The Olde Ashton Family Blog

I ran across this today and found it to be funny, especially being a big Buffett fan!

“If the Phone Doesn’t Ring, It’s Me – Jimmy Buffett”

Here are a few pictures from our last trip down to Atlantic Beach, although we went to the pool more than we went to the beach on this trip for some reason.

Just in case you were wondering… Jamie was out cold asleep during the fun.

We promise that we are doing stuff with Jamie as well, but this week Taylor got her first real “Big Kids” Bicycle, and she loves it. She would ride it for ever if we let her.

She has been such a good girl lately, and they are only children once. What kid doesn’t need a bike, huh?

Taylor is starting her second year of school. This year she is in Pre-K and is very excited to see all of her friends from last year.

On my blog, “Thalia’s World” I used to do a feature called “Thursday’s Favorites”, a list of the kid’s favorite things at the time. It’s not Thursday, but this list is long overdue.

Taylor’s Current Favorites
Favorite Color Pink- no doubt
Favorite Show/Character-Lola Bunny In Michael Jordan’s Space Jam
Favorite Outfit-Whatever she chooses at the moment. She can now reach the clothes in closet and loves putting together new outfits during the day. Usually several a day!
Favorite Toy/Gadget – Her computer with Glubble browser for children. She loves playing American Girl games online and doing the beauty studios in Barbie My Scene. It makes for a nice activity to do in the heat of the day when she can’t play outside.
Favorite Craft-Cutting right now is her favorite but she loves any craft that we do

Jamie’s Current Favorites
Favorite Color-Still Undetermined (maybe Carolina Blue!)
Favorite Show-Thomas The Tank Engine
Mommy’s Favorite Outfit for him- His surfing polo shirt with tan cargo shorts
Favorite Toy/Gadget-He really loves his Darth Vader Mask and Carolina Pom Pom he uses as a sword/ light saber.
Favorite Craft-He just started using the glue stick to stick things but he also has made a couple of wall scribbles (not out favorite that is for sure!)
