First 2 weeks with Ashton

Cam was able to take 2 weeks off work to help with Ashton and get Cohen adjusted to having a baby in the house. It was such a busy couple weeks, we had so many visitors, and several meals brought in to us, and on top of everything else we also started looking for a new house! Yeah I know it was kind of crazy timing to start looking for a new house but we thought it would be smart to take advantage of the time Cam had off. Cohen loved going in house after house to check things out, it was pretty cute, but you can only look at so many houses before you start to get sick of it! So one of the last days that Cam had off we decided to go to the Zoo, it was such a nice day, it felt nice to just be out enjoying it as a family!

Ginger, Cohen, and Ashton (2 weeks old) Cohen loved being at the Zoo, he always gets so excited to see the animals, especially the monkeys!

Ashton Scheyd

I'm a little behind on my posts (considering Ashton is now 4 1/2 months) but better late then never right?! We checked in at the Riverton Hospital at 10:40am on Tuesday August 17, our little Ashton arrived at 2:35pm, only 4 hours later! I consider myself very lucky to have such fast and easy labors, I only had to push twice! I'm also very lucky to have had such a great doctor, thanks to my cousin for referring me to her father-in-law.

Proud mom and dad I love how alert he is in this picture! This is one of the few times he actually took a Bink, thank goodness he is such a happy baby, cause he sure doesn't like it now.

Time to bring him home, he looks so tiny is his car seat!

Baby-Q

Our family and friends put together a Baby-Q to celebrate our new addition! It was very nice, and we really appreciate everyone and everything they did to help. Since this wasn't the normal "baby shower" there wasn't any games, instead there were several different things to do (mostly for the kids, but that's what really matters...right?)

Thanks again to everyone that helped put together this party for us, we had a great time!

Playing at the lake

Riley & Cohen

We don't live close to a beach so I guess we will settle for the lake...It's nice that it is only 5 minutes from our house, and we can go through our neighborhood! It takes a few minutes for Cohen to warm up to the sand and decide its OK, he HATES being messy! I love this and hate it at the same time, it's nice that he is always clean and I don't have to worry about him making big messes, but sometimes I wish he would just loosen up and play.

Cowabunga Bay

We spent a lot of the summer at Cowabunga Bay! Cohen loved jumping in and splashing around. He also went down a few slides with dad (since mom couldn't...next year! ).

don't forget your sunscreen :)

swimming sure tires you out

Cohen wants to be just like his dad

We love getting "sunburned" ice cream cones, yum!

We decided to squeeze is one last time before the baby arrived, this was 2 days before Ashton was born!

We love swimming and Cowabunga Bay is so much fun! We are getting passes for sure next summer!!

Lagoon-summer 2010

Cohen and Riley

I just love this picture of Cohen and Riley in the car! It was one of their favorite rides, to bad all the other kids loved it too....the line took forever!

We watched the bird show one of the times, and the boys just loved it

Cam's dad, Cohen and Cam

This summer we went to Lagoon a few times, with Cam's brother Cory and his family. With Ginger being pregnant she wasn't able to ride anything, but still had fun watching how much Cohen loved the rides, and it was just nice to get out and walk!
