First, I saw this little meme one day while perusing Facebook. I couldn't help but laugh as it is a PERFECT depiction of our boys Every.Single.Day.
I also saw this shirt online. Love it! I can see it would probably be a perfect shirt for our littlest trouble maker in the next couple of years!
These are a few old pictures from my friend Britni of our adorable kiddos playing together last winter. Man do we miss having them in Kenosha!

And here is a total flashback to my pregnancy with Avery and his newborn shots. My BIG belly, My BIG baby!
These days Asher is a growing like a weed and has been quickly putting his baby/toddler looks, words and actions behind him. He is becoming more and more independent by the second, and as I recently saw all of the back to school pictures popping up on Facebook, I could barely hold back the tears as I realized that that will be us next year. (..and no, we still do not know where he will be attending school, but have been working to figure that out). Despite his maturing mind, body, words and actions, there are still a few things that he says that still make us laugh. First, instead of "other" he ALWAYS says "yudder" and instead of "use" he says "oose". He also loves to talk lately and sometimes never stops, but sometimes he mouth moves faster than his brain. When this happens he with either stall with something like "because, because, because" or he will simply just say "guys I have something to tell you..." and then follow with a long pause as he figures out what that something is.
Asher is no longer a toddler, but still has his melt down moments or moments of extreme anger (sometimes for reason and others not). Although we are often caught off guard by this, sometimes he will give us a warning and say "I will scream (or cry) if you ____ (fill in the blank)".
With his growing independence, Asher likes to do things that he sees Eric and I do. He gets dressed by himself and likes to get things from the cabinets on his own, but the biggest example of this is cutting things! He loves to cut things with scissors and our house frequently looks like it was snowed on my tiny scraps of paper. He also loves to cut things with a knife. While he would love to use a sharp knife he knows that is not allowed and will settle for a butter knife. Be warned though that if you ever give him a sandwich or apple and cut it up for him you WILL get screamed at!
Last Winter during a trip to Meijer together, Asher and Eric purchased a bottle of Ninja Turtle hand soap so that Asher would have his own special soap after going potty. In April, Asher said to me: "Mom, I don't want you to use my soap!!...cause I don't want you to have ninja power!"
Also in April, Avery was not feeling well (again). When I went into his room to get him one morning I was greeted with the word, "poo". I looked down to see him rubbing his fingers together and looked more closely to find them covered in "poo". (which he had pulled out of his diaper) :(
One day Asher looked at me and said, "Mommy, you're fat." To which I replied (with a sad face) "Buddy that's not very nice". Asher's responded with "...I mean really big."
One day this Spring, the boys' daycare provider told me that Avery gave her a "first". She had put him down for a nap that day and checked on him a few minutes later to find that he was sleeping. Then a while later, she heard him upstairs so she went to check on him again. This time she found that Avery was COMPLETELY naked! He had taken off all of his clothes, including his diaper, and then peed, leaving Christina with a wet boy and room to clean up. (Sorry).
This was a conversation that Eric and I had via iMessage in June. Still makes me chuckle.
In June, we were on our way to our nephew's birthday party when we heard the sound of a phone ring over the radio. Avery promptly answered , "Hewwo?"
Summer pictures that got lost in the chaos.
This was the Mother's Day card that Eric picked out for me this year. Kind of perfect for our little family.
In May I started walking in the mornings before work. One day soon after I received this letter in the mailbox from my cute little neighbor Marge. My favorite part: "I did see Tracy walking around the block on morning. No white dog. No wagon. No Migrin boys with her. Such speed!" Lol!
Another meme that makes me laugh as it closely depicts life in our house.
...and another... (seriously! how do such little people make So.Much.Laundry?!)
In July, when Avery saw the cookie monster on my birthday cake candle, he pointed and said "Papa". For anyone that knows my Dad (aka Cookie Monster) that's pretty funny!
Again, this made me laugh. Seems like something Eric would do...although to be fair he has brought me to Hobby Lobby before just to make me smile! :)
July, 2016...Bedtime in the Migrin household:
Me (after I've put Asher back to bed several times): Buddy if I have to come back in here I am taking your books awayAsher: But what if it gets too noisy in here, then will you come?
Me: It's late, it won't get too noisy
Asher: but what if I hear Wee-ooo, wee-ooo?
Me: we live by the fire station, you hear that all the time.
Asher: but will you come? I will be scared
Me: It's not scary. Just think about being a firefighter when you grow up
Asher: why would I do that?
Me: It's a cool job maybe you would like to work as a firefighter someday.
Asher: But I don't want to work when I am bigger
Me: me neither Buddy, me neither.
I saw this meme just days after we returned from our vacation. If you've read those posts, you know that this was perfect!
When our daycare was closed after our vacation this summer, Eric's dad came out to help us with the boys. On the first day that he watched them, he said that he had put Avery down for a nap and then saw on the monitor that he had gotten out of bed. When Eric's dad went in to check on him he was greeted by Avery standing at the door and holding out his dirty diaper in his hands for Gramps to take care of!
Labor Day Weekend pictures that got forgotten.

At dinner one night a couple of weeks ago, Eric and I were talking about work. Asher chimes in and says, "when I'm bigger, I'm going to do a different kind of work!"...good call buddy...good call
Asher drew this picture of our family a couple of weeks ago. It was the first time that we had actual 'bodies'. We still look a bit like War of the World aliens, but it's progress!
