The last day Ashton was so sad that it was time for me to go to the airport.

Riding with grandma on the escalator is fun.

Ashton likes to feed the ducks at the pond at the library. He posed and then I posed for his picture of me.

Happy birthday Kelly!

Grandma enjoys Ashton time. She tries to bring a new building set and this is Ashton's Creation.

Watching Turtles 3D at the science museum.

Like Father like Son. We surprised Ashton by going to a Circus. I think Loren liked it the best.
