Asher's 9th Birthday

Asher's Birthday Party
Saturday March 18th, 2017
1:30pm
Gymnastics party!

Random pictures of the party...





Y'all, I forgot the candles. CAN YOU BELIEVE? I finally remember party bags and everything, and I forgot the dang candles! I felt so bad! But Ash was such a good sport about it!



Macie even got a gift from Asher's friend, Kylie, for her birthday.

We did another gymnastics themed party. There aren't many choices around here, especially this time of the year, and this is a great way for kids to run around and let out energy. I was panicking because for whatever reason, I was late in getting invites out. They were sent out Tuesday and his party was Saturday. Thankfully, he had a GREAT turn out! Asher had a lot of fun and that is what matters! Afterwards, he played at Kylie's house for a few hours, then she came back home with us for a sleepover.

That sweet baby pic really makes my ovaries hurt! 

He wanted me to post this comparison pic instead. Aw!




Oh my Asher baby! Where has the time gone?! I cannot believe he is 9! I requested the evening off so I could spend time with him. Afterschool he enjoyed a cupcake and played. He wanted Applebee's for dinner so we did that. I am so grateful for this fella. Here's what I posted on Facebook:

"9 years ago today, Asher John came into the world. Born 3 weeks early, he was my biggest baby. He came into this world silent, not even a wimper. Once roughed around, he gave one "wahh" before going back sleep. This child slept through the night, basically from the start. He was the most easy going and happy baby you've ever met.
Asher has the sweetest disposition. He is a sensitive boy, always feeling for others before himself. He is wise beyond his years. He is so flippin' smart too, he teaches me things! Asher will randomly hug me, will tell me how beautiful I am. He builds me, his siblings and friends up and encourages us. He is so full of energy and strength, yet so gentle and sweet.
With each child, I grew spiritually and received a different message. With Ash, that message was forgiveness. I experienced the forgiveness of God in a tangible way during his pregnancy. I experienced grace, mercy and pure joy in a new way. I will never forget how faithful God was during Asher's pregnancy and delivery.
Anyways. I am so grateful for this not-so-little guy. To say I am proud of him would be an understatement.
Happy Birthday, Ash! I love you like a fat kid loves cake"

Zeke's 13th Birthday


Zeke's 13th Birthday
Friday, February 24th 2017




It is hard to believe my first born is officially a teenager! Donuts for breakfast with birthday card and birthday money (that's all he wanted!). Off to school. After school, I was able to stay home (usually close at work). He wanted to go to Game Stop and eat take out at home. 

The Party at Sky Zone

Party went well. He had several close friends show up. I love Zeke's friends; they are some good kids! The party went well; the service was great! They got to play for an hour, I believe, then pizza and cake. Zeke then spent the night at Aiden's.

Macie's 6th Birthday

Macie's 6th Birthday

Sweet girl woke up and opened presents. Asher played a happy birthday song on the computer. She brought cupcakes to school for her class (she also had spring pics and a field trip that day!), I came by for lunch and we went outside. That afternoon, she requested to go swimming so we did at the Y. She wanted Burger King for dinner, followed by cupcakes at home.





















Natalie got to spend the night before Macie's party!
