The Half-Crowder

This is David Crowder. He leads a band by the name of The David Crowder Band. The band is one of our favorites...especially live in concert. They play great music (according to us). He (Crowder) also has a very desirable and fun hair-style (according to Mark). Asher is half-way there!
The other half will have to wait til he's 16...unless he is 'blessed' with Mark's inability to grow facial hair.

We salute you men who deal with 5 o'clock shadows!

Best friends.

Best friends. Everyone has one. Or two. Or three.

Some boys love dogs.

Some girls love diamonds.

Asher has one ultimate love in life....

his very best friend...

is a remote.



Happy Wednesday,

You just never know...

...what shenanigans might be happening in the Thompson house on a daily basis. This is what my sweet baby boy looked like today. He was sporting a new outfit that Grammy bought for him at a crazy good Carter's sale. (Thanks again, Grammy!)



A short while later, I find Asher dressed like this...



While I was making a grocery list in the kitchen, Asher and his daddy were in our bedroom playing and being silly. As I was finishing up my list and ready to head to the store, I went into the bedroom to see why Asher was laughing so loud when I found him like this...



So, since his clothes were already half off, we decided to throw him in the bath-tub for a good soak. While lounging in his tub, he displayed some crazy acrobatic leg skills...



We are signing him up for "Cirque du Soleil" tomorrow.



The proud parents,
Mark and Allyson:)

Ohio Weekend

Asher and I had a fantastic trip home to Ohio this weekend! As you can see by the picture above, Asher had nothing but fun all weekend long. I know I am his mom and I have to think this, but he really is the best little boy. He was a trooper on the drive to Ohio, did great being the center of attention and passed around, and even survived our 6 hour and 20 minute trip home (should have been 4 1/2 hours...but hit a little traffic). Here are a few shots of our weekend fun...

We started off the weekend with dinner with Aunt Megan and Uncle Andy...
