Playing Outside

It has been so incredibly nice out lately - and we have had fun playing outside with Asa! I made a "leash" for him out of brightly colored cloths tied together so that when we are outside and I am planting flowers he can't just run to the lawn mower - oh, did I mention that Asa runs? Asa walks and runs and goes EVERYWHERE!!! He is hard to keep up with!! Anyway - we took 11 month old pictures and we went to California in March, so I have many pictures to post - just no time to post! So here are some favorites from playing outside and I will try to get some more posts coming consistently soon! Love you all!

A Birthday Post from Asa

Today was my Mommy's Birthday -

She had to work, so while she was at work Daddy and I played and then we picked her up and took her out for lunch. This is me in my Mommy's favorite shirt when I woke up from a nap.

I like birthdays because we all get to be together and Mommy and Daddy took me to the park!

It was so nice out - and I had fun walking all around - even without holding someone's hand - and there were so many ducks and geese and birds to look at - one goose even hissed at me! Daddy and Mommy were scared but I thought it was funny!

We tried to feed the catfish too but they weren't out today - I liked all the water though and stuck my hand through all the bars.

Then we got Mommy a birthday cake - a chicken cake! And she blew all the candles out in one breath!

Claxton and I were trying to help her - but she didn't need our help.

I really, really wanted to lick the cake - but I'm too little still. :(

Happy Birthday Mommy!

We made Mommy wear the birthday hat - and Mommy and Daddy both blew party noise makers - but they scared me so much... I screamed...

and screamed...
and screamed!! Mommy thought it was funny. But I didn't!

I think it was a good birthday - and I can't wait for my birthday next month - then I get to eat the cake for sure! Happy Birthday, Mommy!
