joys for the boy

Asher has been a little cranky lately. Hmmmm let see…Not sleeping will do that to you, dude. Anyway, I’ve been trying to give him some TLC and grin and bear it. This situation and nap and bedtime is for the birds. I am grabbing extra cuddles and trying my derndest to be patient. And I’m not going to lie, it was kind of nice when he fell asleep on my the other afternoon. Like a sweet lil’ baby.
Like I was saying…frustrated… he doesn’t wanna sleep and he wants to play, and playing needs to involve being outside. It is still quite hot and or raining most days. So this afternoon when he was about to burst at the seams I released the little bull from his pen and he went bucking and stomping down the driveway. It was the best!



baby bird just waiting for a worm?

or little boy who found a dripping of raindrops?


Don’t judge me if drinking rain from the rooftop isn’t safe… I’m kind of a “what doesn’t kill him will build up his immunity” kind of mom.

And look how happy it makes him..And we need happy around these parts.

#2 Joy
It happens……The sound of daddy’s truck. No greater joy to this boy’s ears.

panic strikes, can I get to him as fast as I want??

he sees the truck and smiles

He loves his dad, like, a lot




Do you see this smug face?!?! It says ,“I won mom, I got my daddy”
