Laughs and Beaches

Asher had his 4 month checkup...a little while ago actually. He weighed in at a whopping 20 lbs 2 oz. They told me this is over the 100th percentile. This helps explain my sore arms! He is also 26 in long (75th percentile). We love our big boy! He has started laughing and Kason is one of the people he likes to smile and laugh at the most. This night Kason just made a random noise as he was getting ready for bed and Asher thought it was funny.




During Isaac's break we went to the coast. Kason gets so excited to go. I love going to the coast too. You can pretty much just pull off anywhere and there are sandy parts or rocky parts with tide pools. It's not too crowded since there are so many places to go. This was a beautiful sunny day and it was alot of fun.
On the way there, ready with bucket and shovel


I always forget something and this day it was Asher's hat, so he made do with Isaac's


The tide was coming in



This place is called Devil's Churn. The tide comes into this little channel of rocks and there are some pretty big splashes.

So pretty!


Asher relaxing in the shade (until a random wave came in and almost washed him away. Lucky for us, Isaac is quick) :)



Sandcastle building!

So much fun!

100's of sea lions.

It was a fun break. Isaac is back to school now, so here we go!

A Cause for CeLeBRaTioN!!

We are celebrating because Isaac has taken his last test and we found out a couple days ago that HE PASSED!! Whew! What a relief! So, he is officially in the Ph.D. program and we are here in school for 4 more years...wait...that's exciting...right? While it does seem like a long time, we are excited and think it is the right thing. I am so proud of the HARD work and COUNTLESS hours Isaac has put in over the last YEAR!! We are now going to EnJoY our 2 week break!

Everone is glad when Daddy's home when they wake up from naps
Matching!

We love summer and popsicles!


and bubble baths


This is how Kason holds Asher. He gets a pillow and more or less just lets Asher lay on his legs, but he is so proud when he does it. It is fun to see them getting more comfortable with each other. Kason is very aware of Asher and calls him "Asher baby". I love having him ask where Asher is and making Asher laugh, cuddling up to Asher on the floor, talking to Asher and trying to make him happy.

Asher is 4 months old now! He has his check up in a few days and I am excited to see what this boy weighs!


Ready for church
