So last weekend I headed to Brown County IN with some girlfriends for a moms weekend. It was a blast ! We stayed at Rawhide Ranch. It was a beautiful place very rustic. We got to stay in the cabin instead of the bunk house so we had the entire place to ourselves. Angus the owners dog also became a fast friend. He would come up every morning for breakfast because he knew us ladies were suckers and would feed him. We brought tons of snacks, cards to play nertz, and some alcohol to help us unwind. Thanks to Meegan for the invite... I had a wonderful time!

Ashton & Isaac at the indoor track

Sunday Justin & Ashton headed to the indoor race track with Ashton's friend Isaac and his dad. Ashton did a great job riding and had loads of fun. Justin said that he did well on both the blue and the orange bike. He was a little scared at first but once he was out there and racing he was fine. He even got a little air and didn't fall :) I am very proud of him for being adventerous and trying new things (even though it scares me to death)

Cannin & Dustin

Tonight we headed to Newark Oh to Coco Keys indoor water park. We had a wonderful time with the Wedeking & Brady families. We floated in the lazy river, played basketball, and headed to the water slides. I have to admit I was freaked out a bit but went down all of them. The one that is in the dark freaked me out the worse. Then Ashley & I got in the double inner tube and and went down the slide together. It was a blast. Ashton spent most of his time going down the slides. He is such a daredevil. No Fear for the one that is for sure. He would slide down the slides and then turn around and head right back up. Owen even went down the slides. He was the first one up there and to go down. I so did not see him doing it but he had fun. He started feeling yucking towards the end of the night so I think he is getting sick.

Happy 1st Birthday Cannin!

Saturday night we helped Canni B celebrate his first birthday. We are so happy that we could be a part of the little guys special day. He is such a great baby! It is amazing to think that this time last year we were braving the snow to head to the hospital to welcome him into our family! He got lots of cool stuff for his birthday and enjoyed a cupcake while everyone sang to him. Then he got down and played with his friends. It was a wonderful day. Happy Birthday Canni B! We love you!

Catching up

Thursday brings on our scrapbooking day as usual. Ashley made it back to Ohio from Texas this past week. So Cannin and mommy were a nice addition to our group. We missed them terribly while they were gone. It is nice to have a down day with the ladies just talking and scrapbooking. We always have such a wonderful time together.

Ashton riding

So Owen has been asking for a small 4 wheeler which we are having a hard time finding. Justin came across this dirt bike and got a great deal. So he gave Owen the option of keeping this orange bike, trading Ashton for the smaller blue dirt bike, or letting Ashton choose one of the bikes then O could sell the dirt bike for cash until we can find him a four wheeler. I think daddy was hoping he would keep the small blue bike so they all could ride together. Owen is a little scared of so we are working on it. So he let Ashton chose a bike as you can see he picked the orange one and now O is going to sell the blue one for cash to go for a 4 wheeler. We are having a hard time finding one for his size so if anyone has any ideas please let us know.
