March Fun

March has been a busy month.  David's groups at school have been having festival this month, and since he teaches 3 different subjects, he has 3 different festival's to prepare for.  He's also had 2 other concerts just for fun!  So he's been very tired and exhausted lately.  His groups are all doing really well, though, so he's doing a good job!  In the midst of all this craziness, he had a birthday!  I was pretty small and quiet, but I think that's what he preferred.  He requested sushi for dinner and a cookies and cream ice cream cake!  Happy birthday David!

Asher got Wendy's because I knew he wouldn't like the sushi.  He was pretty excited about it.

A few days after David's birthday, Asher and I headed to Idaho for my nephew's kemem.  Isaac was adopted a year ago after his birth.  He is Marshallese (Pacific Islands) and the kemem is traditionally a celebration that the baby made it through their first year.  My sister tries to include parts of their culture because both of her babies are from the Marshall Islands.  So we went to Idaho to have fun at this big party!  There was a lot of food and leis and she even got some dancers from the Polynesian Society on campus to do a few dances!  We didn't stay long, but had a lot of fun.  And Asher loved seeing all his cousins!  I wish we lived closer!

I let Asher take a car to bed with him at night.  This was his pick at Grandma's house!

Chickens!

Ledger and Asher thought the nursery room was more fun than the  kemem.

My cute little baby!

Polynesian dancers, they were really good!

Happy birthday Isaac!

Asher loves Millie.  Sometimes very aggressively.

After haircut!  He is really good during haircuts and doesn't mind it as long as I let him watch his show.

About once a week the fire department takes their trucks out and does inspections.  There's a guy clear at the top of the ladder!  It's really interesting to watch!

I just love this little boy!

February

I did a lot better at taking pictures in February than in January!  We didn't have too much going on, so this post will be mostly pictures.  Valentine's weekend we drove up to Rexburg so we could meet with the guy who does our taxes.  I am very glad we have someone else do it!  I hate taxes and think it is so worth it to have someone else deal with all that paperwork, and he always gets us more money than we would get it we did it ourselves!  I was especially glad we had him do it this year because we had 3 moves that were tax deductible, and me just trying to get all the receipts together gave me a headache.  And he did get us lots of money back that will all basically go to paying off debt from all the moving we did!  But we should be pretty stable now and hopefully no moves this year! Now here are some pictures!

 

Asher didn't want to get out of his crib after a nap one day.  So I gave him a buddy.  I was a little worried the crib wouldn't be able to hold the extra 50 pounds. But Asher thought it was hilarious!

There's a little playground across the street from us that we spend a lot of time at.  One day this little girl was out there and thought Asher was lots of fun and spent the whole time following him around!

Watching tv.  He likes to be all snuggly warm.

Cousins!  We had a lot of fun in Rexburg!

Everybody loves the marble works!  Except Andy who was trying to sleep in the next room.

I had to leave right after David got home from work.  I came back to David asleep, but Asher looked nice and cozy!

Asher loves David's headphones.

David complained that he wasn't in my last few blog posts, so I told him if he wanted to be in the blog, he had to let me take pictures of him!

The family.
