Asher turns 6!

Hello again...we now return you to your regularly scheduled posts! Asher turned 6 on the 22nd of June and so we all celebrated with a little cake, candy and presents...
Asher chose pizza for dinner...

and I made him a cake which kind of looks like a very Hagrid like cake...I made the frosting so he chose the colors from whatever food coloring we had...it kind of looks like it says Happy birthday Asber rather than Asher....oh well it tasted pretty good I think.
6 candles on the cake...even though that mornign he tried to tell me he was still 5
Some of the presents were wrapped in Christmas paper.



While mine and Mary's we're wrapped in decorated newpaper.



Andrew gave hima card with money in it...he flipped it was pretty funny



Afterwards he got to deal out the candy he got for his birthday nothing makes all your siblings your best friend like having 3 different bags of junkfood.



Anyway I am officially caught up I think...though I think I have to go take some more pictures tonight of the kids at cub scout camp....ah well...

At the Beach

Okay so we went to the beach a bit ago and there are way too many pictures so Mary helped me make a web album so you can peruse them at your leisure.

It was a little cold for the beach and so I didn't intentionally get into the water (though it snuck up on me while I was making a sand castle.) Andrew buried himself standing upright until the lifeguard told him he couldn't dig anymore, Alyssa spent a lot of time on the boogie board, and Donald collected nearly a hundred shells. All other such mayhem happened and fun was had by all....so check out the pictures theres actually two different albums for it because I took a lot of pictures...like 1000's of pictures...so go on peruse.
