Two Years Old and the Giraffe

 Hard to believe how grown up he is!

Just look at how tiny he was!

Asher's 2nd Birthday!

 Can't believe my baby boy is already two years old! This year we were in Idaho the weekend before his birthday so we had a laid back  BBQ for all the family. This is actually the first birthday any of our family members have attended so it was fun.

The decorating crew

 The cupucakes (A word of caution...never buy frosting in a tube to save time. It works HORRIBLY, always make wilton butter cream and use a real piping bag and tip!)

Auntie Amy and the birthday boy!

 Great Grandma Edith and Asher

 Not sure what to do!

 Asher didn't nap that day and was SO TIRED!

 Since we'll be in Grandview for Alex's birthday he got a few presents then too.

I didn't get many pictures, but this is a smattering of what I did get. Gives you the idea anyway. :)

The Slip n Slide

 AKA the new "drinking fountain."

Sprinkler Weather

Today's accomplishments included shooting the new bubble guns and playing in the sprinkler. It was in the mid 80's by the time we got home from the store at 10:30! Loving this Grandview Weather!

 And then he was done...

 And then this one was done and we went inside for naps!

Christmas Day

What a lovely Christmas we had in the new house. Alex was so excited he was up 5 times during the night asking if Santa had come yet. Finally around 7am we let him go see what Santa brought. My pictures are kind of lousy this year. I was tired and put my camera on auto and just got what I got. The memories are still there though. :)

Santa brought Alex a wrecking ball truck with a building you can knock down over and over, just like he asked for!

Santa brought Asher his own guitar. He loves it.
Opening stockings. (If you didn't know what I look like rolled out of bed, avert your eyes. It's scary.)

Seth got an awesome recorder for his mac, from the Ericksons. Now they expect a CD... :)

Just scary.

Asher's tunnel

Bohemian chic?

"Hey Alex! What did you get?"
Got my kindle!

Alex got a video camera

Asher's microphone (We think he's going to be our musician)

Pie in a tunnel

Ready for dinner!

Yum!
