For the life of me...

I can't catch this girl smiling!

I swear right before this picture she had the biggest smile ever. I guess Justin and I need to double team her and see if we can make it happen since she'll only smile when she can see your eyes.

"You pretty!"

After I got Sis dressed Caleb saw her and said "Oooo, you pretty Babe." (something he says multiple times a day. super sweet.) Then he asked me "You take picture? Me come?" I was happy to oblige.

Caleb was standing behind me still saying "Ooooo, you pretty!" He must have said it 150 times in the 15 minutes we were doing this.

Sweet babies.

His silly side...

(Asher getting his sister to laugh by making funny faces and wearing her hat.)

This kids sense of humor cracks me up. Yesterday I cut an apple for his snack. Before he started eating he said he needed to go to the bathroom. As he was walking away he said (in a very concerned manner) "But Mom, while I'm gone my apple might start to DECAY!" I kind of just looked at him blinking. Then he said "I'm just teasing you, Mom. It takes a little longer then that!"

Another thing that I love is before he starts something (ie cleaning up toys or throwing something in the trash) I've heard him whisper to himself "I can do it. I'm a brave man!"

Asher, you're awesome!

Why, yes I do like the taste of my own hands...

Thanks for asking.

my eyes are welling, my heart is swelling...

seven years ago, today.
