Ava

Yesterday I was changing Asher's diaper and Ava said "Asher's legs are chubby." Then she studied me for a minute and said "Your legs are looking kind of chubby too, Mom."

Touche, Asher.

Last night in the bath Asher started throwing water at Ava with a big cup. I scarcely had taken the cup out of his hands and he had the shampoo bottle submerged with the cap open so as to dilute it. I removed all other "ammunition" including cups, shampoo, and soaps. He immediately announced that he peed in the tub.

Asher Quotes

I will never tire of Asher's sweet little voice and speech impediment. Or his sweet little observations ("I see a baby cow and it has black and it has white and he is eating his favorite soup!") . Or made-up words ("Mom! This is where I sitted lasternight!").

So I regularly take videos of him talking. I will miss it when he grows out of all that cuteness. He turned 3 last saturday. And sitting on a bar stool at Grandma's house, eating cupcakes with the family, he said "Look!!! I'm having my party!".

our house...the before video

hey guys, here is our house. They are small rooms, so it was hard to get back far enough so you could actually get a good view of the room. It looks quite different now.

Also- I'm available to narrate your home videos. Or your professional videos. Whatev.

Today's the greatest

shed building day. The cousins came up to visit while the Ryans and Grampy worked on the shed. Said shed did not get much attention with the camera.

Oh and maybe I should mention...we moved. Some day I will get around to posting a picture of our house. It's a fixer-upper so I hesitate to post before pics when we don't have any afters, but it's going to be a long time before we have any after pictures. So far we (and by "we" I mean Ryan) have knocked down a few walls, knocked one row of cabinets down, and built most of a shed.

Does this bow make my head look small?
