Asher turns 7

Today my sweet little Asher turned 7. 
He is getting so big.
He was a real trooper today.  We have been on vacation for the last week and drove home today.  What should have been a 5 hour car trip, ended up being a 9 hour drive because of traffic.  We stopped for dinner and then got home around 7 p.m.  That means he waited all day for presents because we were planning on being home early so I didn't bring them.
  We did finally make it home and he was thrilled to open presents and play...all night (He is still awake putting lego sets together with Micah as I type this and it is 11:56pm!  We promised him he could stay up as late as he wanted...I never thought he'd last this long!). 
Tonight he kept saying, "This is the best birthday ever!" I'm sure glad he thought so because I don't think I'd feel that way if I spent all day in a car!  We are celebrating it with friends tomorrow, so that was the only thing that made me feel better about the whole day!  He is such a sweet boy.




7 Things about Asher that I LOVE!

1.  He is the biggest tease, with the biggest heart.
2.  He adores, ADORES his baby brother (I heard him telling Jude today, "I love you so much.  You don't know, but I love you more than anyone else loves their baby." 
3.  His dimples.
4. He is all boy.  Rough and tumble, dirt and mud. 
5. He loves to play---anything.  He is our little soccer star.  One of the things I love is the faces he makes, especially on the soccer field after scoring-it's priceless!
6.  He has a caring heart.  He feels sad when he knows others are sad.  He has a very caring and sensitive side.  He is a big helper too.
7.  He is a momma's boy...and I love it! He loves to have me come to school for lunch, to help in his class, or wherever. 

We love you so much, Asher.  You are such a special part of our family!  Happy Birthday.
(He just came over and curled up on the couch...I think he's already asleep).

Well, Ashey, here's a BIG BIRTHDAY HUG from Grandma marcia & Grandpa Dan!!!!!!! It was great talking with you ON YOUR BIRTHDAY on the phone as you were playing with your Legos in the evening. And I'm glad you enjoyed that shopping trip next day with your Dad to pick out another set. I doubt a kid can ever have too many legos! :) [well maybe...but you're not there yet!]
