Tonight I came across some pictures throughout this past year that i really loved wanted to share some of them with all of you to go with it are some fun fact about what Asher has been up to and all the new tricks he has learned lately.
1) "Yeah" is currently one of Asher's favorite words. When we can't see him playing in another room and he is being oddly quite I often ask Asher questions such as " Asher are you being naughty?" or " Are you doing something you know you're not suppose to be doing?" he almost always answers with a "Yeah!"
2) Asher's favorite thing to play with and eat is dirt. I know weird but he obsesses about it. Everywhere we go its "dit" in Ashe'rs language. My parents have a lot of plants in their home and he when we aren't looking he grabs a bunch puts half of it in his mouth and then squishes the other other half everywhere. We usually find a dirt trail leading into another room or two. When we go outside to play he also heads straight to the dirt.
3) Asher loves loves animals especially kitty's. One word that does come out clear is kitty. Too bad animals don't love him and usually run when they see him. Even dog are called kitty.
4) Asher is such a Chocolate lover just like his dad ( I dont care much for chocolate, I like my salty things bettter.) He even knows if something is brown it's most likely chocolate if it isn't chocolate he is usually disappointed.
5) He has such a tender heart. We have recently been teaching him to fold his arm's and be quite during prayer. Sometimes we get into a hurry during dinner usually when Benj has to be back to work in thirty minutes and sometimes forget to pray. He usually looks at us and folds his arms and waits till we pray before he will eat.
6) Asher loves music. If he likes the beat to the music he will drop whatever he is doing just to dance.
7) His favorite things to play with are my kitchen spatulas and plastic bowls.
8) Asher loves reading. Usually he fights us going to bed but if we read him a couple of books he goes down without a fight but usually asks us to read him a couple of more.
9) Asher loves fruit, but wont drink juice. He hates juice he wont even swallow most of the time, he usually will give it a try and then when it gets into his mouth he opens his mouth and lets is all drain out onto his shirt. But we always bring baby organic fruit pouches everywhere with us and if he seems them he will hand them to us and drink the whole fruit pouch usually in one sitting.
10) Asher is very friendly and loves to give kisses and hugs to almost anyone who will take it from him. My dad didn't like his open mouth kisses and said something about it to us when Asher was around. He must have understood because after that all or mostly all of his kisses are closed mouth kisses.
11) Asher already has a best friend and loved him Lincoln and his baby sister V. Asher loves them both and can never stop laughing when around him.
12) Asher is already really good at ignoring us. When we tell him not to do something or to do something or to even simple come here he will look at us say "What?" a couple of times and then pretends to not hear us and does whatever he wants.
13) He is already good at taking pictures when we tell him to smile he usually cheeses it. What a ham.
14) we honestly couldn't have been blesses with a more perfect child in our lives. He is always so happy even when he is sick and rarely disobeys us. I hate that he is growing up so fast and is so eager to do so.
Here are my top favorite pictures we have of him so far.

My Baby Turned One
I cant believe Asher has already turned one. Its been a crazy year but I wouldnt have traded it for the world. We didnt really celebrate Ashers birthday yet because we wanted to celebrate it with some close family and friends. And if you know my dads profession he is EXTREMELY busy from October til April. So we are celebrating in this next Sunday. When that time comes I will post pictures and write a little more about it. But for now I just wanted to write down some things he has been doing.
Asher At Age One:
Asher At Age One:
- weights 20 pounds (25th percentile)
- is 28 inches (10th percentile)- we have a short stalky baby on our hands.
- He has four teeth. -- his two front teeth have a huge gap in between them we found out today its because of the skin that is attached to his lip goes clear down to the bottom of his gums, they said if something doesnt happen at 18 months we might have to go see an ears, nose and throat doctor from them to cut it.
- Which brings me to my next point, Asher has a hard time breathing through his nose and is a huge snorer, he has a hard time sleeping at night, which is why I cant say Asher sleeps through the night, When talking to our doctor about it he said Asher nose passage is too small for his body, and he might have some problems with adenoids?. They also said that they cant really do anything about it till he is 18 months old. so we will see. but he still wakes up from this nose problems probably any where from 1-4 times a night.
- Asher also has one eye thats a little crossed we are watching for that as well and might have to see an eye doctor for it when he turns 18 months
- He has been walking since 9 months old and hasnt stopped there, he now climbs on couches over the baby gate, and even pushes things over to stand on them when something is just a little too high for him.
- He says lots of words such as: GO GO GO, No, yes, Mom, dad, more, dadis ( there it is), hey, hi, hello ( heywo), num num and a lot of others things we cant understand.
- Knows some sign language, more, tired, thirsty, hungry.
- Still taking two naps a day ( one hour each)
- fitting into 18 month tops and 9-12 month pants
- can eat everything but his favorite foods are Bananas, pineapple, oatmeal, and chicken, and milk
- He hates juice,
- officially taking pacifiers only at nap time and bed time.
- Still cant do stairs
- Loves dancing

