Baby's First Beard?

(Looks a little guilty doesn't he?) : )

Asher decided to sport a little 5 o'clock shadow when he got into some play kitchen dishes aubrey had "decorated" with watercolors. Still, you gotta love those sweet chubby, somewhat guilty cheeks : )

My Future Teenagers

Asher texting and Aubrey on the ipod....why do I have a feeling this is exactly what they'll look like in about 10 yrs?

My Funny Valentine

My New Nephew

My sister just had the most beautiful baby boy, Taylor. He was born today, January 30th, on her 30th birthday! What a birthday present : ) He is such a cutie....just wanted to share that I'm a proud aunt.

He was 6lbs 11oz and 19.5 in long and super handsome. Here's a few pictures to prove it : )

Santa Visit 2010

I was looking through pictures last night and I decided that even though I'm late on posting many fun things we've done this past year, I still want to share them and have them on our blog "family journal". So here is Belated Christmas post #1!

We went to the local library to see Santa and Mrs. Claus. They came to read a story to the kids. Aubrey was super excited about it, and I was thrilled to not have to wait in a huge line at the mall to see Santa : ) There were only about 20-30 people there tops so it was just right.

This is Aubrey anxiously awaiting Santa's arrival.

Asher on the other hand could care less...and was ready for bed : )

Santa read "The Night Before Christmas"

Aubrey waiting patiently in line...

Asher wasn't much for posing by that point, but Aubrey had a great time. She asked Santa for a camel! No problem, right?? (I told her it would have to be a toy camel though because Santa Claus only makes toys)

As we were leaving she said to me "Mommy, why is Santa Claus just a man?" ( oh no...) Maybe she was expecting him make a bit more magical entrance than just walking in the front door : ) I told her he was a man but that he was a special man who had Christmas magic.

She said, "When he takes off his special suit he's just a man, mommy." Seriously? This is like the first Christmas that she's even understanding/excited about Santa and we're already questioning his existence? Come on! : ) She was still full of questions after that, but we seemed to answer them all to her satisfaction at least...until next year!

Nap Hair

This is how I found Asher when I went to get him from his nap. If you can't tell, he's definitely a "morning person" : ) He's up on his knees, which means I better have Steve lower that crib.

These are all pics of his awesome "nap hair". I love it... but most of all I love to kiss the rosy cheeks of this sweet, cuddly little boy right after a good nap :)
