Sweet Asher - He is getting Soooo Big!

Tummy time! When Asher went to his 2 month appointment he was in the 89% for his weight and 96% for his height! Big boy! He will be 3 months on the 6th of July and is already in 6 month old clothes. :) All this growing is making me so tired! Thank you Auntie Jen for the comfy & cute blankie that I LOVE!
Yup, getting BIG!
Sam and Asher are known to just look at each other and smile. Who wouldn't smile at these two guys!
Asher, dimples and all. :)

Summer Retreat at Horn Creek - June 2010

My sister Kristen with her little boy Drew and Asher. We came here for a family retreat. It was great! We spent wonderful time with the family and friends. It was sooo nice! Sam played with his best friend Amy and all the other kids. Ryan and I had time to play knockout basketball. Ryan won a few times and I threw like a fool! :)

Sam and his "Best Friend" Amy...
There is a ramp that goes down from the dining room to the bedrooms, it goes down 1/2 a floor. They take anything that will slide from the nursery/playroom and SLIDE!!!!! Yeah!
Me, Mammy and Kristen. We hiked up to the waterfall with Jon, Megan, Katy and Papou. On they way back Jon, Megan, Katy, Papou and I all sang songs and cadences. It was a lot of fun!
Sam going FAST down the diningroom slope!

Asher, My Darling Fire Fly!

That day was a magical day. Asher discovered his thumb!! A man after my own heart. Now, my mother could tell you exactly, but I think that I sucked my thumb until the beginning of Elementary school. It was my comfort and companion. And for my mother it was a portable pacifier, not to mention attached (so next to impossible to lose)! So as fate has it, I too have a thumb sucker! What a gift, that thumb. I was told as a child that I would have buck teeth, that my thumb could be sucked right off, etc. Turns out that they were wrong, and for that God gave me a sucker of my own! :)

Turns out that a suitcase makes for a nice baby crib. If only my child's head and feet didn't hit the edges! Oh well, at least he can go anywhere! :)

This is just too sweet not to share. Chubby little legs... Tiny fists... Asher, son, I love you!

On our way to Westcliff for a family retreat. Let's just say that Asher is OVER being in his car seat for hours!!! Can you tell by the look on his face? :)

GrandMa's House - Fort Collins/Memorial Weekend...

Pretty Grandma and Baby Asher.

A short ways off of Harmony, Grandma has just bought a beautiful home. It is really great! The whole family came to help Grandma move in. There is plenty of space for us all to stay and just "be." Good choice! Carissa came for the weekend to help move, the Windsor Goeglein's came also and so did Papa! It was wonderful! Ryan had a few inspections, so I stayed with our two men at the house. What a treat! We all really loved being a big family together. Talking, laughing and unpacking. Of course my favorite is the tall rooster you see against the wall in this picture. Grandma's friend Cindy says that she likes to pet it! LOL!!!

Carissa...what can we say...she said that she would move to Colorado if Ryan and I had another. So we had Asher, now she has changed her mind and says she needs more nieces and nephews to come. So Travis and Jen step up to the plate, number 3 in November. Roo will you EVER move here!!!! We love you!!!

Auntie Jen and Asher. Asher is a growing boy who needs lots of sleep and Jen is growing a boy (or so I predict), so she needs lots of sleep. Soooo sweet!! Nap time!

Britters!!! Some friends are best friends for a reason! Britt is just that girl. We have been friends since HS. She has known me through my best and worst. AND can even laugh when my youngest pees on her! God love you Britters! I have laughed with few people as much as I have laughed with you! You are one hell of a best friend!

Cousins!!! Windsor cousins. Sam loves to play with Heidi and Micah! They all run around...in the door, out the door. It is great! We are so lucky to have so many of our family members so close for Sam and Asher to grow up with!! We love you guys!!

A day at the Zoo with Cousins!!

First of all may I say that I think this is the most rockin outfit for a day at the zoo I have seen in a long time!! I wish that I had thought of it first, because I would have worn it if I could have gotten away with it. This little girl looks like she should be a celebrities child! :) Fancy!The day was nice and warm and therefore the bears were out and either jumping in the water for a cool dip or relaxing in the shade. One of the bears had just had hip surgery and gotten the green light from the Doc that it was Okay to play in the water. She was doing a lot of swimming. So fun to see. We also got there just in time to see the Sea Lion show. There is a lion who does not have a back tail due to getting caught in a net, or something. You would think that she would have a hard time swimming around, but she looks to be doing just fine. :)
So these are my Sullivan cousins'. Drew is the in sweet ride, Megan is giving Sam a hug, Amy is the sweet little blue bug and Katy is our little artist in pink! We love hanging out with them and it is really great because they live only a couple miles away from us. Now we are just trying to get the Kehayas Grand Parents to retire and move to Denver!
Cousin Andrew and Sam are 7 months apart...and they couldn't be more different in there eating habits. :) Drew is a free spirit and enjoying really experiencing his food...yougurt Go'T!!
