ashton's first trip to the beach

we're in florida for the next 11 days. ashton went to the beach for the first time and loved it.


i love this picture so much!




david, ashton, and zachary


i love that ashton loves water so much...


in between waves he would watch the birds or people walk by...


lol...


i actually used my off camera flash for these. i love the look much better than direct flash from oncamera.


i just need to learn how to make it look more natural i suppose.


either way, i am still very please with it. i even used flash on this one.


and this one.


i wish i could have recorded how excited he became every single time water touched him.


some days i can't believe this is my family. i love them so much!


he ran his fingers through the sand several times, before he...


grabbed a handful of it (uh-oh)... annnnnd


that's right.. ate it..


but that's not all..


he did it again!


apparently sand tastes delish. who knew.


(lighting was all wrong with this picture, but ashton had sand all over his face and mouth.


sleepy. we had a long day. (almost missed our flight too).


they look like sugar coated feet. yummm!


my chubster! full of sand no doubt.


up and away.


ending our day by sharing giggles with daddy...


::sigh:: i love these two soooo much!
