Pumpkin Patch

Hay ride.


I just love this picture. Look at that huge smile on Asher's face. I know he's thinking he's real lucky!



Yee-haw!


Mean pigs!

Seriously?! Free to roam?!

This guy was really hungry. After this picture he stole the bag right out of Adam's hand.

What a cutie! :-)

We have an awesome pumpkin patch in Tulsa. We have gone two years in a row and Asher absolutely loves it!! This Sunday, we went back with our community group from church. Besides climbing on top of all the pumpkins, I think Asher's favorite part is all the animals. You can buy feed and feed goats, sheep, and pigs. However, I would not recommend feeding the pigs. The goats and sheep very kindly lick the feed off your hand...but the pigs...not so nice. One bit Asher's fingers and caused a cry fest for about five minutes. I don't blame him though...I'm sure it really hurt. Besides feeding the animals, Asher rode a pony and a camel. The whole group went on a hay ride and the men raced through a corn maze. I think they were excepting a big manly competition but they came out extremely disappointed. Apparently, the finish line was right next to the entrance. As for me, well I just try not to have a heart attack while I'm there. Anyone who knows me knows that I despise birds! This place has chickens that just freely roam around. UGHHHH!!!! They also have a pen in the middle with huge turkeys in there. It would be my luck that one would escape the pen while I'm there. The thought seriously makes my heart pound!! So I walk around the whole time looking over my shoulder hoping that some evil bird isn't following me.

Being sick :(

So I'm sick today and it's not fun. I woke up with a cough yesterday that I thought came from all the yelling I did at the U2 concert I went to on Sunday night (which was amazing by the way) but the cough just lingered and lingered. Today I'm running fever and just feel really ran down. I swear I'm not trying to be a big baby about being sick but to make matters worse, Adam is out of town all week. AND my usual helper, my mom, is sick too!! So my poor dad came all the way to Tulsa to keep Asher for me. They are staying at a hotel tonight and have just been running around all day doing boy things. :) Again, I promise I'm not trying to be a baby. I would really muster up the energy to take care of Asher while being sick but truth be told, I'm so scared to be around him. I don't know about anyone else but this whole swine flu thing has me freaked out!! Especially for my little boy. There are so many different stories out there right now and I'm so scared for Asher to get it. Some people say oh it's a mild cold and others say it's terrible with 104 fever. Some people say absolutely do not vaccinate and other say it's dumb not to. I just don't know what to do!!! So all of this to say that my sweet dad is keeping Asher away from me....and now I'm terribly lonely! :(

Happy 3rd birthday!!

Birthday boy and daddy at the zoo. It was hot!


He loves the petting zoo. He loved that specific goat for some reason. Followed it around the whole time. I had to tell him not to kiss it...that's gross!



Fear the Stache! Asher says he has a "dirty mustache just like Boom!"


Yea!!

Look at that huge smile!!

Spiderman and the kids

Spidey himself!

Pinata time! Sorry for the sugar rush parents!

Cruisin the rides

Asher's new ride.

My little boy is 3!! WOW!! It really does go by so fast. I'm trying to remember everything I can about his little life but it seems like his life is moving faster than my brain works! He is just so much fun right now. He hasn't even been 3 for a week yet but I'm loving this age. He's so funny!! This year was the first year that he was so excited to have a party. We have been talking about this party, planning this party, buying things for this party for over a month now. Every week he would say, "My friends come to my party this weekend?" And I would have to say, "Not this week." SO when the time finally came....man he was excited!! We had a spiderman birthday party in our backyard. He had tons of friends there and the real Spiderman made an appearance. Asher loved it!!! Spiderman's strength was really put to the test by three little boys. I think the cutest part of the whole party was singing happy birthday to him. He just smiled and laughed the entire time! Definitely melted my heart! After the party, my family stayed with us and we just played with toys and watched football. We had his party on Saturday but his real birthday was Sunday. Of course we had to celebrate the real birthday so we went to church and then headed straight out to the zoo. After the zoo, we played outside until the sun went down. We ended the birthday weekend by singing happy birthday as our good night song. Of course he was so excited that we had to sing it again! I love you Asher man and I thank God everyday for 3 amazing years with you. I'm so lucky!
