We had our first kiss on the Monday before Easter and as typical in the Ashton family by Wednesday we had already talked marriage. Just so happens on that same day my brother Jake had my nephew Jed call me and ask if I was coming down to St. George for Easter. I decided that if I could talk David into making the drive with me I would be there. David said yes and early Saturday morning we were in the car. Jake, Susie, Mandy & Jason completely spoiled us that weekend and were so much fun that David wanted to be apart of the fam ASAP. It was funny because that Saturday as soon as my sis-in-law Susie had me alone for a minute she said "So, when are you guys getting married?" I said, "WHAT?". NO ONE in my family knew that David & I had already seriously talked about marriage... she then told me we just looked like we should be married. I laughed it off. Then David that afternoon told me he was thinking sometime in July. Well on that Easter Sunday my older brother Abe came over and heard that everyone thought we were getting married so he basically tackled me to the ground asking me when we were getting married. I tried to tell him we weren't and then he pulled David & I over to a calendar and said, "When are you guys thinking because I'm going to NY end of July for sure." So David & I looked at the first couple weeks of July and chose the 7th just like that.
We always say that was the weekend we REALLY "fell in love". Some of our favorite memories were the guys going to the store at midnight to buy a pellet gun and then playing target practice on the balcony. The karaoke competition. Mandy making an Easter basket for David. Playing Greed and staying up till the wee hours of morning.
And here is the picture from Easter Sunday of 2006. We weren't even officially engaged yet!
And here is the famous Easter bunny cake of 2006. I had to make it for the family seeing as Mom & Dad were in WA on their mission still.
And here is the new and improved cake with pink ears. I was smarter this year and made a chocolate bunny. And Happy 4-month birthday Ashton! We'll call this your cake!
And as Cally, Abbey & I like to say. HOPPY EASTER everyone!

Memories. That was a fun time!
PS this reminds me that I was trying to teach Eld how to play Greed and I wished you two were here to play with us! (Ashton probably can't play that yet, huh...) You can really learn a lot about a person by playing Greed. That's how I knew David was the right one for you haha : )
I love your story, you crack me up. Is your whole family like you?
oh, and LOVE the bunny cake -making skills,
!!

What a cute story, I can just see your family doing that, and what a great story you can remember each Easter! What a cute bunny, and I don't know that I've ever played Greed... maybe someday when we get to see each other again we can play!
I've never heard that story! You guys are so cute. You sound like such a dynamic couple! I can't wait to meet up with you guys in the Big D. :)
OH! I was in the Dr. with Nicci yesterday when you called, i'm sorry i missed it! I'll call you back this afternoon :)
You two didn't waste any time did you! ;p cute family.
and did you say CAKE! (that's all I need but man I want cake now) Looks good.
How are you related to St. George? You aren't from there, are you? Your stories are so funny, they really give me a good laugh. I still can't believe I missed the most exciting play group ever just to be on a cruise, I'm totally depressed about it!
You sure didn't waste any time, but you two look like life couldn't be better. Happy Easter!
