The Summer Is Almost Over

This summer has been going by so fast!  There's just been so much fun stuff going on and we haven't had to get ready for any moving, so we just got to enjoy the sunshine!  This Friday is Asher's 3rd birthday, so my next post will be a blubbery, sappy post all about that.  So there's something to look forward to!

This is the Lehi outdoor pool.  It reminded me so much of going to the Porter Park pool growing up!

Earlier this month my sister Joni had her baby, a beautiful baby boy named Cache!  That weekend, Asher Millie and I all went to Rexburg to help out with her other kids after her husband went to work.  It was a very busy weekend but it was so fun to spend time with everyone!

Baby Cache

My mom has this pool set up in her backyard.  Asher thoroughly enjoyed it!

I may have dumped Millie in the pool.  She just looked so hot!

Joni said Ledger was being even more crazy after the baby was born.  She was right!  After swimming he had a bath and that shirt was the only pajamas Joni could find.

I watched Wall-E about 10 times during my visit.

These two were fighting so much.  But after we left, they both kept asking for each other! 

Andy was "helping" me babysit.  But the kids all enjoyed it when he brought home pizza!

Wall-E and juice and crackers.  And mauling Millie.

This walk lasted about 5 minutes, but this is one of my favorite pictures of this bunch!

Since my dad is a city employee, all his family can ride the carousel for free!  It brought back a lot of memories of growing up and working there when I was in High School.  Asher rode it many many times!

 

Asher's birthday present from my mom (which was really more of a present for me) was to get his pictures taken!  The morning light was perfect, Asher was in a great mood, and I think the pictures will turn out great!  I'll post more when I get the CD.

David was very glad when we got back.  He was bored and didn't have a car all weekend, so he was ready for us to get home.  He was even nice and made me breakfast 2 days in a row!

Family time in the morning.  It was probably about 6 in the morning  so we were letting Asher watch his show while we woke up.

It doesn't matter how much I take care of Asher and play with him, nobody will ever be as fun as Dad!

I have hated the colors of the walls and ceiling ever since we moved in, but we could never find the time or money to repaint.  We finally took care of Asher's walls this weekend.  All the rooms and ceilings except for the living room is the gross orange/brownish color.  The picture actually makes it look better than it is.  

Before

Asher was really excited to help paint!  But when he helped it got very messy.  Paint on his clothes, in his hair, and when he got paint on the carpet we had to stop him which he was VERY unhappy about.  Since his room was all taken apart we had him sleep in our bed for naps and for a few hours at night until the paint was all dried.  He thought that was really exciting!

After!  We still have to paint the ceiling white, but I think it looks so much better.  The room doesn't look so gloomy and David said it felt bigger.  Now on to the rest of the house!
