Lots of silliness..

There have been a few silly-heads in our house recently...
Kaitlyn hanging out with daddy and BB (and then dancing a bit)- note that she's only halfway dressed as it was almost bedtime:
Paul showing off his new haircut from "Mommy's Barbershop" (as well as the entire side of a chicken nugget he covered with ketchup- eeww!):
Daddy and Kate sporting some shades last week:
Paul and Brian Sowers 'making sandwiches' during their visit:

A Weekend at the Aspers "Pool"

We decided this weekend to open our own pool club in our backyard- we upgraded from a one-ring inflatable pool to a three ring pool (which is already down to a 2-ring after a hole)- although to Paul, it was "BIG BIG BIG." Uncle Dave and Brian came to test out our membership options Saturday afternoon and Aunt Kerry visited as well.

The pool (and sand table and slide nearby) were a hit- as well as our hot dogs at lunch on the deck. Paul can polish off 1 1/2 without trying, so we're thinking of having him train for the hot dog eating contests when he gets older.
Kaitlyn even got into the pool Sunday afternoon (by then it was a grassy, warm, kind of gross mess) after watching us play in the monrning.
She stayed in for almost half an hour- she seemed to really like it and didn't mind at all when her brother would jump in nearby.


Uncle Ryan came by (and was quicky asked/demanded to borrow one of daddy's bathing suits) and afterwards joined us for a hamburger cake- which daddy and Paul have been eyeing up at the grocery store all summer (it's not quite yet snowman cake season).

Sowers and Fern

Brian and Paul had a good time this weekend. Here is a picture of them playing in the family room with their dads.

Friends from Lancaster

Uncle Dave and Aunt Angie and my cousin Brian came to visit this memorial day weekend. Here is a picture of Aunt Angie and BJS enjoying an adult beverage on Friday night.
