HaRrY PoTtEr!

I LOVE the drive-in, and I love Harry Potter, so I was so excited that the last Harry Potter was coming out in the summer so I could go to it at the drive-in! I have been counting down all summer, much to Jason's dismay. He doesn't really like HP but he tolerates the movies for me! So I had it all planned out that we were going to go Friday the 15 (the day it released) but Jason came home Thursday and asked if I wanted to go to the drive-in that night. I asked what was playing and he said "What do you think?" So apparently because it was the second movie it was like a midnight viewing of the show on Thursday! I was SO excited!

 Asher watching his pre-movie, movie!

 This (and getting popcorn) are probably Asher's favorite part of going to the drive-in. He loves sitting in the back of the truck with all the blankets.

 The dogs get to go too!

 Ice Age

This is how excited Jason was for Harry Potter

We saw Green Lantern first and then HP. As soon as the previews before Green Lantern were over, Asher was asleep! But it worked out nice for us! He slept the whole time! After that I made Jason have a HP marathon at home! I can't wait for it to come out on dvd!

Playin' in the Rain

Asher really likes the rain! The other night we were outside playing and it started raining, but he didn't want to come in, so me and Jason sat under the covered deck, and let him play in the rain! He would occasionally come for a visit, but then it was back out into the rain!

 Rainbow!

 Taking a short break

 He was trying his hardest to get us to come play too! I did for a while, but didn't last as long as he did!

 He wanted to take some pictures too, which I'll show you later

 He was being so cute and kind of weird all at the same time

 Laying on the cement, kissing the patio

 He crawled all over the patio splashing in the puddles

 Here he comes!

 Asher and Mom

 Picture of Daddy that Asher took, Dad didn't last as long as we did. He came inside to play on the computer, and watch tv.

He loves taking pictures of his own feet! I have one of both of his feet on my phone!

Random Summer Fun

So we have been having lots of fun this summer, and I'm so sad that it is almost over! That means we're headed
back to being indoors all day while it's super cold outside :( But I guess we'll just have to make the most of what's left! Asher loves being outside, as long as it's not too hot. Some of his favorite passtimes include:

 Playing with the hose

 Watch out!

 He's such a big helper about filling the dog's water dish

 This was when we went out to parents house one day, and my sister-in-law gave us some old toys she was going to take to DI. Asher insisted on holding this one and his dvd player the whole way home

 Riding his bike he got for his birthday (a couple of months early!)

 He still won't peddle though, just makes you push him

 He mows the lawn (and my house) a couple of times a day! And always remembers to turn it "on" and "off"! (There is a "key" thing on it that he always turns when he wants to start it and stop it)

 He is such a good helper making grilled pizza with mom. He spreads the flour around for me

 Such a cheesy boy

 Peek-a-boo

 Progression of getting his bike off the patio

 Next step....grass

 He's really good at helping Dad with the yard work

 I love that I caught them at the same moment in their shoveling

And of course the swing is still a favorite!

4th!

We had such a fun fourth! We started out by having our own firework show in our backyard.

 Asher did not want to hold the sparkler! He was fine looking at it, but he was not going to hold it!

 No way mom!

 Shanyce spent the whole night hiding behind me, and Oso spent the whole night hiding in the house

 Going to "help" Daddy

 

Lighting the fireworks!

 Watching the show

 He was much happier this year, than he was last

 

Waiting for the Menan Parade to start

 Dad and Ash

 Just sitting with the kids, waiting for some candy

 

Down at the greenbelt

 He had so much fun climbing in and out of the "trunk" of his bike stroller!

 Just being good

 Oso on lookout for stray fireworks! He was just as nervous this year as he was last, hopefully by next year, he's over it!

 Shanyce

 Trying to find some grub!

 

Notice the top of his head?! Yea, he fell out of the "trunk" right onto hie noggin! He got over it quick though

 Watching his movie! And no we couldn't get all the dirt of his head!

 Playing run around the tree

 And yes those are the same shorts he wore last year! Skinny little guy!

Asher was not for getting his picture taken, he was watching a movie and didn't want to stop for pictures! Thanks for taking the picture Sebastian! Until next fourth!
