Apple Picking

Having a good time on the tractor,,, A bag full of Apples!

BFF! ("How is your apple?") My first apple straight off the tree!

Family Camping

Here are a few things we did with our friends when we went camping!

Asher hanging out by the fire with Lydia: A nice fire!

Trying to get a group picture (someone else had the final picture)...

Asher and his friends on a hanging merry-g0-round...

Throwing rocks... a vacation must! :)

Ellie in her last clean outfit!

Asher going down the waterslide. He looks nervous in this picture, but it slows down before you drop in the water, and he did it about 4 more times!

Roasting a hotdog for lunch!

The ladies with their shoes off... we went on a walk and our guide (Brian) didn't know it didn't make a full circle... so we all ended up climbing over the horse gate and crossing this creek to get back.

A cute picture of Asher... he had a good time!

All by myself!

One of my favorite times of the day is bedtime prayer-time with Asher. He always wants mommy and daddy to go first, then he says "Thank you that:" and you get to hear what his favorite part of the day is. Yesterday was his first day of "school" and of course that was the first thing he said, but then he said "and for riding my bike all by myself". We went to Creve Coeur park on Monday (labor day) and he rode his "big" bike for a while all by himself. He is pretty proud of himself, even to remember and still be excited about it the next day!

Update: He woke up this morning and told me he had good dreams... Me: "what were they?" Asher: "they were about school and riding my bike!"

First Day of Pre-K

Ready to head to Pre-K!Getting excited!All ready to go in the building!Playing cars with a new friend! I really expected him to be hesitant and not want to go, but he was excited and ready to play! I can't wait to pick him up and hear how it went! :)

10 months!

Little Ellie girl, where has the time gone? This weekend you turned 10 months old! Your smile is contagious and we love you SO much!

Climbing in her new tunnel (the beauty is its a old toy turned into something new!).
