Caleb bit me...

Well, Asher was trying to share his snacks with Caleb. I told him that Caleb is still too little to eat fish crackers, but Asher still kept pretending to feed them to him. Caleb doesn't have any teeth so it wasn't hurting Asher at all, but after we saw these pictures it reminded us of the hilarious "Charlie bit my finger" video. Enjoy.

Brothers...

Caleb likes Asher's blanket, Bah-Bah, but it's the one things that Asher REALLY doesn't like to share.
Asher was having his snack on the couch and I put Caleb next to him. I went to go get the camera and when I turned back around they were holding hands!
I just really love how much the boys are interacting these days! 

Smile...




Ashy is getting good at making silly faces!

Caleb's sweet skills...


Pablo! Tyrone! TASHA!!


These pictures make me happy. I love seeing Asher having fun being a little artist! Justin printed him some pictures of the characters from The Backyardigans, our favorite kid show. He did a great job coloring them. He loves them so much he even had to take Tasha to bed with him that night.

Little brothers are the best...

Asher is great at helping Caleb when he is sad.
But he really likes to play silly games and make his little brother laugh!

"Stickies"

Asher's great aunt gave him lots of stickers aka "stickies" and he has found some pretty fun things to do with them. His favorite of which is to stick them all over Caleb. I though it was pretty smart because the first time he was putting one on Caleb I asked him "which one goes on Caleb?" and he said "Guido Baby." Guido is the smallest car in the Movie CARS and Caleb is the smallest baby in our family so we thought it fit pretty well.
He also put them on his fingers and said that he had "Bandaid owies!"

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!

Jump...



We've got another jumping bean in the family. Caleb likes the doorway jumper as much as Asher did.

Yumm-o!

Today I made my sister-in-law's fantastic snickerdoodles. It pretty much took me all day because I kept getting interrupted by some pretty cute and needy children, but it was really fun. Thanks, Lisa, for sharing your recipe! It sure makes a lot. Good thing the boys liked them so much.

Ashy...

Asher's pretty happy because he can get in and out of the big chair all by himself now. 
The other day I made a little personal pizza on whole wheat flat bread with a little sauce, ham, pineapple and parmesan cheese for Asher. I'd have to say Pizza is his favorite food... just like his daddy.

Asher Mckay...

This picture was taken months ago, but I've just been thinking about it and how much it truly captures Asher's personality. He is calm and observant. He has still moments throughout the day amongst his joyful energy. He gives me this great look all the time of recognition. Like he knows me. I'm his mom. It's funny to think that there is someone out there (now two someones...) that when they think of their mom, they are thinking of me! So cool. And, last but not least he loves those fingers and that blanky! Just mom thoughts that I wanted to write down :)

Spider...

It's time for yet another song. Asher really likes the spider song, but really only likes it when his daddy sings it (don't worry, I'm not offended...). Anyway, he was getting tired and, like his mommy, as soon as he gets sleepy he's done! But pretty cute anyway. Enjoy.

The big C

Caleb is getting so big and strong.
I love it when their personalities really start to shine through!
