SIX!


Wow! My firstborn is six! In a lot of ways it seems like Asher has just always been a part of my life, but I still can't believe he's growing up so fast! He is the sweetest, most caring little guy I know and makes our lives so happy! He is a great big brother and a very hard worker. He loves to think about things and most of all loves to play. I did the same birthday interview that I've done for the past few years. I got some of the same answers as ever, but a few new ones:
Who is your favorite person? Mom
What is your favorite color? Blue
What is your favorite thing to watch on TV? My Little Pony
What is your favorite outfit? Red robot shirt and blue shorts
What song do you like the best? I Love to See The Temple
What is your favorite cereal? Honey Nut Cheerios
Who is your best friend? Leif
What do you want to do when your grow up? Farmer and Construction Worker
What is your favorite book? I don't have a favorite, but I really like a truck book from the library in Colorado (he earned it during the summer reading program last year)
What are you really good at? Doing tricks (like jumping)
Where do you wish you could go on vacation? To Idaho (great grandma and grandpa's farm)
What would you buy if you had a lot of money? Something expensive, like a really nice map or a huge truck
What is your favorite dinner? Enchilada skillet (but he wants chicken rolls for his birthday dinner)
If you could have a wish, what would it be? That we could make 100 chocolate waffles
What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? Vanilla with Oreos in it
Who do you want to be like? Jesus
What do you like to do with your friends? Play with them
What do you hope you'll get to do before your next birthday? Have fun
What is your favorite thing to do? Be happy and go to the zoo
What are you proud of? When I do really good handwriting
What are you afraid of? Monsters
What is Mom's favorite thing to do? Snuggle
How strong is Dad? Really strong
What does Dad do best? Wrestle
What does Mom do best? Have fun with us
What do you like best about Dad? He's fun
What do you like best about Mom? She makes chocolate waffles

For Asher's birthday, we did our traditional chocolate waffles with strawberries and whipped cream. Then Asher, Leif, and Heidi helped my mom finish putting together their trampoline (Austin got it started a few weeks ago, but for the first time since it got disassembled in Colorado, they got to jump on it today). Trevor took a little nap during this time then we all loaded into the car to go berry picking, which is what Asher wanted to do for his birthday activity. We got lots and lots and lots of raspberries (3 4-liter baskets full) then came home for Asher's choice of lunch- macaroni and cheese and tomato soup. The boys then wanted to watch a few episodes of My Little Pony (their favorite show over the last few months) while Heidi napped and went to the park for a bit to play with a neighbor friend. We had chicken rolls for dinner and once Austin finally finished working, we had cake and opened presents (which Asher had been waiting for all day- although he did get to open a couple throughout the day).
