Happy 1st Birthday Asher James!

Happy Birthday to the sweetest little one-year-old boy I know! This year has passed in the blink of an eye and I can't believe my little newborn is learning to walk already.  He is so full of personality and is always making us laugh with his silly facial expressions.  I love his slobery kisses and sweet hugs and am so thankful God blessed our family with a baby boy a year ago today.

Happy Birthday Asher Bug!

 

Easter Weekend

We had a very relaxed, low-key Easter weekend but it was extra special because some of our favorite people came to visit!

Avery and Kai had a BLAST playing together.  They are getting so big and would sit in her castle having their own little conversations, it was just the cutest thing ever.

They both loved dyeing eggs!

Friday was Cash's fourth birthday so we had a little party for him.  He is so loved and so sweet with the kids and their friends.  We love our puppy so much, he is definitely a member of the family.

They sang him happy birthday and blew out his candles

Enjoying a puppy cookie :)

Asher has a huge sweet tooth and after I gave him a bite of the cupcakes he was determined to get more.

Meanwhile these two where having way too much fun :)

I found these pictures when I uploaded my photos... I guess Asher and Matt were having fun while we were playing out back :)

Cuties all ready for their Easter egg hunt!

Two of my favorite ladies :)

So thankful for our wonderful friends! Can't wait till the next time we get to see them~

Friends

These two munchkins spend the majority of their time together fighting over toys but on a rare occasion they play happily and have the best time...  Those rare moments make my heart burst, and I just want to bottle them up and never forget how sweet they are.

They both love Avery's castle and we spend time playing in it almost every day.  It is where we hide from the monsters :)  And yes, I do mean we... Avery insists that I join them so that the big monsters don't get me...

She had a bowl of popcorn and after Asher successfully stole a few pieces she wised up and hid the bowl outside the window.  Smart girl protects her food like her life depends on it :)  (she definitely has Nelson blood running through her)

They also LOVE this wagon.  It's supposed to be a baby wagon for Avery to pull her dolls in but they love taking turns pushing each other in it.

 Obviously Asher isn't the best "pusher" and Avery finds her rides rather boring. Ha!

She's always happy to pull him around the yard though :) 

And the award for the most fought-over toy goes to... Avery's car.  She still loves playing in it and Asher is currently obsessed with it.  He climbs in and out over and over again. 

And of course they always include sweet Cash.  He is more than happy (usually) to play along, as long as someone is petting him.  

Obviously a Labrador isn't warm enough in his fur coat and needs to stay warm under the blanket. 

Yep, I'm cherishing these sweet moments :)
