Going to the Aquarium with Asher! (and Kim)

Is Asher just as long?

They were all sleeping. Isn't he cute?

Asher found a good seat!

I look cute in my hat.

This squid's eye is bigger than my head!

I don't want to be a diver!!!!!

Asher got to touch some starfish and other sea things.

Asher, Kim, and a big turtle!

Asher's first trip to the beach!

It was so cold outside! Asher got really tired of the wind! We covered his stroller up with blankets and then he was happy again.

We stopped in Depot Bay on our way back from the wedding to take pictures of the beautiful water there.

I love the ocean!

Nick and Alena's wedding

Here comes the bride.

With this ring, I thee wed.

Kris sang "You Raise me Up".

Nick and Alena are so happy to be getting married!

Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Nick Belleque.

You may kiss the bride!

We could make ourselves icecream sundaes instead of having cake. It was yummy!

Jessica was the "Whipped Cream Princess"!

Asher sure enjoyed the icecream!

Weddings are always nice opportunities to get nice family pictures!

Hannah looks very pretty in her purple dress.

RJ was in the wedding. He looks very nice in all black.

Jessica was also in the wedding. She looks pretty. I like how her hair was done.

Rosie looks so pretty in her dress. I really love her sparkly green dress.

It took me a full day to realize that Joel was wearing Alena's wedding colors!

RIP Baby

Our rat, Baby, passed away recently. She was very old, but very sweet.

Having fun with Ferrets in the park!

Rosie's Band Concert

Rosie played well. She even had a solo in "Somewhere over the rainbow".

Alena's Wedding Shower

Alena sure loves all the presents piled on the table for her!

Alena loves this present, but Asher is not impressed. He gives it one big raspberry!

Hey, mommy! I'm your gift now!

Mom, Jessi, and Ellen all scrunched and happy on the couch.

The Hat

I made this hat for Asher. I wasn't sure if it would fit. It is kind of like a skull cap. :)

Oh, Great-Grandma! You're so funny! It's also funny how it fits grandma the same as it fits Asher. ;) Does that mean grandma has a small head or Asher has a big head?

Grrr! Lets shake the life out of this hat!!!!!!!!!!!

Pbth!!!!! I must sing and shake this hat to death!!!!!!!!!!!

Big Boy Asher (a whopping 8 months old!)

Look! I can stand up on my own! I'm so big!

Where did Grandpa go? He's so funny!

Asher has such beautiful eyes! He is so gorgeous!

Reaching out for his pacifier in his sleep? Nothing is more fun than taking a nap with daddy.

As much of a toothy grin as Asher can give.
