Asher's First Haircut





His big brother is a pro, but last week, Asher had his first very encounter with the Barber. We go to a great barber here in Sisters and he is great with kids and hardly charges a thing. Asher did really good until about 3 minutes into the ordeal and then he fell apart. Just wanted to share a few pics of the memory!

Asher Turns 1!!!!!

Can you believe it? Baby Asher is already 1...it seems unreal to me. I can remember like it was yesterday the full events of the day he was born. He has been such a joy to our lives and Bryant is truly loving having a playmate, he is a great big brother. Asher makes his way around the house like a pro these days and although he isn't showing many signs of walking, he is strong and getting good at climbing the stairs.
We kept Asher's birthday pretty low key. I bought a plastic pool at the hardware store today and we were going to have a little family pool party, but the water was a little too cold, so maybe tomorrow! :-) I don't think Asher has his mommy's sweet tooth, he really wasn't that into his cake. He loves it when we sing happy birthday to him and lights up with a huge smile each time we break into song, which I did a bunch today, just for the smile factor!! Bryant loves that his brother got some new toys for his birthday, in fact, I think Bryant has played with them more than Asher. Ahhh, the perks of being the big brother! We just returned from a family reunion gathering for Jeremy's side of the family in Salem and we had a great time. Asher didn't sleep (literally, not at all), so we ended up leaving late Saturday night in an effort to get one good night of sleep in before the week begins, but it was so much fun hanging out with cousins and playing basketball, full access to a great playground any time of day (by far the highlight for Bryant) and even swimming. Jeremy's cousin Rich had his Harley there and Bryant got to sit on it and rev it up, (Asher even got a turn) it was a blast!!

Sweet Laughs - Cousins having fun!

We spent some time about a week ago at my Mom's house so I could travel a bit for work. This video is Bryant, Asher and their cousin Cortlyn, having a blast together. I was about to put a stop to the bombardment of stuffed animals on the baby, but Asher was so thrilled with the attention, I decided to pull out my camera and record it instead. The laughing truly is contagious!!

Little Fawn


We are blessed to live in a beautiful area of Oregon, tucked in the Mountains with amazing snowy winters and beautiful, hot summers. Today we had a little fawn wander into our yard with her Mama and Jeremy was able to capture some cool pictures of this tiny little wonder. We are guessing the fawn is 2 days old, barely walking, but moving around some. Enjoy!!