It's not about losing weight it's about living a healthier life style
Lately I have has some things on my mind that make me want to be a better person. A lot people in today's world only think about losing weight and getting to their goal weight, or having a nice looking body. At first this is the only thing I would think of. In my mind I just kept thinking when I get to the weight I want and I look good I can go back to eating junk food and not working out anymore. After many talks with my sister and a lot of discouraging feelings I had with myself I realize that it isn't just about losing weight. Its about living healthy, being healthy and being a good example for those you love. In high school I was a super skinny girl. I was proud of it with little to no exercise weighing 110 pounds and eating whatever I wanted. This isn't the case anymore I wish it was so that I could look and feel good all of the time but it just isn't the case. Now that I have dedicated myself to living better not just physically but spiritually I feel there is a need to share and help inspire others as well as allowing myself to understand that its not always about losing the weight, though that does help push me a little more :D
It isnt going to be a fast process or easy but I promise it will be worth.
Asher's fun in the snow.
I know we havent posted in a while its hard to keep up with life at times. I cant believe my baby is almost one. I feel like I just had him yesterday. During the Christmas break we took Asher outside to play with my family. It was a new adventure for him and I think at times he wasn't so sure about everything. But in the end I think he loved it, and just enjoyed riding in the sled and on the four wheeler. We are blessed to have such a sweet boy in our lives and when his birthday comes around I will update more then.

Boise Trip
This last week I went to Boise, it was a little scary driving by myself but Asher did awesome on both drives. We got spend the weekend with my sister. It was pretty low key, which was perfect for me. While we were there we met up with my Grandma and Grandpa Quinn which is Asher's Great Grandma and Grandpa Quinn. It was nice to catch up with them and hear about my grandpa's war stories, he was a marine for a long time and served in World War two.
I also wanted to share a couple of pictures of Asher just being silly, clapping his hands and his new obsession of playing with door stoppers.
Asher's first tooth he now has his second bottom one.
Love that he claps his hands.

For Halloween this year we kept it pretty low key, I mean after all
Asher really is only 9 months old and had no clue what was going on. But
we still wanted to celebrate so we carved a pumpkin the night before. I
should say Benj carved a pumpkin and Asher and I played with the guts.
Asher was a big fan, though Benj wasn't. Ben worked on Halloween so my
friend Jill and I dressed up and took Asher out in his costume. Jill
dressed up as a dog, I as a farmer and Asher as a hamburger. It was a
fun halloween this year but I cant wait till next year when he actually
understands whats going on.

It's Been a Long Time
Lately life has been.. to say the least hectic and crazy. We are both in school right now and both taking 14 credits. On the bright side we both graduate with our bachelor degrees in two semesters. Which means we only have a year left of school. Sometimes it makes us want to pull our hair out, but we are getting though it. Sometimes it hard because we dont see each other often enough. An hour here and there but thats about it.
I had an amazing birthday this year. We spent it as a pretty normal day, school, homework, baby sat. That night though I had an amazing dinner with some good friends and of course Benj, and Asher. Benj spoiled me this year with a new camera, thats the real reason I havent updated my blog in a long time.
Asher is doing great. Growing fast, I miss him being a baby already. He is crawling, standing, and already taking a couple of steps here and there. He is going to be walking in no time. He loves his food and got his first tooth a couple of weeks ago. He is now starting to get his second tooth in.
As you can see the last time we posted pictures of him he was really really little.
Last week we ended up in the emergency room for Benj. For some reason he thought he could jump over a hand rail and not just any hand rail a hand rail that was probably 5 feet from the cement. As Benj jumped over it his left foot got caught on the rail and he caught himself on the cement. Though we did spend three hours in the emergency room with a very unhappy, hungry, needing a diaper change baby we were lucky enough to walk away with just a sprain. But his arm ended up swollen and bruised pretty bad.
