Easter

Instead of dealing with all the drama of an organized Easter Egg Hunt we decided to have on at our house.  The Weather turned out awesome, even though we are all wearing jackets. 

Yup that is Ammon and Jaxon in the background. 

Asher enjoying being outside.

I Love this picture. Pure excitement about finding an egg.

This is how Asher enjoys his Easter Eggs

Sweet little Tess with her eggs.

Liam and his very full basket. 

Leslie and I may have went a bit overboard for two kids, but it was fun and only half the eggs were filled.

You know it’s good when fingers are licked.

 

Easter Morning we woke up to our own little hunt. We tried to hide Liam’s eggs so he had to actually look for them.  It was hard for him not to get the ones that I laid in the middle of the room for Asher.

The boys each go their own chair. 

Liam got the movie Cars, a shirt, Sunday pants, and a few toys

Asher got Mulan, 2 new shirts, a new tie, bubbles and a book.

 

I am quite upset with myself for not taking a family picture on Easter. We all looked fantastic, but with it being fast Sunday and one o’clock church we just wanted to eat and to eat we had to change our clothes.  You’ll just have to trust me.

10 months

It’s true, Asher is another month older.  Sometimes I think he is so big and other times he seems too small to be doing all he’s doing.

 

Asher 10 months:

• Stands up without holding onto anything. Does this quite often and for longer periods of time.
• Hair is growing but he still looks bald.

• His top teeth have been threatening to break through for a month now.  He still only has two teeth.
• Finally knows how to go downstairs.  It’s quite scary to watch, but he hasn’t fallen yet.
• Decided to venture off the blanket while we are outside, he doesn’t really like grass so he hurries really fast to the sidewalk.

• Waves to a select few people.
• Gets very excited about eating banana’s
• Just getting over the worst diaper rash he’s ever had (thanks to mom’s stupidity…I gave him, more than once, cheesy potatoes that had cream of mushroom soup and sour cream in it.  What was I thinking?)

• Always has something in his mouth.  I’m not talking about a piece of something from the floor, it’s a toy or a cord, but usually a shoe.  He’ll crawl around with it just hanging out.
• Likes to chew on shoes, which is gross.  I can’t even think about what he’s put into his mouth.

• Easiest way to make him laugh is to raise him up in the air and then bring him down, you don’t even have to throw him, but that also gets a good laugh.
• Definitely thinks his brother is pretty cool.  Loves to be where ever Liam is.
• Loves the dishwasher.  It drives me crazy.

Love my little Asher-Masher

We’ve done this and that

Today I transferred pictures from my camera to my external hard drive so I thought I would share some.  

Every morning I feed Asher then set him down in his room and I leave and do whatever I need to do and Asher usually follows.  This particular morning I think I went back to bed.  After laying there for a while I realized Asher never came out of his room.  I went in to find him sitting on his night stand after he cleared it off.  He really thought he was cool.

Liam’s first sleepover with his cousins.  He even fell asleep, I was surprised. Of course, it was midnight.

Went to St. George in March where is was nice and warm.  This was Asher’s first time with grass. He loved being outside. 

We took Liam bowling for the first time and he LOVED it.  He had a very hard time waiting his turn.

 

This is at the Zoo.  Asher absolutely loves sitting forward in the stoller.

If you get to the zoo at the right time you will get to see the polar bear up close.

Asher got ahold of an orange.  He, of course loved it.  He pulled so many funny faces, here they are.

Love this one.

 

I don’t remember when or why I took this picture, but it sure is cute.

Helping dad vacuum the stairs.  This is the closest Liam has come to the vacuum in a while.

 

To make sure Liam doesn’t do anything crazy while I’m in the shower I let do whatever he wasn’t on my ipad.  This day he decided to watch Backyardigans.  I guess that wasn’t enough, because he was also watching Chuck and Friends on my phone.

And…it was my birthday.  Check out this cake my sister made.  It’s a smores cake.  Really it was a bit of everything cake. brownie, cookie dough, graham crackers, cheese cake, marshmallow, and chocolate icing through out.  It was extremely rich, but it was delicious.

 

That’s all.
