June Photo Dump

The month of June was crazy! And in order for me to get caught up and start blogging current things...the whole month of June is just gonna be a giant photo dump. Lets get started...

Ascher loves his "Rubble" (paw patrol dog) stuffed animal

apparently you have to sit down to decide what to eat 

lots of tantrums this month

followed by extra naps--even if he fights me

we had "picnic" in the front seat of my car before his doctor appointment- he thought he was so cool eating in the front seat

reading his book he got in his kids meal

LOVES playdoh

sad I was giving him a bath and not daddy- Im apparently not as fun

He loves to go grocery shopping when he gets to ride in the cool car buggy

Playing with Ava..looks so different with a girl in the house

"Helping" Dad on Saturday morning...in his lightening mcqueen slippers. Justin is such a worker. Someone ran over our french drain and so at 8 am on Saturday he was out there cleaning/fixing it.

Finger paint gone wrong. 

We spent a lot of days/afternoons in the blow up pool. 

helping me organize sisters room 

we get to go Gogo's house and before I've even got all the way in the door he has found a new truck full of hot wheels. spoiled much??

I dropped a chip but no worries...Brynn caught it for me. 

He looks so relaxed and grown up. Where did my baby go!?

Saturday Home Depot Shopping with Dad

Can't go to Home Depot witout sitting on tractors out front

Matthews 1st Birthday Party

Happy 1st Birthday Matthew!!

Hanging out on the back patio- I was getting so large and uncomfortable

teethers hurt. (2 year old molars coming in)

LOVES to play with blue knetic sand

hanging out at our neighbors the night before we went to the hopsital ( I was in labor the whole time and didn't know it). They are from Louisiana and LSU fans so Ascher had to sport the helmet so we could send picture to Mom & Dad (they went to LSU)

EEEKKK...let the fun begin. June 29th we checked into the hospital to monitor my contractions...yup 1 minute apart

June 30th- last family photo of just the three of us before Brynn was born

June was a crazy busy/fun month. Looking back it flew by and I am so glad I have these photos to remember what we were up too! 

Month of May Dump

The month of May we were super busy but just doing things here and there...I figured I'd do a little recap in the form a photo dump from my phone. These are just the first 2 weeks of photos- I'll do rest of May tomorrow night. ; ) 

 We finally hung some stuff in Aschers room one weekend. I was going to re-do it into a big boy room but figured I would wait until he moves into a big boy bed and do it at once instead of doing it now and then again when he moves out of crib. So these paintings were hanging in his old room. We also hung up his personalized ABC's & a "finger" painting canvas he did with his BFF, Emma when they turned one. 

Justin picked out little girls first outfit. So adorable. 

When Ascher wakes up he always wants Mommy to "lay down...cuddle mommy!" until he fully wakes up and it never fails that he climbs on top of my head- its one of my favorite times of the day

True Life: Some mornings look like this.

Big boy haircut for summer

 Popsicles outside

 water table fun

 loves to color in the bathtub

 I worked a little in the 5th bedroom. Yeah I know it looks awful but would you believe this is progress!!?!  (I unpacked boxes so what was once in a neat giant pile of boxes is now organized into math, reading, books, etc.) This is all my teacher stuff!! And my "nesting" has me wanting this room done even though its upstairs and no one sees it--- I need to be working on nursery/downstairs not up here. Even doing a little makes me feel better though. 

Cute little man shopping one night

 Our newest nephew arrived on May 10, 2014. Everett Bright. He is precious. We went and visited him on Mothers Day.

Ascher adores his cousin, Grayson. Anytime we play with any boy that is older than him he talks about "Grayson" for days. He thinks that everyone is Grayson and when he actually gets to play with Grayson all is right in the world. He is still talking about Grayson giving him a bouncy ball and it has been 3 and a half weeks since he saw him. He LOVES his cousin Grayson. So sweet. 

I'll do the rest of May tomorrow night along with our Memorial Day Weekend Recap! 

Random August Pictures (First Couple Weeks)

The past two weeks of August have been pretty chill. We did a lot of resting, cleaning, bible study, yard work, played. Ya know...good ol fashioned summer time. Ascher was sick so resting was the key. When I took him to doctor they said he just had a virus. He never got a fever and his ears looked good so I guess a virus was all it was. Neither Justin nor I got sick, thank goodness.

I love when God sends you right to the perfect verse. The other day I was struggling and God just kept telling me to read Matthew. I opened it up and WHAM. The beatitudes was exactly what I needed to read.

We ate at Cracker Barrel with friends

We shopped at Target & Hobby Lobby with friends and had some fun hanging out around the house

So this was a pretty pointless post...I had it in drafts and I don't remember what I was going to add so here you have it...some cute pictures of my bubby and God using his word to minister to me. : )

Life in July

Once we got home from Utah life slowed down as far as going places. Ascher and I were as busy as ever. I took a picture of my calendar of July. Wow. Every day is packed with stuff. Granted, I write down everything- menu, what we did, apts (everything color coded mind you) : ) So I'll give a quick run down on some things we did in July...

played in the backyard pool

had playdates (both Mommy & Baby)

went to Avery's 5th Birthday party

Grammy came to visit 

loved on Pip...a lot. They are best friends.

Got our hair cuts

You can't really tell in pic. Left I have makeup on- Right I do not.
Left it is straight- Right she curled it after highlighting it.

He wasn't very good at posing either. ; ) 

And just played...here are some of my favorites from July

my little Aggie 

 playing on the ipad

 a whole post to come of these photos....I died of cuteness so I may or may not have taken a lot of photos.

The power went out one night and it was super hot. Little man thought it was most comfy to sleep on my chest...I was sweating by the time I moved him.

When did he get so big!?!

my two loves

Here is a pic I took of calendar at beginning of month and the end of the month. Wow.
