Happy 1st Birthday Easton!!!

{With Love - Ash}

It will be one year in September that we were celebrating with Jan and Mike at Lola's first birthday party.   Jan pulled me aside and told me the news, they were expecting baby #2!!   No one really knew yet, but she had to let me know that they were definitely doing a birthstory.     Fast-forward nine months and one year and VOILA~Here is Easton.   Easton and his entire family (yes there is one more on the way) have become an extension of my own heart.   Watching these guys grow as a family and grow up is one of the best perks of my job.    Easton is having a farm themed birthday party, so I went out to scout locations and find the perfect barn setting.   Mike and Jan even made the super cute cow cake themselves!!   Very crafty, you two!   :)    

 I just love this family.   More and more each time.  

The wind was in full force that day!!!!   We rocked it to our advantage the best we could!   

And time for a little walk down memory lane.....
Here is the last year in a nutshell:

Easton + Lola: Growing Every Day

{Ash-a-ley}

This family has grown.   We have been there all along the journey.    Lola's entire first year was captured by my camera.  While celebrating a big milestone for Lola, her first birthday, we received the news that Jan + Mike were expecting baby #2.   They had not shared the news or made it facebook official, but they knew one thing was certain, they were doing a BirthStory.   Soon enough, we were there to meet Itty Bitty Easton.   My mouth dropped as I saw him for his 6 month photos.   He was as cute as could be with his chubby little cheeks, his big blue eyes, and his heart melting smile.    Lola was so excited to show me her little brother, and even sang me her own version of the wheels on the bus which went a little something like this:

The Ash-ee on the bus goes

click, click, click

click, click, click.

The Ash-ee on the bus goes click, click click....

All thru the town.

Yeah, I guess that is what happens when someone grows up in front of the camera.    :)    Regardless, made me feel very special, and this family will ALWAYS have a special and sweet spot in my heart.  -xo

 Oh-mahhhhhh-----goodnesssssss!!!!!!    I can't take it!  So cute!!!!!

And this might quite possibly be the sweetest thing ever.    If I am ever having a bad day, I think this may be my new go-to thing:
