Summary

Everyone enjoys an ice cream sandwich now and then.

Today we spent the day at my parents’ house and it couldn’t have been a better day. After spending the morning moving some furniture around their house, we all sat down on the couch that got moved to the garage and enjoyed the beautiful 65 degree weather. Dad surprised everyone by coming out with a package of ice cream sandwiches and when he asked if Asher would want one of them, I said that he could just eat off of mine.

Asher quickly corrected me as he took my entire ice cream sandwich and said ’thank you Daddy,’ and proceeded to eat the behemoth confection himself. Despite the pleasantly cool weather, the ice cream began to melt and Asher began to enjoy the sandwich even more.

Gathering to celebrate Mason's 4th birthday.

Tonight we had a lot of fun when we headed over to Brig’s house to help Mason celebrate his 4th birthday. Pizza, presents and cake were in ready supply as we had fun socializing with Brig and co., in addition to Stephanie’s parents and Tiffani and her family.

Afterward, Tiff, Travis and the kids, followed us home, though we did make a brief stop at the observatory at UT to check out Mars and the moon through their rooftop refracting telescope. It turned out to be quite a night of fun for everyone!

Summary

Asher hanging out with his closest compatriots.

When it comes to stuffed animals, Asher certainly has an elite entourage that accompanies him on his adventures. They vary by species, but he knows them by the names of Yoree (Eeyore the donkey), Kissing Frog, Tweet Tweet (the penguin), and Twinkle Star (the monkey that plays ’Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ when you press his belly).



It’s funny to see how he likes nothing better than kicking back on the sofa with a few stuffed friends and catching a flick from time to time.

Summary

The most snow I've seen in Austin for years.

I was pretty excited when Austin got a few snow flurries last December, but that was nothing compared to what we got today. Kyle wasn’t hit nearly as hard, though Asher enjoyed playing in what came their way, but the look from outside my office window was remarkable. It was a full on whitewash.

Summary

A day at the ball park with Asher

This weekend certainly has taken its fair share of ups and downs. It all started with Asher and I going on an adventure to find a mysterious observatory in west Austin that Justin swears he visited at some point. After diligently searching high and low with no luck, Asher and I drove over to the park near the dam to take some photos only to discover that my camera’s battery was completely dead.

Down, but not beaten, Asher and I decided that we’d head over to UT to see if we could snag any last minute tickets for the baseball game. We were in luck and managed to get some great seats right behind home plate. UT won (which is great considering they lost 2 of the 3 in that series) and we even got a 50 cent piece when we bought popcorn.



So in light of not having my camera at the game, here is a consolation photo to prove we’re not just making up this magical weekend.
