Asher's 5th Birthday

The Goody Table

Asher "waving" out his candle. He was making sure Aden didn't get a chance to blow it out!

Opening presents......fun!

Uncle Nate & Aunt Mel - looks like Mel was the keeper of the juice and gifts :)

The G.I. Joe Ninja set was a big hit as you can tell!

Asher asked his Godparents for a Nurf Gun - he got a big one! Seth & Laura are awesome!!

I think Asher was showing Dominic & Jennifer the car they got him

This was the best group shot - out of 10!

We had a Witch, 80's chick, A Doctor, 50's girl, Tigger, Baby Frankenstein, Power Ranger, Kitty Cat, Woody the Sheriff, Incredible Hulk and a Ninja!

Asher's birthday party was a blast and a big hit with the costumes, games and pinata too. We were so glad to share his day with friends and family!

School Days

Asher's 1st day of School

We've got two months of home school down and Asher is doing really great. We did a fast track review of Kindergarten during the month of August so we could move onto 1st Grade in September. Asher is now completing one assignment per day on United States, The World Countries, Reading Readiness, Phonics, Addition, Subtraction, Penmanship and Bible Study. He is pretty amazing and catching on really quickly. He gets frustrated with his penmanship assignments, but is really enjoying learning about the States and Countries. He's shown real excitement with his Math assignments, which makes me proud! Aden started Kindergarten in September as well. I've had to take a little bit different approach with him though. A lot of coloring and a little bit of Beginning Sounds worksheets. He's trying to write his alphabet and his name which is pretty impressive for a 3 1/2 year old! They both enjoy their school time, Asher sits at his desk and Aden sits at the table. We have to get creative sometimes with the flash cards to accommodate Ashton. He can't be left alone really, so our sit down at the desk time is usually while Ashton is napping.

Jonas who?

Eye of the Tiger

Fly me to the Moon Asher

Kids say the darndest things!

Asher asked me if I knew how to make Cheez-It's....when I told him no, he proceeded to tell me "All you do is take a big piece of cheese"

"and you pull out the cracker"

He's funny!
