For Ash's special father son birthday date they went to Universal Studios rode some rides and did some bday shopping. Ash picked out this cool blazer and tie for his baptism.
We had a special family party that night. Ash requested a jet cake. I think Nate did a awesome job granting that request.
Ash got a guitar for his bday and will be starting lessons this fall. He is so excited to pick up on this new hobby.
8 things that make you GREAT!
1. You love having fun and are always ready for an adventure. You hiked to the top of Granduer Peak in Utah at seven years old. Not many seven year old can say they have hiked to the top of a mountain.
2. You are so full of energy. When you were a wee little guy about two you would ALWAYS start off running by running in place with your fists pumping and then you would take off from there. It was adorable and I regret not ever capturing it on a video camera.
3. You make friends really easily. Your personality is so fun and inviting people just want to be your friend. Even from a young age you would go to a park and make new friends instantly.
4. You are the BEST big brother. You get along with your brothers so well. They all look up to you and love you so very much. Always remember this as you will always be an example to them.
5. You are my little buddy. I love it when you invite me to ride bikes with you or go roller blading. I love spending time with you.
6. You have determination.When we got our Disney Annual Passes one of the first times we were at California Adventure we were on the pier across from the biggest scariest roller coaster there. I remember looking at you and asking if you wanted to ride that roller coaster you instantly said NO WAY! I walked away from you so I could take your brothers to see Mickey Mouse. While we waited in the line you were only a few feet away staring up at the roller coaster. As soon as we finished with Mickey Mouse (less than five minutes) you came to me and told me you were ready to ride the coaster. You just needed time to work out in your head if you could do it. Once you determined you could you were ready. Now California Screaming is your favorite ride. One day you decided you wanted to learn how to ride roller skates, so you put them on and you did you learned how. Pretty fast I might add. A month later you decided that you wanted to learn how to ride roller blades. You put those puppies on and there was no stopping you. Everyday after school you would put the roller blades on and practice. Now you are awesome at roller blading.
7. You pick things up really quickly and are willing to teach others. When you were 5 1/2 years old you learned how to ride a bike. Dad taught you really quick by telling you the secret to riding a bike. The secret is eyes forward and petal fast. That is exactly what you did and you were off. The next week our next door neighbor Sam was playing outside with you. You sat him up on your bike and told him the secret to riding a bike. You pushed him off on his way and taught him how to ride.
8. You are so smart. Math is your favorite subject. You pick it up so quickly and love learning new concepts. You are your father's son. You did so great in school this year. Keep it up!
