asa is three months old!

love this...i'm pretty sure this was the first moment he discovered he had a little hand...it was so cute. it entertained him for a long time :)

he loves baths now...yeah!

this small tub thing won't last much longer because he's so active it makes the biggest mess! he loves to splash!

blurry but cute...sad little face :(

becoming very vocal...may have another maddie on our hands...may be the only way he gets a word in though!

maddie's book character parade at school

this is maddie and her best buddy, sailor grace at their book parade. maddie chose one of her new favorite books: "birdie's big girl shoes" that she got from scarlet for her birthday. it's a super cute book about a little girl who always dresses up in her mommy's high heels. (couldn't be more fitting) so we dug up my old prom heels...fanciest we could find and she marched the parade in them.....she was a hit! parents were in awe of how she could actually walk in them...if they only knew...she'd do everything in them if i'd let her...where did she come from???
lovin the attention!

leading of course...lovin life

with some friends and mrs. tonja at morning prayer

book character day at max's school

max (the giraffe from "giraffes can't dance") and mrs. doan
(can't remember her book character but her hair doesn't usually look like this!)

he had to wear a microphone around his neck and stand in front of the class and give a book report about his favorite book : giraffes can't dance. dressed as the main character : a giraffe

i was a nervous wreck for him because he's quite shy but he did great.
he didn't miss a beat and gave a great report!

taking the microphone off

one of his best buds...sam...who was ironically the character max this day
from "where the wild things are"!

halloween 2009

a baby doll, a lobster, a pumkin minus his shell, a crab

asa's first halloween...a lobster...bless his little heart
stetie got him this so he and kohen could be crustaceans together

angry lobster

crustacean wagon

looks peaceful but kohen discovered asa had something he liked...a passy
and we're off... maddie lasted .3seconds pulling the wagon...

the guys tossed the football up and down the street.......
we made them stop for this cheesy pose! it's cute though!

just for the record, he had the option to be spiderman or batman...
he loves this old pumpkin i had to wear years ago at work when i was pregnant with him...
trick or treating

cutie patooties!

sweet baby

tired little lobster
happy 1st halloween!

maddie's 4th birthday

so for maddie's big day we started the day off with a party at preschool. they sang happy birthday to her before morning prayer in the hallway.....she was a little shy.
mrs. tonja and the girls. maddie chose a tinker bell themed party for her school party.

mr. tonja hung the birthday girl's picture outside her classroom for the day...she was pretty proud!

we got a phone call that night to meet stetie, jason and kohen at playtime pizza. it was very impromptu but the kids loved it and we got to see short...mom brought her by, she was down for a visit...i wish i had gotten her picture with m&m.

winning some tickets!

the official party day....this year i gave maddie free reign on what kind of party she wanted to have. when i asked her a few weeks before she said "a wicked witch" party...now some may think a little girl her age might mean the wicked witch from the wizard of oz....no, mine daughter means elphaba, from the broadway musical "wicked". she asked if i could call her and have her come to the party..... so i did the very best i could:).....

wicked witch cupcakes

asa's shower

my fam and sweet friends gave asa and i a shower at one of my most fav restaurants after we knew what in the world he was going to be! it was great...we had a private room in the back and the girls decorated with a fall theme as you can see with the sunflowers and cake colors. asa was a little angel during dinner. we had some great food, much need adult conversation and asa got some fabulous gifts....thanks girls!
