This has been an exciting week for some of our friends. Two couple-friends of ours welcomed beautiful, healthy bundles of joy to their families.

We praise God for these little miracles!
Yes, folks I'm enjoying myself a good helpin' of Crow. That's what I'm eating because after going to see Thomas last year at the train museum we swore we would not go back. It's simply too expensive for what it was especially with a one year old that slept through most of it. It was just foolishness on our part to even do it last year, but I get really excited about that kind of stuff.
Anyway, last weekend we went again. This time Asher completely enjoyed it. He thought it was so exciting to see Thomas. He "choo-choo'd" for the rest of day although he didn't care for the actual train ride. The train tables, jumper, and petting zoo made up for it though. I'm glad we went. We had a great time being together, but I can't lie. I'm mourning my $65! Come to find out, we could have enjoyed the festivities for free without the train ride (it's only 20 minutes and VERY slow!). I know what we'll be doing next year! :)
The Big Guy himself. His eyes even did that creepy back and forth thing like on the show!
Who knew you could feed a turkey?
Asher with his Daddy on the train. This is shortly before he was bored out of his mind and started climbing under seats.
The best part of all!
We've been terrible lately about updating that blog, but I did today with 2 great recipes. Just click here.
This Easter was filled with a lot of fun. Asher had 2 Easter parties, and a big egg hunt at church. Not to mention he rocked the seer sucker!
We continue to pray everyday that he'll grow up to serve his Risen Savior. 
I was looking on my friend Katie's facebook when I noticed she was a fan of "Cake Wrecks". Oh my goodness!!! I thought they were hilarious! If you'll notice I've added them to my favorite blogs, but if you'll look them up on facebook and view the "Best of" photo album I promise you'll laugh out loud especially if you read some of the comments people leave. Like why are these mohawked babies riding carrots?!?! Too funny!
By the way, I actually started cake decorating classes this week. I think it'll be fun. Maybe one of my creations will end up on cake wrecks!
* So I've been going through the cake wrecks blog. Go back to "Older Posts", and there are a lot to enjoy! I'm still cracking up, and my husband thinks I'm nuts!
Asher has been taking gymnastics since he was 16 months old. Here he is doing his favorite...the rings or bars or whatever else he can hang from! Thanks Ms. Angela for sharing pictures of our babies!
Jon-Jon that is. You know those sweet little once piece rompers that boys wear? They're also called short/longalls.
Well, I was fortunate enough today to actually catch one of the big consignment sales they have every spring here in Chattanooga. You can often get really good finds. It's a great way for me to get Asher nice clothes for daycare without spending a hefty price. We didn't find much today though except for a few one piece rombers or "jon jons". There were even some really pretty smocked ones for a great price. I quickly remembered Mark's request around 18 months that Asher stop wearing those "one piece outfit things". He thinks they look too babyish. Well, I still consider Asher a baby and miss those cute little suits. Besides, some of them are beautiful. I found one at Christmas that had a nativity scene smocked. Not even little Baby Jesus could change Mark's mind though! Too bad! I didn't buy any today either out of respect for my Manly Man husband. I know it's trivial, but it's just another reminder that my baby is growing up! Besides, what in the world is he going to wear for Easter? :)
