Turning 30

This past Wednesday Jenn turned 30, and the Saturday before she was greeted with a surprise party. I told Jenn that was I taking her out for a fancy birthday dinner and that her best friend Anessa offered to babysit Thomas. Jenn and I dressed up, and drove Thomas over to Anessa's house, where there was a surprise party waiting for her!
As mentioned above, Jenn turned 30, but her brother-in-law, Steve turned 40, and her cousin-in-law, Melynda turned 30 also (all 3 birthdays are within a week of each other). Since so many people were hitting mile-stone birthday's, the party was combined and named a 100 year celebration (30+30+40=100).
The first surprise was Steve, 30 minutes later, I walked Jenn in the door and 30 minutes after that Melynda walked in. Here are just a few pictures from the evening, graciously planned by Anessa, Leia and Holly.

Orange You Glad...

These two little videos are from Saturday morning in the Ash's backyard. As some readers may know, we have two orange trees in our backyard, and so Mommy and Thomas decided to go out and pick some of those oranges.

This is the first video:


This is the second video:



And, just in case some of you wanted a little laugh, here is a video I took last Monday (President's Day). Antonio (Jenn's cousin) and I went snowboarding up North at Snowbowl. You can identify Antonio because he's the one coming right toward the camera, and this was also his first day of snowboarding, so he'll just a little shaky.

To Sing or Not to Sing

Thomas was politely asked to sing the ABC song and here is the resulting video.




It became very obvious that the talented two year old singer was only performing when the camera was not on... but I knew you blog readers wanted to see the brilliant talent, and so this next video should please!

Turning Two (Video)

Hello blog readers. This video is a month old, unless you've subscribed to thedonash on YouTube. This video is from Thomas' birthday and it shows his amazing lung capacity as he blows out his candle.



As mentioned in previous posts, I'll try and begin posting more regularly as well as posting more videos and pictures.

Turning Two

I know that lately I've been a terrible blogger, and I wish I could give legitimate excuses, but you wouldn't be interested, and who cares- right?
The biggest event in the last several weeks has been Thomas turning two. Below are many of the pictures from his actual birthday (January 11) and pictures from his birthday party which took place in Oma's back yard.

Also I promise to post more pictures and more videos. Hopefully we'll get back into a nice, happy blog routine again.
