Ashton Family Week 2010

isAnd we're off! we hit Costco for Tiffanni and Ruben because it was going to be closed when they got there and then waited in the parking lot for them. Beck was pretty excited because then that meant that he got to ride with Ashton...Day 1 we played on the big water slide that Stephen built... the rest of the Ashton clan that was there went to the rock slide.We also took a tiny hike on Day 1 to a water fall that we visit almost every other year or so. Stephen has pictures from when he was little at this very water fall (and also a picture of him with an ex-fiance that I have since gotten rid of) bless her heart of course...Paisley carried around her DORA chonies for most of the day. Her potty training is going well, with my fingers crossed.The day I turned 28!! August 3rd. I celebrated by jumping into the lake and we had scavenger hunts and birthday cake later that night for all the other August birthdays.

Ashton Family picture day=joy...
Look at all those grand kids! And they just keep coming... We missed you Bob and Ann who are on their mission serving in New York City.The Stephen Ashton Family 2010. Stephen 32, Paisley 2, Beck, 4, and Korbi 28The Ashton siblings; Todd, Tony, Tiffanni, Scott, Stephen, Joel, and StacyPaisley and Kylee and "the face"and the piggies...
Some of the pre-teen nieces swam all the way across the lake! We followed them in the boat and most of them made it without life jackets. They were pretty excited when they made it.
Yeah, we tend to pack em in...Beck loved driving the boat with dadAnd by the end of the week he actually asked us to take him tubing. Big change from last year.Paisley, not so much. Pretty much hated it and every time the boat slowed down to switch tubers/skiers/wakeboarders, she would say "me, no wa-wa, no" translation: "There is no way you are getting me in that water again!" She really enjoyed just floating around in her tube and life jacket back at the dock, she even fell asleep in it a few times!Rope caught under boat #2...

We stayed Saturday night with Tiffanni and Ruben and went and ate at a restaurant that is right by the cabin. We took the boat and thought we were going to get rained on on the way back, but we made it back dry. We had an awesome time this year at the cabin, as usual and can't wait for the Ashton Family Reunion 2011!

How do you keep track of all those people. I'm surprised you don't leave one or two kids up there when you leave. Looks like you guys had a great time. I heard from Diana and they are thinking Sept. 11th for the reunion. Not sure if I'll go or not. Twylla did talk to her 1/2 sister on Sat. and it went really well

Just catching up on your blog and I must say that you have a beautiful family! I'm glad you had a great birthday, I thought about you! Ellie talked about marrying Beck the other day when she was playing dolls with her friend, cracked me up.
