Happy 13th birthday, Ashton.
13!
Dear Smash,
You have provided us with hours and hours of fun and laughter.
You are a strong, young individual with a heart of gold.
There are so many things about you that we love.
We enjoy watching your mind work.
It seems already (from an early age) that you have a keen business sense.
One of the traits we admire most about you is the way you naturally reach out to someone who may feel left out of a group or who may be bullied. This kind trait began even before your elementary school days.
With you, there is always a surprise in store; something happening, perpetual motion. We enjoy that added bonus in the family.
This will be a fun birthday for you and one to remember.
We love you.
We feel blessed to have you for our son! Happy, happy day.
Happy Happy Birthday Smash! We love you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SMASH!!!!!!!!!
You really do have the gift of laughter--not only to laugh at the things that come your way, but to make others laugh as well.
I can't believe that you are a teenager!! Wow-- time has gone by so fast.
I'm really looking forward to seeing what the next few years bring you, and to see the wonderful young man you are turning out to be.
Love you Smash! Hope that today brings you the best!
