Pumpkin Thrills and Ashton's first Spill!!!

Last Sunday we FINALLY made it to the Pumpkin Patch!! Usually I am dragging Luke there in September to get our PUMPKINS!! I love fall and the Pumpkin Patch!! So I was extra excited to go this year because now we have a little one to share it with. Let's just say Ashton is a chip right off the old block and LOVED the pumpkins, being outdoors and all around everything we put him through. We met some dear friends there as well and I am so thankful for their friendship because they captured some great pictures!! You see our camera broke and we thought well since we are heading to Bismarck for the pumpkin patch why don't we just go buy a camera before we go. Great idea right?? Sure except you can't buy camera with a full charged battery. So I was super THANKFUL that Jess and Jennie had their cameras and snapped a few shots for me!! I know I will stop blabbing and get to the good stuff!! Here we go..............

Warning EXTEME CUTENESS ahead!!!

 AHHHHHH!!! I know I know pick yourself off the floor.

 

What can I say??? He is a REALLY cute kid and with those pumpkins?.....I can't resist him!

 

Ok enough of the cute ones......Now for some silly photos that show our true colors.

 

That's Stu and Jennie!! They are at the same maturity level as us....hehe. And why is that acorn the same size as that squirrel???

This picture kills me!!! Oh Luke. Never a dull moment being married to him. It has been almost nine years.(december this year) I am glad he keeps it interesting. But somebody else might have to teach our kid how to act in public.

 

And NOW the moment you all have been waiting for Ashton's first spill........

 

 

"Hey that'll make a cool photo op for the photo book. Let me just set my kid in the dirt what could possibly happen?"

 

"Oh look he is loving this sign......" and then...................

Folks the result of a faceplant in the dirt. My reaction? Laughter. I laughed even harder when I changed his diaper and found it FULL of dirt!!

 

Well there you have it!! Till next time!

 

 









Biting the Bullet

Biting the Bullet!!

Hello Family and Friends!
I figured that I should suck it up and start a blog. My intentions for this is to keep you all filled in on the Lenz Household. Ashton is growing so fast I feel like I can't keep up with the little guy and also keep everyone informed on all the new things he is doing. So here we go.......... Here's a fast recap.

Ashton was born Feburary 7th 2012:

Ashton 2 weeks old





 

3 Months old!!! Loved this little outfit.

Sitting in his Bumbo Still 3 months old!

4 Months old and all ready to go to Dad's first Softball practice!

5 months and ready for a dip in the pool at Nana's!! Cousin Ben is the best. He is really the only one that can get Ashton rolling with laughter. It is so sweet to see how much my sisters kids love their cousin.

Asthon loved playing with this toy!! He could spend up to half an hour pulling on his "bugs" and making them sing. Always such a good boy when playing.

His very first Toby Mac concert!!! And not the last I am sure. :) We went to Hill Alive this year. It was such a quick last minute planned trip, but so much fun!! We love the Black Hills and plan on doing many more trips down there in the future.

7 Months old!!! Where the time goes I don't know. This kid loves his Momma's Ipad. Don't you just love his sweet fuzzy head. It gets lots of kisses in this house hold.

Ashton's first Birthday party he was invited to. I don't think he really knew what was going on but it was fun for Mom and Dad as well. Doesn't he make a cute fireman??

Ahh yes the summer was not complete without many trips to the lake!! Ashton is quite the chick magnet. Luke is starting dislike taking him public by himself. He says he get too much attention. How can you resist a kid like this. If I saw a kid this cute I would push over an old lady to get to him. But then again I am bias.

Not crawling yet.....but I think it could come soon. Now his main source of travel is rolling.

He just loves his Daddy!! And well his hat too! He also got his first tooth and had to try it out on something.

Ashton got his first cold this past week. :(  And of course it was when I had to work. The one weekend out of the entire month. :( But his Daddy did a great job with him and took such great care of him. Poor little guy was so tired he fell asleep in his bouncer.

Ahhh HAPPY 8 MONTHS  Ashton Paul Lenz!!


So there you have it 8 months in a few picture. So now that I am in Blog world. (raising right hand) I promise to post frequently so that you all can share in this blessing with us!! Till the next time!!
