Mootie Time!!

Asher and Adam loves smoothies. I'm not a huge smoothie drinker so this is totally a Asher and Daddy time. Asher loves it!! He eats his dinner and then he asks for a "Mootie". He knows where everything is and is a huge help. He drags out the blender and puts it on top of the counter. This part is very scary. I'm so afraid that he is going to drop it and shatter glass everywhere but...this is a part of it. He gets it out and then says, "Whooo that heavy!!" Then he helps Adam get all the fruit from the freezer. This is actually a great learning experience because Adam makes him count out all the fruit. 4 strawberries, 2 scoops of yogurt, etc. After it's all done, they sit on the couch and drink up!!

Will Somebody Please Give the Kid a Haircut?

We got this phrase a lot there awhile. Asher desperately needed a haircut. We wanted to grow it out but it just started from a very bad point. He received a horrible haircut back in December. The girl combed every single hair on his head forward and started cutting. Now I'm not a hair dresser but I could quickly tell that this one wasnt turning out very good. Naturally, the front was much shorter than the back. MUCH SHORTER. It didn't look that bad at first but then it started growing and every day it was more noticeable. But we decided that we would let it keep growing and we would see what happened. Oh Poor Asher! The long back part of his hair started curling. It formed ONE big roll like I curled it was a curling iron. The front looked cute - nice and shaggy. But the back!!! There was nothing I could do to control it. I sprayed it with water, hairspray, etc. It just would not go down. It stuck up from the second he got his hair washed. Needless to say, we broke down and got him a haircut. He looks much better but I think the back part of his hair is just trained to stick straight up. Oh well, at least people don't think that I curl it.

Pics are pre-haircut. Just wanted you to see the "stickup" and also Adam should learn to just smile for me when I tell him to take a picture or else I will have to keep posting picture like this of him.

Running!

Anyone who knows me knows I hate running. It has NEVER been anything that I was interested in. I thought that people who enjoyed running were crazy and truth be told, I still do. BUT I have decided to take it up. I'm running a half marathon in April with Adam and some friends. I have started training and I'm using this program that is for beginners. Beginners my butt!! The first week we had to run 5 miles! Geez!!! But I did it, kind of. I had to walk a few times. My problem is no longer serious side cramps or gasping for air, but it's my dang knees. Never before have I felt so extremely old. When I run, it feels like my knee cap is going to fly out of my knee. I sleep in Icy Hot every night and take 2 Mortins everyday. Some of you might be laughing and saying it's only 5 miles but like I said, I have NEVER liked running which is exactly the reason I decided to do it. I want to push myself and overcome a hurdle that I thought was completely impossible. I struggled running one mile and now that's simple. I'm really proud of my 5 miles....now if only a half marathon was 5 miles!
