Ashton's best friend Eli is just 1 day older then Ashton. Liz(Eli's mom) and I decided it would be a good idea to do a joint bday party for them since they have pretty much the same friends.
It turned out perfectly. Liz set up everything at her house in her neat backyard. Eli wanted to play some water kickball, and the kids had a blast with it.

Then after kickball, Liz brought out a bunch of white t-shirts for the kids. I had bought a bunch of squirters at the dollar store. Liz filled up four different buckets with water and added food coloring to them. The boys were drenched!
About the time they were finishing up soaking each other, the wind started to pick up. So instead of making snow cones like planned, Liz brought out hot chocolate. 
We moved inside about the same time Das showed up with pizzas and ice cream. After they ate, we lit the candles on the cake that Liz made.(Liz did so much! I am so thankful for her and helping out at this time in my pregnancy.)
It was then gift time! They got some awesome gifts. Thank you everyone for coming to Ashton and Eli's birthday party.
I still can't believe it has been six years since Ashton came into my life. He has been such a pleasant child from day 1. I wish they didn't grow up so fast. It really feels like yesterday when they handed him to me. I am so blessed to have him and thank my Heavenly Father every day for letting me be his mother.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG GUY!
WE LOVE YOU!
