Two boys and Pumpkins

This is yet another long post of some of the fun things we have been doing.

We got pictures taken. Asher was 4 1/2 months.

Two cute boys.

This was before the rain started. The colors were beautiful! Now, it is just wet, wet, and more wet. These two are getting along pretty well. Asher loves to smile at Kason and this makes Kason pretty proud. He is always saying " He's smiling at me!" Kason is really good about running and giving Asher a toy whenever Asher is crying.

We went to a Pumpkin Patch. Kason was so excited to go, although I don't know if he was more excited to get a pumpkin or see the animals. This is his camera smile. I wish I could get him to do a real smile for the camera!

On the wagon ride to the patch

Pumpkins!

And the winner!

We all came home with about 5 lbs of mud caked to our shoes.


We've been keeping busy with friends. We all get together on Mondays for a playgroup. Kason loves his friends and I love it too. I am so grateful there is such a good big group of girls around here to have as friends. It makes Isaac's schedule so much better than it would be without them!

Carving the pumpkin. Kason didn't mind the goo at all. I think it is kind of gross.

Asher is getting even bigger! He is really a happy and smiley baby. Now, if I could just find clothes that would fit his waist and not be way to long. He'll always greet you with his big open mouthed smile. He is my big, bright blue eyed boy!

He has found his feet and loves to pull on his socks. I love his Chubbiness!

Kason's pumpkin. Oh, and this is just how Kason's hair goes. No matter what I do it just goes straight up on the top. We like it.

The finished product. Kason has affectionately named him Jack. I think this is from trying to explain to him that it is called a Jack o lantern now. I think Isaac did a pretty good job!

And this one is for Grandma. Thank you for the pajama's!

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

Anniversary

We had our 4th Anniversary! It was a great day and nice to be able to have a short break with just the two of us. Isaac is such a good dad and an amazing, funny, sweet, and thoughtful husband! Love you Isaac!

Montana

I think this just might be my l -0-n-g-e-s-t post ever!! We have had a great month. Isaac had a break in between tests so we took advantage of that and took a vacation! We went to Montana and enjoyed being together!

The boy cousins on the 4 wheeler with Grandpa. Kason loves loves loves those 4 wheelers.

So many fun things to do- like tractor rides!

We blessed Asher while there and it was really nice. He wore the same outfit Kason did, except we couldn't button one of the buttons. This boy is such a CHUNK!! I love it. He has rolls and rolls all down his legs to his cankles. He is just barely 3 months old now and is smiling and cooing and almost laughing. It is really fun.

We also went to Isaac's family's cabin in the mountains. It was a fun night of smores and a huge lightning storm! Kason was very interested in seeing some bears. We didn't see any bears though, just lots of deer!

Love those blue eyes! Kason's eyes were already brown by this point, so I am thinking they might stay blue.

Smiling!

Kason had so much fun with his cousin. It was pretty entertaining to watch them talk and play together, except when they were hitting each other. :) It was a good lesson in learning to share too. So many times a day we would hear "no, my have it!" back and forth. Kason still asks where Kade is everyday now though. We also were reminded again that Kason has no fear. He crawled under the barbed wire fence and ran as fast as he could out to the cows before we could get him, climbed on Grandpa's motorcycle, he keeps us busy!

I love this picture

I love this one too.

Slip n Slide fun

It was a good break, but good to be back too. Isaac is back to studying - one more test to pass. We are just enjoying the rest of the summer. It can't last long enough!
