2!

 Happy Birthday Asa!  I think Asa has one of the most beautiful smiles in the world, besides Kyran of course! We had a fun day trying to entertain the birthday boy. I am a little sad that he was not able to be surrounded by extended family.But I tried hard so he wouldn't feel deprived today.

We took him to the" dead animal zoo" as Quinn calls it, at Cabellas, which he totally loved, and then we got some energy out at Albertsons park. He ran, and chased the geese and got really tired and worn out!

 

This little boy was just as sweet as ever. Kyran just enjoys being along for the ride.  He has his 4 top teeth coming in right now, poor guy. But you would hardly know it by how good he is. 

In spite of the few tantrums we had today  I think it was a good 2nd birthday! I  love trying to make his day extra special!

I am grateful every single day that we have been blessed to have Asa in our family. He is truly a special  little boy and makes me so grateful to be a mom!!

I LOVE YOU ASA QUINN!

Thanks to Quinn and his hard work this summer, our family was rewarded with a day of fun!  We went on a train ride up in Horseshoe Bend . It took us all the way to the North Pole!

It was our first time on a train, and it was exciting for all of us. I think the boys faces describes it best. 

They got to meet Santa and Mrs. Clause, Asa was so excited to see him from far away, But as soon as he came to see us, he clammed up and wouldn't say a thing! Figures....

It was still really cute.

...and Kyran doesn't really like anyone. But it was worth a try!

(I am kidding. he's a SWEET boy, just a HUGE mamma's boy which I totally love)

I have learned as parent I now live my life for these sweet little moments of happiness. I love to see my boys smile and laugh. 

What a fantastic day!

Winter...Bleh...This is basically how our winter has gone so far. But cute, right?  We have to find silly ways to entertain ourselves indoors. Here in Boise, Winter has basically just begun but I am so much craving  some warm summer sun. I think I am in for a long winter!

This picture is just so funny to me. Kyran being a goofball! 

Some days I get so tired of being stuck inside our cramped apartment. But I know that it's not forever and I am so grateful I have been blessed with  a warm home filled with 3 amazing people!

Not a bad trade off huh?
