Surprise!

Uncle Dale came for a visit!  Uncle Dale  had only met Ashton once and that was when he was 4 months old. It was fun to watch all the Winter boys play and tease one another. Uncle Dale taught Ashton 'seefood' - thanks, Uncle Dale!

Fun on the boards

one of the fun things about living back in Ocean City, MD is the boardwalk!  There is rides, food, games and PEOPLE!  Ashton just loves going.  Here are some photos from fathers day weekend. Ashton has no fear - he was riding rides much faster than I thought he would. Christian just smiled and laughed at his big brother as he always does.

Happy Father's Day

What better way to say Happy Fathers Day than by the D-A-D photo. I had all of 3 minutes to pull this off. After we were done, I noticed I had a huge smear on my lens thus the reason of the blur. Oh well, Ashton and Christian did great. I had to bribe Ashton with some lolly pops to get him to sit still.


Notice Ashton being a little rascal?!?

I can't forget my Daddy! It was nice to finally spend a father's day with him - first time in over 8 years.  He always wanted to plant a tree with the boys, so that is what we got him.

8 months...

where has the time gone?!? It seems like yesterday I was updating his 7 month profile! Christan has really turned the corner on so many things. Here are a few:
~Is crawling everywhere! Even does the one leg walk, crawl
~Says, "mumumu" - which to me means mama - he only says it when he sees me
~Is pulling up and starting to stand on his own
~Is eating all sorts of food - we are now moving on to chunky foods
~loves Mum-Mums for his snack
~Is taking big boy baths with his brother
~has his first plane ride and slept most of the time.
~would rather be held than be on the floor
~is still sleeping with me and Ashton
~is attending a new day care - Stages and seems to be adjusting well
~puts any and everything in his mouth - still NO teeth
~wears 9 months and size 3 diaper
~kisses when he feels like it.
~loves to dance

Memorial Day

This is the first holiday that we were able to spend with both sets of family since we've moved back. It was so nice to enjoy crabs while someone else helped with the kids. Check out our awesome family!






Christan had his first dip in the pool and he had a blast! Ashton had not been swimming since Christian was born so he had a blast as well. It's so nice to be home with family

Bath time!

Christan is finally able to join his big brother in the bath tub!  These two are such a good team. Ashton is all about his little brother and vise versa.  they love each other so much.  They now sleep next to one another, eat side by side and play together.  Ashton can still be a bit rough, but Christian gives it right back by pulling hair and skin. So cute!  I love these two boys more than the world!

Hello Maryland...

We finally made it to MD - after two lay overs and a long drive we finally made it to the good ole Eastern Shore. The grandparents were so happy to see the kids and Ashton was even more excited to fulfil his dream of riding tractors and dump trucks! Since we've gotten here, Ashton has really started to increase his vocabulary in ways I didn't think were possible. I am so proud of him!



The expression is priceless!

Bye, bye Tutu!

Friday, May 18th was the last day in Hawaii and it was the last day at Tutu's house. I know that Ashton will miss her dearly!  We all will!
