The Many Faces of Asher!

Okay, so I know I was really bad about posting pictures over the last couple of months (sorry), but things have been a little crazy here. For starters, JD did not get the job teaching in Yakima, so he has started the process of becoming either a border patrol agent or a DPS officer (highway patrol). I know what you are thinking... "Wow, that's quite a switch from teaching!". Yes it is, but JD wants a job that will finacially support our family (so I don't have to work), and I want him to have a job that he will enjoy. Both of these jobs are dangerous and they each have their pros and cons, but we are excited to see where God will lead us. Currently, JD has passed the written, oral, and fitness tests for the DPS, as well as the written, and oral exams for the border patrol (he goes in for the physical and fitness test on Wednesday). Please keep us in your prayers as we make this life changing decision.

Since I was so bad about putting up pictures fo my boy over the past few months, I decided to post a bunch of pictures that reflect a little about Asher's adorable personality. Hope you enjoy!!

Boys and Their Toys

Asher's Nana and Papa (my parents) are always buying "their baby" presents. Papa is so funny, because he always wants to buy him toys that are not quite age appropriate. Here are a couple of pictures of Papa and Asher playing with a remote control truck that Asher got a month before his 1st birthday. I think Asher is enjoying himself:).

This is a picture of Asher a couple of weeks later... He was so proud of himself, because he learned how to make it move by himself (kind of).

Asher's Birthday Bash!!!

What a busy but a fun day. We had our first birthday party for Asher and his friends all showed up. Asher's and his cousins were so cute playing together. I made California Rolls, Amber made deviled eggs, my mom brought Korean pancakes that were assorted by beef, crab, and squid...(YUM!!!) I like them alot. Nanna and Papa brought the delicious fruits. The pine apples were excellent!!!Finally, my brother OP and Ellen brought the delicious cake. Asher was going to town with it. Asher's friends from church came to wish him a happy birthday too. Camille and Isabelle came and had a great time too.

I made a t-shirt commemorating his birthday. Asher is texting his friends and my brother to buy him an IPOD. I wanted to way BYOB (Bring your own boobs) but my wife didn't like that idea so I changed it to BYOM (Bring your own milk).




We went with a dinosaur theme since Asher seemed to like the Dinosaur pinata (and it was cheaper than Sponge bob pinata)

(If you notice, the small dinosaur pinata is hanging on the light fixture)

Asher's Birthday Bash!!!

Asher had a great time with family, friends and his own personal cake!!! **WARNING. THIS IS MESSY**

Fun in the sun!

Asher loves swimming at his Nana and Papa's house! The pool has been so nice and warm since it's always over 100 degrees here in the summer. Enjoy these pictures of my pool babe:).
