after two-and-a-half-years...

we finally got to see gary & annie's family! the last time we saw them i was pregnant with addi and annie was pregnant with katie.


the whole family, minus amy & karl and rich & sarah


the kids had fun playing together although poor katie was outnumbered seven to one. it is not fair she has a girl cousin her same age who isn't around to play!

seven peaks

my friend shelly was going to seven peaks and i wanted to take asher but will didn't want to go... i decided to brave it alone with the boy and i am so glad i did! he was soooo nervous at first and laughed his nervous laugh/cry for the first 15 minutes in the water. after a while he decided swimming was fun and we had a great time after that.


we just played in the baby pool and in the lazy river and he cried when we had to go home.


here's the little fishie eating snacks in his stroller

family pictures

we made an attempt to get a family picture to hang on the wall... we had a few turn out okay, but most of them were like the last picture: asher couldn't get his parents to look at the camera long enough for rob to snap the shot.

asher's first haircut

well... almost! after an unfortunate event involving asher, myself, and a pair of clippers, lindsey told asher to run fast to her house next time his mommy tries to trim his hair. luckily, will's barber makes house calls and uncle jake came to the rescue. it took some serious restraints and lots of distractions but eventually we got it done. here is an action shot:


the clipper attachments and accessories made very interesting toys


the end result: one handsome boy. (click to enlarge)
