Hoarder.

 

Asher hoards. He can't help himself. If you were to look at the floorboards of our cars and saw random clothes/toys everywhere it would be a direct result of Asher. When we head out the door to go anywhere, he immediately grabs as many things as he can get his hands on and heads for the car. We went out to dinner tonight with some friends. I looked back at him before we got to the restaurant to see that he had put an extra t-shirt on his head, was clutching onto a pillow pet, and had also brought a truck and a bus with him. What a silly kid.

His proud mother,

Family 5K

Mark and I have been doing the couch to 5K running program. It is a 9 week program that gets you ready to run 3.1 miles at one time. Mark signed us up for a 5K in Louisville for June 2nd. The only problem with this is that we were only 6 weeks into the program! I was a little nervous this morning because I really wanted to run the whole time. The only problem was that I was pushing Asher in a stroller and my longest stretch of running without walking had only been 20 minutes. Yikes!

Here is a picture of us pre-race. Mark made a goal for us to finish in under 32 minutes. I said "Sure!" but in my head was thinking "yeah, right."

Asher looks a little perplexed in this picture, but he really was having a good time:)

This is basically what Levi did the whole time. Strollers make him sleepy:)

 

This is us post-race. I am happy to report that we ran the entire time and finished in 31 minutes and 50 seconds! Holy moly, I couldn't believe it. Mark could have run much faster, but he graciously ran with me the whole time. What a good guy:)

Graduation

Graduation is such a bittersweet time for us as a youth pastor and youth pastor's wife. This year was no exception. We have had both of these girls in our youth group since they were 7th graders. Last night we watched them cross the stage and receive their high school diplomas. We are so excited for them to experience college, but we are so sad to see them go. They have grown up right before our eyes and have definitely become part of our extended family. We love you Morgan and Leah!

As you can see from these pictures, Levi was really excited about graduation:)

 

Happy Summer!
