New Accomplishments!

Asher got too big for the bassinet, so we sent that back to Nikki. Thanks, Nikki!


Aubrey falling asleep on the floor.


Asher got baptized, here he is on the big day.

Asher can grab his feet now.



Aubrey went ice skating for the first time for Kaylei's 7th birthday party.



We celebrated our 5 year anniversary!!! Yay!

The first bath 'together'.


Playing outside the morning of our garage sale--- first time selling the kid's clothing.



Kelsi and Kieli came over for dinner.



Asher decided to boycott the binky, much to my disappointment. I keep shoving that thing back in, and he keeps spitting it out. The fingers are awfully cute, though. I still keep trying the binky, though!!! Poor Asher, he didn't know what he was getting into with an SLP for a mom!

Aubrey has discovered the 'cutsie' poses.



Asher has learned how to blow raspberries. He is very good at it, frequently showering himself and those around him with his large spit bubbles. He loves it!!



He has also mastered the art of putting his feet in his mouth.

Asher went swimming for the first time. He seemed to like it all right, no big complaints.


Aubrey is back up to her stunts in the pool, still loving it!!





Asher 'eating' Brian!!!! Aubrey hitching a ride on Papa!


In 'her' big chair!



Asher can get both feet at once.

New Portraits!!!

I love this photo!! He is so happy and serene, and I love the folds around his wrist!


Our beautiful girl---looks much older than three.

What can I say? You just have to blow raspberries in this neck when you get the chance!!


Those eyes....
Yep, he's a happy boy!!

Spring is here!!!!

I promised there would be soccer pictures, so here they are!!!! Here are the budding Mia Hamm's and David Beckams of the world. Aubrey, Hunter, and Nathaniel.

The cheesy grin reappears.

Mass chaos!!!
She's actually a pretty good goalie. She may be good, but she also likes to play with her hair, sticker earrings, and talk to other children while she is playing goalie.
Asher getting ready for his first bath in the tub....it took forever for his umbilical cord to fall off. I was afraid I'd still be putting alcohol on that thing at the beginning of kindergarten!

Just lounging....he loves bath time!!!

Cozied up afterwards...

And looking all clean and pretty.
Our friend Carolina was born!!!
Close-up!!
Melody's got her hands full now!!! Doesn't she look awesome for just having a baby?!
Yikes! I can't imagine having twins!!


Moving through the processional at church on Palm Sunday...she's a little intimidated, but not too bothered by it!
She didn't quite catch on that everyone else had already sat down!
Lots of children for Palm Sunday!


These two love to cozy up in the morning and watch Dora!
Decorating a easter bag before the big hunt. Notice Asher in the sling I'm wearing--he tends to get a lot of attention when he's in there!!! I highly recommend getting one of these to anyone with a newborn.....when he's fussy I just put him in there and it's like he's in the womb...he instantly calms down and goes to sleep!

Annual picture of decorating the bag.
Making a stained glass butterfly!
Dying eggs.


We're on the hunt!
With her loot!
After church on Easter Sunday.
Family picture!
What handsome guys!!!
Brian wasn't so sure about his hair in this picture, but I think Asher kind of likes having variety in his hairstyle, and I think he looks smashingly handsome!!!

Playing!

Asher wasn't so crazy about this picture, he thought I was having a little too much fun with the camera. Oh, well.
