It's hard to resist...

Caleb is so scrumptious when he smiles while drinking a bottle. Even though it interrupts his dinner it's hard not to try and catch his eye to get that smile!

Step 1:

Asher likes to play in a sink full of soapy water! He sure is cute and likes to help. I wonder how long that wanting to help thing will last! He doesn't so much keep it in the sink, but I tell myself that he's just trying to help me with step one of cleaning the kitchen: Get everything wet and soapy!

Family outing...

Welcome back Spring, I missed you!!!

We were able to enjoy the beautiful evening as a family and go to the park to feed the ducks again.

Asher got quite a kick out of it. But, in the end he liked throwing the bread into the water and watching it float by better than giving it to the ducks.

Caleb and I had fun watching.

It's getting harder to take our self portrait these days! (Man, I need a good hair cut again.)

Then we went to the bridge to play "Pooh Sticks" for a little bit. That is for sure Asher's kind of game! He didn't want to leave.

A few times down the slide before we had to leave. What a great night.

Today...

Asher wore a tie. It was hilarious! He also learned how to climb all the way up the big yellow twisty slide by himself. His little friend Aubrey taught him that trick.

It was the first time with both the boys in the bike trailer. They had so much fun. Caleb was laughing so hard at everything Asher did. 

It was so sweet! I asked Asher to take care of Caleb while they were riding. He said he would and then he gave Caleb a little pat on the leg. What a blessing to have a good older brother!

Happy Easter...

Cousin Emily and Caleb. Thanks for inviting us again. Asher loved it!

"Cheeeeeese!"

My littlest sis...

I took some cute pictures of Liv the other day too. I can't believe she is so grown up! Asher talks about Livi (sounds more like Yivi) a lot. For a while he even had a picture of her right by his seat at the table and would look at it while he ate his breakfast.

One happy kid...

Asher got to go spend some time with his Grandma and Grandpa Carrier. They took the boys to the toy store. Asher loves his new "Big Lightning".

Caleb loves to look at it and touch it but I guess not sit on it!

Oh, and it gets worse as Asher tries to tell him "it's okay" and give him kisses.

One happy kid, for sure! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Congratulations!

I got to take some engagements of a friend of my sister and her fiance. It was a lot of fun. Thanks again guys!

I love it when they wake up happy...

My favorite thing to do...

One thing that I LOVE to do is spread out blankets and play in the sun beams that flood through our windows in the morning. I loved it with Asher and I love it with Caleb.

I can't get enough of those forehead wrinkles!

Seriously?! Is there anything cuter?

Have a good morning. We sure did.

Better late than never?

Now, this is embarrassing. The day we blessed Caleb I forgot to take any pictures of him. That night I left his blessing outfit out so that I would put him in it and take a picture the next day. Well, over four months later here it is. His chubby legs barely fit through the leg holes, but he didn't seem to mind.

Caleb's turn...

The other day Justin said something like "Remember when you were pregnant and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to love another one as much as Asher? Well, it's not a problem!" We love our little Caleb so much! He is soooooooooo smiley. He loves to jump, sing our goodnight song, clap, slobber on my face, snatch Asher's toys, make me laugh, army crawl all over the house, snuggle his silky blanket, play with daddy, and be the cutest little guy on the block. He is 8 months old and has such a fun, happy, easy going personality. 

This is Caleb with Cecil. No, it's really Asher's potty duck, but every time I send him flying through the air to land hard and quack for my toddlers enjoyment I think of my old friend Kay and her old friend Cecil.

Grandparents are the best...

This is Asher with his Grandma and Grandpa Carrier right after we dropped Uncle Spencer off at the MTC. I think Honey and Papa, and Grandma and Grandpa are who Asher talks about the most. Well, maybe second. Lightning and Mater are first of course.
