All Aboard!

The weekend was great. We had a fun family outting and friends over Saturday. I wish the weather would just stay this way!

Thomas himself--I have to admit it was pretty impressive

and... well, it's just a random, cute shot of Asher from the weekend. Standing alone is his party trick right now!

Spring has Sprung!

We're so excited about the long and mild days we've been blessed with lately. It seems like we have something fun planned for every weekend Mark is off. This weekend we're going to see Thomas the Train at the railroad museum. We get to ride a real train! I'm way more excited than Asher. I've been told the ride is beautiful in the springtime.

I just love this time of year! Here is a picture of some baby birds that just hatched by our backdoor. Their mommy made a nest in my hanging Southern Living bucket.

This is How We Roll!

Asher has finally graduated to a front facing carseat at the ripe age of 13 months and 4 days. Most babies are big enough at thier first birthday to have thier carseats turned around, but not our little guy. He really may be a few ounces shy yet of the 20 lb requirement, but he's so close it hurts. (There's no accurate way for me to check at home.) Rear facing was beginning to be very uncomfortable with his legs crunched up. Not to mention, staring at the back of a seat isn't exactly stimulating for an active boy like himself. We're so excited for him, and it's so fun to look back there and see his smiling face! It's a wonderful surprise everytime! (BTW, please note his thugaliciousness...sunglasses, flip phone, seersucker, AND being chofferred in his SUV.)

My Sweet Little Boy

At first glance you might think this is a sweet picture of Asher and his puppy-dog eyes. Though that is true if you look closer there is a little blue around his mouth.

Now look at these below. These are Crayola's new Crayon creations for toddlers. Being the therapist I am I thought they were cool. You hold them in your palm and scribble. Perfect, right! Well, against my expectations he didn't think they were all that cool. So to rid himself of them it was apparently easier to just eat them! The Tadoodle on the left is the way it's suppose to look. The one on the right is the way it's suppose to look if you take a bite!

These are a few of My Favorite Things...

Some happy things in our household according to Asher:

Pancakes

These happen to be chocolate chip

Fischer-Price Laugh and Learn House (Strongly recommended)

& Pacifier (Also strongly recommended:)

"Cleaning" the Pantry Out

Jack

aka "Dyah"

Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches

He can seriously eat two minus crust

Push-Toy

It's how he cruises the house. I do mean house!

And

Mommy and Daddy's favorite?...Asher, of course!

Ruby Jane is on Her Way!

Conner is on the Right

The Lott's are anticipating the phone call saying Ruby Jane Cochran has arrived. She is the daughter of a best friend and roommate of mine from college. Conner is being induced now, but doctors don't expect Conner and Jason's bundle of joy to get here until late tomorrow. We've learned from experience that the doctors don't always know though. We'll lift up lots of prayers tonight and tomorrow for Conner's safety, Ruby Jane's health, and Jason's sanity! I know the Lord is going to bless them!

Happy Belated Easter

Easter is such a joyous holiday that seems to easily get brushed over in our day to day lives. We're so blessed to have a Saviour that is alive. No other religion in the world has redemption of sin like Christianity. Praise God!

Asher wasn't feeling well for a lot of our Easter weekend. He had his one year shots that Thursday, and he was doing some major teething. Here are a few random shots from our Easter weekend though.

A lazy Sunday: this is how Asher spent most of his Easter. He's such a man-child!

The ONLY Easter picture:( He was not feeling well and cried most of the day.

Enjoying the nice weather outside during a break from feeling bad.
