The Boy and His Toy

So Asher LOVES laptops. He loves them so much that he has ruined three of them by popping off the keys. In the fall he popped off keys on my mini that I took to school and I showed the Professor that I am a TA for. The next day, he brought in this ancient laptop that he had and gave it to me to give to Asher. It has been in the trunk of the car for about 4 months. Last weekend Ryan cleaned out his car and put the laptop in the garage by the steps to the house. Asher finally noticed it and was SO excited! I mean he was literally giggling as he lugged this ancient laptop that has to weigh 10 pounds into the house. I plugged it in and turned it on and he was in heaven. It really works and it takes me back to high school and word processing class. Anyway here are a few pics of him with his toy.

Cheesing it

Typing something important I'm sure

The battery pack also doubles as a phone!

Don't you love how he is holding it on his shoulder!

Easton's Newborn Pics

When Easton was two weeks old, my sister-in-law Brittney took some pictures of him. He was so funny and wouldn't stay asleep and was a bit fussy but she got some really cute ones of him.

She is so good at what she does and recently started a photography business and you can check it out @ www.photosnappaladies.blogspot.com

Two Weeks!

Crazy that this little guy is 2 weeks already! At his two week appointment he weighed in at 7 lbs 13 ozs. The Friday after he was born he had dropped down to 7 lbs 2 ozs so in a little over a week, he had picked up 11 ozs. They measured him at 20 inches so he "shrunk" an inch from when they measured him at the hospital.

Easton is a very chill laid back little guy as long as his belly is full. He is a great eater and man can he BELCH! His brother and sisters love him and there have been more than a few arguments over who gets to hold him.

He has a different look to him than the rest of the kids mainly because he has the Newton nose. His eyes and mouth are like Addie's and he has VERY LONG fingers and toes.

When he was born he wouldn't cry. The nurse was really concerned and was rubbing him hard and put an oxygen mask on him. My doctor was calm and said that he was pinking up and it was probably his "rapid ascent down the birth canal that left him speechless." (About 2 hours of labor total and my doctor was there for maybe 20 minutes.) He didn't cry at all, the nurse finally got a little whimper out of him and seemed satisfied. Ryan and I are hopeful that this is a good sign since Asher screamed forever when he was born. We are just hoping that he will not be as busy as his older brother, because honestly I don't think we have it in us to be able to handle another Asher.
We are very happy that this little man was sent to be part of our family and we are very excited to watch him grow.

Probably the last pregnant picture anyone will ever see of me. Going in tomorrow to have this little guy and I am READY!

Addison is 7!

February 9th was Addison's birthday. She was so excited when she woke up that she was finally 7! This little girl wants to grow up so fast, it is scary. She asked for an American Girl doll for her birthday and we ordered it (a bit late unfortunately). It was scheduled to be delivered on her birthday and when I went online that day to check it had changed and was not scheduled for delivery until the 11th. Ryan and I felt so bad and so I quickly ran to the toy store to get her a couple of things to open on her birthday. She was actually okay with her doll arriving late and she did receive it on Friday.

For her birthday, we had a wonderful dinner of Sloppy Joe's and chocolate cake without frosting. All at her request. On Saturday we went to Chuck E. Cheese's for games with her cousins. I stupidly forgot my camera and so I did not get a picture of the wonderful cake my mother made for her. Addie wanted a "Strawberry Shortcake" cake and of course Val came through with it. My mom is amazing and I am so glad she loves to make the cakes because it makes it easier on me. Addie had a great birthday and was spoiled by all. We are so happy she is in our family. She is our tenderhearted little girl who has empathy for everyone and wants everyone to be happy. We love you Addie!

Ashman's Room

We also had the drum and feather logo painted on Asher's wall. He needed something more, I felt like his walls were so bare. It too was finished today and I decided to hang an extra shelf and a decorative plaque above his window (once again, I used a tape measure and level). I love how it turned out!
