We took a day trip to Horton Creek, which is a little over an hour away.  I just love living by the mountains.  It’s so fun to be able to drive an hour or two and escape the summer heat for camping and hiking.  It was so wonderful to let the boys run through the woods and wade through the chilly creek water.

Skim Board Sunday!  Nothing like a $12 garage sale score :).

Crazy Hair Day at school.  Asher wanted “American Flag colors” and a mohawk…and of course Beck had to be just like big brother :).

And then this.  Oh my gosh, ha!  Asher wanted to bring Beck to the bathroom at the store, so I stood in one of the aisles outside because I figured it was a harmless way for Asher to show me he can take good care of his brother.  I hear loud cackling going on in there, and I saw a lady walk out of the bathroom smiling and chuckling, so I figured it was time I intervened.  I opened the door to this, ha!  I do love this picture.  I see a little brother who wanted to emulate his big brother.  I see team work.  I see a big brother taking care of his little brother by doing all he could to help him wash his hands.  As crazy as it looks, I still consider this a victory :).

The boys LOVE going to this arcade!  This is their favorite part :).

Beck is doing awesome at his swim lessons!  He graduated to the next class.  He’s a Sea Lion now :).

Asher has been loving baseball with Coach Brian!  It’s his first year playing on the Grays, and it’s an honor to be on the team!

This was his first baseball game ever, and he was first up to bat.  Of course he wasn’t nervous a bit…but pretty excited that he creamed it :).

Cheering squad :).

Painting and popcorn date with my little :).

Sweetest little ABC’s and toe tappin’ song…

This happens more times than not.  I just love how much he adores his brother.

This is why he misses his brother.  They have so much crazy fun together :).

Daddy taught in big church.  I gave Asher my phone to take notes on it while he taught.  This is what he wrote.  Talk about the sweetest keepsake ever!
