First Day Of School

This week the kids went back to school. They were both really happy to be getting back. I must say that I am with them on that. It is nice to have a little break during the day and to know they are somewhere learning new things and having fun with their friends. But of course I do miss them. It is also nice to get some time alone with Asher. This year Riley is in first grade and Baylee is in third. Baylee keeps telling me that she can't believe that she is in third grade. Her teacher is about to have a baby so she is going to have a sub for most of the year if not all. Last year her teacher was pregnant too, although she wasn't due until the beginning of the summer. Hopefully all will go well for them. It always seems to work out for the best. I am really sad that summer is over and fall is on its way. If it could be summer all year long that would be fine with me.

One year pictures

Here are couple pics that we got done for the kids birthdays. We had some more done at picture people which turned out a little better. It was not easy to get a good picture of the three together, but we actually had a fun time doing it.

Slide

On our latest visit to a play gym, Asher discovered the slide. He really loved going down it.

Happy First Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

July 27th was Asher's first birthday. We celebrated with friends and family at our house with swimming and BBQ. Asher got lots of cool stuff that he has been playing with. Nana, Papa, Emily and Rebecca came all the way down here for the special day. We were all happy to have them here for the week. I will have to update on his stats after his one year doctors appointment. We have to wait for his doctor to get back from his vacation. He is still crawling and seems to be a ways from walking yet. I will keep you all updated on that.

Happy 4th Of July!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy 4th of July. The kids and I went to an early morning parade and BBQ in our cities mission district. It was really hot, but the kids had a great time and everything was free which is fun for me. They had hot dogs, chips, soda, snow cones, watermelon. Hope you all have a great 4th.

Star Wars Party

Riley celebrated his 6th birthday Star Wars style.

Red Carpet Movie Night Birthday

Sorry I haven't posted in so long. Here are some pics from Baylee's eighth birthday party.

Just a couple of cute pics we just had to share. Things have been pretty busy around here. I have been planning three birthday parties, plans for going to two weddings, vacations, anniversary, teacher week, etc.. I feel like everything is happening in the next two months. Asher has been cutting three top teeth which have been keeping him up at night. Hopefully they will come through soon. I could use the sleep.

No More Ba Ba Black Sheep

I don't know what it is but every time we sing Ba Ba Black Sheep to Asher he shakes his head no.

Spring Break

For Spring Break the kids and I flew up to Reno to visit Nana and Papa. Daddy had to stay home and we all missed him a lot. We had a great time. Our favorite part was horseback riding at lake Tahoe. The kids all loved the airplane ride and Asher was a perfect little guy the whole way.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to all our family and friends. We all had a really great day together seeing what the Easter Bunny brought us, going out to brunch, hunting for eggs and swimming. Yes the kids just could not wait to jump in the pool. It was a really hot day so they enjoyed a swim. Asher did great at brunch. I was a little worried because most times eating out is not so much fun for him, or I. But we could sit outside and we were right next to a fountain that had lots of ducks to look at. It was a huge buffet with everything you could ever want, from crab to waffles, to salmon, and plenty of candy, ice cream, cookies and cakes. Hope everyone enjoyed the day and Happy Spring!!!!!!!!

Asher

I can sit up now!!!!!!!!!!!
I learned about a week ago, but mom has been slacking lately on the blog. (We keep her sort of busy).

Happy Half Birthday To Asher

Today is Asher's six month birthday. We celebrated with lemon cake, which got kind of stuck in the bunt pan (that's what I get for doing the low fat recipe). But it tasted really good. Asher is doing great. We go to the doctor next week so I will know his stats then. He seems huge to me. He still isn't sitting up yet but I think soon. He is taking wonderful naps and goes to bed without a problem. His best time is in the morning, he is so happy and easy going then. I think he is going to be a wonderful morning boy just like his big brother.

Scooter

Ski School

During our winter vacation we went skiing. ( a special gift from Nana and Papa). Baylee, Riley, Emily and Rebecca all took a ski class and learned to ski. They all had so much fun. Thank you Nana and Papa.

Happy Birthday Papa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to you papa. We had a great time with you and Nana this last week at your house. We miss you so much and hope that someday we can be closer again. Have a wonderful birthday.
