Its been a year! Asher is a year! Can you believe it? He is our little salsa dancer that wobbles back and forth from room to room playing and babbling all day long. Thankful for this little guy.  More and more of his personality comes out daily amid all the grunts and ooo's as we try to understand him.  He belly laughs at Shepherd now at random silly things he does. Its adorable! It sometimes tickles shepherd too that he can't stop laughing with/at him.  We will be on the road today driving to visit Kimmel's granddad and extend family in east Texas, so we did the smash cake last night. Asher wasn't a huge fan of the cake, we had to ask Shepherd to show him that its yummy. A request he did not have a problem obeying. I'm sure as Asher gets older he will love cake too.  Hope you get to spend time with your loved ones today or tomorrow and its a special time! Happy Thanksgiving y'all! :) 

Man i am really out of shape with keeping up with the blog. It is a habit that i have dropped and can't seem to pick up well yet. Thanks to you who read this still! :) This month seems to have become our month of birthdays for friends and family. Kimmel's best friends' is on the 27, 4 from his family and My best friend's since first grade is the 13th, while another best friend, from college is the 15th and couple others i noticed on Facebook. Yesterday was Kimmel's bday! 29 years old. He went to work with homemade cards and blueberry muffins in his new shirt. He spoke at FCA in the morning at his middle school! Said it went really well. We have plans for dinner and Mockingjay over the weekend to celebrate! Last weekend we celebrated the newest addition to our birthday month Asher. Found a cute teepee invitation and went with that for the theme.  The best gift of all my sister flew in for it and surprised us all!! So much fun! The boys love

If you watch any tv I'm sure you have seen this commercial but it is by far my favorite right now and makes me laugh every time! :D My favorite is when she says 'i should totally start a blog'! Its so true that there is an expectation for us SAHM (stay at home mom) to do a blog. To write inspirational wise things that everyone will love, like and share on social media. I know cause i have tried to do that....but i can only muster up about once a month of anything inspiring for anyone to read! Or find time to do it! Mostly this blog is for family keeping up with us since all mine is back in VA and now we live near no family.  I know i have had days like this commercial shows and I'm sure you have too! (cue spiritual connection) Like this lady who has allstate to call when she messed up her car, we have God to call on when our day is messed up! :) so thankful for that!
