with powdered sugar. I of course provided these odd snacks- happy to cater to my boys weird desires.
Kim is such a great Friend. She helped out by painting each kids face. I think there were at least 20 kids whose faces she painted. She's such a good sport.
All the kiddos.
The GI Joe Pinata.
And Ashton had to have Panda Express orange chicken (his absolute fave) Nana sent him money so he could take us out to lunch there.
Love you Ash! Thanks for being our boy.
