Asa turns 2!!

Reading his new Mickey Mouse book with Dad.
I am not very crafty or creative and really have only decorated one other cake (the T-Rex for Rex's 3rd bday) so I was pretty happy with the result. It even tasted good too! Asa really likes dogs so he thought the cake was pretty cool.
He had the classic "wow" look on his face every time he opened a present. So cute. He really liked the Little Einstein's rocket that I got him. He flew that thing around for a half hour before he played with anything else.
The hand are behind his back since we have had experiences in the past with little fingers getting burned. ooops :) If you look closely here you can also see the spit hanging from his mouth and landing on the table as he is trying to blow out the candles. Luckily it didn't land on the cake!
My little 2 year old! Growing up so fast. I swear he was just my baby. We love Asa so much. He is so full of personality and attitude. His expressions are priceless. He just loves his family so much and he really is a happy boy. I couldn't ask for more. We love you Ace!

Dinosaur egg!

Looking at the empty egg.
It's hatched!
The dinosaur came up through the egg. The boys would look at it often to tell me if there was a new crack or how big the hole was.
Dipping it in the water.
This posting is for Uncle Ryan. He bought them a dinosaur egg that is supposed to hatch after 72 hours. The boys really had fun watching it grow. It was a great idea. Thanks Ryan!

Benton County Fair

Bob's Grandpa has been on the fair board for many years, so he always came to this fair when he was a kid. It is a really great fair and our boys had a really fun time. Thanks for putting together such a good fair, Grandpa & Grandma Underwood!
The boys loved the rides.


There are a lot of great animals here. The boys especially liked petting the babies...who doesn't?

Overall, it was a great day. We were able to meet up with our friends, the Kelly's, so the boys liked hanging out and seeing all the other stuff with other kids. We had some yummy elephant ears to top it all off :)
