Asher's First Birthday Party!

Balls!

He didn't quite get the opening present thing, he definitely preferred just playing with the balls!

He loves his Car from my parents!

Love her!

Most amazing brownie's EVER! I will put them on my food blog soon.

For Asher I made a little chocolate cake with a whipped cream frosting.

Normally his personality would be to dive right in, but it was way past his bed time, so he wasn't as interested.

He really just wanted that strawberry!

My Asher turned 1!!! (In November)

Asher is the most adorable little thing! Here he is giggling and playing with his Gigi. As soon as Asher turned about 6 months, he stopped being a calm, tranquil, zen baby and started to be an enthusiastic, energetic ball of fire! He is a little whirling dervish who is on the move at all times. Even while he is drinking a bottle, he has to be standing and bouncing while I hold his bottle and trying to change his diaper is a full on workout. He also found a paci in the kitchen drawer, which he must empty at least 5 times a day. I had been trying to get him to take a paci for months and he was not interested at all. Then as soon as he started getting wild, he found one and has refused to take it out ever since, which is nice because it has a bit of a calming affect on him. He started walking a couple weeks before he turned one. He is obsessed with his Daddy! His first words were mama and ball. He can now say butterball, which is Mitch's nickname for him, so funny! He loves to dance, he loves music and he loves playing with his big brother and sister. His favorite thing to do all day is kick a ball around, he can dribble it around all day long! It's the first thing he says when he wakes up. And he laughs all day long! We can't imagine our world without him!

Halloween

So, this year we had Captain America, a Swan, and a baby Owl. This was the first year I actually made two of the costumes and it was actually really fun, I might have to do that again next year! We had such a fun Halloween this year and I can't get over how adorable they all are! And thanks once again to Elise for taking all the photos at our home! She's amazing!

Our attempt at a family photo...oh and also, I made that Halloween sign with some of my friends one night. It is a chalkboard sign, so I will just erase and you will be seeing it at other Holidays! What an amazing idea, right? Thank you Pintrest!

Asher has a daddy who sure loves to play

Mitch is doing the 360 Air with him right here!

We went to our church Halloween party on Saturday and the kids ran around like crazy with all their friends.

Showing her cute little tail feathers

We also had a little Halloween party at Mitch's office.

Love the side view of her cute little feathers!

Their favorite thing to do on Halloween is pass out the candy. They are so funny, we got home a little late, so there weren't many trick-or-treaters. So, they gave handfuls to each kid and they were soliciting kids to come over, saying "we've got candy here", "Come get your candy". Then Jade saw a few adults walking up the other side of the street and said, "we have lots of candy, come get some candy" And one women said, "no that's ok, you can keep your candy." And then Jade yelled, "but we're gonna throw up!" (I always tell her that if she eats too much candy, she will throw up- because maybe it happened once!) Anyway, it was hysterical!
