Ayson on March 8, 2010

Ayson at 5 weeks :)

Unfortunately, both kiddos were sick during the week and each child missed two days of school.  Luckily, Ayson was feeling better on his actual birth date.

Shadow was happy to have Ayson home on Monday and Tuesday!

Our primrose are blooming!!!

Happy Birthday, Big Guy!

Ayson now has a fully functioning cell phone with his own cell phone number :)  He was so excited to call us from his new number :)

Adding family members to his contacts

Ice cream cake - yum!

Card and gift time- thanks to the Grandparents, Kathy and Charlie, and Annie and Bob for sending Ayson a card!

Ayson testing out his radio to see what am radio stations he could pick up Thursday evening.

Addie completed another session of skating lessons and has advanced to the next level (will start again next November).  Until then, we will try to skate during the rest of the weekends in March before the rinks closes for the season.

On Saturday, Grandma Collene and Mike stopped by for a visit.  Adam cooked steaks and Ayson asked to learn how to cook his own steak in a cast iron skillet on the wood stove in the Boys room.

Seasoning the steak - not his favorite task :)

Meanwhile, Addie was setting up her horses :)

His first steak!

Checking the color - Ayson likes his burgers (and now steak) medium well.

Ayson was tired by the time Adam was showing Ayson how to clean the cast iron skillet

LOOK!  It snowed on Friday night and Saturday morning

A view from Ms Annie and Mr Bob's property where Adam and Ayson were finishing up splitting/cutting fire wood.

The line of snow on the mountain from the 2nd story window (complete with window screen) of our house :) 

Ayson received an award for his artwork this semester and his artwork is on display at the LaFayette Library - Congratulations, Ayson!!!!

Amy checked the library website and found the artwork from the high school!!!!  Lafayette library  Ayson created a digital drawing of his favorite dog from his video games.  Ayson's artwork is in the 3rd column and 3rd row :)  What a great surprise and great job, Big Guy!!!
