Asher Enjoying the snow



Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Just a few Pictures

he is actualy faking-he totally fooled me!

These boys of mine make me smile, they are ALL boy. Asher is always a soldiger, police officer or super hero. Here he is being a soldiger complete with the outfit and sword.
Ben takes after is parents and loves to sleep ;) not really but he is so sweet when he is asleep. Every parent should look at their children sleeping at the end of the day a remember how sweet and innocent they are.
I am looking forward to new sweet baby pictures this summer.

Some new quotes

Benny to daddy, "Do you know what my favorite pop is? Soda pop."
"Well, what is your favorite flavor?" asked daddy
"Umm Beef scents." Smiles Benny.
"Beef scent? " asked daddy.
"Yeah, Beef scents. That's a kind of pop."says Ben
"Great." says daddy chuckling.



Ben and Asher have been playing Prince Caspian all week. Ben is Peter and Asher is Edmund. They have been playing swords and fighting the white witch and other bad guys all week. When two days ago Ben tells me he needs two sisters. One to be Lucy and one to be Susan, so they can all play Prince Caspian. But Asher chimes in and says he only needs one sister, to which Ben begins to argue for two. And so goes the fight one, two, one, two. I look at Joe and say, well I guess we need three sisters ;) So I tell Ben he needs to pray and ask God for this particular wish.
(I thought it was funnier than Joe did)

A Poopie Day

Can't see it?

A closer look

Yup that's poop


So, I was upstairs doing Pilates and Ben comes upstairs to play. Asher stays downstairs and then calls for me. I answer, " I am upstairs honey." I continue with my Pilates, and Ben is calling for Asher to come up and asking me to call for him. After I finish my 10 min I decide to walk down and check on him. And I found him lounging on the recliner covered in his own poop, and very happy I might add.
Did I mention that two weeks ago Joe took the boys and LuLu on a dough nut drive and then stopped by the DeGroff's to let the kids play. And Rebekah come down and informs Joe that Asher just ate some of his poop. Apparently he just reached in and grabbed a handful and helped himself. AAAAAA!!! So Yucky!

And all you moms would have been so proud of my reaction. I did not scream, yell or vomit. I just took him off the chair took some pictures :) wiped him down with wipes and bathed him.

Hope you all have a great Poopie Day.

Let's pretend

Yesterday, to Ben's sheer joy we found our lion costume. Benny had so much fun pretending to be a lion and roaring and stalking around the house. He and Asher also played "Daniel in the Lion's Den" with Asher playing the role of Daniel, Benny of course the lion and mommy was the narrator. If was great to see them having so much fun acting out the word of God.

Fun at the Park

oops.. Benny missed a step

Asher with no fear, just joy

Yeah, taking turns!

We have discovered that Asher likes to go head first down a slide. It is like he has no fear. He will crawl right up and throw himself down, it is so funny to watch. And Benny the little man is climbing and running all over, not to mention shooting squirrels with his pretend gun-"Just like daddy." We have tried to make the most out of these last beautiful days before it is too cold. I don't even want to think about what they will be doing next year at the park.
But it has been a lot of fun, let's do it again soon!

So Cute!

They are just so cute! That's all I have to say.

Lots of Love

Does Asher Look Nervous?
Pucker Up!
Ben Is Even Sharing His Toys!

Ben has been loving on Asher a lot lately. He wants to play with Asher, hold him and touch and kiss him all the time. It is really sweet how much he loves his brother.
