Ashton's 2nd Birthday Celebration

It is crazy to believe, but my little boy Ashton is 2 years old.  This weekend we had a little party at our house for him.  He had such a great time and the older that he gets, the more he understands what is going on.  If you ask him how old he is he now says "2".  He is growing up so fast!  He has such a great personality and he is constantly making us laugh.  Here are some pictures from the party:

Cate was Ashton's helper when it came time to open the presents

Here is Ashton bouncing on the bouncy toy cow.  It was a big hit!

Ashton LOVES trucks and this truck is no exception.  I think you can tell how much he loves it by the huge smile on his face.

Eric, Cate, and I gave him a matchbox car track that shoots the cars up in the air.  

Grandma and Grandpa Schmidt gave him this beautiful fire truck that has pedals on the inside, a bell, and a fire hose on the back.  He LOVES the firetruck and only gets out of it to eat and sleep.

I made Ashton a leggo cake for his birthday because that is one of his favorite toys.

Ashton can't wait to dive into his birthday cake.

It didn't take him long to eat his piece of cake

To talk the kids into doing a family photo we told them we would do a silly one first and then do a good one.  

And here is the good one :)

Last night I put together Ashton's matchbox track and he was so excited to see it.  

Here are some videos of the kids from this morning:
