Seaside!!

My family came up for this week of Thanksgiving to take us to a time share on the coast. We are having alot of fun. Isaac is having a crazy time with school right now. Come to find out the first year is not the hardest - it's the second year. So, 7:30 am to 8pm days at the school and then grading until we go to bed have been the norm. It's just unbelievable and very frustrating! Hang in there Isaac! He hasn't been able to make it up here yet so, Isaac, here are some of the things we have been up to!

Our View - it has been surprisingly good weather for this time of year.

Relaxing
Playing on the beach.

Eating lots of yummy food

More playing

Kason got the carousel to himself and LOVED it!



More fun to come....
I love this time of year and am glad for the reminder to be more grateful. I am grateful for our families, Isaac, our kids, health, prayer, the gospel, and just how blessed we are -the list could go on and on. Happy Thanksgiving!

This n That

1. Kason is potty training!...slowly! He actually is doing an amazing job. He is such a smart boy and I really don't have to do much, he just figures things out by himself. He is pretty proud and excited and likes to lift his shirt up to show his underwear to just about anybody. So, the following pictures are an example of what we see running around all the time. It is nice to be out of diapers, but it also makes me realize how convenient diapers were when we would be out doing errands and such. Good job Kason!

2. Halloween - a little late. Kason was a caterpillar and Asher was a giraffe - thanks to some friends who let us use their costumes! I don't get really into Halloween, but Kason had a fun time going around and dressing up.




3. These boys are getting to be pretty good friends. Right now they are getting to spend alot of time at home as we have all been sick. (but, this has been good for the potty training). So, here's Asher with 2 ear infections, poor guy.

4. Asher is 6 months old now! I feel like the first few months went by really slowly and the last few have gone by really quickly. Asher is a pretty happy guy and his smile is always a big open mouth grin. I love his blue eyes and of course, his rolls. He has a really good temperament and loves to be held. We are still working on sleeping through the night and sitting up. I'm so glad I get to see this face when he wakes up from nap:
