Stuff

I haven't been on here for a few days, so here's what we've been up to. Last Saturday we went to Lars' summer work party that they have every year. They just have food and a bunch of the big bouncy houses/slides for the kids, face-painting, snowcones, cotton candy, etc...

Ashton had a blast-here he is waiting in line to go down the big slide (at first he thought he could just cut in front of everyone, but then he started standing by this little girl Mackenzie, and went up the stairs and down the slide with her the rest of the time) It was pretty cute! He made sure he was standing right by her in line every time.

As usual Gunnar slept most of the time while I was holding him...so that was nice. We stayed for a couple hours, then went home before it got too hot.Sunday Ashton and Gunnar's Grandparents from Texas arrived (my Dad and Step-Mom Michelle), they stayed 3 nights and left this morning to go to Evanston. I'll take the boys there tomorrow. It was nice to have them here and nice that they could actually stay with us now that our basement is finally finished. We didn't do a whole lot, just hung around the house, did a litle shopping (and a lot of eating) but they were mostly here to meet Gunnar and spend time with him and Ashton. Here are some of the pics from their visit...

I have to mention that they brought Ashton some new Cars pajamas and he hasn't hardly taken them off the past 4 days! Actually I take that back-they came with a pair of shorts and a pair of pants and every time we turned around he was changing between the two saying things like "oh it's too hot now, I better put the shorts on", then the next minute "I'm getting cold, I better put the pants back on." Over and over and over he changed them, but hey it kept him busy and he LOVES them! I do miss the days of getting to dress him however I want and him not knowing how to change his clothes! Now he would rather stay home in his pajamas than go anywhere if I make him wear normal clothes. Even to get ice-cream or go to a park! Silly kid!
