Easter

Last year we were waiting and waiting for this little bean to come on Easter... and this year... here he is! We spent Easter at the Stromback's house with the Zakaryan's too. Asher was, of course, spoiled by his grandparents with all kinds of fun gifts.
He loved being outside on the grass too!

loves for daddy

... and for Poppy!

He is risen... hope your Easter was blessed.

Having fun at home...

Contest to see whose gloves were better... what do you think?

Asher's Playground...

So this is wear they started on Saturday morning after Brent spent the entire day on Friday leveling and cleaning it up to be ready for the playset.

The Saukkolas come over for the day so Mark could help the guys. Elizabeth and Owen hung out with me and Asher... what fun!

Owen just turned 2!
He liked playing with Asher (whom he inadvertently called "Finn" many times!).

This was Asher's first time in the pool for the summer... I think he's going to love it!

Boppo joined the crew and spent some time with his little Bean.

They got pretty far with the building and Asher got to try it out on Sunday morning...
I think he loves it already.

Thank you Daddy and Poppy!

11 months of joy...

Ok, so to be totally honest they haven't all been so joyful but this month certainly has! We are loving being parents more and more all the time and as most parents, we think our little man is the BEST!! He is now crawling like a champion, shaking his head as if to say "no" except he doesn't know what he's saying, he eats all kinds of foods, he pulls up on all the furniture and cruises around the room holding onto things, he climbs the stairs ANY time they are within reach, and he opens cabinets and drawers with glee! He has become a champion sleeper and eater ever since we changed his formula and started with feeding him yogurt... and life has been amazing since then. Asher makes us so happy.

Keeping him from eating the sign is virtually impossible these days since he loves putting things in his mouth, especially paper!

He loves sitting in and climbing in and on his chair these days... he makes us laugh! Look at those faces. :)

Happy 11 months Asher Bean... we LOVE you!
