This really couldn’t get more awesome.  These two songs are pretty much on repeat in our home.  There are not too many car rides that go without a request from one of the boys.  Asher = “Call Me Al” and Beck = “Best Shot”.  There is so much going on in these videos.  Asher’s dance moves for one, lol!!!

Good Friday and Easter.  We had a couple of beautiful services at church.  Jeremy and I will never forget the Good Friday service of 2015.  Asher took communion for the first time.  It was a special time with just the three of us taking communion together, praying, and singing songs to our Lord!  Asher, Daddy and Mommy pray for you hard every day.  That you would grow in your love and knowledge of the Lord.  That you would be devoted to Him.  That you would trust His great love for you, even when hard things in life happen.  And, that you would believe with all your heart that Jesus came down from Heaven to rescue you.  We love you so much, Asher!  This was one of our most favorite nights with you!

They’re so cute!  Beck is wearing the little suit that Grandma Olimb sewed for Jeremy when he was little :).

Easter Egg Hunt and decorating at Grandma’s!

Traditional Easter Egg Hunt with our Hoverson family!

One morning I covered all the rooms in the house looking for Beck…then I noticed him sitting outside with his blanket looking at the birds.  It was so peaceful and sweet.

Sleepy boy :).

We had our Great Strides Walk for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation this month!  God blessed us with the most beautiful day!!!  We had so many people come out on a Sunday morning to be a part of our team, and show their love and support of our family.  It was incredible, and we felt so loved!

Grandma Necas came to be with us too, which was awesome!  The boys had so much fun with her :).

On that CF note.  Asher has had a pretty rough cough for awhile, and it had gotten worse and progressed over our last three clinic visits.  It just got to the point that we needed to get to the bottom of his cough.  He needed to have a CT scan and Bronch to help us collect some data on where his lungs and airways are at, and if he was growing any bacteria that we needed to treat.  Overall we were super encouraged by his results!  We’ve added an inhaled steroid to his daily regiment, and it seems to be just what his little body needed to bring down the inflammation and help him to breathe easier.  These tests were hard on both Asher and us to prepare for, but we’re thankful we have the option to run these tests and try to stay ahead of cystic fibrosis as much as we can.

We are so thankful for Mr. Austin, and all his time and effort in teaching Asher piano every week!  It’s really such a gift he is blessing Asher with to have always.  And what’s even better is that Grandma knows how to play piano too, so we get to have mini concerts when they play together :).

Both the boys got haircuts.  Asher’s was quite drastic.  He hasn’t had short hair since he was Beck’s age.  He went from being really upset about getting trims, to all of a sudden wanting it all cut off.  I do miss your locks, Asher, but you’re handsome however you want your hair!

As if we didn’t already love Arizona…then we traveled south for the first time.  The rolling prairie lands, mountains as the backdrop, vineyards…it’s so so beautiful and has my heart!  Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa Olimb and Grandma Joy Joy for letting Jeremy and I get away to enjoy all this!

And, I totally missed some memory keepers from last month!  Auntie Dana came for a visit, which makes everyone happy, and makes for more fun family memories together!

And, this was so cute.  Beck and Asher got the privilege to go to their friends birthday party with little carnival rides, which the boys loved riding.

But this was the funniest part about the whole day, and it didn’t dawn on me until looking at this picture, and coupled with the “cake incident”.  This was Beck’s second birthday party that he had been to, the week before his actual birthday.  So at home we were getting him excited for his special day…except that we kept taking him to his friends parties.  I’m sure he was feeling like, “this is great, but when is my party” ha!  I guess the frustration came to a head when he blew out his little friends birthday candles after we sang Happy Birthday to her!!  Good night.  Thankfully his little friends, and sweet momma didn’t think anything of it!  He just couldn’t handle it anymore, ha!

Such a fun April!!!
