well the day has come that my little baby girl started school. i thought this first picture was funny because her backpack is almost as big as she is. even though it might look silly, her school insisted that they have full size backpacks and here is the result. my children are hard to get good pics of because they have taken after their father with the eyes closed pictures. these are the best that i got. she didn’t want to be taking pics, she just wanted to get to school.
she never even looked back when she walked into class. she was very excited when i picked her up though, it was very cute! i can’t believe that she is this old already.
there is nothing more that i dread than to get out the fingerpaints. they are messy and a pain to say the least. lily had been asking me for a long time to let her fingerpaint and i told her that when my mom visited that she could. well needless to say that when my mom finally came to visit, the first thing out of her mouth was can i paint? well i decided not to deny her any longer so here are the results. Jackson had never done this before so here is what she taught him to do. jackson had a blast!
here’s a new song that jana and i recorded. it’s actually from jojo’s circus. it’s a song that we heard a couple years ago and always wanted to record but never really got around to it. well, the stars were in alignment and we finally got the time to throw it down on the proverbial tape. so, for your enjoyment (hopefully)…
there are many times during the week that i want to go crazy. on one day in particular, it seemed like all of my children were out to get me. no one would listen and i was very frustrated. at the peak of my frustration, yo gabbagabba came on and saved my life (or should i say my children’s lives). jackson grabbed my hand and said in his cute little voice “dance.” he wanted me to hold him and dance around the room to the song that was on. i started to laugh and quickly grabbed him up and started dancing with him. the next thing i know, lily has joined in and all of us were laughing and having the best time. it was amazing how quickly i went from pulling out my hair to having the best time with my babies.
i love this show. i know it is my friends show and some might say that i am biased but it is the best kids show around. i still love jojo and her cute little voice but as far as engaging my children and getting them up off the couch, it does the trick. the music is catchy and the dancing is fun and i love it when my kids at random start doing biz’s beats. it seriously cracks me up.
thank you yo gabba gabba for making our house fun again!
so our friend kristin is an amazing photographer and she came over to shoot some pictures of asher and the kids. below is the result. i know i’m biased because he’s my kid and all, but these pictures are seriously incredible. HUGE thanks goes out to kristin!
so, here’s a picture of my very cluttered workspace. i just recently added a new item to it. any guess what it is?
let’s take a closer look.
that’s right, i’m one of those guys. the guy who couldn’t stop talking about the new apple product that was supposed to change the world. the revolutionary new phone that was also a widescreen ipod, internet portal and breakthrough communications device and was rumored to have the ability to cure minor illnesses. that was me. and i finally got it a couple of days ago. now, i won’t give you any sort of in depth review as there’s a million places you can go for that. but i will say this: it is the coolest thing i’ve ever owned. “but it’s so expensive! i’ll wait for 6 months when it will be half the price.” yeah, go ahead. give me a call when that happens. “there’s no physical keyboard. i would hate that!” i can type just as fast on the iPhone as i can on a regular keyboard (i’m not sure if that says more about how fast i can type on the iPhone or how slow i type on a standard keyboard).
if you have any questions about how awesome this thing is, just give me a call. please (i love to use this thing). or send me an email. i’ll get it on the iPhone. or a text message. i get those too.
so, it’s official. his name is asher sparks heller. baby and mother came home this morning from the hospital. dad immediatly had to ditch them to go to work for a couple hours (is that horrible parenting, or what?). enjoy the photos.
