Some fun pictures...

I got to take some family pictures for our friends a few weeks ago. It was great to have such pretty people to photograph! Brynlee was not in the mood to hold still but she is sure adorable! Thanks guys!

Slide adventures part II

Here are some I took last weekend. Doing anything with daddy is way more fun!

Slide adventures part I

Justin took some fun pictures of Asher the other week out on the playground. He is getting pretty good at the big slide!

New pals...

Asher and his great Aunt Nancy! We got to visit her during the Thanksgiving weekend and had such a wonderful time!! Asher took to her right away and the two of them had a lot of fun. I was so happy to see that he felt comfortable with her so quickly. Aunt Nancy, thanks for all the thoughtfulness towards Asher last weekend. It really meant a lot to me.

This was at a really great park with Aunt Nancy and some of our friends. It's a good day for a little boy when mom and dad let you just lay down in the sand box.

So sweet.

Caleb update...

Caleb is almost four months old. Holy smokes!! He is just the sweetest little guy. You can always count on him for a smile. He is laughing now too. He loves to watch his older brother. (Side note: the boys wear the same size diapers. Funny huh.) Asher calls him "Calem" so it's become his nickname. He still loves to be swaddled up tight and takes wonderful naps during the day. He is getting pretty good at sleeping at night too. He only woke up once last night. He makes silly faces and giggles and is almost rolling all the way to him tummy. I love this age. He is really sharing his personality with us now!

Mama likes to snuggle the yummy smelling babies after baths!

Maybe I'm wrong, but I see a little devil in those eyes!

Okay, so one morning I was playing with Caleb and giving him kisses. Then I held him to my check so he could give me kisses. He started to suck on me and it made me laugh. We went about our morning and it wasn't until after I put him down for a nap that I realized he had given me a hicky!

Asher update...

Asher is learning and growing everyday! He surprises us all the time. He is really starting to love Caleb and includes him in things (family prayers, gets him his blanket so he won't be sad, and when he and I were driving home I said "Lets go see daddy" and Asher said "and Calem!") Asher is trying to be more independent (which is not always a smooth process) so we have some tantrums and hitting, but he understands the naughty corner and is learning how to make good choices and let us know what he needs. He is 20 months old today!! He makes my life so wonderful!

This is Asher's new sunday outfit. I think he is so handsome so I wanted to get a picture of him. He was very sad that I was taking the picture before I got him a drink of water.
Asher and his friend Adam. They had the time of their lives throwing every little toy they could find into the kitchen and then picking them all up and doing it again. Boys!

Asher now says "Cheese!" when I ask him to smile.

Asher in the huge pile of fall leaves. He didn't love it...

He wants to be just like Daddy!
