Poor little guy

This is what my little boy has looked like for the last week. Actually, this is the best he has looked all week!

 This pic was taken on Thursday,  the 5th day of fever, when he finally got out of bed and moved around a little.  He missed a week of school and has been really, really sick.

Even though he started feeling better today, he's not back to normal.  We are hoping to have our spunky and  active little guy back soon.

There's only one problem now,  my throat is starting to really hurt and I'm not feeling so great!

Spookiest time of the year

You're pretty scared, right?!

 Ash has been wearing these teeth for about a week.  

Needless to say, he leaves a trail of droop wherever he goes.

Happy Birthday!

Has it already been 5 years?

This little guy adds so much fun and silliness to our lives. We are so glad he is part of our family.

5 Things I LOVE about Asher:

1. That he always wipes off kisses. AND that he wipes off his lips after he kisses you! Such personality!

2. The silly faces he makes and his contagious laugh.

3. How he takes care of his little sister, and admires his big brother.

4. His snuggles.

5. His energy and imagination.

Happy Birthday to our big 5 year old.

We sure love you, Asher!

Two Masterpieces

The other day Asher and Liv painted...




mostly on each other.

back to school

School started last month, but since I'm so behind, here are the first day pics. Asher is doing a joy school with some friends from church. He is having a lot of fun and doing really well.
Micah started 2nd grade. That is so crazy! He was really excited to get back into school. He has a great teacher and is doing awesome with his reading. He comes home with a new book in hand daily.
Hopefully they will both continue to be excited about school and have a fun year.

Just like dad

A few months ago I started noticing something different about Asher's eyes...

Do you see what I'm talkin' about?(Okay, this is an exaggerated picture, but seriously, I noticed one of his eyes was crossing slightly)


Since we have been throught this before...

and there is somewhat of a history of eye problems, (Dudi's legally blind & two of my brother's had issues, but that's a side note... it's totally Dudi's fault:) I made an appointment.

You can imagine Asher's excitement.
Yes, excitement. His dad and his big brother both have glasses, so yeah, he wants to join the ranks of men in glasses.
You can imagine my frustration. Micah had the same problem. Micah was 5 though. Asher is 3, just like his dad was. Here we go again, the battle of trying to keep those things on his face and in one piece has just begun.
But he looks so darn cute in them...

Quote of the day

Asher: Mom, can we go get some McDonald's happiness (Happy Meals)?
