Water, water, everywhere!

Oh, how Asher loves water! At the play area they have a place where kids (or anyone) can play in the water spouts. They take turns coming out of different grates in the ground. Asher loved playing in the water. If you look closely at the progression of the pictures, you can see him getting wetter, and wetter, and wetter! He doesn't care if the water comes down on his head or his face as long as it's not too hard. He only got upset if he got too cold, or if the spout of water went so high that it was coming down too hard for him. Otherwise he had LOTS AND LOTS OF FUN!

Fun playing

Also on the 8th Asher and I went to a play area at the San Tan Village Mall (we met friends there, too, though I didn't get pictures of them!) Asher had such fun playing, but the best part was the WATER! (see above)

Daddy's socks

Yes, I'm way behind on blogging, but I've just been so busy this last month that it's hard to get the time in! Well, this picture was from the 8th, but it's still very cute! Paeter put his socks on Asher's arms, and Asher had fun walking around with them on!

Oh, I almost forgot.

This one's for my family in PA. Here's a picture of a real live roadrunner. I think it even said, "Meep, meep!"

Trip to the Zoo

We took our first trip to the Phoenix zoo on Friday with some other moms with kids Asher's age. We had lots of fun...well, after Asher got some food and a little snuggle time, we had fun. He didn't eat a very good breakfast, so he was hungry and sleepy (because he wasn't getting a morning nap) and hot (it was at least 90 degrees, I think!), and at one point, poopy, too! But, after we got all that out of the way, Asher did much better!

So, here he is BEFORE the breakdown, at the very beginning of the day.

And here's all the moms and babies that came!

And here's Asher getting some snuggle time because...well, he just needed it, I guess! (thanks for letting us borrow your sling, Susan!)

And here's Asher MUCH happier being able to play in the dirt...

...and with a tractor (his first time)!

Cousins!

Early on in the week out in PA we were able to get all the cousins together to take a picture! Yes, we had a similar one taken last Christmas, as well. But, this time there's a new addition! Little Alliyah is the newest cousin---but not for long!

Family Reunion

While we were in PA we went to our Corbett Family Reunion. It was great to see so many people we haven't seen in A WHILE, and catch up at least a little bit! Here's my Dad (Papa) with all his sisters and his mom (his brother couldn't make it that day).

My Dad got a good picture of Asher playing in the grass!

Ooooh! A puppy! This is the first time Asher's been around a BIG dog and I was wondering how he would react. But, have no fear because he loved this dog just as much as the cute little ones he gets to play with at Nana and Papa's and Aunt Karyne's and Uncle Jon's! He has such a GREAT time with this puppy!

Trip to PA

So, we did take a trip out to PA to visit my family, and I didn't take very many pictures, so all of the ones below are from Papa Corbett (thanks, Dad!). I got sick halfway through the visit with THE SOREST throat I've EVER had, and was down for the count for several days. So, I don't have any pictures of half of our family!! :-( Well, here are the ones I DO have.

Here's Asher looking uncertain while Uncle Jeff (my older brother) is holding him.

And here's Asher looking even MORE uncertain while Uncle Sean (my younger brother) is holding him!

The four of us are enjoying something online (maybe comedians? I can't remember exactly). By the way, that's a VERY pregnant (7 1/2 months--child #5!!!) sister-in-law, Mandy, sitting beside me.

And here's Asher enjoying his 2 new toys from Grandma and Papa Corbett.

Twins!

Melissa Stephenson, this post is especially for you! I asked Nana Dee and Papa Tim if they would be able to get a picture of Asher in this outfit sitting in their walker, because Aaron Stephenson has the SAME outfit and access to the SAME walker and Melissa posted it on their blog a while back, so I thought I would do the same! :-)

LOTS of blogging to do!

Well, since it has been almost A MONTH (Yikes!) since I last blogged, I figured I had a lot of catching up to do! I hope I can remember what all went on this past month! I last posted 3 days before we left for our trip to PA, so we'll start back there....
