At the Driving Range

Asher's a fan of all sports, and seems to have the attention span to even play some golf from time to time, so we hit up the driving range.  He likes to take big swings like his dad - hopefully he learns to hit it a little more straight.

Happy 3rd Birthday Asher! (a little early)

We had Asher's birthday a little early just in case his baby sister arrived before her due date.  We had a beautiful day at Wabun Park - we played at the splash pad and the new playground.  And of course we had cookies, ice cream, and opened presents!

First Bike Ride

We ventured off on our first bike ride today!

We went all the way to the library to play and read books, then stopped at the park to watch the tennis players and practice off-roading on the hills :)

I hope we get to go again tomorrow!

Juice and Powder

Asher's a big fan of adding juice and powder to his milk when he drinks it.  He often asks to have it if we pour his milk without it.  He also likes to help pour it into his milk and stir it around, which is helpful because the powder gets pretty clumpy if you don't stir it right away.  He usually asks me (Casey) to pour the juice into my mouth after I pour some into his milk, as he thinks it's pretty funny that I drink it directly from the bottle.  While he usually drinks his milk pretty fast, it's always gone in a couple gulps with the juice and powder.

I'm guessing you're wondering what this juice and powder is that makes the milk so delicious?  You may be thinking you want to add some to your milk next time if it makes a toddler drink it so fast. 

No problem - I'll let you in on the secret.  The juice is... cod liver oil!  It must be all that extra omega 3s, vitamin A and D that make it taste so good.  Our brand does add a slight lemon flavor, but don't worry, there's still some good fishy flavor there to savor (Megan can't go anywhere near it).  Like Asher, I still think it's pretty tasty.

The powder is a kid's pro-biotic.  While not too flavor enhancing, it does give the milk a nice muddy color.

And of course it means you're just drinking a big pile of bacteria invested lemon/fish flavored milk.  No wonder Asher asks for it all the time!

First Time Bowling

It was uncle Matt's birthday so we all went bowling together at Shamrocks at ate some tasty hamburgers.  Asher was either bowling or asking when it was his turn again.

Storytime with Asher

Asher is now reading to US at bedtime!  Here is one of his favorites to read, Jamberry.  Turn the speakers up...(apologies for the sideways video).

Spring is Here!
